[Intro] [Verse 1 - Ash (Tenor)] I… wish to be the VERY best…! Like no one EVER waaaaassss! “EVER waaaaassss!” To catch them is my real test… To train them is my CAAAAAUSE!

[Verse 2 - Misty (Soprano)] You teach me things… I never knew! Like friendship… and… hydro-pump too! Your courage sparks… the light in me! Together we shall DEFEAAAAT— [Verse 3 - Brock (Baritone)] —with rice balls and my recipe! Oh Misty, my stew is hot! And so am I, just ask my pot! My wok of destiny shall burn… Until all hearts… and dumplings… turn! [Recitative - Misty & Brock] Brock, the time is not for sauce! But love… is best when lightly tossed! Save your soup, we’re under attack! My stew defends! I shan’t hold back! [Bridge - Team Rocket (Dramatic Duet – Mezzo + Tenor)] Prepare for trouble…! And make it doubléééé! To protect the world from devastation! To opera-fy every nation! We sing with flair, with boots so tall… Then vanish in a fireballlll! [Chorus - Frightened Townsfolk (Mixed SATB)] Oh no! Not them again — those fools with flair! They monologue and flip their hair! Fly off again with flair and scream… For *blasting off* is their eternal dream!
