(Open on younger versions of Leon, Sonia, Grant, Raihan, and Nessa standing over the Wild Area as an upbeat beat plays. The color pallet in all scenes reflect )

Seven years ago a story is told.
About how Leon rose to the top.

(Cut to Nessa fishing with Sonia in the docks of Hulbury.)

And how friendships forged all those years ago,
Continue to this very day.

(Cut to Leon with Charmeleon battling Raihan, the duo both smiling.)

Four trainers and friends rivals to each other,
All begin to battle to rise to the top!

(Cut to Nessa, Raihan, Sonia, and Leon eating Curry together as their Pokémon, a Squirtle, a Charmeleon, a Chewtle, and a Trapinch play together in the background.)

Four friends journey,
Across Galar together.

(Color palate suddenly darkens as the camera pans, keeping Leon in frame as the others fade out to a scene of Leon looking at a letter with a depressed expression.)

As the future champion,
Is haunted by a debt.
And an unseen hand,
Controlling all.

(Camera pans back to an upbeat scene of Leon running down the road with his Charmeleon past Sonia and her Squirtle, Nessa and her Chewtle, and Raihan and his Trapinch all of whom smile and tag along with him.)

All of them desire to reach the championship.
But in the end only one can prevail!

(Color suddenly darkens as Leon looks behind him to see a massive Vespiqueen glowing with red energy over two dead bodies.)

And none are aware of,
The tragedy that will soon come!

(Sonia grabs Leon's shoulder, snapping him back to the present where his three friends smile at him and that continue on.)

And so they continue,
Strong friendships being forged,
As they journey,
To the championship!

(The four are shown running together with their Pokémon as the last verses play.)

Come on!
Only one can prevail!
And none of them,
Will go down without a fight!

So the four of them,
Will journey on,
Giving every battle,
Their all!

(End on the four posing with their Pokémon, Leon and his Charmeleon doing Leon's signature pose, Sonia happily standing back to back with Nessa who holds her Chewtle in her arms as Squirtle eats a berry by Sonia's side as Raihan lets Trapinch rest on his head.)
