Ok so funny thing about this fight. I was out or revives and only had a shiny metagross and he was down to his similarly leveled metagros. It took about an hour with both of us doing minuscule amounts of damage. Imagine my rage when he used a full restore.
I fought him with only Groudon because all my other Pokemon died to the Elite 4. And I had no revives. Lots of lemonade and a Leppa berry will get you far kids.
I love how the song incorporates Steven's general mood and beliefs, with him singing about your accomplishments while incorporating various pokemon thematics: Ancient Power (like the move), Ever Grand (Ever Grande City, the city right before Victory Road and the E4), Desolate Land, Primordial Sea (Primal Groudon and Kyogre's abilities), "It's time to prove that you've got nerves of steel" (most likely referring to one of Steven's primary types with Steel, and Metagross being part Steel), probably others I missed.
@@darealzizzyplayz2632 nah it shows that a Champion can use one type and still be a challenge same as iris in Black and white 2 who WAS A leader in White if you think Steven is only gym leader level because hes a steel specalist then you haven't fought peak steven from Emerald where Wallace who was a gym leader in Ruby and Sapphire and uses ONLY Water types as someone who has thought R/S/E Steven and ORAS Steven hes not easy neither is Champion Wallace in emerald Main type Champions dont = easy fight
The art is dynamic with the movement of Steven's suit and Metagross behind him, and the lyrics are powerful and catchy just like Leon's - but what really gets me here is your voice range. From Steven's deep baritone/bass notes to the high ones, the contrast makes them sound all the better!
I have to love junos music. the lyrics fit perfectly with the music and have a powerful effect. If this is what he's capable of following the music, imagine what he can do if he creates his own.
Godly work! I just finished my Omega Ruby Hardcore Nuzlocke and felt that this was proving myself to Steven in that fight, with that epic music playing in the back
I like the lyrics and all, but Steven has to have my least favorite champion theme in the series. To be fair, Hoen itself doesn't have that great of a track, so yeah.
@@An_Account1 The music is obnoxious and unremarkable, the remakes music is alright. Nothing to write home about but palatable. The original games, however, have a droning, unpleasant trumpet motif that grades on the ears. Besides, we all know gen 2 has the best music.
@@Jesterman The trumpets, which a lot of people love, are annoying, but 8-bit soundtracks are amazing? This comment is more obnoxious than what your claiming Gen 3's soundtrack is. But gen 2 does have a pretty good soundtrack.
@@An_Account1 The difference is that Johtos 8-bit chip track blend perfectly with the song itself, while Hoens tracks are bogged down by the low, droning noises of that damned trumpet. Also as I said, the music just isn't very memorable in general. All of the battle themes are interchangeable with eachother. It looks like we've found ourselves a Hoen apologist, folks!
@@wockytalkie8352 from a gameplay perspective:ralts was always a 3-stage line with both genders, and Nintendo just couldn't (or wouldn't) remove the code to let male kirlia become gardevoir
What the fridge Juno I never knew you uploaded your stuff at midnight! The only reason I was able to find out was cuz I went to bed at the wrong time! Anyway this cover is super good
I woke up and immediately saw this in my subscription feed, I'm going on a road trip at 8o clock to go see my grandparents for spring break and this song is helping me get ready. As always thank you Juno for the absolutely bopping music, I love you guy's work.
(0:42) best part! Also I like how you and the man on the internet crew have the champions say something about being strong with your team and Pokémon overall
Ok I usually rank this as the 3rd best champion theme, but damn, your lyrics and vocals really elevate even the base version, ESPECIALLY the part from 0:43 to 1:03 and again near the end If anyone’s curious as to the 2 I rank over it, it’s Cynthia at #1 obviously, then Diantha at #2
Juno you are such a hard worker, even after all the rushing in the PM:TOK songs, you didn’t listen and released absolute bangers. You are genuinely one of the coolest people I know. Keep up the good work and don’t listen to the hate.
Damn I still remember all the trouble that mega Metagross gave me as a child which is understandable when your only good Pokémon is a Blaziken which easily dies to a zen headbutt
OH YEAH BABY MORE ORAS, I WAS EXCITED WITH BOTH YOYR AND ALEX'S INTERPRETATION OF ZINNIA'S THEME, I NEVER EXPECTED ANOTHER ONE BUT THIS IS AMAZING! THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST POKEMON-RELATED SONGS SO FAR!
I wasn't sure what you could really do here, but you paid the scene respect! ORAS stands as my favorite pair of games, and its nice to see respect to the remakes. P.S. Played so much I didn't even realize it was Steven's theme, just that it was from this game XD

Juno, I have a question about one of the lyrics. "Desolate Land, Primordial Sea, were all of Hoenn's apogee" I find this word choice interesting because the definition of an apogee is an apex, the top of something, and I would consider Groudon/Kyogre's world-ending weather to be a serious low point for Hoenn. I'm curious what your thought process behind that word choice was.
I thought Juno was on break. I mean, not that I’m complaining, but, I feel like her deserves it after everything going on with Origami King, he deserves a break.

"Your valor carried you all this way" being a reference to team Valor from Pokemon GO possibly?
"as the iron bells peal"
Silver eyes and Cobalt sky possibly.
Maybe him saying ‘forged in fire’ is another reference to steel being his primary type
other references to steel
“You turned your **silver** eyes”
“Up to the **cobalt** sky
Listening to Pokemon music with lyrics at midnight. Feelin good.
Yes~

Your Profile Picture makes the coment better

Lol same
aka "Remember when Metagross could grow a goatee?"
hi
World war 3 flashbacks comiñg
As a long time Metagross enjoyer, I felt that
Back when kanghskahn and mawile were considered Uber tier ahh those were the times
@Rj Salas back to the times where blazeakin never had speed boost
I love the references to different metals (iron, cobalt, steel, etc.) as Steven is technically a steel type specialist.
He should be a steel type gym leader not the champion
Not is type rock?
@@darealzizzyplayz2632 nah it shows that a Champion can use one type and still be a challenge same as iris in Black and white 2 who WAS A leader in White if you think Steven is only gym leader level because hes a steel specalist then you haven't fought peak steven from Emerald where Wallace who was a gym leader in Ruby and Sapphire and uses ONLY Water types as someone who has thought R/S/E Steven and ORAS Steven hes not easy neither is Champion Wallace in emerald Main type Champions dont = easy fight
@@Extravagantional nope Stevens main type is Steel he uses 3 of them ones Aggron another is his metagross
no, he probably mineral pokemon specialist

Man the nostalgia when I did a blind nuzlocke of this game
Dallas: OH SHIT CLOAKER!
Good a blind nuzlock good bloody luck with bearly high enough leveled to be still underleveled pokemon
Words cannot describe the satisfaction I had when my Flygon defeated Mega Metagross after barely tanking a Giga Impact.
Did you win
wait how do you do a nuzlocke with the pokedex thingy
As someone who grew up with ORAS, this means a lot to me
same here
Man I forgot how much of a banger this is
Personally, Juno reminds me a lot of Steven Stone: Both are great and always badass despite how bad things are getting
Juno? Yes. Steven? No.
@@mr.pringlz8784 What do you have against Steven? Juno literally made this song appreciating him.
@@komarunaegi7460 I dunno, the fact that he attempted genocide?
@@mr.pringlz8784 when did he do that
@@mr.pringlz8784 are you confusing him with Lysandre
I wonder what Juno’s crazed “fans” are going to scream about now that the Legion of Stationary is finished
The Vellumentals, which are 4 battles of equal importance, and the Sumo Bros, which use the same song as Handaconda and are far less memorable.

So this is what my Gardevoir hears in his dreams
Anyone who doesn't know that gardevoir can be male : Ye that wou- wait what HIS dreams?

You know, that’s something I always found confusing: why are there male and female Gardevoirs, but only male Gallades?

The light on Steven’s face really confused when I looked at the thumbnail lol

Nice job!
I w a a a a s going to go to sleep
Since it's 3 am for me
BUT NEVERMIND I must listen to this ^^ so far it's sounding really cool!
What the fridge Juno I never knew you uploaded your stuff at midnight!
The only reason I was able to find out was cuz I went to bed at the wrong time!
Anyway this cover is super good
This is so good! This is sounds so much like something Steven would sing. Great job, Juno!
Okay this is the canon Steven voice
This is an instant classic, now all that's left is lance, kukui, iris, alder, and diantha
Technically Lance was already done.
Did he do cynthia
Don't force Juno.

I now hear Steven with Juno's voice. Thank you!
Juno's voice really fits with Steven
YOOOO i wasn’t expecting this, but this was a pleasant surprise! steven stone is my favourite champion, great job on this video juno :D
I remember this fight, It was pretty easy with my level 100 sceptile
Same
Primal Groudon
Why was it level 100
That sounds like your fault rather than the game’s fault
Mine was legendary, I had half of Groudon left aginst his Skarmory, and SOMEHOW I won
@@xiesie_xiesie "Somehow" Like Groudon is a beast, ground type and with sun. Like it would be pretty sad to lose against Steven if you have Groudon
Finally I have been waiting for this since Cynthia
He didn't do Cynthia
Ok I usually rank this as the 3rd best champion theme, but damn, your lyrics and vocals really elevate even the base version, ESPECIALLY the part from 0:43 to 1:03 and again near the end

Damn I still remember all the trouble that mega Metagross gave me as a child which is understandable when your only good Pokémon is a Blaziken which easily dies to a zen headbutt
I can remember it being easy with my level 61 mega swampert
@@NoGoodNames0 yeah I believe you after all Mega Swampert is really bulky and not weak to any of mega Metagross attacks
That Cradily is also very difficult

I'v been waiting all year to listen to this
I can't wait thanks your amazing it's
Like a movie 🎥 it's beautiful
That thumbnail is GORGEOUS!! Spectacular lighting and shadows! 😍👏👏👏

I really hope we get iris soon.
I love pokemon. I love juno songs. PERFECT MATCHUP
Dang the memories I had playing this game with my brother just all came back to me, pokemon ORAS was such an amazing experience
Ah yes, a true classic. Although when thinking of this gen I always think of pokemon colosseum. man that was a jewel
0:53 "I want, to know, how far you came" syncs perfectly with Mc mega evolving his Sceptile. It goes hard
OH YEAH BABY MORE ORAS, I WAS EXCITED WITH BOTH YOYR AND ALEX'S INTERPRETATION OF ZINNIA'S THEME, I NEVER EXPECTED ANOTHER ONE BUT THIS IS AMAZING! THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST POKEMON-RELATED SONGS SO FAR!
Is it wrong that I had an easier time fighting Cynthia's garchomp than Steven's mega metagross?
That thing is a monster...
Me: I have my complete team with a lot of health and he only has a metagross, this should be easy.
Steven and metagross: *N O*
I mean, Metagross doesn't have a huge weakness to a type, so nah. That Mega Metagross is an absolute pain to fight
*WHY DOESN'T IT BURN*
*I proceed to die*
i killed his metagross with rock smash
Did you not have a mega swampert with earthquake?

Best Champion with the Best Theme
Change my mind
I can’t because I agree with you
I agree.
a blessing to my soul and ears 🤲❤
steven has more rings than johnny depp.
For a long time, Steven was my favorite Champion in the franchise. Yes, I like him more than Cynthia. I'm weird like that.
That isn't weird at all.

Yes, he is.
And thats your opinion and i respect it
I had forgot how much this slaps. Time to play ORAS again
Juno, I have a question about one of the lyrics. "Desolate Land, Primordial Sea, were all of Hoenn's apogee" I find this word choice interesting because the definition of an apogee is an apex, the top of something, and I would consider Groudon/Kyogre's world-ending weather to be a serious low point for Hoenn. I'm curious what your thought process behind that word choice was.
1:07 Wrong show bud, RWBY Was on the last left
Awesome Job Juno!
Also Was That A Pokémon Go Reference At The End?
Damm the shading in the art is beautifull
Steven is my favorite champion so I enjoyed this
Another great Pokémon battle theme covered by Juno! I wonder which one he'll do next?
Eturnatus?
Dude this is awesome!!!
Great work
OR/AS and Ultimate crossover... AWESOME!
heck yeah
I'd be really interested in seeing how you actually write these lyrics, because they're always amazing
@Ok I have been enlightened. Thank you
finally! this is my favorite pokemon song, good to see it's got lyrics now.
Wow Nostalgia is slapping me
I thought Juno was on break. I mean, not that I’m complaining, but, I feel like her deserves it after everything going on with Origami King, he deserves a break.
I think he had the songs from Gun to Olly already finished before going on break.
All I can say is WOOOO!!
AWESOME!!~
This was amazing! Though you seem to have over leveled your Pokémon
He's also fighting a Mega Metagross with a Mega Sceptile, though, so I think that kind of non-optimal tactic makes up for it.
So I got this idea,The next 5 Pokémon games after Sinnoh remakes are just Gen 3 remakes
Who’s with me?
Great idea.
Nope
