She gives the player the SecretPotion to get past the Psyduck group on Route 210 to get to Celestic Town. She then gives the player the Old Charm to give to her grandmother. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region.

Eterna City

"Oh, is that a Pokédex? You must be helping Professor Rowan? What's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Try using this. It should help you on your way. Remember, the hidden move Cut can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer!"

Valor Lakefront

"Oh , hello , long time no see! How is your Pokédex filling up? I came to research the folklore about the lake, but... Well, it doesn't appear as if the lake is open to the public now. Have you heard the folklore about it? They say there is an island inside the lake. And inside that island is a mirage of a Pokémon . No one must enter the chamber of that Pokémon... Oh that's right! i had to talk to you about something else... He's your friend? He's more impatient than energetic, isn't he? So, getting back to what i started saying earlier... Have you seen the group of Psyduck on Route 210 ?

No: " You haven't seen them? By the café on Route 210.

Yes: "Yes that's right. By the café on Route 210. There is a group of Psyduck huddled with their heads in their, uh, hands...? Anyway, what you should do is use medicine on the Psyduck. You're working on a Pokédex, so it would be worthwhile for you. I went on a big adventure with a Pokédex when I was younger. I hope you meet every kind of Pokémon there is to see. It may help you with the secret of the mirage Pokémon. See you later!

Route 210

"Oh, good. You used the SecretPotion I gave you. Psyduck are known to suffer from chronic headaches. But no one's been able to figure out what triggers the headaches. Oh yes! Can I ask you a big favor? I want to deliver this Old Charm to my grandma in Celestic Town. I know there are some rare Pokémon between here and Celestic Town, so it will be worth your while to go.

No:

Yes: " My grandma has this sort of bossy atmosphere about her. I think you'll recognize her right away. Yes, I'm sure you will. She's the elder of Celestic Town. And the location... Look on your Town Map. You can't miss it. Ok, I'm counting on you! See you again on the road!

Pokémon League

• Before battle (initial fight)

"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon 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 emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, I accept your challenge!"

• Before battle (rematch)

"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon 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 emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

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

• During battle (less than half HP)

"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!"

Pokémon Platinum

When encountered in Eterna City, she will also give the player an Egg from which Togepi will hatch.

After Giratina appears in Spear Pillar and takes Cyrus down with it, Cynthia rushes to the scene and assists the player during their trip to the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled Giratina.

After beating the game, if the player visits Celestic Town Ruins, she will come and explain what the ruins mean.

Eterna City

"Oh, that device you have... It is a Pokédex? Wow, it brings back some memories. Pardon me, but what's your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I'll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I'm a Trainer just like you. I've been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. Have you seen it already? According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you're traveling with your Pokédex. Oh, I know! Try using this. It should be helpful. Remember, the hidden move Cut can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That's important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer! Oh, there's one last thing! Please give my regards to Prof. Rowan."

"Oh, there you are! I was looking for you. I've got something nice. I wanted you to have this Pokémon Egg. Will you accept it?"

No:

Yes: "That's wonderful! The Pokémon inside the Egg is happy, too. I'm sure of it! Keep that Egg with you in your party of Pokémon. A Pokémon will hatch from it while you are traveling. I would be happy to know that it will help you fill another page of your Pokédex. See you again!"

Spear Pillar

"No...! I'm sorry I took so long. I think i finally found the answer from studying the myths. When this world was made, Dialga and Palkia appeared. Apparently, there was one more Pokémon that appeared at the same time. A Pokémon with as much power as Dialga and Palkia... But also one whose name was never to be spoken--Giratina! It's said to lurk in another world... A world on the opposite side of ours... That's what the shadow was. It must have been Giratina. The pillars are distorting... It's because of that portal. It's joined us to the other world. If it's not close, the distortion will spread to Sinnoh and beyond... Our world will be destroyed... Are you ready? We have to chase Cyrus!"

No: "You need to get ready? I'll wait here."

Yes: "We have to hurry!"

Distortion World

"This place... Can you feel it? There are no Pokémon here at all. Time isn't flowing and space isn't stable. A world where the rules are broken. A space one might call the Distortion World... Let's find Giratina. We need it to stop the spreading distortion at the Spear Pillar..."

"That was... Giratina...! We have to hurry! If something's not done the distortion will swallow not only our world, it will overwhelm the Distortion World..."

"This rock slab... It appears to move if you step a certain spot."

"Will we get to see Giratina if we keep going down? ...In the Distortion World, are we really traveling downward?"

"The legend of Giratina has been forgotten but to a few... The legend told of a world on the other side of ours. This world. Why does this world exist? Why is Giratina here all alone? There's too much that can't be explained but we have things to do. Let's split up. We have to find the right way."

If interacted with again: "We don't need to go together now. Let's keep looking for the way down."

"This place... It seems to be a giant puzzle. Maybe Giratina wants to test those who come that visit here? It appears as if we can't go unless we solve the puzzle. There were some boulders that could be moved. And there are several odd pits on the floor... The Pokémon of the lakes seem eager to show us something..."

• After solving the Lake Trio's puzzle

"I guess the Pokémon of the lakes must have gone home. I understand that they can keep balance against either Palkia or Dialga. Does it mean they can't do that with Giratina? ...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."

If talked to again after the invisible platform appears: "Call it a Trainer's intuition, but we're getting close. Let's go on!"

"This is it... Giratina is up ahead..."

"...So you were already here. Why do you seek to change the world? If you hate our world you should just go off somewhere alone. Find somewhere where you can live without seeing others."

If talked to before defeating Cyrus: "But... That's no justice at all!"

• After defeating Cyrus

"Don't believe his lies. It's not possible that a Pokémon can make the world disappear. The world awaited your birth. Not only yours, either. The Pokémon with you. The people close to you. All the Pokémon and people were born because they have a part in the world. I'm convinced of that. Giratina won't go out of existence. The Distortion World won't disappear. Our world won't disappear, either. Let's go meet Giratina. ...Oops. I should do something about your hardworking Pokémon first. Now let's go meet Giratina!"

"Giratina is enraged because the two worlds are endangered. It has merged the Distortion World and our world at the Spear Pillar. That's why both worlds are becoming distorted. But there's nothing to fear. You can defeat Giratina and show the tight bond you share with your Pokémon. Or you can demonstrate how much you want it to join you. If you succeed in doing either, Giratina will understand. The distortion of the two worlds will stop!"

If talked to again: "I know that the bond you share with your Pokémon is strong!"

• After battle with Giratina

"Giratina seems to have understood us!"

"...The places we are born. The time we spend living... The languages we speak... We are all different. But the presence of Pokémon unites us. We share our lives with our Pokémon and our happiness grows as we all become greater than we were alone. That is why we can battle and trade with anyone we choose... Since there is sadness, we can feel joy. When there is anger, compassion is born... Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."

If talked to again: "Let's go back home. The portal where Giratina was should lead back to our world. Giratina was written as being on the other side of our world. It stands to a reason that it has a link to the other side."

Sendoff Spring

"...This place?! It's the Sendoff Spring... It's said to somehow lead to the great beyond... And Giratina was said to live in a world on the opposite side of ours. Oh! I'm sincerely sorry! It's very rude of me! <Player>, you are incredible! You're really a fantastic trainer! Let me say this on behalf of all Sinnoh: <Player>, thank you! Oh! That's right! You have to tell Prof.Rowan! He was very worried about you. You should visit him at his lab."

If talked to again: "You have to go tell Prof. Rowan about this at his lab. He was very worried about you."

Celestic Ruins

• After entering the Hall of Fame

"This cave painting...It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either Dialga or Palkia appearing at the Spear Pillar. The three lights around it were thought to be Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. May I continue? But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be what created this world of ours? May I continue for a little bit longer? Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient Plates they find all over Sinnoh? One of them had this engraved on it. 'Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One.' I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga or Palkia. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how Giratina fits into this scheme of things, but... It's said that in the Distortion World, neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about Giratina, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, Giratina has to have a power opposite of theirs. I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit? A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? Dialga's Roar of Time...Palkia's Spacial Rend...To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth...That's what I believe as a researcher of myths. I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again."

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Cynthia with Arceus

Cynthia makes an appearance in the Sinjoh Ruins, doing further investigation on the origins of Arceus and the creation trio. If the player has an Arceus with a fateful encounter marker, when the main character visits the Ruins of Alph, it will reveal the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside, Cynthia is found, and will tell the player that Arceus will let him/her obtain a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina. If the player returns with an Arceus caught at the Hall of Origin, which has not yet had its event item released, they will be informed she has returned to Sinnoh and the event will run without her.

Quotes

Sinjoh Ruins

In the cabin

"My name is Cynthia. I am a Pokémon Trainer. The Sinjoh Ruins remind me of Sinnoh, where I come from. Initially, I thought it was because it snows a lot here as well. But that was not it. A long time ago... people came from Sinnoh to live here. They must have built a temple here while longing for home. That's why we call these the Sinjoh Ruins..."

• If Arceus is in the party

"You are... a Pokémon Trainer? I can sense strong power coming from your Poké Ball..."

"I feel a familiar presence... The power of Dialga... Palkia... or could it be Giratina? It's similar, but not quite the same... Have you got time? Can you come to the Sinjoh Ruins with me? Call it a Trainer's intuition. When you and your Pokémon step onto that stage, something will happen."

• If Arceus is not in the party

"I wouldn't assume you managed to get here by yourself. This is a heavy-snowfall area where the snowbound land freezes you to the core... Talk to the old man if you wish to go back. Abra should be able to take you where you come from."

Inside the ruins

• If Arceus is not the walking Pokémon

"The Sinjoh Ruins are what remains of a temple built to show respect for Arceus.

• If Arceus is the walking Pokémon

"This is the Mystri Stage. The mythical stage built to show respect for Arceus. It is said that people used to celebrate its magnificent might with music and dance. Some people in Johto still pass down this tradition."

• If the player has anything but a single Arceus in the party

"The Mystri Stage allows a single Arceus and nothing else to get on the stage... If you wish to go up there, you will have to deposit your other Pokémon in PC Box at the cabin."

• If the player only has a single Arceus in the party

"According to an ancient document, time, space, and antimatter, or what combined we call the world, shall be born when Arceus stands on the Mystri Stage. This is where one might say, "The lead enters the Mystri Stage at last." All my study of ruins and Pokémon mythology in Sinnoh may have been to bring you up on this stage here today... Depicted on the Mystri Stage are the Pokémon that shaped this world. The circle in the middle is Arceus, the origin of it all..."

"This is the pattern that represents Palkia, the master of space and dimensions..."

"This is the pattern that represents Dialga, the guardian of time..."

"This is the pattern that represents Giratina, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter..."

"Arceus has accepted you as a Trainer. Arceus, having shaped the world, is said to show you a glimpse of its true power. The power of possibly making life appear out of nothing..."

"It seems that something will happen when you chose one of the circles... You'll want to be well prepared."

"Once you are ready, choose a circle and stand in the middle of it."

• Standing on Dialga's circle

"So you choose Dialga, the guardian of time?"

• Standing on Palkia's circle

"So you choose Palkia, the master of space and dimensions?"

• Standing on Giratina's circle

"So you choose Giratina, the ruler of the Distortion World?"

"That shining sphere... Could it be...an Egg? Did we just witness the very moment an Egg was brought to this world? A moment no one has ever seen?"

"An Egg is the cradle of every being. The planet itself is an Egg in a sense... Life that comes from an Egg will come to an end in due course... to begin anew... That may be what Arceus wanted to show us."

"That was...? We seem to be surrounded by that strong power again...!"

Pokémon Black and White

Cynthia appears in a house in Undella Town, where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated and afterwards reappears during spring and summer.

Quotes

Undella Town

Initial visit and battle

"What's this?"

"What an uncanny resemblance... It's surprising to meet another Trainer who has intense eyes like that Pokémon Trainer. What's your name? ... OK. I'll remember that! <Player>, nice to meet you. I'm Cynthia. I'm a Pokémon Trainer, too, like you. I have an insatiable curiosity for researching Pokémon myths."

"I'm sure you know about Undella Town's Abyssal Ruins, right? I'm staying here at my friend's villa so I can investigate them."

"In order to get to know each other better as Pokémon Trainers, I would like our Pokémon to have a match. Would you care to be my opponent?"

No: "Ha ha. You prefer to take things slowly and rationally, am I right? When you're ready, come and talk to me. I'll be happy to see you."

"Oh. You've had a chance to get ready? I do want our Pokémon to have a match... Are you prepared to be my opponent?"

Yes: "Before I send out my Pokémon, my heart always begins to race... Interesting... My Pokémon in their Poké Balls are radiating a happy feeling. Are you the reason? What are you?"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• During battle (less than half HP)

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• When defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"That was beyond my expectation! What an exceptional battle! You certainly bear a resemblance to that Trainer who faced Giratina... Oh, pardon me. I was just thinking out loud. I love being here in spring and summer. I can't stay all year, because there's so much to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. You're a great Trainer, and it would make me happy to see you again sometime."

• Afterword

"I love to come here in spring and summer. But there are a lot of things to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. I'd be delighted to see you again. You're an awesome Pokémon Trainer!"

During the Spring and rematch

• Before battle

"How terrific to see you again! I've got to tell you... My Pokémon are excited to battle yours. Would you care to be my opponent?"

No: "Oh, what a pity. Summers in Undella Town make me feel like I'm on holiday. I forget about battling! But in spring, I feel like getting worked up with a good battle."

"I can tell that my Pokémon are excited about battling your Pokémon... Would you care to be my opponent?"

Yes: "This will be such fun! No holds barred!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• During battle (less than half HP)

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• When defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"For some reason, this reminds me of a time when I told a Trainer like you to go see many, many more places and to meet many more Pokémon. For me, it has really been worthwhile to come all the way to far Unova. Why? Because... I met you, and my world got wider!"

• Before battle

"To live their lives to the fullest, people and Pokémon need the chance to throw themselves into battle against the fiercest opposition. That's why I want to battle you. How about it?"

No: "I'm a little disappointed. I know you can battle on bigger stages than you've done so far! It's so plain to me that your light can shine brighter than this..."

"Are you prepared? Let's battle at full strength and see how bright our lights can shine!"

Yes: "As our Pokémon meet in battle, I'll learn more about you and how you've taken care of them."

• After sending out last Pokémon

"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"

• During battle (less than half HP)

"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"

• When defeated

"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"

• After being defeated

"When you meet Trainers, battle them to learn about the kind of people they are. Observe the Pokémon they choose, which moves they taught them, and which items the Pokémon hold. You don't need words at such times... If you want to know more about me... Come to Sinnoh!"

During the Summer

"I'd love to live here...But if I did, there would be a mountain of research piled up...Am I right? Cynthia, enough for now! Next time, clean up."

"What is necessary for becoming stronger than you are now? My answer is simply loving Pokemon with all your heart. That's how I am, so that's all I can say."

"Hmm. This is difficult. I was greedy and bought a lot of swimsuits, but now I can't pick which one to wear."

"Here's my problem. I have a white swimsuit and a black swimsuit...Which one would look better on me?"

"Once every few years, the Champions of each region gather and compete to see who is the strongest! An interesting idea, don't you agree?"

Pokémon World Tournament

• Before battle (first round)

"I think I could get to like this atmosphere. It gives me an idea about the kind of person that battles here."

• Before battle (second round)

"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge! There won't be any letup from me!"

• Before battle (final round)

"When you are facing a Trainer in battle, you can learn everything about them. What Pokémon they have. What moves they've taught. What items they make their Pokémon hold. There's no need for words then."

• When defeated

"Aww! No matter how fun the battle is, it will always end sometime..."

• If the player is defeated

"What's necessary to become stronger? I think it's important to never lose your love of Pokémon."

• After being defeated

"That was excellent. Truly, an outstanding battle. You gave the support your Pokémon needed to maximize their power. And you guided them with certainty to secure victory."

• After winning

"Just a few minutes ago, you were the most powerful challenger. The road before you is still very long, but never give up! You'll always have Pokémon at your side."

• In the lobby, after the tournament

"I sincerely applaud your victory in the tournament. However, there must be many other strong opponents in the world... I want to keep meeting many different people and Pokémon in other places."

In the anime

Cynthia in her original outfit

Cynthia in the Best Wishes series

Cynthia was first mentioned in Lucian's flashback in An Elite Meet and Greet!, along with the members of the Sinnoh Elite Four.

She was first seen in Top-Down Training!, where she was battling against Lucian with her Garchomp on television. She then arrived in Amity Square where she was studying ancient tablets, where she met Ash, his friends, and Paul. Paul challenged her to a battle, but Cynthia won easily. She mentioned that she was like Paul in her youth, determined to win with the strongest Pokémon. After the battle, because Nurse Joy was busy, she and Brock personally healed Paul's Pokémon, after convincing him to take them to a Pokémon Center. Later, back at the Amity Square Ruins, she reads something written there: "When every life meets another life, something will be born". This is constantly flashed back to by Ash. Cynthia then decides to go toward Celestic Town, where she plans to study the legend of Dialga, Palkia, and the Lustrous Orb.

An illusion of Cynthia, created by a Mismagius, appeared in Malice In Wonderland!. The illusion battled Ash for the title of Champion with a Rayquaza and lost.

Cynthia's next appearance was in Losing Its Lustrous! and Double Team Turnover!, where she, along with Ash, his friends, Professor Carolina and Officer Jenny's police officers, tried to stop Team Galactic from stealing the Lustrous Orb.

In Aiding the Enemy!, Cynthia battled with Aaron for the title of Champion of the Sinnoh region, which she won. Ash and his friends commented that while Aaron was strong enough to be a member of the Elite Four, Cynthia was far stronger than him.

Cynthia then appeared in The Needs of the Three! and The Battle Finale of Legend!, where she helped Ash and his friends protect the lake guardians and put a stop to Team Galactic.

In Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!, Flint revealed that he intends to challenge Cynthia for her title of Champion.

She also appeared in An Old Family Blend!, where she observed the Sinnoh League tournament alongside Charles Goodshow, making her the first current Champion to appear at a Pokémon League Conference. While watching, she showed a deep interest in the battle between Ash and Paul. At the end of the competition, she personally delivered the trophy to the winner, Tobias, who had won the Sinnoh League and the right to face the Elite Four.

She appeared in Memories Are Made of Bliss!, where Ash and his friends watched her battle with Flint for the title of Champion. Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of her Pokémon, but Garchomp defeated Flint's Infernape, earning Cynthia the victory.

Cynthia also had a cameo appearance at the beginning of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where she was engaged in a battle against Palmer. Cynthia also made a cameo in the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Cynthia reappeared in All for the Love of Meloetta!. She met up with Ash again in Virbank City in Unova at the ice cream stand. She told Ash, Iris and Cilan about the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. Ash and his friends then decided to go with Cynthia and participate. On the way to Cynthia's villa, she almost hit an injured Meloetta with her car. She discovered that it was suffering from a fever and gave Ash, Iris, and Cilan instructions on how to make it feel better. She asked Iris and Cilan to find a Berry for it while she and Ash found some ice. She is revealed to have a Glaceon which uses Ice Beam to freeze the water. They break the ice and take it to Meloetta. After it recovered a little, Iris asked Cynthia if she could battle her and her Garchomp while she used Axew. She agreed and the battle got underway. Even though Axew learned Giga Impact during the battle, Garchomp proved to be way too strong for Axew. Cynthia stopped Garchomp from attacking and ended the battle before Axew could get hurt. In Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!, Ash and his friends arrived in Undella Town, the location of Cynthia's villa, where Ash was reunited with Dawn for the first time since his journey in Sinnoh. After that, Cynthia watched the battle between Dawn and Cilan.

In Jostling for the Junior Cup!, Cynthia was seen talking with Alder, where she met Trip for the first time, and later participated in an exhibition match using her Garchomp against Caitlin's Gothitelle. The battle resulted in a draw after the battle's 10 minute time limit ran out. She also appeared in Battling Authority Once Again!, where she observed the tournament and helped Iris with Dragonite's problem with listening to her commands and gave Trip some advice. After the conversation, Trip promises that when he defeats Alder in a battle, he also intends to challenge and defeat Cynthia too. In the following episode, Cynthia was seen watching the battle of Iris against Ash and after the battle, Cynthia talks to Iris about their relationship with his Pokémon. In Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!, Cynthia is seen watching the battle between Trip and Alder. After this, she watched the closing ceremony of the competition. Back in Undella Town, she watched the battle between Ash and Dawn, and she was there later for Dawn's farewell.

She appeared in Meloetta and the Undersea Temple! and Unova's Survival Crisis!, where she helped Ash and his friends put a stop to Team Rocket's Operation Tempest and saves the Unova region. She said goodbye to Ash in Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige! after informing him that the Unova League was starting in a few days.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Cynthia first appears in Ring Around the Roserade II where she is seen correctly predicting the evolutions of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum's Tru, Chimler, and Prinplup. After laughing at Dia and Pearl's Manzai, she decided to give Platinum some advice for her upcoming Gym challenge against Gardenia.

She later appears at Mr. Backlot's mansion where she investigates a case of missing Psyduck and takes the group to Route 210 and uses the Secret Potion to cure the Psyduck roadblock of their headaches. After meeting up with her grandmother, Cynthia takes the one Psyduck that belonged to a Trainer back to its owner, lending her Garchomp to them for protection. In Vs Honchkrow during Diamond and Pearl's infiltration of the Galactic HQ, she personally challenges Cyrus to a one on one battle, despite her best efforts and powerful Pokémon she is unable to defeat him and he escapes with her too exhausted to follow.

Trivia

• In the games, Cynthia's Pokémon have perfect IVs, with all being 31.
• Cynthia has appeared in every main series Pokémon game since her debut in Diamond and Pearl.
• Cynthia is the only current Champion to appear in a Pokémon movie, discounting Gary Oak, the anime counterpart to Blue, and Iris, who is not a Champion in the anime during her appearances.
• In Platinum, when Cynthia visits the player at their Villa, she notes how relaxing it is there and that she doesn't want to go home because her house is a complete mess. She goes on to say, "My house? Even the region is a secret!" hinting that she may live in a region other than Sinnoh.
• Not including the rivals, Cynthia is the only NPC in the games to receive a Pokédex.
• There is a mistake in Pokémon Platinum with Cynthia. After the player heads into Distortion World, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.
• In the Generation IV games, Milotic is the only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that generation.

Names

Language	Name	Origin
Japanese	シロナ Shirona	A Japanese name for chard. Contains 白 shiro, meaning "white".
English, French, German	Cynthia	Possibly chosen due to similarity to "synthesis", or combining different pieces into one entity, which is a reference to the fact she combines several types in her arsenal. This name also refers to the Greek goddess Artemis, who is associated with the moon, which may be a parallel to Cyrus, whose name refers to the sun.
Italian	Camilla	Probably derived from Camilla, an Amazon warrior described in the Aeneid.
Spanish	Cintia	Spanish equivalent of the name Cynthia. As in English, it refers to the Greek moon goddess Artemis (Artemisa in Spanish), as a counterpart to Helio (Cyrus), whose name comes from Helios, the Greek solar deity.
Korean	난천 Nancheon	Possibly from 난초 nancho (orchid).
Chinese (Mandarin)	竹蘭 Zhúlán	Literally Bamboo orchid. May be derived from 竹葉蘭 Zhúyèlán (bamboo orchid) or 扁竹蘭 Biǎnzhúlán (bamboo iris). Possibly chosen due to their symbolism, since the bamboo is known for its versatility, resilience and strength, while the orchid symbolizes beauty, perfection and virtue. Also rhymes with 木蘭 (Mulan).
