Rinbu- Revolution.
|
| (music beforehand)
Live reality with bravery,
as every person should...
(yuuku nashi)
Even though I may be frightened of
letting anyone get too close
(chou kowai)
Ware o Shinka suru
Reflecting off of the window,
a harsh glare on the glass
Was the image I glanced in there
my own or some other contorted thing?
I couldn’t tell from such an angle.
(anta dare?)
I know we hurt from our memories,
secrets we fear to reveal
It’s a lie to say we can’t change,
so let’s combine our strength and courage
(evolution)
Even if I dream, even though I cry,
though I still ache inside
I can’t shamelessly deny reality anymore
So together, the way it was meant,
with all our trust in each other,
Let’s change the way we used to live.
Revolutionize, evolutionize,
every piece of the world
Into something that could
outshine even the gold sun
Even though I may be frightened of
letting anyone get too close
I promise you that I will change the world.
(music afterwards) |
| Red and white rose petals
coalesce at the center of the screen, forming a closed rose, then opens
up. The screen movies into the center of the rose, and orbs of light flash
by, then overtake the screen. |
Strings of lavender hair
thread into the light as the singing begins, then cherry red hair, and
Starr and Faris in their Rocket uniforms move up the screen until their
feet have gone by. (yuuku nashi)
The two of them spin together in their Rocket uniforms, their uniforms
changing into street clothing, and when the transformation is complete,
the two of them fluidly sit down together. Faris has an unimpressed look
on her face with a slight smirk crossing her lips while Starr is winking,
looking playful. (chou kowai)
The two of them split apart, like pages being pulled apart, and behind
them is light. The light fades to show the Touch and Go logo, which glitters
for a couple of seconds before the singing starts again. |
| Faris traces a finger across
a mirror, outlining her reflection. Once can at first only see her profile,
but as the scene slowly rotates, one can see Starr is on the other side
of the mirror. Jessie and James peek in from the side, although they do
not appear on Faris’ side. Faris sighs and rests her back on the mirror,
and on the other side, Starr does the same; Jessie and James disappear
as they do. (anta dare?) A teardrop splashes into a clear black
pool, creating ripples. |
| Faris sits at a window,
gazing out with a sad expression on her face. Starr joins her at the window,
smiling at her, and Faris turns to her and genuinely smiles as well. Jessie
and James walk up and join them, Jessie with her hands on her hips and
James with his arms crossed; both of them are smiling as well. They glance
at each other, and Jessie leans on the wall as James kneels down next to
Faris. Faris and James smile at each other, take each other’s hand, and
all four of them look out the window together. The scene turns to the blue
sky outside... (evolution) and the scene swiftly shifts up and up,
eventually to a shaded silhouette of Giovanni in his chair, what little
of his face uncovered by shadows hidden by his folded hands. |
| ...and when
it passes, Faris in her Rocket uniform, yet with her hair free, and pointing
Batts into battle. Batts in turn sends a ring of pale translucent light
from the star on his forehead. The scene abruptly shifts to Jessie, who
is screaming an order to Arbok, who in turn sweeps past her to attack.
Next comes Ash with his cap on backwards. A determined look is on his face
and Pikachu is at his feet; Pikachu’s cheeks crackle and a bolt of lightning
surges up from her. Next comes James, who uses a sweeping motion of his
arm to order Weezing to attack; Weezing in turn sets up a smoke screen
which blows over them both. The screen sweeps across, showing Misty and
Brock; in Misty’s arms is Togepi, and Brock has Onix out and behind him.
Onix dives over Brock and into the ground, while Togepi waves its tiny
arms and a bright flash of light overtakes it and Misty. When the two are
gone, Starr is attacking with Raichu and Meowth; Raichu’s electricy streaks
across the screen, and Meowth slashes the screen to shreds. The shreds
shrink and disappear, showing the four Rockets without their Pokémon
sitting in different positions in a circle, their backs to each other.
Behind them, Mewtwo approaches, and the ground is falling apart and flying
up around him as he walks on all fours. Starr, Jessie, and James disappear,
but Faris remains, and both Mewtwo and she stands, facing each other. The
two gaze at each other with no expression on either of their faces; the
earth around them breaks apart, then flies up around them, although they
pay the desctruction no heed. One of the pieces of earth flies up in front
of them, blocking the scene, and it shifts to... |
...a white rose, which explodes
into a flurry of petals. As each petal dances about, the cast of TaG appear
together: in order, Faris, Starr, James, Jessie, Ash and Pikachu, Misty,
Brock, Mewtwo and Mew, and Giovanni and Lenna. They remain the way they
are for a second, then the screen goes to Faris’ face, and her eyes open
sharply. A red rose petal sweeps over them, creating a clean slate.
In a flurry of red and white rose petals, Starr and Faris reach out for
each other through a mirror. Their arms pierce the glass like it’s only
water, and once their hands join, all the rose petals abuptly turn pink,
then swirl around the two. |
| Starr, James, and Jessie
are all shown as they stand together: Starr facing forward, James facing
to the right, and Jessie facing the left, although she's glancing forward,
winking and smiling. Below them, Faris is kneeling and smirking slightly,
her arm resting on her knee and her hair swept around her shoulders. |

Live reality with bravery, as every person should... (yuuku
nashi)
Even though I may be frightened of letting anyone get too close (chou
kowai)
Ware o Shinka suru
Reflecting off of the window, a harsh glare on the glass
Was the image I glanced in there my own or some other contorted thing?
I couldn’t tell from such an angle.
It seemed like such a long time ago, though it was yesterday
And what felt like ‘only yesterday’ happened so long ago
Masaka! Have my senses rejected me? (anta dare?)
I know we hurt from our memories, secrets we fear to reveal
It’s a lie to say we can’t change, so let’s combine our strength and courage
(evolution)
No matter how fast, no matter how long, you can run away,
The innocence of youth will be deflowered by worldly truth
Even though I may be frightened of letting anyone get too close
You’re not afraid, and that gives me courage
There’s always someone who thinks they know where life will take them
And of course it all shatters C’est la vie no choushi,
deshou...
I’ve learned to accept it, but it’s still painful
It’s so easy to be cynical, cursing the way life flows
Without trying to change your situation, but I can’t remain that way
I don’t know what to do anymore (kanashii desu ne)
That old feeling... I want to mature and discover the real me
Though I never thought I could, I understand you. Your feelings are the
same as mine... (evolution)
Even if I dream, even though I cry, though I still ache inside
I can’t shamelessly deny reality anymore
So together, with my hand in yours, with all our trust in each other
Let’s live the promise we made back then
I’ll go my way shiroi ashita never faltering
I won’t waver from the path I’ve chosen kitto
A cherished love, a treasured time, unforgettable
I’ll never abandon my memories...
Ware o Shinka suru I realize now I
can’t shamelessly deny reality anymore
So together, the way it was meant, the way we’ll all reach our peak,
Let’s change the way we used to live.
Revolutionize, evolutionize, every piece of the world
Into something that could outshine even the gold sun
Even though I may be frightened of letting anyone get too close
I promise you that I will change the world... |
