Synopsis

Liko and Sprigatito are enjoying the breeze outside the Brave Olivine's observation room together. The camera quickly pans up to the sky and the series logo appears.

Friede enters the Captain's deck to check on Captain Pikachu and Charizard. A hardworking Orla wipes her forehead before exchanging a look with Elekid and Slugma. In the kitchen, Murdock's Alcremie fills a bowl with cream as Murdock and Rockruff are ready to make something out of it. Mollie is in the nursery with Chansey, Pawmi, Shuckle, Snorunt, and Alolan Muk, turning around in her chair as Chansey carries a tray to the opposite end of the room. Roy and Fuecoco skip and swing around together through a forest as various Pokémon they've encountered pass by in the opposite direction. Nidothing and Quaxly dance and get up into the fourth wall. Ludlow is fishing in the sunset as a Pelipper and three Wingull fly by him.

At night, Liko has her coat off and is on her Rotom Pad. She pets Sprigatito before looking out her window at the moon. A transition of her singing along with uncertainty panning to the left turns the screen blue. The next scene starts with Liko's feet walking to the rhythm of Sprigatito's wagging tail, and then Roy's hat swaying the rhythm of Fuecoco's head swaying. Liko holds her pendant before letting go, causing it to glow brightly as the camera zooms out. Liko and Roy lay down on the battlefield, exhausted as their partners come to their sides and they exchange a laugh. The camera zooms out, with Friede and his Pokémon watching the two, and a shooting star crosses over the ocean.

Liko commands Sprigatito to use Leafage, which Roy has Fuecoco counter with Ember. Orla, on her Metagross, and Murdock watch their battle. Mollie, Quaxly, and Ludlow are in the next scene. Noctowl, and then Friede with Charizard, and then Captain Pikachu are in the next. Roy holds one of the ancient adventurer's Poké Balls, gazing up at the clear sky surrounded by clouds where the Black Rayquaza flies overhead. Amethio battles Friede's Charizard with his Ceruledge, with fire in Friede's eyes. In the meeting room, Murdock places mugs around as the other Rising Volt Tacklers come in and are impressed. Liko and Sprigatito face away from the fourth wall, standing before clouds moving in the opposite direction she is facing. Liko becomes surprised when the other Rising Volt Tacklers walk by her and towards the Brave Olivine. They all turn around to Liko, with Roy waving for her to come along. Sprigatito jumps on Liko's shoulder and nuzzles her cheek, and she runs to join the Rising Volt Tacklers.

The final shot shows all the Rising Volt Tacklers walking together in front of the Brave Olivine. Liko, Roy, and their partners are in the center with Charizard and Captain Pikachu above them. Friede, Orla, Dot, Ludlow, and Quaxly are on the right with Metagross flying above them. Murdock, Mollie, Chansey, and Rockruff are on the left.

ドッキドキメキ気流に私は乗っている
きっとね

なんか言葉にできないこと
ちょっと心の臓 騒がすこと
なんとなく今日を照らすこと
ちょっと好みの花 見つけた!

白い霧ばかりエブリデイ
探したいものさえ探せないよ uh
わくわくしたそうなダイアリ
知らんぷりして放り出すなんて
ライヤイヤイヤイヤ…
やるせなかったハート

WOWOW
「でも、だけど」→「きっと、可能性あり」
気持ちいい風に浮遊して
うんとすっとちょっともっといつかは
飛べたらいいな!

ドッキドキメキ気流に私は乗っている!
きっとね イエイエイ
分からない物語にビビらないで
キラキラ空想に世界が踊る!
笑って イエイエイ
縮こまってる時間はないな

私を知りたい!
何もかもがまだ分からないないないない
私を見つけたい!
いってきますを声にできたなら
ちょっとだけ大人になったかもね
I'm starting to take a ride on this heart-pounding wave
I'll go far

There's a lot of things I can't really put into words
Things that make me sad, always troubling my heart
But somehow I'll know I'll shine on today
Look at the flowers blooming, now it's time to play!

I'm running through a white fog everyday
I can't even find what I'm looking for (uh)
It's this super-duper energetic-looking diary
But I said, "what's this?" and then I threw it away
No way, no way, no way, no way, no...
My heart was so dark and empty then

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
But now I know I can change "No way" to "It's possible"
Floating around on this feel-good wind
Even if it's gonna be really super tough
I'll try my best to fly!

And so, I'm riding on this heart-pounding wave!
But I'm sure that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I won't let stories I don't get scare me
In my sparkling daydreams, the world starts to dance!
So let's smile, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because there's no time to be afraid, yeah

I just wanna know myself!
Because there's still a lot, a lot, a lot I don't know, know, know, know
I just wanna find myself!
If I can find it in myself to say "I'm off now"
Then I guess I'll know I've grown up a bit

答えのない世界で生きてるせいです
未来は優秀にあっても変わんないし
叫んで イエイエイ
私らしく体現!

ドッキドキメキ気流を乗り越えた先には

分からない物語が待っている
小さな勇気で何かを変えよう!

ねえ、大切な話があるんだ
此処にない探しものがあるんだ
だから旅に出ます
そのうち帰ります

If I can find it in myself to say "I'm off now"
Then I guess I'll know I've grown up a bit, yeah

I'm nervous, so I'll take a deep breath
Everything feels like it's becoming way harder
There are no dreams written in my boring handwriting
Hey, I think I found the "me" that I hate

Wrapping myself in a black fog everyday
Getting stuck in the rain, I just wanna go home (oh)
Back to my super-duper energetic-looking diary
Getting excited now, and I'm running off into...
Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well, oh
Racing around, my heart is pounding

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I don't wanna lose my favorite accessories
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, there's still so many things that I have yet to learn, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I wanna feel like this, always forever
I just wanna shine just like that star (ah)

I'm being captivated by this heart-pounding wave!
I knew it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's all the fault of the answerless world I'm living in
Even if my future's super great, I'm not gonna change
So I'll yell "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
I'm just gonna be me!

Before I get off this heart-pounding wave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm waiting for my unknown story to be told, now
If I'm a little brave, who knows what I can change!

And hey, there's a really important story I gotta tell
About how I'm looking for something that's not quite here
So I'm heading off on a journey
And someday I know I'll return back home

By then I'll have grown up some more

Trivia

  • This is the first Japanese opening featuring humans to not feature Ash.
  • Among the first opening songs of all series, Heart-Pounding Diary has been used in the least amount of episodes before being replaced, at 23 episodes.

Errors

  • In HZ002, the middle section of Mollie's jacket's left sleeve was incorrectly colored gray instead of red when she turns around to look at Liko. This was corrected in HZ003.
