Lyrics

TV version

When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start
But that's the hardest part
And trust me
It gets better

I finally know where I belong
This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming
Me

Full version

When you lead with your heart
It's so scary at the start
But that's the hardest part
And trust me
It gets better

I finally know where I belong
This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me

I've worked hard
Come so far
It's my story
I'm the star
And the road I'm on
Could go until forever

Every day there's something new
Every day I share with you

I've got a feeling
(I've got a feeling)
With you
I'm becoming
I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming me
(I'm becoming me)

We're looking for new horizons
Let's go explore new horizons
We're looking for new horizons
Let's go explore new horizons

This is the way the weak grow strong

I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
I've got a feeling
With you
I'm becoming
Me
(I'm becoming me)
I'm becoming
Me

Version 1 (HZ001 - HZ025)

Synopsis

Liko holds her pendant before letting go, causing it to glow brightly as the camera zooms out. Roy holds one of the ancient adventurer's Poké Balls, gazing up at the clear sky surrounded by clouds. Liko and Roy lay down on the battlefield, exhausted as Sprigatito and Fuecoco come to their sides and they exchange a laugh. 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. In the kitchen, Murdock's Alcremie fills a bowl with cream as Murdock and Rockruff are ready to make something out of it. Friede enters the Captain's deck to check on Captain Pikachu and Charizard. In one of her videos, Nidothing and Quaxly dance and get up close to the camera. Charizard and Cap watch as Amethio orders Ceruledge to attack while Liko and Sprigatito clash with Roy and Fuecoco. Liko and Sprigatito are shown together outside the observation room, enjoying the breeze. The logo appears in front of all the Rising Volt Tacklers walking together ahead of the Brave Olivine.

Version 2 (HZ026 - HZ045)

Second version of Becoming Me

Synopsis

The black background is lit up as Liko's pendant floats down between her hands. Young Liko walks behind her parents through a market as the memory turns gray. In the present, Liko's look of uncertainty is lifted as she turns to look up at the night sky. On a dirt road, a dirtied Roy gazes at his Ancient Poké Ball before confidently looking to the sky. Transitions with lines showing off the Rising Volt Tacklers and their Pokémon occur, with Orla, Metagross, and Elekid, Mollie and Chansey, Dot and Quaxly, Murdock, Rockruff, and Alcremie, Ludlow and Quagsire, and finally Captain Pikachu in the captain's chair as Friede steers the airship. The scene changes to show the Black Rayquaza flying alongside the Brave Olivine as Terapagos, Sprigatito, Liko, Wattrel, Fuecoco, and Roy run on its back. The final shot shows the Rising Volt Tacklers' hands doing their trademark handshake below the bright sun as the logo appears.
