Type: Wild (Japanese: タイプ：ワイルド lit. Taipu: Wairudo) is the fifth Japanese ending theme of the original series. It debuted in EP069, replacing Meowth's Song. It was used until EP105, when it was replaced by Riding on Lapras. A newly arranged version sung by Shōko Nakagawa replaced Notebook of the Heart as the fourth and final Japanese ending theme of Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon in SM129. The original version returned as the seventh and final Japanese ending theme of Pokémon Journeys: The Series as well as the final Japanese ending theme of Pokémon the Series, being used only in JN147.

An English-language version of the song was also produced for Pocket Monsters Encore, which was sung by Robbie Danzie and translated by Donessa Perry.

Synopsis

Ash's Pokédex floats around before opening up. As it opens the running silhouettes of Ash and Pikachu appear on the side of the screen while Ash and Pikachu themselves appear on the bottom. The screen of the Pokédex displays scenes from several of Ash's adventures as he reminisces about his life before becoming a Pokémon Trainer. He then reaffirms his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. The song ends with a picture of Ash and Pikachu on the screen of the Pokédex.
