Let's Join Hands (Japanese: 手をつなごう Te o Tsunagō) is the sixth and final ending theme of the Best Wishes series. It debuted as an ending song in BW123, replacing Sakura Go-Round.
Ending Animation
Ash, with Pikachu on his shoulder, makes a phone call to his mother while Mimey stands next to her. Cilan and Pansage sends an e-mail to Chili, who receives it at the Striaton Gym with Pansear standing next to him. Iris and Axew send a letter to the elder and Shannon via Wingull. At Nuvema Town, Professor Juniper tells Bianca something, which causes her to freak out, trip over while running and call Burgundy, Georgia and Stephan on the Xtransceiver.
Burgundy, who's studying at a Pokémon Center with her Dewott, doesn't take the news well and gets angry. Stephan takes the news just fine and walks off while Don George and Sawk flex in the background. Georgia hangs up and looks up into the air sadly while her Beartic stares at her. The scene transitions to N extending his hand to a group of Pidove, Cameron walking with his Lucario, Virgil and Eevee flying in a helicopter, and Trip taking pictures while his Serperior sits next to him. Trip looks to the camera and takes a picture, which transitions to various screenshots of BW001 to BW122 and ends with a picture of Ash, Iris, and Cilan with their on hand Pokémon.
Jessie, James, and Team Rocket are seen with TRDelibird ([[{{{2}}} (move)|{{{2}}}]]), who gives them blueprints for a Basculin submarine from Dr. Zager on a tablet. On a beach, Scraggy trips on the ground, but is helped up by Pikachu and Axew. On top of a tree, Pansage and Snivy hand apples to Excadrill and Pignite while a stuffed Oshawott sleeps and Emolga greedily eats apples in the background. In a city, Crustle and Stunfisk can't get up some stairs, so Charizard and Dragonite help by lifting them off the ground.
Ash and Iris begin holding hands, and are soon followed by Cilan. The camera pans along various main characters and rivals from throughout the anime's run with their Pokémon standing next to them. Inside a circle sits an Eevee and its eight evolutions which is surrounded by Ash, who holds hands with his his friends and family in a giant circle. The camera zooms out to a map of Unova, which zooms out even further to show the entire planet from space. From space, several Poké Balls fly across the screen to indicate messages being sent out.

だれのせいでもないけど きみは道でころんで
そのままそこに寝転び 青い空を見上げた
ほほをつたう涙の きらめき飾りじゃない
生きてることのよろこび 今忘れちゃいけない
膝をついて 起き上がった
きみの背中にしみた
泥だらけの 傷跡の痛みは エールだ
きみと手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
ゼロからはじめよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
みんな手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
力を合わせよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
ずっと ずっと 手をつなごう

It's not anybody's fault when you fall down the road
Just lie down and look at the blue sky
The tear flowing down your cheek is not a glimmering decoration
Do not forget the joy of life today
Got off your knees and stood up
Your back is stained
But the pain of the mud-covered scar is cheering you on
Let's join hands, even more in painful times
Let's start from zero. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Everyone join hands, even more in painful times
Let's work together. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Let's always, always join hands.

みんな手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
力を合わせよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
みんな手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
力を合わせよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
だれのせいでもないけど きみは道でころんで
そのままそこに寝転び 青い空を見上げた
ほほをつたう涙の きらめき飾りじゃない
生きてることのよろこび 今忘れちゃいけない

ゼロからはじめよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
みんな手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
力を合わせよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
きみのだいじな友達 今はもうここにいない
あんなに約束してた 同じ夢めざそうと
たとえどんなに小さく まるで無力なきみでも
いつか交わした約束 果たせる日を信じよう
肩をすぼめ うつむいてる 泣き出しそうなきみも
勇気出して また歩きだそうよ 明日へ
きみと手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
イチからはじめよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
夜空に（星に） 届け愛よ
みんなの（願いが）つながってゆくように 未来へ
きみと手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
ここからはじめよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
みんな手をつなごう つらいときはもっと
力を合わせよう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
きみと手をつなごう 楽しいときはもっと
一緒に手をつなごう ほら ほら 手をつなごう
みんな手をつなごう 明るく微笑もう
力を合わせよう もっと もっと 手をつなごう
ずっと ずっと 手をつなごう

Everyone join hands, even more in painful times
Let's work together. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Everyone join hands, even more in painful times
Let's work together. Hey, hey, let's join hands
It's not anybody's fault when you fall down the road
Just lie down and look at the blue sky
The tear flowing down your cheek is not a glimmering decoration
Do not forget the joy of life today
Got off your knees and stood up, your back is stained
But the pain of the mud-covered scar is cheering you on
Let's join hands, even more in painful times
Let's start from zero. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Everyone join hands, even more in painful times
Let's work together. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Your most important friend is not here right now
But please aim for that promise and that same dream
No matter how small your strength is, even to the point of helplessness
Please believe on the day our promise will be fulfilled
Huddling up and hanging your head in shame, you cry
Just gather up your courage as you head for tomorrow
Let's join hands, even more in painful times
Let's start from one. Hey, hey, let's join hands.
The love conveyed to the night sky (and to the stars)
Everyone's (wishes) is bonded together as we head for the future
Let's join hands, even more in painful times
Let's start from here. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Everyone join hands, even more in painful times
Let's work together. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Let's join hands, even more in happy times
Together, let's join hands. Hey, hey, let's join hands
Everyone join hands and smile brightly even more
Let's work together. More, more, let's join hands
Let's always, always join hands
