The Mudkip and the Pelipper are best friends
The Mudkip gets into the Pelipper's big mouth
And they fly through the sky today too, far and high
"Aren't I heavy?" "You're not heavy."
"Isn't it scary?" "It's not scary."
If I'm together with you, we can go anywhere—
That's what I believed
The Mudkip and the Pelipper are best friends
What? Mudkip is evolving!
And though the Mudkip should have been happy
Somehow, they seem anxious
"What should I do if I can no longer fit?"
"Those times will soon be over, you know!"
The two of them quarreled for the first time
And weren't able to say, "See you later."
The next day, the Mudkip met the Pelipper
The Mudkip stopped evolving
And even though the Pelipper should have been able to fly again
Somehow, they seem sad
"It's fine if you evolve
Don't avoid it for my sake
Even if we can't fly together anymore
Our friendship won't change."
The Mudkip heard that and smiled
"It's not your fault!
I chose this by myself
I want to stay as a Mudkip
More than evolving and being able to get stronger
I always want to fly with you
After all, playing with you in the sky
Was such a treasured memory."
The Mudkip and the Pelipper smiled through their tears
The Mudkip gets into the Pelipper's big mouth
And today and tomorrow, I'll fly through the sky
With you, with you, far and high
