Battle! Champion Cynthia [METAL] Pokémon Diamond & Pearl

[@FamilyJules7X]

You'll have to provide the sound effects of getting bodied by Garchomp yourself for the full effect. Happy to finally play this one for you guys! Hope you enjoy! As always the full tab to this cover is available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon and the MP3s and uncompressed WAV is available to my Gold Level supporters! Thank you for your support! 😊

It was never the Garchomp for me, it was the damn Lucario.

Only sound effects I can hear are screams and "Om Noms"... #LandShark

This is what Cynthia's theme sounded like in my head when I accidentally wandered into the wrong house in Undella town for the first time

"Oh hey, I wonder what is in this house!" - Everyone before getting bodied by a very familiar garchomp.

[@Hornswroggle]

I said it before - I'll say it again: Cynthia is the strongest Pokemon Champion to ever exist. Period.

[@tronman64]

Welp with the remakes she's officially the strongest trainer period now officially.

[@stevenparkin9550]

I don't think anyone will argue

[@Dru_Stephan]

Even prior to the remakes she was considered the strongest, and rightfully so.

[@Blahydra]

Between getting bodied by garchomp (great, rough skin in the remakes, why not), serene grace togekiss, milotic and generally being 70+ in the levels, I get the feeling someone felt like playing competitive and accidentally made some of their mon into the champs team. She really is the strongest champ ever.

[@PhantomAkiraP5]

Lucas would like a word with you

[@leramieuchihanewgamingorde6655]

The last thing you hear as a Pokemon Trainer in Sinnoh is this song, everything you know and love incinerated by a particular Garchomp.

[@alexursu4403]

With BDSP, ANY of her pokemon can make everything you love commit "I don't feel so good".

[@BardockSkywalker]

Cynthia's Garchomp: I am the black void, i am the cold earth, i am the bloodstained sword! With Blades in arms, shall i reap the foolish challengers that dare cross my path & crush them with the earthquakes of destruction! *I am Garchomp! The end has come!*

[@alexursu4403]

@@BardockSkywalker I thought that you were trying to do something akin to an oath of a DC Lantern corp ( maybe red ), but it still holds true if you can't outspeed it and hit it with a powerful ice move.

[@SmileyAlwaysZ28]

Pokémon Diamond was my first pokémon game I ever owned and played, so hearing my favorite champions battle theme get a metal cover from FamilyJules is not only amazing, but also nostalgic.

The sounds of true terror. Loving the stuff you've been putting out, especially recently, dude, keep it up!

[@commandermercury6654]

Ah yes. The one song that can strike fear into the heart of an entire fan base.

[@dillanmccants4642]

This is what I imagined Cynthia’s theme being if she appeared in sword and sheild

[@thesymbiotenation.4552]

Move out, Leon.... Cynthia and her Demon Garchomp are here

[@KyhronLuna]

The Black/White version of her theme is absolute fire if you've never heard it

[@ZephHaathun]

No piano of intimidation, straight to "Hi, welcome to a hell of a battle, you woefully unprepared amateur."

[@positivelink6961]

This song gives me chills down my spine. Every single time. This cover more than lives up to that. Well done Jules!

[@TheAdvertisement]

I just love how sassy yet menacing that melody sounds, especially on guitar. It's got this smug, overpowering and almost Egyptian feeling to it that just tells you you're facing a force of nature.

[@SuperSkull74]

Whaaaaaat ?! I'm fighting cynthia right now and i was thinking you would make a perfect metal remix ! you're a genius.. thank's 🤘

[@acecondor5716]

[@eduardogarcia9019]

Absolutely fantastic 👍

I love this region of Pokemon and this theme is one of the best ones. I thought it couldn't get better but you made it even more epic. Now I'm even more excited for the new remake, well done!

[@Ash-kyun]

Y'know I was just listening to Cynthia's champion theme on a loop for the last couple of days because it's so great and all I was wondering was how would a rock/metal version of the theme sounded like because it would amazing. THIS... this is how I envisioned such a cover to be performed. The original may be legendary and untouchable with how nostalgic it is. But damn does this cover come close.

[@Kanbei11]

RichaadEB does a good cover of this theme too

[@knvs2931]

Never thought Speed Demon Garchomp's theme would sound this epic metalized. Awesome job!

[@thepanlanman998]

I think this perfectly displays what nintendo tried to do, but couldn't because of the limitations of the ds's audio capabilities. Please, my god, never stop doing music you actual legend.

Favorite game cover I've seen in awhile and that is saying a lot as Geoff plays guitar is killing it

[@BJGvideos]

(PLA spoilers) "How do we make our new villain strike fear into the hearts of jaded longtime players?" "We give him Cynthia's team." "Hm, that's a start, but I feel like people will know how to counter her team by now, especially with the introduction of fairy types. How do we really hit them in the gut?" "We play Cynthia's theme." "Holy shit." "Also we make him look exactly like Cynthia and imply they're related." "Good god, slow down!"

[@theoneguy420]

Garchomp joined the Obstagoon and Toxtricity band from Galar. This is awesome!

[@oops3798]

This goes harder than the fight! The only thing it needs is some low health beeping noises...

[@braidonsaelens5174]

Wonderful work Jules :D One of my best memories as a kid was a really stupid strategy I used to beat Garchomp without an ice type or a super fast pokemon. I used my Rampardos with Focus Sash and Avalanche. Beating that fight after so long felt so good.

[@psachickennugget8617]

[@lumensmith2001]

The crazy amount of distortion sounds so good I’m this, like geez it’s fits Cynthia so well and sounds both mysterious and intense. There are some weird alterations like the delayed intro I don’t quite understand, but for the most part the alterations made really for guitar. Another thing I thought was brilliant was the addition of the tap notes in the eerie chord that transitions from the main verse into the bass solo, it’s such a brilliant addition and really gives me distortion world vibes. Edit: Forgot to mention, the whammy dives were fantastic. They don’t sound quite right and it just adds to the atmosphere, it’s so tense.

[@esper212]

AHHHHH YES THIS IS THE BEST SONG FROM POKÉMON AND I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE DOING THIS

[@mattmiller1404]

Gather around grandchildren 👴 and let me tell you a tale of the trauma that accompanies this amazing song. It is said, that if you slow it down, the first 7 secs actually translates to, “let me show you exactly where you f*cked up.” It takes me back to the 2nd champion fight with Cynthia (in BDSP)…where I blindly (and foolishly) ran full speed into the E4 rematches (who also apparently have received super saiyan blue levels of power) and thought my ‘save right before’ technique would eventually pay off…but instead what ensued were FIVE STRAIGHT dreadful losses…filled with both rage, and amazement. Eventually I had to straight up take the L and fight all way through the E4 AGAIN, which I hadn’t done since literally Gen 1. My team who had been absolutely WRECKING any and everyone up to this point, was all of a sudden reduced to what felt like pre-evolved Pokemon. I couldn’t do anything but run with my tail between my legs because I was just flat out not in her league. No amount of items could save me from the dog walking I was receiving from that beautiful demon 🥴 And no, I chose not to watch any playthroughs of this game, to better preserve my own opinion about the controversial remake. This cover does this memory every bit of justice and I LOVE it. Everyone: “Literally nobody asked. Thanks for nothing.”

[@Level-Mind]

This is how badass it sounded in our heads back then. :D

[@lefront3379]

Finally!! I love it!!

[@Mr_Ozone]

Even with a full team of low to high lvl 60's it still took me like 5 tries and even then it was still last mon on the wire, wasn't even her platinum team either, this fight's no joke! This song's giving me ptsd just listening to it!

[@kotaro_navi]

It's so good! Very good!

@@smashbounduk3241 it didn't specify the characters. It just said Jules Conroy and Adriana Figueroa under the Voiceovers section.
