Summary:
The second dub opening began in episode "The Lost Lapras". The song 'Pokémon World' that accompanied the opening was sung by Russell Velázquez. Once again, the intro includes clips from the second Japanese opening of the animated series, Rivals!
The opening starts off with a Poké ball fading in from the circle in the center of a battlefield. The Poké ball opens to reveal the Pokémon logo that zooms forward towards the screen. A bunch of Pokémon are seen running in a pack until it quickly transitions to Ash in a darkened stadium.
Ash looks down at the ground as Tracey, Misty, Delia and Professor Oak are the only ones there looking on. Ash raises his head. The next scene shows Ash and Pikachu battling Ritchie and Sparky.
The sea appears and Ash and his friends are riding Lapras as they journey through the Orange Islands. Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy quickly zoom by them on a seadoo.
Ash throws a Poké ball towards the screen as Misty's Staryu, Ash's Snorlax and then Ash's Charizard each take turns on screen. A quick static scroll down shows some of Ash's rivals including: Gary, Samurai, Hiker, Duplica, Mandi, Jeanette Fisher, Giselle and A.J.
The scene transitions to Ash and his friends are riding Lapras again until Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket makes his appearance as he points towards the viewers. Jessie, James and Meowth also appear on their Magikarp submarine until a Gyarados appears and bats them away.
Tracey's Pokémon get a quick appearance after various water Pokémon and fire Pokémon use their attacks in the previous scene. The infamous Jigglypuff gets its second of fame until Pikachu shows up and uses his Thunderbolt as it zooms out to show the planet and the Pokémon logo.
