I gotta say i love lance/red theme. Whenever i hear that theme, you know....YOU know its the final battle.
There is only one correct answer here and yall know what it is
VS Cynthia
You walk into her room and hear the theme from that, which sounds like you are talking to someone you know but has a hugely suspenseful sound. Then you hear the first 2.5 seconds of the battle theme, and you know **** is about to go down. The drum line that finishes the intro and runs throughout the theme sets the tone for the rest of the music. The repeated melodies that rise and fall just reinforce that Cynthia is a graceful but powerful opponent. The percussion running in the background give the melodies variety. ITs just great. And nostalgia from my first game. That too.
2nd place goes to the hidden track in XY, a remix of Blue's theme. To put it as all the cool kids seem to be doing, that **** is fire.
Iris's theme is an easy 3rd. the electronic bars fit her so well, and the bells are a nice touch.
Stephen (and Wallace) and Lance's themes just are a little... intense. Like, they do fit a final battle, but they don't portray the importance of what is going down as much as Cynthia's. Then again, I think all of the Hoenn themes are a little heavy...
Diantha's has the exact opposite problem, it sounds too light and magical for a final boss. Diantha is just too... I dunno... She doesn't make a good Champion when thrown next to the others on this list.
And Alder's theme is just lazy. It's terrible. Like, just looping his overworld theme would be better (his overworld theme is awesome).
As for which one motivated me the most, I'll say say Cynthia>Iris>Blue=Lance/Red=Stephen/Wallace=Diantha>>>>>>>Alder
