Synopsis

In a meadow with cherry blossom trees, Cilan is conducting the song, which is being sung by Ash, Iris, Cilan, and all of their Pokémon. Around them, the wild Pokémon are happily moving to the beat. New grass and flowers fill the field as they continue to sing. Team Rocket is sitting on a cliff nearby watching, and then smile (or join in on the singing). As the camera pans out, a rainbow appears.

Japanese English 青く　晴れ渡る空に　輝く瞳 さあ　胸を張れ　歩きだせ　夢のはじまり 喜び　悲しみを 明日への力にして 何度でも　何度でも 羽ばたける　強さを信じて 描こう　あの空いっぱいに 七色アーチ ゆっくりと　一歩でも きっと景色は　変わるはずさ さあ　行こう 君の未来へ 虹の向こうへ The eyes sparkling with the cleared-up blue sky Come on, puff up your chest and take a big step forward. It's the beginning of a dream. Turn your joys and sorrows into The power for tomorrow No matter how many times, no matter how many times Just believe that we have the strength to flap up and fly Let's sketch together the seven-colored arch In that great sky Even if we slowly take one step The scenery will indeed change Come on, let's go To your future To the other side of the rainbow

Japanese English 青く　晴れ渡る空に　輝く瞳 さあ　胸を張れ　歩きだせ　夢のはじまり 喜び　悲しみを 明日への力にして 何度でも　何度でも 羽ばたける　強さを信じて 描こう　あの空いっぱいに 七色アーチ 雨上がり　風が運ぶ　草、土の匂い 「生きてる」と　歌っているよ　今日がはじまる 大切な　思い出は 永遠に　笑ってる どこまでも　どこまでも 続く青い空を　見上げて 進もう　誰よりも眩しく 七色アーチ もし君が　つまづいて 挫けそうになった時でも 頑張る　その背中をそっと 誰かが見ている ゆっくりと　一歩でも きっと景色は　変わるはずさ さあ　行こう いっぱいの「希望」と「夢」を抱えて 君の未来へ… 虹の向こうへ The eyes sparkling with the cleared-up blue sky Come on, puff up your chest and take a big step forward. It's the beginning of a dream. Turn your joys and sorrows into The power for tomorrow No matter how many times, no matter how many times Just believe that we have the strength to flap up and fly Let's sketch together the seven-colored arch In that great sky The scents of grass and earth carried upon the wind after the rain Are singing "I am alive". Today is beginning. Precious memories will always Be smiling eternally Look up to the blue sky That continues on endlessly, endlessly Head on, more dazzling than anyone The seven-colored arch Even if you stumble Even when you are almost crushed Your back showing your perseverance Is being silently watched by someone Even if we slowly take one step The scenery will indeed change Come on, let's go Carry those dreams and wishes To your future To the other side of the rainbow

Ending animation spoilers

• Ash's Tranquill, Swadloon, and Tepig evolving into Unfezant, Leavanny, and Pignite, respectively.
• Ash's capture of the sunglasses Krokorok.
• Cilan's Dwebble evolving into a Crustle.

Trivia

Boldore's red spine

• It is technically impossible for Ash to have all of his Pokémon with him at once. However, the opening has Ash sitting with all of his Unova Pokémon.
• Whimsicott is the only evolved wild Pokémon present.
• Irony: Purrloin, the Pokemon that Cilan is afraid of, being among the group of wild Pokemon that he happily sings to.

Errors

• During the closeup shot of Ash's Pokémon, his Boldore has a red spine instead of blue. However, this was corrected in BW064.
