Start of an Adventure (song)

Start of an Adventure (Korean: 모험의 시작 Moheomui Sijak) is the first opening theme for the Korean dub of the original series. The opening animation uses footage from the first Japanese opening, Aim to Be a Pokémon Master. The full version of this song was used as the opening theme for the Korean dub of Mewtwo Strikes Back. 
The full version can also be found on the CDs Pocket Monsters OST (Vol. 1), where it is titled Pocket Monsters (Korean: 포켓몬스터 Pocket Monsters), Pocket Monsters OST (Vol. 2), and Pocket Monsters AG (New & Best). There is also a version of the song with female vocals, sung by Jang Sukhui, Jeong Yeojin and Kim Munseon.
An arrangement of the original song titled Start of an Adventure (2017 ver.) (Korean: 모험의 시작 (2017 ver.) Moheomui Sijak (2017 ver.)) replaced ALOLA! as the second opening theme for the Korean dub of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon. The full version of this arrangement, titled Start of an Adventure (20th Anniversary Ver.) (Korean: 모험의 시작 (20th Anniversary Ver.) Moheomui Sijak (20th Anniversary Ver.)) is used as the opening theme for the Korean dub of I Choose You!. This arrangement was later used as the opening theme for the Korean dubs of Pocket Monsters: Aim to Be a Pokémon Master, and EP260 to EP274 (released as Pokémon: Stories from the Johto Region - The Final Chapter and Pocket Monsters Episode: Gold & Silver: Stories from Mt. Silver).

Wherever and whenever, Pikachu is by my side
Whether in times of weakness or strength, Pikachu is by my side
We are the best if you and I are together
