==Trivia==
==Lyrics==
* [[DP004]] was the first episode to feature this opening.
===TV size===
* This opening uses lots of Pokémon terminology in its lyrics such as {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Defog}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.
{{Schemetable|Sinnoh}}
* If the opening is used at least until [[DP085]], it will be the longest running opening of the [[Pokémon anime]]. The current longest running opening is the original mix of [[Aim to be a Pokémon Master]], which was the first opening, and ran from [[EP001]] until [[EP080]]. Currently, it only needs to be used in ten more episodes to break this.

| <ab>With your Last Resort, a Steadfast heart
Let's go cross the tall Mt. Coronet
 
Who will we get? Where will we meet them?
I'm excited, as if it's a Secret Base
 
A new town, we'll proceed there
During shining times
Yay yay yay yeah!!
 
Battles are
Never Sweet
Spicy? Bitter? Dry? Sour, right?
We are alive
So feel together
Yay yay yay yeah!!
 
Blast away with Aqua Jet
And Defog away our clouded spirits
Rock Climb
Look, if we can climb over
Good good smile!!
Everyone good good smile!!
 
In the middle of a long, long journey
When I recall the uncountable battles
 
Crossing space and time, we can meet
Everyone's dazzling faces
Yay yay yay yeah!!
 
I'm still inexperienced so I train everyday
Win or lose, the end is still a handshake
Sorry, but the {{DL|Pokétch|Friendship Checker}} reads zero, truly
It makes you cry cry cry, right!!
 
When your eyes are glittering like diamonds or pearls
First in the beginning, use a [[Quick Ball]]!!

==Trivia==
* [[DP004]] is the first episode to feature this opening, though [[DP002]] and [[DP003]] feature it on DVD releases.
** The DVD release also has a variation in the opening text in those two episodes, mentioning only Dawn, with no mention of Ash, making it the only time Ash is not mentioned in the opening text.
* This opening uses lots of Pokémon terminology in its lyrics such as the moves {{m|Aqua Jet}}, {{m|Defog}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.
* All moves named in the song are new moves in [[Generation IV]], two among them [[HM]]s.
* "Spicy? Bitter? Dry? Sour?" refers to [[Poffin]] flavors.
* Together is a playable song in the DS game, {{wp|Taiko no Tatsujin DS|Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon!}}
* This is the first opening to use a new mix for the same animation sequence, barring any changes to the sequence.
* Together was used as an opening theme across 94 consecutive episodes of the Pokémon anime, more than any other song for 15 years until [[One, Two, Three]] (136 episodes).
** However, if one were to count Together (77 episodes) and Together2008 (17 episodes) as different themes, this record would go to [[Best Wishes! (song)|Best Wishes!]] instead (84 episodes).
* This opening has had the most variants in terms of animation out of any other opening, with 17 (19 if one counts the versions that fix the animation errors).

* Brock's Croagunk's paw is miscolored blue. This was corrected in [[DP033]], but redrawn again in [[DP034|the following episode]].
* The marking on James's Cacnea's head is colored yellow, like its crown, instead of dark green. This was corrected in [[DP046]].
* Dialga is shown with both its upper lips and the diamond on its chest as silver instead of blue. This was corrected in [[DP046]].
* Dawn's Pachirisu's right paw is missing its toes in one of the variants. This was corrected in [[DP060]].

Synopsis

A new day dawns. Ash and Pikachu are on the top of a hill. The camera lowers and the Diamond & Pearl logo appears.

Ash, Pikachu, Dawn, and Brock are on the top of a tree while several Pokémon, like Altaria, Fearow, and Misdreavus are flying in the background. A Chatot flies near the camera.

On a tree's branches, three Cherrim, a Kricketot, a Pachirisu, a Burmy, and a Budew are dancing with happy faces.

Ash and his friends are chasing a Glameow in a city. The Glameow runs towards an alley. Then, they are shown crossing a Bibarel's dam and exploring a dark cave, where they find a Drapion.

Images of Ash, Dawn, and Brock with their Pokémon appear. Then, an image featuring Professor Oak, Tracey, Delia, and Mimey appears, followed quickly by an image of Johanna and Professor Rowan, another of Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny, and a final one showing the staff of Pokémon Contests: judges Raoul Contesta and Mr. Sukizo, and announcer Marian.

Then, with a picture of Paul with a serious face as a background, Ash sends out Turtwig, Staravia, Pikachu and Buizel, showing their moves Razor Leaf, Wing Attack, Volt Tackle, and Aqua Jet, respectively.

Ash and Paul are fiercely looking at each other, standing with their Pokémon. Dawn sends out Piplup and Buneary, from their Poké Balls, with Seals placed on their Capsules. Dawn and Zoey appear, and then Team Rocket does, smiling, with their Pokémon.

Ash and his friends are riding jet skis while Mantyke and Buizel jump over them and the Mythical Manaphy appears.

Meanwhile, the Legendary Palkia and Dialga are roaring, although they are in distant places; while Lucario is looking at them.

Ash, Pikachu, and Brock are sitting on a giant Poké Ball, and Dawn is sitting in front of it. They all smile.

I'm still inexperienced so I train everyday
Win or lose, the end is still a handshake
Sorry, but the Friendship Checker reads zero, truly
It makes you cry cry cry, right!!

First in the beginning, use a Quick Ball!!
When it's perfectly settled
In a Multi Battle...
Good good smile!!

That place we pledged
Yay yay yay yeah!!

  • Together is a playable song in the DS game, Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon!
  • This is the first opening to use a new mix for the same animation sequence, barring any changes to the sequence.
  • Together was used as an opening theme across 94 consecutive episodes of the Pokémon anime, more than any other song for 15 years until One, Two, Three (136 episodes).
    • However, if one were to count Together (77 episodes) and Together2008 (17 episodes) as different themes, this record would go to Best Wishes! instead (84 episodes).
  • This opening has had the most variants in terms of animation out of any other opening, with 17 (19 if one counts the versions that fix the animation errors).
