battle gene Ｍ (Japanese: バトル遺伝子Ｍ) is a song by "ＭＴＭ" (mystery thunder mask) featuring "battle woman Ｍ" (Japanese: バトルウーマンＭ). The song, first revealed on Pokémon Smash!, is based on Cynthia's battle theme, which is featured on Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection, Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection, and Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection under the titles 戦闘！チャンピオン Battle! Champion, 戦闘! シロナ Battle! Shirona, and 戦闘! チャンピオン(シンオウ) Battle! Champion (Shin'ō), respectively.
ＭＴＭ is composed of Junichi Masuda on keyboards, Shinji Miyazaki on bass, and Hirokazu Tanaka on drums. All three have composed music for the Pokémon franchise. On the other hand, "battle woman Ｍ", singer of Battle Gene Ｍ, is Misaki Momose of Pokémon Smash!. The identities of the four, due to costumes, were not known until the opening ceremonies of the 2011 Pokémon World Championships, wherein the group performed the song live. The song was subsequently performed again in the Pokémon Smash! Everyone Sing! Can You Say the Pokémon? BW event in Roppongi Hills on September 4, 2011.
According to Junichi Masuda on his blog, the song came forth when Shoko Nakagawa of Pokémon Sunday came to Game Freak and requested a song from him.
