'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Elite Four]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey. She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she will give them {{HM|01|Cut}} when first met. In Platinum only, she will give the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}} after the player has defeated [[Jupiter]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]]. She is also found on {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. On {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group to get to [[Celestic Town]]. After the player has cured the Psyduck, Cynthia appears again and gives the player the {{key|IV|Old Charm}} to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]]. Later, she appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia makes an appearance in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|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 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns with an Arceus caught at the [[Hall of Origin]], which has not yet had [[Azure Flute|its event item]] released, they will be informed she has returned to Sinnoh and the event will run without her.

:''"Giratina seems to have understood us!"''  

:''"My name is Cynthia. I am a Pokémon Trainer. The {{color|FF0000|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 {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}}..."''

:''"I feel a familiar presence... The power of <sc>Dialga</sc>... <sc>Palkia</sc>... or could it be <sc>Giratina</sc>? It's similar, but not quite the same... Have you got time? Can you come to the {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} with me? Call it a Trainer's intuition. When you and your Pokémon step onto that stage, something will happen."''

:''"The {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} are what remains of a temple built to show respect for <sc>Arceus</sc>.

:''"This is the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. The mythical stage built to show respect for <sc>Arceus</sc>. It is said that people used to celebrate its magnificent might with music and dance. Some people in Johto still pass down this tradition."''

:''"The {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} allows a single <sc>Arceus</sc> 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."''

:''"According to an ancient document, time, space, and antimatter, or what combined we call the world, shall be born when <sc>Arceus</sc> stands on the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. This is where one might say, "The lead enters the {{color|FF0000|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 {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} are the Pokémon that shaped this world. The circle in the middle is <sc>Arceus</sc>, the origin of it all..."''

Cynthia reappeared in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. She met up with Ash again in [[Virbank City]] in [[Unova]] at an ice cream stand. She told Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} about the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]], where she would have an exhibition match. Ash and {{ashfr}} then decided to go with Cynthia and participate. On the way to the seaport to take a plane to Cynthia's villa in [[Undella Town]], she almost hit an injured {{an|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 would get some ice. She was revealed to have a {{p|Glaceon}} which used {{m|Ice Beam}} to freeze the water. Cynthia and Ash broke the ice and took it to Meloetta.  

After it recovered a little, Iris asked Cynthia if she could battle her and her Garchomp while she used {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, as Iris was thrilled to battle a {{type|Dragon}} she had never met before. Cynthia agreed and the battle got underway. Even though Axew learned {{m|Giga Impact}} during the battle, Garchomp proved to be way too strong for Axew. Just when Garchomp was about to hit Axew with {{m|Brick Break}}, Cynthia stopped Garchomp from attacking and ended the battle before Axew could get hurt. In ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]'', Ash and his friends arrived in Undella Town, at Cynthia's villa. Here, Ash was reunited with {{an|Dawn}} for the first time since his journey in Sinnoh. After that, Cynthia watched a battle between Dawn and Cilan.  

She next appeared in ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', where she helped Ash and his friends put a stop to Team Rocket's Operation Tempest and saved the [[Unova]] [[region]] from the [[Forces of Nature]]'s [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Therian Forme]]'s rage. She said goodbye to Ash in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'' after informing him that the [[Unova League]] was starting in a few weeks. Cynthia also made a cameo in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]'' where she is seen correctly predicting the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Prinplup|Empoleon}}. After laughing at Dia and Pearl's Manzai, she decided to give Platinum some advice for her upcoming Gym challenge against [[Gardenia]]. Afterwards, she invades the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] and frees the bike store owner, Rad Rickshaw, with ease using her {{p|Spiritomb}}'s Psychic combined with attacks of Diamond's Tru and Platinum's Prinplup. 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 ''[[PS406|Halting 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. Later, she takes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the Spear Pillar where they fight their final battle against him and the legendary Dialga and Palkia.

She has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.  

|desc={{p|Spiritomb}} was the second Pokémon seen in Cynthia's possession. With her powerful Psychic techniques she can lift objects with ease and played an important role in rescuing Rad Rickshaw from the clutches of Team Galactic. She was later used against Cyrus in the Galactic HQ and defeated his Honchkrow but was frozen by his Weavile and rendered unable to fight.
