Remember, "you don't get to be the champion of the pokemon league without know how to spam full restores"

Never thought I'd see the day. A champion playing his own theme...

The Iris part made my ears give birth to a guitar.

man, you SLAYED Cynthia and Iris' themes

That Alder to Iris transition tho...

My God that Iris performance

Here are the time-marks for each song! Blue: 0:00 Red/Lance: 1:10 Steven: 2:03 Cynthia: 3:13 Alder: 4:28 Iris: 5:27 Diantha: 7:07 Hopefully I helped you, please have a happy life!

I see everyone saying he slayed iris and Cynthia themes. which he did, they were fucking amazing. but i really think the unsung hero for this one was Steven/Wallace's theme. i mean come on that was fucking awesome.

Rank the Champion Themes! My personal list: _A Tier_ Iris Diantha Blue _B Tier_ Lance Cynthia Steven _Alder Tier_ Alder

I love the random shadow plush that finishes Cynthia's theme XD

5:26-7:05 gives me a solid reason to live.

Those shifts to Wallace/Steven and Iris songs were so badaaaaass.

2:03 time to believe in the peeko!!

The Steven theme sounds like the true Steven theme, cause steel...

Petition to make N’s final battle theme an actual champion theme. Oh also it is my firm belief that Diantha’s theme is way underrated.

Jonny's such a fucking monster. Ever since I found this guy on Newgrounds I knew I could expect greatness again and again. Nothing better than a hardcore guitarist and videogamer all in one.

It's medleys like this that help me realize what great tracks I've been sleeping on. Diantha's and Iris' are far better than I thought.

Came for Lance/Red, stayed for Iris.

YES YES YES YES YES YES I LOVE YOU

I've said for years that Diantha's theme absolutely kicks, and it feels tremendous to just get to groove out and enjoy it

At 5:26 all of my wildest dreams came true

Amazing job, dude! Every part of the cover was spot-on and captured the tension of the original perfectly, and the transitions were so seamless that they gave me goosebumps every time one happened. As for my personal ranking: 1. Blue (ultimate badass-theme) 2. Red/Lance (super-epic and intimidating all the way through) 3. Steven (makes sure you know you have a hardcore-battle ahead of you) 4. Cynthia (makes her feel superior to you all the way through) 5. Iris (captures the "upstart champion"-feeling perfectly ) 6. Alder (makes you feel like climbing a really tall mountain) 7. Diantha (captures the feeling of "light" perfectly)

Why the hell don't you have more subscribers!

DAMN. Dat Iris performance tho! This was fucking fantastic! I really wanted something like this to be a song in Smash Bros, but until that happens, I have this! Great stuff man! :D

6:10 Waddle Dee! what are you doing there!?

That intro into Steven and Wallace was just beautiful.

Great, now I need to clean my scree- uh- I mean, awesome stuff! Sick as hell, man! I never get tired of your stuff!!

Oh man that Diantha section

**SSB Announcer guy voice** Congratulations!

Jonny! you have to make a metal verson of Primal Dialga's theme from PkMn Mystery dungeon; Explorers of time. like, pretty pretty please with sugar and a cherry on top? :3

My favourite theme is Steven's and your metallized version is awesome. Great job!

6 years later. This really be the only good Iris battle cover out there

I. Freaking. Called. It!! I've never been so happy to be subscribed to a channel before.

"Where's Kukui's theme?!!!!! ~ Inevitable KZfaq Comment

Damn man, I cannot stop listening to this medley, well done! I think it's time for an "updated" medley, good sir! My champion themes personally ranked from best to least good (yet still awesome): Cynthia, Steven, Lance, Blue, Iris, Diantha, Alder

Who else hears a bouffalant cry in their head during Alder's theme?

Don’t really understand why Alder doesn’t get much respect. I really like him.

2:03 Oh yeah, that’s the stuff.

My Personal List Favorite Tier (S+): Iris S tier : Blue Lance/Red Steven/Wallace Cynthia Alder Diantha There is No A, B or C Tier Cause all of those Theme are Great, but iris is my personal favorite >:)

freakin shadow on the keys lol

The Cynthia performance alone was enough to make my jaw drop, definitely would love to see a full extended version one day. Amazing job!

That Iris intro give me goosebumps.

This medley is too powerful! My body wasn't ready!!!

Okay. A full synopsis, from beginning to end. Blue: Always good to start off with the theme that started it all. It mirrors your other cover of it, and somehow makes it sound even better. Lance: Honestly, this part is my least favorite of the whole medley, but don't get me wrong, it's still fucking EPIC. I just feel it lacks the "oomph" the other portions had. Still a kick-ass cover, though! Steven (and Wallace): You made me fall in love with this theme. I will admit, neither the original or OR/AS versions really interested me, but your take on it brought to light a new appreciation for this theme. Cynthia: Of COURSE this one would be badass, considering not only was it badass to begin with, but it's YOU who's covering it! It really captures the spirit of the original, and then adds more power to it. Alder: I will admit, I had not heard Alder's theme before this, but whatever it was, you certainly did it more justice than I would have thought. It is actually an interesting theme, now that I think about it. Iris: As SOON as this started, I started crying. Crying tears of absolute and pure bliss, mind you. This is my favorite part of the medley, as I have always taken a liking to Iris' theme, and this cover only made me fall in love with it that much more. Diantha: You somehow managed to make Diantha's theme even more epic, despite her being a rather weak Champion compared to her predecessors. It is quite amazing, though, and this portion was also well done. Overall, this cover is an absolute BEAST. I am glad to bear witness to this greatness.

you absolutely SHREDDED Iris's theme

Amazing as always; From beginning to end, including the legendary acoustic covers.

I just shed a tear over how amazing this was. I never realised how great all of the Champion themes were, and it just bring home years worth of nostalgia

My All Time favorite Champion theme has to be Iris Theme, its just amazing. I will always have it as my favorite Champion Theme of all time. Also I have some nostalgia for it, she was the first champion I’ve ever beaten. I love Iris as a character and as a final challenge.

Eccovi i tempi per i singoli temi! - 0:00 Vs Blu Theme 1:12 Vs Lance/Rosso Theme 2:03 Vs Rocco Theme 3:13 Vs Camilla Theme 4:30 Vs Nardo Theme 5:28 Vs Iris Theme 7:07 Vs Diantha Theme - Fine a 9:14 - not fully -

I don't normally make these kinds of requests, but you've quickly become my favorite video game fan musician, and I would love to hear your take on the Team Aqua/Magma Leader theme.

I fucking MELTED when I heard that transition to Iris’ theme. GODLIKE.

Omg I get so pumped whenever I hear Champion Blue’s Theme it’s my favorite of them all but all are pretty hype altogether!

I absolutely LOVE the ga-metal Red theme you did in this video!

Nicely done. If I had to go champion themes in order from Most to least liked, my list would be this Steven Cynthia Diantha Blue Lance Iris Alder I'd love to hear more Pokemon medleys some time in the future if you don't mind doing another one at some point.

AHHHHHH STEVENS THEME IS SO GOOD ON GUITAR

Years later, just can't stop listening to this medley. While the whole thing is amazing, what absolutely kills me is the transition to Iris's theme; it's been nothing but badass all the way through, but after the steady buildup of Alder's lower key theme there's nothing like the burst of absolute JOY that represents a kid who's just fucking delighted to be here. It's such a pure explosion of glee from that guitar, you nailed it.

Damn That transition from Iris to Diantha was awesome

steve/wallace theme ♥___♥

I love how Carne's theme is the longest. Thank you for that - it's my favorite one

"Ha-ha-ha! Looks like you’re never going to beat me, no matter how hard you try!" -Blue, Pokémon Origins, Episode 4, Charizard.

lol shadow going ape shit on piano!

I appreciate the detail of Alder being hidden behind the other champs on the thumbnail. I get the feeling people don’t really like him

This is freaking epic, keep making awesome songs man!

Holy shit!!! this cover is so damn EPIC!!! I really enjoy your covers!

That medley is amazing! Definetly some of your best work. I FREAKING LOVE YOU, MAN!!!!! MARRY ME!!!!!!!!!!!

AWESOME! Also Congrats. This is usually my go to channel when I am playing some Smash bros. and want to hear some remixes while playing.

Can I just say that you are amazing in every sense of the word? You really outdid yourself with this one...and the last one....and the one before that...and so on

This is my favorite thing from you by far, man. You KILLED it!

2:03 EARGASM

I lol'd at the bit with the Shadow plush playing the piano.

The transitions are really smooth i love it

Amazing does not even begin to describe! Thank you so much for fantastic track!

Diantha's theme is just the perfect ending to this. She may have been a terrible champion, but she had an amazing theme. Too bad she never lasted long enough for me to hear the entirety of it.

Amazing medley but come on Cynthia has a kick ass piano solo before you battle her.

dude, i cant stop to listen this!

I love your music, I've played pokemon since day 1, I was excited to recognize every single note. Made my day brother, thanks for making writing my final paper for English easier.

i think its safe to say we need full versions of all of these :v

Why does everyone hate Alder :(

I cried tears of joy listening to this and humming along to the melodies as well. Was quite fun here have a like.

This has always been my favorite out of all of your videos. Hopefully one day we can get a updated version with the other two champ themes.

Shit.. I lost control of myself at ruby/sapphire champion theme

Maaaan I’d love a remake of this updated for the new champions

this is just awesome, man. seriously, great job

Yet another masterpiece. Nice work! :D

5:26 I need an individual cover of this

Hey Jonny. I found you a few days ago when I was searching up the Masked Dedede theme and I've loved listening to your music. Just wanted to say that you're awesome. Keep being awesome. You've earned a sub!

You deserve millions of subscribers. Every cover I listen to of yours is GOLD
