'''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 {{AP|Pikachu}} on his shoulder, makes a phone call to his [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] while [[Mimey]] stands next to her. {{an|Cilan}} and {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} sends an e-mail to [[Chili]], who receives it at the [[Striaton Gym]] with {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} standing next to him. {{an|Iris}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} send a letter to the {{OBP|elder|Village of Dragons}} and [[Shannon]] via {{p|Wingull}}. At [[Nuvema Town]], [[Professor Juniper#In the anime|Professor Juniper]] tells {{an|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 {{TP|Stephan|Sawk}} flex in the background. Georgia hangs up and looks up into the air sadly while her {{p|Beartic}} stares at her. The scene transitions to {{an|N}} extending his hand to a group of {{p|Pidove}}, {{un|Cameron}} walking with his {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, [[Virgil]] and {{p|Eevee}} flying in a helicopter, and [[Trip]] taking pictures while his {{TP|Trip|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 {{TRM|Meowth}} are seen with {{TR|Delibird}}, who gives them blueprints for a {{p|Basculin}} submarine from [[Dr. Zager]] on a tablet. On a beach, {{AP|Scraggy}} trips on the ground, but is helped up by Pikachu and Axew. On top of a tree, Pansage and {{AP|Snivy}} hand apples to {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and {{AP|Pignite}} while a stuffed {{AP|Oshawott}} sleeps and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} greedily eats apples in the background. In a city, {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}} and {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} can't get up some stairs, so {{AP|Charizard}} and {{TP|Iris|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.

*[[BW123]]-[[BW142]]: Original version.

*[[BW127]]-[[BW138]]: {{tt|*|TV version only}}: The scenes from Bianca using her Xtransceiver to the slideshow are replaced with live action shots and stills of the members of Shiritsu Ebisu Chūgaku cosplaying as each of the [[Eeveelution]]s, including Eevee. The flowing banner is shortened and switches to a shot of the girl group holding hands in front of an animated sky background which transitions to the circle surrounded by the anime characters. The end shot of the Pokémon planet doesn't have Poké Balls flying around anymore, instead it is shown closer up with the singers in anime-form.
