Synopsis

The song opens up to Pikachu, Oshawott, Snivy, and Tepig playing different instruments. As they play, an image of Pikachu jumping onto Ash's shoulder appears. It then changes to an image of Iris and her Axew smiling, and, later on, an image of Cilan holding his Pansage. It then changes to an image of Ash, Iris, and Cilan running through a field, an image of the group ready for battle, and, finally, an image of Ash, Iris and Cilan sitting near a campfire while their Pokémon sleep. The song ends with an image of Ash, Iris, and Cilan posing with their signature Pokémon.

BW001 - BW014

Japanese English
泣かないことが 強いことなんて
誰が言ったの??
思い切り泣いて ほら、顔をあげて
傷つく事から 逃げてた
昨日にサヨウナラ
まだ 風は強いけど

勝ち負けだけじゃ わからない
ホントの強さ 知るために
全力でぶつかって
凹んだら 深呼吸
信じる道 進め!!

鳴らせ 鳴らせ 心のファンファーレ
響け 届け 今、高らかに
負けたから 終わるんじゃない
きっときっと 始まるさ
君の胸の真ん中で

パラパ パラパ♪
パラパラパララ⋯♪
パラパ パラパ♪
パラパラパララ⋯♪
Whoever said
That it's strong not to cry?
Cry with all your might, then look, raise your head
I say goodbye to yesterday
When I ran from the things that hurt me
Though the wind is still strong

You can't know just by victory and defeat
In order to understand true strength
Attack with all you have
If you're overwhelmed, take a deep breath
And continue down the road you believe in!!

Ring it out, ring it out, the fanfare of your heart
Echo it out, send it out, loudly now
Losing isn't the end
I'm sure, I'm sure it's the beginning
In the very center of your heart

Palapa palapa♪
Palapala palala...♪
Palapa palapa♪
Palapala palala...♪

BW015 - BW025

Japanese English
みんなといるより ひとりがいいって
誰が言ったの??
きっと どこかで 君を思ってる
高い山ほど 見下ろす時には
気持ちいい
まだ 先は遠いけど

大きく大きく 背伸びして
青空に届け もう1センチ
イライラしても いい
クヨクヨしても いい
信じる道 行こう!!

鳴らせ 鳴らせ 心のファンファーレ
響け 届け 今、高らかに
負けたから 終わるんじゃない
きっときっと 始まるさ
君の胸の真ん中で

パラパ パラパ♪
パラパラパララ⋯♪
パラパ パラパ♪
パラパラパララ⋯♪
Whoever said
That being by yourself is better than being with everyone?
Surely, somewhere they're thinking of you
The higher the mountain, when you look down
The better it feels
Though the path ahead is still very long

You keep growing, bigger and bigger
One more centimeter until you reach the blue sky
It's okay to get nervous
It's okay to get worried
Let's go down the path we believe in!

Ring it out, ring it out, the fanfare of your heart
Echo it out, send it out, loudly now
Losing isn't the end
I'm sure, I'm sure it's the beginning
In the very center of your heart

Palapa palapa♪
Palapa palala...♪
Palapa palapa♪
Palapa palala...♪

Spoilers in the animation of the ending song

  • The capture of Ash's Tepig and Snivy.
  • Iris and Cilan becoming Ash's companions, as well as the appearing of their main Pokemon, Axew and Pansage.

Trivia

  • BW003 was the first episode to feature this Japanese ending, although BW001 and BW002 feature it on DVD releases.
  • Tepig and Oshawott's instruments bounce as if they are being played, but if one looks at it closely, it can be seen that they are actually not.
