CYNTHIA ● POKEMON

“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 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!”

champion of the sinnoh pokemon league

best theme

very kindhearted, despite her power and overall intimidating status

cares for her appearance a lot

enjoys travel, history, mythology, and learning about other cultures

including those from different worlds. in fact, although this whole thing is bizarre, she’s going to be thrilled to get such an amazing chance at learning new things here

while she’s not used to being spirited away per se, she is used to strange, different worlds, in a sense. hello, distortion world, I’m looking at you

can come across as a bit more distant than intended sometimes, but is really just trying to have fun, mentor those younger than her, and overall enjoy her own journey with her pokemon

...speaking of her pokemon, where are they????? oh no-

she’s not fazed by a lot but she’ll be fazed by that, she loves her pokemon a lot and not having them with the exception of only one is going to be quite strange for her

Oh, a Spinarak! From what Cynthia had gathered, seeing Pokemon of any kind was rather uncommon here, so it was nice to see one of these just chilling on the park bench. The champion didn’t want to scare the Pokemon off, though-- so instead of approaching too closely, she simply tore off a small chunk of the soft pretzel she had been enjoying and set it down on the bench for the ‘mon to inspect.

Hopefully, they would enjoy that, and wouldn’t be too scared of her. After all, she didn’t know if this Spinarak belonged to a trainer or not, and if it was wild, well... feral animals generally didn’t take too kindly to humans, and Pokemon were hardly an exception to that rule.

“Leon,” Cynthia greeted, smiling to herself as she spotted him wandering amidst the crowd in Archimedes. In the summer heat, she had been on her way to the water of styx; although she hadn’t been here very long, she had heard from the locals of Spirale that it was a nice place to cool off. Still, she hadn’t expected to run into a fellow league champion on the way there. It was nice to see a face that she actually recognized from her own world-- Hop had been nice to see the day before as well, even if she hadn’t actually met him personally up until that point.

“I hope you’ve been well. This heat is rather sweltering, is it not? I was just going to go check out the pools around here. Did you perhaps wish to join me?”

Given the whole situation, it was rather amazing how quickly Cynthia was adjusting to life within the confines of the island. She still wanted to do research into everything that was going on, especially in regards to how the Stars could possibly hold so much power, but... she figured that if she was stuck here for the time being, she may as well make the most of it.

How interesting. Cynthia, being someone who tried her best to keep a warm and friendly demeanor, generally wasn’t the type to stare like this; but this man seemed as if he had been pulled straight from an entirely different period of history. Not wanting to make him uncomfortable, she tried not to keep her gaze on him for too long, but kept stealing glances at him every now and then from over the top of the history book she was reading. Did the Stars that Hop had told her about really have this much power, that they could devolve Pokemon, take people from entirely different worlds, and even entirely different periods of time? Why were they doing all this in the first place? It was quite fascinating to think about.

Eventually, Cynthia set her book down on the table of this little coffee shop where she had been sitting outside and walked over to him. “Excuse me, sir. I hate to be rude, but if you do not mind, may you tell me about where you are from? Your attire seems like it would have come from the ancient times of Sinnoh.”

Despite the information Hop had given her about this bizarre city, it was still baffling to watch a Gible come out of the pokeball Cynthia had thrown, as opposed to a fully evolved Garchomp. Her poor Pokemon seemed just as confused, staring at it’s own tiny, round body in alarm, and occasionally falling over as it tried to walk; the way Garchomp moved was very different compared to how Gible did, and it showed. The poor thing was struggling to get back up off the ground now from where it had fallen, simply because of how short and stubby it’s arms had become.

Cynthia was too focused on trying to comfort her own Pokemon and help them get back onto their feet to fully notice the presence of another one nearby-- one that she likely would have recognized within mere moments if she had seen, simply due to her fascination with the various myths told throughout her world. Mew was quite a famous tale, even if it hadn’t exactly been confirmed for sure if they were actually a real creature that existed back at home.

Still, she had a feeling in her gut that she wasn’t entirely alone. “Gible, stay close to me, alright? Neither of us know much about this place yet, and I don’t want us to get separated. I don’t think we’re alone.” She scooped the dragon-type into her arms, which was something she honestly couldn’t remember the last time she had been able to do.

Late night strolls are… well, they’re okay. He’d much prefer the night walks if he was in Galar - it’s much safer, much more familiar than Spirale could ever be - but he’ll deal with it. He always does. It’s not like he has much of a choice, anyways; he had accidentally fallen asleep on a park bench and slept the entire evening away.

And now he’s walking back to his new housing alongside Felt, taking advantage of the Wooloo’s ability to see in the dark - until a voice calls out to him (it has to be him, really; there aren’t many Trainers in Spirale).

He barely processes what’s being said to him as he realizes Cynthia - THE Cynthia - is talking to him. Okay Hop, don’t screw this up. This is a really important figure in Sinnoh’s history, this is one of the strongest Champions besides Lee an’ the twins, so you gotta impress her. Be calm, be rational—

Hop’s eyes sparkle, his mouth slightly agape. “Ch-Champion Cynthia?” I said be calm! Hop quickly shakes his head to break out of the starstruck daze he was in before clearing his throat. “I-I mean, my name is Hop. I’m Lee— I’m Chairman Leon’s little brother.” Oof, haven’t whipped out the Northern Galarian in a bit. Hope that sounds right…

“I wish we could’ve met in a better situation, but…” He shakes his head again; he’s getting ahead of himself. “I can explain, Champion Cynthia. Ye— You’ve been taken to another world by some guys calling themselves ‘the Stars’. This city is called Spirale, and this island is called Radiale.” He informs, expression empathetic. “Your Pokemon are okay, but they’ve been taken by the Stars; you’ll have to earn them back by…” don’t say behave an’ socialize do not say behave an’ socialize— “… spending time in the city.”

… Good enough, I guess.

He gestures to the Champion’s Pokeball. “Whatever Pokemon you have with you now has been— they’ve been devolved to their first evolution.” He then gestures to Felt, who’s looking awfully starstruck himself. “The same thing happened with Felt, my Dubwool… he’s just a Wooloo now.”

He hopes he hasn’t forgotten anything. “I know it’s a lot to take in,” he sighs, “it was… pretty overwhelming for me, too.” And he didn’t have someone to tell him all this. “But!” He perks up, balling his hands into fists, “I’m here to help you out if you need anything; navigating, shopping, you name it, I’ve got your back, Miss Cynthia!” He smiles, wide and reassuring. “Everything’ll be alright!”

She didn’t seem to mind how starstruck he seemed very much; if anything, she looked somewhat amused by it, a faint sparkle in her eyes betraying how she was feeling. She’d rather have someone feel starstruck around her than be afraid of her due to her powerful status, after all. Still, worry for her Pokemon’s well-being kept her from seeming too happy in the moment.

The long explanation from the boy was met with a long, slow blink, lips pursed into a tight line as Cynthia mulled the flood of information over in her head. Her Pokemon had been devolved? She had been kidnapped to some other world by mysterious figures known as ‘the Stars’? Had it not been for things such as her experience with the Distortion World, she would have found it all rather hard to believe-- but it was evidence enough that she was living this right now.

It had to be the truth.

“...well, Hop, it is very nice to meet you,” She nodded, expression changing slowly to that of a smile-- a warm, genuine one. While this was still all very overwhelming, it was good to know someone here was in her corner while she got her bearings together. “I am glad to know my Pokemon are all alright, though I do still have many questions about this. I get the impression that, since you know so much about this, that you’ve been here far longer than I have,” she paused for a moment.

“So, if you do not mind, I would appreciate if you could perhaps show me around some of the important areas this city has to offer. I do know it is rather late, however, so perhaps we should do that tomorrow.” Ah, but she didn’t know where she was supposed to spend the night... she did have a house key on her, but she didn’t have any directions to actually know where the building the key belonged to was. That could be a problem.

“For now, do you have any idea where...” She stopped to pull the key out of her pocket, looking at the number engraved on it and reading it aloud. “...house 118 is?”

Night had long since fallen over the city of Spirale, and while Cynthia’s outward expression hardly showed it, she was feeling quite lost. She had been to many places in her time, and had plans to go to many more-- Alola seemed like an excellent region to take a vacation to once her reign as champion in Sinnoh had ended, as did Unova-- but... she had never seen anywhere that was quite like this. It had been pretty alarming to wake up by a giant and mysterious hole, even for someone as generally levelheaded and calm as her.

Not only that, though, but she had found herself with only one pokeball on her belt. Even now, thinking about that fact broke her heart; where had the rest of her team gone? Were they all okay? Had some thief taken them while she was out? She had been out, right? She didn’t remember doing anything to have woken up here. Perhaps it was her own fault, for underestimating the lengths some criminals would go to when it came to stealing the pokemon of others. The thought that her pokemon could be just as lost as she was or worse was quite honestly what was motivating her to spend so much time wandering throughout this new city, trying to find any sign of them. Unfortunately, there was none to be seen.

She stopped where she was on the sidewalk to take a deep breath, closing her eyes to steady herself on the ground and trying to keep her heart from racing too fast in her chest. They couldn’t disappear like this forever; she had to find them eventually, and she was certain they’d be alright when she did. When grey eyes slid open once more, she was greeted with the sight of a boy and his Wooloo-- a pokemon, though not one she had ever spotted in Sinnoh-- walking on the other side of the street. Perhaps he could do something to help her.

“Young trainer, wait!” She called out as she approached him, taking her single pokeball off her belt to show him. “Can you help me? I’m afraid I don’t know where I am, and the rest of my team has gone missing... oh, how rude of me. I didn’t even introduce myself. I am Cynthia, from the Sinnoh region.”

I'd like to app Cynthia from the Pokemon series without prior reserve! her app can be found at /app and her pokemon are at /pkmn.

Welcome to scenic Isola Radiale, Cynthia!
