The End of the Road For All Trainers

suggested by Phantasy


The adventure started in Pallet Town; Oak brought me down
And gave me my first (though my rival thought it was the worst.)
I won the Boulder Badge, Pewter City's Brock gives.
Misty's a tough maid, but I won the Cascade.
Thunder Badge was won when Surge went down;
Then Erika awarded me the Rainbow, and so
Four-down-four-to-go I went to Saffron City Gym,
where a battle with Sabrina made the Marsh Badge mine.
Then I went to Fuchsia, fighting Koga for the Soul Badge and
down he went.
Blaine by Water, Rock and Ground was stumped, beaten, thrashed,
So I got the Volcano. But then,
Uh oh, Rocket foe, Giovanni, back again,
but I'm okay, strong enough, smart enough,
I beat the last Gym; but it's just a prelim, dummy,
For the challenge up at Indigo Plataeu. So,
Now I begin the training for my last fight, buildin' might,
feeling pretty psyched.

It's the end of the road for all trainers.
It's the end of the road for all trainers.
It's the end of the road for all trainers,
and I feel fine.

Gotta train; raise my power. Working 'till the final hour.
Fly, Surf, Dig, Slash, watching pokémon clash.
Taking Down, Thunderbolting, Drill Pecking, Earthquaking.
Fighting-types intimidate. Fire-types incinerate.
Raise a level, teach a move and evolve; resolve;
Watch my team crush--crushed! Uh-oh, this means
No deal, gotta heal; train again with real zeal;
Must be strong enough to make the tournament be mine.
Offer me Elixer, offer me a Full Restore and
I decline.

It's the end of the road for all trainers.
It's the end of the road for all trainers.
It's the end of the road for all trainers, (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
and I feel fine.

(I feel fine.)

[instrumental]

It's the end of the road for all trainers. (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
It's the end of the road for all trainers. (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
It's the end of the road for all trainers, (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
and I feel fine.

The other night I had a dream, that I had the winning team.
Rivals all blowing steam, I reign supreme!
The same dream that echoes in everyone who battles here.
Indigo tournament, final round, win!
But only one can manage to become the Champ,
right?
Fight!

It's the end of the road for all trainers. (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
It's the end of the road for all trainers. (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
It's the end of the road for all trainers, (It's time to show my greatest skill...)
and I feel fine.
