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!
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

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.
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

"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

Yes~

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?

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
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.

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.

Technically Lance was already done.
Did he do cynthia
Don't force Juno.

its so damn good i couldn't make any meme references...
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
I now hear Steven with Juno's voice. Thank you!

Is it wrong that I had an easier time fighting Cynthia's garchomp than Steven's mega metagross?

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 killed his metagross with rock smash
Did you not have a mega swampert with earthquake?
0:53 "I want, to know, how far you came" syncs perfectly with Mc mega evolving his Sceptile. It goes hard
Man what an awesome Champion. Almost forgot how epic the remix from Ultimate was.

I'm looking forward to Wally's theme too!!(Your covers are amazing!!!)

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.
great song and AMAZING artwork.
What I learned from the MOTI’s behind the lyrics series that you are a kind man!1!1!
Okay, i'm just going to say it, Steven is the best champion fight me.
Yes, he is.
And thats your opinion and i respect it
Best Champion with the Best Theme
Change my mind
I can’t because I agree with you
I agree.
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
if you made "fought the titans who appeared" to be not plural and change him saying hoenn to galar this would fit the leon fight
YEAH, MORE POKÉMON! Beautiful cover, now I imagine whenever this plays, lol
AWESOME!!~
All I can say is WOOOO!!
* hue hue HUE *
heck yeah
Great work
finally! this is my favorite pokemon song, good to see it's got lyrics now.
Steven Stone needs to be in Pokemon Journeys!
With most of these champions returning from Cynthia and Lance i hope so too
Awesome video
Dude this is awesome!!!
I think i can name a song :D
Nerves of Steel
