Rival! is the second opening ever, used for the Orange Islands arc. It's another fast paced and upbeat song.

Let's battle!

Roar, Splash, Fly
Tri-Attack, Mega Punch!
Sing, Rest, Psychic
Skull Bash, Thunderbolt!
Win or lose, I'll celebrate
Let's battle, a Pokémon battle!

It's so disappointing to lose
That I'm trembling, but,
My clenched fist loosens
I wipe the sweat on my jeans, let's shake hands!

Isn't the flow of time mysterious?
"Do you remember who won?"
Now, look!
I can laugh as I talk with you
"Let's forget it," said while playing dumb
Those are my rivals

Double-edge, Karate chop
Aurora beam, Hydro Pump!
Leer, Metronome
Razor leaf, Quick attack!
Win or lose, I'll celebrate
Let's battle, a Pokémon battle!

I'm so happy to win
I want to cry, but
Both winning and losing are important
There must be something  to it!

Rivals are something amusing
"You still have a ways to go before you're grown!"
You see, look!
Because the road we've chosen is the same
"I won't lose!" With these words
We can talk of our identical dreams

The bud that is our dreams
Hasn't changed, but
Little by little it'll bloom...
I can feel it
