We got an interview from the artists of the second opening recently on the official PR account for the anime (translation by Dephender can be found on this link!), and I found this bit really interesting:
Q2: Which parts of the lyrics are especially meaningful? yama: One of the first parts of the lyrics I wrote has a bit that talks about "the truth of the world". I think everyone has something they pursue, and the Pokémon anime likewise has both kids that have a goal or a dream they embrace, as well as kids that haven't found a dream yet. That's why I wanted to include words like "found" or that talk about pursuing something together.
The italicized bits in the quote above being the part in the video interview during which Amethio is shown! Friede is pictured in the first part of the sentence, and then Amethio is immediately shown when yama-san is talking about how "there are kids that haven't found a dream yet."
So yeah, it was already quite clear before but Amethio doesn't have a dream and what he's been doing from the beginning isn't something he is doing for himself. While his current "objective" is similar to Roy's dream (they both want to reach Rayquaza as of now), the stark difference here is that Roy's dream is his own, it's something he wants for himself, while Amethio is acting for someone else's sake and isn't chasing his own wish.
I also like the juxtaposition of Friede and Amethio shown one after another, too. I feel like this says so much about their rivalry, they stand more or less as equals on the battlefield (which raises its own set of questions but that's for another day) but their dynamics highlights Amethio's emotional immaturity in some ways. Friede is older and has something he pursues and a goal for himself, and Amethio is younger and doesn't have something like that. Friede went through a time he felt stuck and aimless but he managed to turn his life around, so I wonder if that's something Amethio will learn too (through Friede or other circumstances).
Anyway, given how it's stated that some characters don't have a dream yet, I wonder if they will depict Amethio eventually finding one. The series is about "finding" something important through adventure, after all.
Glad you like it!

DONT TELL ME I FORGOT ABOUT "MADE IN ABYSS"
Made In Abyss is a anime staring Riko, Reg and Nanachi. Sadly, I could only watch the first season cause on amazon prime, you have to pay for the second, i guess i might be able to watch it on freemovies.cc but im watching something else rn. I know the 1st season has 10 episodes but idk bout the second. it follows riko, reg and nanachi as they explore the depths of a magical hole.
also, i started watching "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" and its pretty good! it follows Rimuri, (formerly a human but got stabbed and died, but then got reincartaned as a slime) as he aspires to create peace throughout the magical land he awakened in.
I also started watching "BOFURI: I Don't Want To Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense" which stars Maple (Kaede) and Sally (Risa) and their guild, Maple Tree, as they complete quests and missions in a computerized world.
