This was my 3rd attempt at a Pokemon Theme Song Cover. I had started off doing an epic, true-to-original cover but the original is amazing already - so why re-make something that is already fantastic?

Instead, I took to the other extreme - from epic, to laid back and relaxed. Something to keep in the background at your next cheese and wine party and see if anyone catches on :p

I also wrote a third verse - I hope the lyrics fit!

It ended up being more of a rendition than a cover as it's so different! (So keep an open mind when listening) ;)

The Togepi pic (and animated Togepi for the youtube video of this song) is by Sam Green. Thanks Sam! :D

Lyrics:
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside

(Chorus)
Pokémon (gotto catch em all)
Its you and me
I know it's my destiny
Pokémon, oh you're my best friend
In a world we must defend

Pokémon, a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right
There is no better team
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream

(Chorus)

I will rise onto the top
With honour and skill
I will be strong, I will survive
This quest is now my thrill

I will believe until the end
No matter what I fear
With Pokémon by our side
Our victory is clear!

(Chorus)
