Around us lurk mysterious powers
Hey lazybones, I'm checking on you
Bad, bad! A misplay (misplay)
Spaced out, you're flying away (Yeah)
We got this! Stressing 'bout what's possible or impossible gets you nowhere
Let your impulses erupt like a volcano
Overflowing, short circuiting, going in circles makes you cute and strong, Ya get it?
An unexplored Shangri-la awaits
Blitz through borders, Grab a giant wave
Behold! This piece will rock your world!
Bang! Knockout
The top two showdown, The villain vanquished
Spin a fun little fable into the stuff of legends
The rest of your story starts here
(Ready, hop! Ready, jump!)
Let go, Speed past the speediest
I'll kick away adversity
And engrave my name into this earth
I'll paint my vision, crystal-clear
Down to the last brushstroke, Awake awake awake...
I'll take your hand in mine
It's on! Cross the end line
Don't limit yourself
I'll keep searching, I'll make it my way

====Notes====
==Trivia==
* This is the first ending theme song to feature Gym Leaders since Brilliantly.
* This ending theme features the most Gym Leaders.
* The hand gestures that Liko, Roy, and Dot are doing are based on 9Lana's persona's pose for this song.
* This is the first ending theme song to feature Elite Four members.
===Errors===
* Despite evolving in HZ059, the ending was updated in HZ060 with Dot's , but not all scenes with Dot's were updated with his evolution. Dot's Quaxwell was still portrayed as a Quaxly in the following scenes:
** When Liko, Roy, Dot, and their starter Pokémon are taking a group photo in the beginning of the ending and Quaxly leaps out, accidentally knocking over Roy's Rotom Phone.
** When Liko, Roy, Dot, and their starter Pokémon are walking throughout Paldea and and run past them.
** The ending shot of Dot looking at her Rotom Phone while Quaxly is laying on her stomach followed by the shot of Liko, Roy, Dot, and their starter Pokémon gazing at the stars.
