Quotes

Before battle:
"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokemon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokemon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"

During battle:
"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"

"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"

When defeated:
"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!

Trivia

Cynthia is the first female NPC champion, and the first NPC champion since Blue to not have a type theme.
