− | + | She first met [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]] at Eterna City. She recognized them as Rowan's latest Pokédex-bearing trainer and introduced herself to them as well as giving them HM 01: Cut and, in ''Platinum'', a [[Togepi]] egg. When the trainer meets her by the Verity Lakefront after defeating [[Crasher Wake]], she speaks to them about the legendary mirage Pokémon and gives them a SecretPotion for the [[Psyduck]]s on Route 210, additionally asking Lucas/Dawn to deliver an Old Charm to her grandmother as a favor. Reminiscing on her own adventures, she then expressed her wish that Lucas/Dawn would get to meet all types of Pokémon and learn the secrets of the mirage Pokémon. | |
− | + | Cynthia next appeared to Lucas/Dawn at Hearthome City after they completed the gym challenge there, apparently having trouble tracking them down, in order to thank them for completing the favor for her. She mused about how she had initially believed that Team Galactic were just eccentric freaks but since then have come to think they may pose some real threat. Cynthia then referred Lucas/Dawn to Canalave City's library and went off on her way. In ''Platinum'', Cynthia would also come to Lucas/Dawn and Mt. Coronet once [[Cyrus (Pokemon)|Cyrus]] summons [[Giratina]] and accompanies him into the Distortion World. After Lucas/Dawn faced Giratina, Cynthia expressed believing that was destined but still wishing that she could have been the one to face Giratina. She also professed the importance of the human spirit to Cyrus, although the message did not reach him. | |
− | In | + | In all three versions Lucas/Dawn met her next at the Pokémon League HQ, when they battled her for the championship. She thanked them for Mt. Coronet and noted they had overcome personal weaknesses and various challenges to get so far, and Cynthia could feel the trainer's learned power emanating from them. Cynthia was defeated, at which point she praised the trainer's passion and calculated coolness, believing that they could overcome anything. After a brief reunion with Professor Rowan, Cynthia led Lucas/Dawn to be registered in the Hall of Fame as the new champion of Sinnoh. |
− | In '' | + | In ''Platinum'', Cynthia would then appear before Lucas/Dawn at the Celestic Ruins and explain her long-winded theory about an alternative explanation of the theory that the cave painting that was apparently about [[Uxie]], [[Mesprit]] and [[Azelf]] summoning either Dialga or Palkia at the Spear Pillar, thinking that the painting instead involved Dialga, Palkia and [[Giratina]] summoning another more powerful Pokémon- the original Pokémon (later to be known as [[Arceus]]). Cynthia would also visit the player's villa on random days or after the player purchases a piano. |

As a playable sync pair, Cynthia and her Garchomp could be recruited at random through the game's Sync Pair Scout feature during limited time periods. There was also a [[Sygna Suit]] variant of Cynthia with [[Kommo-o]] that was also available during limited time periods.

Within the Main Story, Cynthia first appeared in Chapter 1, where she and [[Nate/Rosa|Rosa]] were being hassled by some locals who wanted a battle even though Cynthia's Pokémon needed to rest. [[Scottie/Bettie]] was able to take care of them for her, which earned her gratitude. She was later shown to have made it to the finals of the [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament, and she appeared in Chapter 21, where she apprehended the majority of the [[Team Break]] members stationed in one location while others were distracted by Scottie/Bettie's team and [[Calem/Serena|Calem]]. At the end of Chapter 25, it was revealed that Cynthia would be Scottie/Bettie's first opponent in the quarterfinals. The battle took place in Chapter 27, where it was shown that her teammates were [[Caitlin]] and [[Darach]]. Cynthia decided to use her Sygna Suit and Kommo-o for the battle, even though she had not used either for battle yet. She also motivated Caitlin for the battle by acknowledging her as a rival and taking her on in a one-on-one battle. During the quarterfinals battle, Cynthia's team was defeated by Scottie/Bettie, and Cynthia accepted her defeat gracefully. | Within the Main Story, Cynthia first appeared in Chapter 1, where she and [[Nate/Rosa|Rosa]] were being hassled by some locals who wanted a battle even though Cynthia's Pokémon needed to rest.

− | *Cynthia has | + | *Cynthia has appeared in several episodes of the ''Pokémon'' anime, startig in the Sinnoh-based series. She was shown defeating Paul with ease in one episode and helping to stop Team Galactic from stealing the Lustrous Orb in another episode. Cynthia also helped in the big battle against Team Galactic later on. She has also been seen in smaller appearances battling Elite Four members such as [[Aaron]], [[Lucian]] and [[Flint (Pokemon)|Flint]]. One of her last full appearances during the Sinnoh episodes was when she was shown as one of the people overseeing the Sinnoh Conference. Cynthia has also made cameo appearances in the opening/closing credits of the twelfth and thirteen anime movies, being seen battling [[Palmer]] in one instance. She later appeared in several episodes of the Unova-based series, where she was shown to be staying at a villa as in the games. She had an exhibition match against Caitlin for the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup, which ended in a draw, and she watched the tournament's other battles unfold. She also battled [[Iris]] and gave her advice during the tournament. |
+ | **In the ''Pokémon'' anime movie "I Choose You!", which is set outside of the anime's normal continuity, one of Ash's traveling companions is a girl named Verity, who is Cynthia's daughter. Cynthia herself is only seen in a photograph. | ||
*Cynthia began appearing in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga during the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc, where her actions were more directly tied to stopping Team Galactic. She first showed up at Eterna City to investigate Rad Rickshaw's disappearance and witnessed a training session of Dia, Pearl and Platina, and she gave Platina some advice. Soon afterwards, Cynthia was able to save Rad Rickshaw using primarily her own Pokémon while the other trainers watched. She was later called by Mr. Backlot to investigate missing Psyduck, which led her to travel to Route 210 on bicycle while letting Dia, Pearl and Platina ride on her Garchomp due to running into them again. She gave the Psyduck the SecretPotion, met with her grandmother and left them with her Garchomp while she returned the Psyduck to their owners. Cynthia notably traveled to Team Galactic's headquarters in this version and tried to battle [[Cyrus (Pokemon)|Cyrus]] herself, but she was defeated. She and Platina rode to Spear Pillar on her Garchomp, where they witnessed and took part in the arc's final battles. | *Cynthia began appearing in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga during the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc, where her actions were more directly tied to stopping Team Galactic.

− | * | + | *Although she originally appeared to be a native of Sinnoh (Celestic in particular), in ''Platinum'' she claims that the location of her home as well as its region is a secret. This implies she is actually not from Sinnoh, and her having to stay at someone else's villa in [[Unova]] implies that is not her home region either. |
*She is notable as the second champion character to note the similarity between player characters, with [[Steven Stone]] having made a similar yet vaguer statement about [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver''. | *She is notable as the second champion character to note the similarity between player characters, with [[Steven Stone]] having made a similar yet vaguer statement about [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver''. | ||
