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. | Cynthia reappeared in ''[[BW085|All for the Love of 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. | 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.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Cynthia was seen talking with [[Alder]] in [[Lacunosa Town]], where the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup was held. Later, she participated in an exhibition match with her Garchomp against Unova Elite Four member [[Caitlin]] and her {{p|Gothitelle}}. The battle resulted in a draw after the battle's 10 minute time limit ran out. She then appeared in ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', where she observed the tournament and helped Iris with {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}'s problem with listening to her commands and gave [[Trip]] some advice. After the conversation Trip thought to himself that after defeating Alder, she would be next. In the [[BW092|following episode]], Cynthia was seen watching the battle of Iris against Ash and after the battle, Cynthia talked to Iris about their relationships with Pokémon. In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Cynthia was seen watching the battle Trip was allowed to have against Alder for winning the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup. After this, she watched the closing ceremony of the competition.

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.
