Pokémon Arrangements!
Battle! Champion (from Gold & Silver)
Dated April 11th, 2022. Used a wind quintet preset for this one, as I just kinda jumped at this one with less of a "I wish I had this theme with [x] instruments" mindset and more of a "I really, REALLY want to work on Red's theme from Gen 2" mindset. I also could've sworn it was slower and more foreboding, but guess I was wrong... pretty proud of it, though!
I reworked it on December 17th, 2022 on MuseScore 4. The newer instruments gave it this strangely softer, quieter feel, but I'm not complaining.

And while not the version I based it from, I also leave the HeartGold & SoulSilver version, as it's basically one of my favorite Pokémon battle themes:
Battle! Johto Gym Leader (from Gold & Silver)
Dated April 12th, 2022. Also with the wind quintet, but here I feel it came out a bit better. Maybe still a bit too soft...
Also reworked it on December 17th, 2022 on MuseScore 4. Like with the Champion theme, it turned out a bit too delicate for a battle theme.
Original:
Battle! Rival (from Gold & Silver)
Dated April 14th, 2022. Yet another for the wind quintet gang! While it has been a while since I've made these, this was likely the one I REALLY enjoyed. It's totally not obvious who's my favorite Pokémon character, no sir!
It also got reworked on December 17th, 2022 on MuseScore 4 with the same "airy" problem, though I feel this one worked slightly better.

And like with the Champion theme, I also offer the HeartGold & SoulSilver version. Such a banger:
