Synopsis

The song is done in the style of a traditional Japanese ondō, with the beat provided by a Machamp (beating traditional Japanese taiko drums, no less!) and the backup vocals done by various Pokémon. Ash, Misty, and Brock appear in the song in traditional Japanese festival outfits (ostensibly yukata) and dance throughout the ending along with Meowth, Pikachu and Jigglypuff.
