'''Sorrel''' (Japanese: '''ソウジ''' ''Souji'') is a major character who appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. He is a young {{pkmn|Trainer}} and one of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}'s {{ashfr|traveling companions}} in that {{pkmn|movie}}. His goal is to become a [[Pokémon Professor]] and he is currently on a {{pkmn|journey}} gathering data on [[Legendary Pokémon]].<br />
<br />
==In the movies==<br />
[[File:Young Sorrel.png|thumb|left|250px|Sorrel when he was younger]]<br />
When Sorrel was younger, his family owned a {{p|Luxray}} that he was close to. One day, he and Luxray got lost in a forest during a blizzard, and Luxray covered him and used its body so he could be warm. When the blizzard was over and it was morning, Sorrel realized that Luxray had frozen to death. As a result, he distanced himself from other Pokémon. Later on, an encounter with a {{p|Lucario}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}}, restored his faith in making friends with Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Sorrel first appeared in a [[Pokémon Center]], where he overheard another {{pkmn|Trainer}} mention the appearance of a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Entei}}. He was among the Trainers who went out into the nearby forest to seek out Entei, and had a brief {{pkmn|battle}} with Entei using Lucario. After Entei fled, he introduced himself to {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and [[Verity]] before leaving them with a warning that rain would be coming soon.<br />
<br />
Ash and Verity encountered Sorrel again some time later, when they took a {{AP|Charmander}} abandoned by [[Cross]] to a cave for shelter. He assisted them in healing Charmander with his medicine-making skills and decided to travel with them. When Entei came into the cave to watch over a group of wild Pokémon, Sorrel explained the mythology of the [[legendary beasts]] and their relationship to {{an|Ho-Oh}}. When Ash revealed his possession of a [[Rainbow Wing]], the three decided to travel to [[Mount Tensei]] in the Raizen Mountains, where Ho-Oh was said to live.<br />
<br />
As their adventures continued, Ash introduced Sorrel and Verity to his mother {{Delia}} via a video call from another Pokémon Center. Sorrel found a book about Ho-Oh in the Pokémon Center's library, from which the group learned of the danger the Rainbow Wing could pose if held by someone with an impure heart. He watched as Ash battled Cross's {{p|Incineroar}} with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}} and lost decisively. That night, Ash snapped and lashed out in anger over his loss, rejecting Sorrel, Verity, and even Pikachu. However, he apologized for this a short while later. Seeing Ash's reunion with Pikachu, Sorrel decided to explain his past to Ash and Verity, telling them of Luxray's death, his decision to distance himself from Pokémon, and his life-changing meeting with Lucario.<br />
<br />
After witnessing Ash's emotional farewell to his {{AP|Butterfree}}, Sorrel reached Mount Tensei with Ash and Verity. There, they encountered [[Bonji]], the author of the book they read earlier. With Bonji in tow, the group used the Rainbow Wing to show the way to the crystal altar on Mount Tensei where Ho-Oh would be summoned. However, before Ash could place the Rainbow Wing on the altar, the group was ambushed by Cross, who had covertly followed them to the Raizen Mountains. Sorrel watched with Verity and Bonji as Ash fought Cross once more, finally coming out victorious over Incineroar once Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}}. Cross confessed that he had also seen Ho-Oh, but was not gifted the Rainbow Wing like Ash was. Unwilling to accept this outcome, Cross stole the Rainbow Wing, causing it to immediately turn black due to his evil heart. When he placed it on the altar to summon Ho-Oh, Marshadow appeared instead and attempted to seal the Rainbow Wing away, only to be corrupted by the darkness surrounding it.<br />
<br />
Marshadow used its power to take control of the Pokémon who had assembled to see Ho-Oh, turning them against the humans. Sorrel was forced to fight off the attack alongside Verity and a repentant Cross, but they were unable to turn the tide of the battle. Once the situation was resolved, Ash placed a new Rainbow Wing on the altar, calling Ho-Oh forth to heal all of his friends. Sorrel watched with the others as Ash challenged Ho-Oh to a battle with Pikachu. Afterwards, the group left Bonji behind and traveled to a Pokémon Center near Mount Tensei. They all decided to go their separate ways, with Sorrel wishing to find the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].<br />
<br />
During the movie's ending credits, Sorrel and Lucario encountered an {{p|Articuno}} while traveling through a snowy area, much to their delight.<br />
<br />
===Character===<br />
Sorrel was shown to care for Pokémon, such as when he helped look after a {{p|Charmander}} after it had been abandoned, by making medicine. He also chastised Ash when he believed he was responsible for leaving Charmander out during a storm.<br />

<br />
'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female, non-playable character Champion introduced in the [[core series]]. Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'' ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]])</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"'' ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins)</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon League, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|right|200px|Cynthia's appearance without her coat can be seen in her concept art for {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}.]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possessing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her hips. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs. Artwork without her coat and hair decorations are seen in concept art for Diamond and Pearl.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a [[Pokédex]] and, in [[Generation VII]], she has a [[Key Stone]]. Where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Role===<br />
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl====<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Platinum====<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the [[Pokédex]]. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the [[Celestic Ruins]], explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====<br />
[[File:Cynthiasinjoh.png|thumb|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{season}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
====Generation VII====<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types. Her Pokémon usage from Platinum is reflected in [[Volo]]'s team in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, owning the exact same Pokémon with the exception of {{p|Milotic}}.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with [[Red's Pikachu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].<br />

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===<br />
Cynthia and her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} appear in {{g|UNITE}} as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It takes place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. Her Garchomp starts the battle as {{p|Gible}} and can evolve to {{p|Gabite}} and then {{p|Garchomp}} during the battle. The other members of her team are [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.<br />
<br />
Cynthia and her Garchomp also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Cynthia's team includes [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In a Leon themed event, Cythnia only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In this mode, Cynthia and her Garchomp never use [[Holowear]].<br />
<br />
Unlike other Trainers in this game, Cynthia and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Cynthia has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Garchomp with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[X Attack]].<br />
<br />
Cynthia appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. This uses the same artwork as her own Unite Snapshot, but does not feature Garchomp. Her outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Cynthia.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade I]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. In the [[PS348|following chapter]], after laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the Sinnoh-based games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
**In [[Generation IV]], it is also the only Pokémon used by her that is not a dual type.<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}. The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; he instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Like Cynthia, Volo always begins the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* A blonde haired woman by the name of Cynthia McMaster appears as a minor character in the 2019 movie ''[[Pokémon: Detective Pikachu]]''. Her name (which is drawn attention to by [[Lucy Stevens]]) may be a nod to the Sinnoh Champion, or the character may be intended to be the same Cynthia.<br />
** It should be noted that the character's name remains Cynthia in the Japanese dub, rather than being changed to Shirona, however this could also potentially be because the translators missed the reference.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female, non-playable character Champion introduced in the [[core series]]. Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'' ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]])</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>'''[[Cynthia/Quotes|Cynthia]]''': ''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"'' ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins)</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon League, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|right|200px|Cynthia's appearance without her coat can be seen in her concept art for {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}.]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possessing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her hips. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs. Artwork without her coat and hair decorations are seen in concept art for Diamond and Pearl.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a [[Pokédex]] and, in [[Generation VII]], she has a [[Key Stone]]. Where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Role===<br />
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl====<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon Platinum====<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the [[Pokédex]]. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the [[Celestic Ruins]], explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====<br />
[[File:Cynthiasinjoh.png|thumb|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
====Generation V====<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{season}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
====Generation VII====<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types. Her Pokémon usage from Platinum is reflected in [[Volo]]'s team in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, owning the exact same Pokémon with the exception of {{p|Milotic}}.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with [[Red's Pikachu]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].<br />

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===<br />
Cynthia and her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} appear in {{g|UNITE}} as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It takes place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]]. Her Garchomp starts the battle as {{p|Gible}} and can evolve to {{p|Gabite}} and then {{p|Garchomp}} during the battle. The other members of her team are [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.<br />
<br />
Cynthia and her Garchomp also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. It also takes place on Theia Sky Ruins. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Cynthia's team includes [[Korrina]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. On the Casual difficulty, all four of the other trainers are replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In a Leon themed event, Cythnia only appears on the Expert and Extreme difficulties, being replaced by an Ace Trainer on lower difficulties. In this mode, Cynthia and her Garchomp never use [[Holowear]].<br />
<br />
Unlike other Trainers in this game, Cynthia and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Cynthia has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Garchomp with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[X Attack]].<br />
<br />
Cynthia appears as a Background element for a Trainer's Unite Snapshot. This uses the same artwork as her own Unite Snapshot, but does not feature Garchomp. Her outfit can be worn as a Trainer Outfit by players. (It does not consist of separate items and cannot be worn with any additional items.) This outfit is rendered as a model, unlike Cynthia.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade I]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. In the [[PS348|following chapter]], after laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />

* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the Sinnoh-based games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
**In [[Generation IV]], it is also the only Pokémon used by her that is not a dual type.<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}. The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}; he instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Like Cynthia, Volo always begins the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter and battle themes.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* A blonde haired woman by the name of Cynthia McMaster appears as a minor character in the 2019 movie ''[[Pokémon: Detective Pikachu]]''. Her name (which is drawn attention to by [[Lucy Stevens]]) may be a nod to the Sinnoh Champion.<br />

The character in the film is also shown to be wearing black under the red shirt (which she takes off later in the scene before Lucy goes "you've got it, Cynthia" whilst putting emphasis on the word "Cynthia". So saying that it's not even a NOD to the original character doesn't make sense to me.</p>

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />

===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* In [[Detective Pikachu (movie)]], Lucy meets a blonde reporter by the name of Cynthia McMaster. Whilst Cynthia has never been stated in the games or anime to be a reporter, the character in question being blonde, shown wearing black clothing and the dialogue drawing attention to the fact that her name is Cynthia would suggest that this is an intentional reference.<br />
<br />
** "McMaster" may also be a reference to the fact that Cynthia is the Champion of her region.<br />

[[File:Red on computer.png|thumb|150px|right|{{ga|Red}} using a PC]]<br />
<br />
A '''PC''' (Japanese: '''パソコン''' ''personal computer'') is a technology used in the [[Pokémon games]]. In the [[core series]], they are used from [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. They are found in every [[Pokémon Center]], as well as in most main characters' [[Player's house|bedroom]]s, in all [[Secret Base]]s in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, they are replaced by [[Rotomi]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{incomplete|section|Trainer PR Videos and Photo Spot photos needed}}<br />
===Features===<br />
====Pokémon Storage System====<br />
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|The main interface of Bill's PC in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]<br />
{{main|Pokémon Storage System}}<br />
Every [[Pokémon Trainer]] is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either [[Bill]] in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Amanita]] in [[Unova]], [[Cassius]] in [[Kalos]], or [[Molayne]] in [[Alola]].<br />
<br />
Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}} but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon cannot be caught in the first place.<br />
<br />
Starting with [[Generation VII]], the player has the option to switch out a Pokémon from the party and send it to the PC when a new Pokémon is obtained.<br />
<br />
====Pokédex evaluation====<br />
In almost all Pokémon games, the {{player}} can use a PC to have the [[Pokémon Professor]] of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from [[Professor Rowan]] to [[Professor Oak]] upon obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] evaluates itself.<br />
<br />
====Item Storage System====<br />
[[File:Can'tStoreDeG_S.png|thumb|The player being unable to store the [[Devon Goods]] in the PC in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.]]<br />
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, PCs have an '''Item Storage System''' (Japanese: '''どうぐのあずかりシステム''' ''tool storage system'') which the player can use to store items.<br />
<br />
In these games, the player's [[Bag]] size is very limited, with the player being unable to obtain new items if their Bag is full. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player's Bag has enough room for at least one stack of every type of item, so the Item Storage System no longer exists.<br />
<br />
In the Generation I and II core series games, as well as {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Item Storage System can store 50 different types of items in their PC; in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it can store 30 different types of items.<br />
<br />
There are some items that cannot be stored in the PC. In the Generation I and II core series games, the player can store any item in their PC. In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can store any item other than the [[Letter]], the [[Devon Goods]], the [[Red Orb]], or the [[Blue Orb]]. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can only store items from the Items Pocket. In Emerald, the player can store any item other than [[HM]]s and [[Key Item]]s.<br />
<br />
In the Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} games, the player starts the game with a [[Potion]] in their PC.<br />
<br />
====Mailbox====<br />
From Generation II to V, if the player takes [[Mail]] from a Pokémon, they can choose to either place that piece of Mail in their Mailbox or in their Bag.<br />
<br />
Placing Mail in the Mailbox preserves the message that was written on it, allowing the player to read it later, or even give it a Pokémon again.<br />
<br />
====Ball Capsules====<br />
In the [[Generation IV]] games and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player can assign [[Seal]]s to Ball Capsules. In the Ball Capsules menu, players can design Ball Capsules, or assign or remove Ball Capsules from Pokémon in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is sent into battle, any Seals on its Ball Capsule will be displayed briefly.<br />
<br />
Pokémon with a Ball Capsule cannot be stored in the PC unless the Ball Capsule is removed.<br />
<br />
====Photo Album====<br />
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can take [[Photography|photos]] in various locations. The player can view, reorder, and delete their photos from this menu.<br />
<br />
====Hall of Fame====<br />
{{main|Hall of Fame}}<br />
This function only becomes accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} of the respective region, showing up to 25 records of the player's past victories against them. This feature was removed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].<br />
<br />
====Decorations====<br />
In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC allows the player to manage [[decoration]]s in that room.<br />
<br />
====Saving====<br />
In {{g|Colosseum}}, PCs also function as [[Saving|save]] points. This feature was removed in {{Pokémon XD}}, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of the core series games.<br />
<br />
===Networking===<br />
In FireRed and LeafGreen, it is shown that PCs require special systems to connect between two distant locations, as shown when [[Celio]] and Bill had to work together on the {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} to allow PCs in the [[Sevii Islands]] to be able to connect to mainland [[Kanto]]'s computer network, and later to be able to connect with Lanette in Hoenn, unlocking the ability to [[trade]] Pokémon with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as Colosseum and XD in [[Orre]].<br />
<br />
===Glitches===<br />
There are several [[glitch]]es associated with PCs in the Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
*In the [[Generation I]] games, there is an [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Invisible PC|invisible PC]] in the hotel in [[Celadon City]], which appears very similar to a [[Pokémon Center]]. The invisible PC is located where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center.<br />
*In the [[Generation I]] games, seeing certain [[glitch Pokémon]] such as [[MissingNo.]] will [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Hall of Fame glitch|corrupt]] the player's [[Hall of Fame]] records.<br />
*Many [[cloning glitches]] are related to the PC.<br />

<br />
====Card album====<br />
The card album displays a list of the available {{TCG|booster pack|booster packs}}. If the player does not have a certain card, it is not shown. If the player does not have any cards from a booster pack, the booster pack itself is not shown.<br />
<br />
Each booster pack screen contains a list of cards owned by the player, the number of cards owned and the maximum number of cards available. For instance, if the player has 45 cards from {{GB|1|Evolution}} (whose maximum number is 50 cards), the number displayed would be "45/50".<br />
<br />
However, the [[Phantom Cards]] only count if the player has them; otherwise they are ignored.<br />
* In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, there are 2 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum value displayed for {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} is between 18 (if the player doesn't have either) and 20 cards (if the player has both).<br />
* In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are 4 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum number displayed for {{GB|2|Promotion Card}} is between 45 and 49 cards.<br />
<br />
====Read mail====<br />
In the first game, contains Mail received from [[Dr. Mason]], which are accessible only from the PC. For a complete list and transcript of all 15 Mail, see [[Dr. Mason#Mail|here]]. <br />
<br />
In the second game, it is unavailable on the PC and replaced by the "See mailbox" option in the [[Minicom]].<br />
<br />
====Deck diagnosis====<br />
The deck diagnosis displays a list of various advice given by {{TCG GB|Dr. Mason}}. The player may use the "deck check" (Japanese: デッキチェック) option to see the number of cards of each type in a deck: {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cards}}, {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} cards, and {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}}.<br />
<br />
There is no official English name for "deck diagnosis" or "deck check"; these terms are fan translations from the Japanese game.<br />
<br />
====Print====<br />
The "print" option in both games allows the player to use the [[Game Boy Printer]] to print out copies of a single card, a list depicting one of their custom deck configurations, and a list of every card they own in the game. There is a "Print quality" configuration that may be set from 1 (light) to 5 (dark).<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Silver Conference dormitory PC.png|thumb|220px|A PC in the [[original series]]]]<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the PC is not frequently used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as it is by {{player}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}, since most characters are shown to leave their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a person they trust rather than using the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. {{Ash}}, for instance, tends to keep {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and {{an|May}} has left some of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} under the care of her [[mother]], [[Caroline]], at the [[Petalburg Gym]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Sinnoh League PCs.png|thumb|left|250px|PCs available for Trainers to use during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]]]<br />
PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a {{wp|videophone}}. For example, in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', {{an|Brock}} is shown using an {{wp|email}} account on the PC to keep in contact with [[Suzie]]; in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Brock asks {{jo|Liza}} for her email address; and in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'', {{an|May}} mentions to her mother that she keeps in touch with her friends by e-mail, in addition to phone calls and letters.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', the people taking the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] had to answer true-or-false questions on a computer as a way to test their knowledge on Pokémon. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash was shown using a PC to look up {{Gary}}'s profile. In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', [[James]] used his laptop to look up information on {{ho|Robert}} and his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
PCs were used more often in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', [[Zoey]] used her laptop to access the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website and show {{an|Dawn}} a video of a [[Double Performance]] delivered by [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}. In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', {{Ash}} used the PC of a library inside the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]] to search information on the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Uxie}}.<br />
<br />
PCs were also used by [[Paul]] in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' to get information on {{an|Barry}}'s Pokémon and vice-versa. It was also used by Ash in the same episode to look up info on [[Conway]] and Conway then used it to study {{si|Tobias}}. In addition, [[Nurse Joy]] and many officials for the [[Pokémon League]] are often shown using PCs.<br />
<br />
In the anime, the PCs appear to run {{wp|operating system}}s that are visually similar to {{wp|Mac OS}}.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
PCs are generally used for communication purpose in [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====<br />
A PC first appeared in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', when {{adv|Red}} used it to contact {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He used another one to contact him again in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]''.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====<br />
Professor Oak used a PC in ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'' to talk with [[Misty]] about Red's disappearance. [[Erika]] also used a PC in ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'' to ask Misty for any new information regarding Red.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====<br />
Before the day of his [[Gym Leader]] aptitude test, Red used a PC in his home to talk to {{adv|Bill}} in ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]''.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====<br />
In ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]'', Bill was shown talking to [[Cassius]] over the PC.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====<br />
In a flashback, Red was shown once again using the PC in his home to talk to Bill in [[PS607]].<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:ComputerSearchBoundariesCrossed137.jpg|thumb|200px|Computer Search]]<br />
{{main|Computer Search (Base Set 71)}}<br />
Computer Search, a card that features a PC, was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the {{TCG|Base Set}} expansion, and was later reprinted in English in the {{TCG|Base Set 2}} expansion. The card was later reprinted as an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card|ACE SPEC}} {{TCG|Item card}} during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) in the {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion.<br />
<br />
It also appeared in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} as part of the {{GB|1|Colosseum}} expansion, and the video game [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]] as part of the {{GB|2|Island of Fossil}} expansion.<br />
<br />
It allows the player to discard two cards in order to add any one card from their deck to their hand.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* In [[Detective Pikachu (movie)]], Lucy meets a blonde reporter by the name of Cynthia McMaster. Whilst Cynthia has never been stated in the games or anime to be a reporter, the character in question being blonde, shown wearing black clothing and the dialogue drawing attention to the fact that her name is Cynthia would suggest that this is an intentional reference.<br />
** "McMaster" may also be a reference to the fact that Cynthia is the Champion of her region.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* In '''[[Detective Pikachu (movie)]]''', Lucy meets a blonde reporter by the name of Cynthia McMaster. Whilst Cynthia has never been stated in the games or anime to be a reporter, the character in question being blonde, shown wearing black clothing and the dialogue drawing attention to the fact that her name is Cynthia would suggest that this is an intentional reference.<br />
** "McMaster" may also be a reference to the fact that Cynthia is the Champion of her region.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* In the {{Detective Pikachu movie|Detective Pikachu (movie)}}, Lucy meets a blonde reporter by the name of Cynthia McMaster. Whilst Cynthia has never been stated in the games or anime to be a reporter, the character in question being blonde, shown wearing black clothing and the dialogue drawing attention to the fact that her name is Cynthia would suggest that this is an intentional reference.<br />
** "McMaster" may also be a reference to the fact that Cynthia is the Champion of her region.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS431|The Final Dimensional Duel I]]'', Cynthia is taken to [[Veilstone City]] by her grandmother. Cynthia is chastised by her grandmother over her defeat at the hands of Cyrus. Cynthia's grandmother reveals she plans on training Cynthia to fully master learning Draco Meteor.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* In the Detective Pikachu movie, Lucy meets a blonde reporter by the name of Cynthia McMaster. Cynthia has never been stated in the games or anime to be a reporter, but the character in question being blonde, shown wearing black clothing and the dialogue drawing attention to the fact that her name is Cynthia would suggest that this is an intentional reference.<br />
** "McMaster" may also be a reference to the fact that Cynthia is the Champion of her region.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />

In ''[[PS440|The Final Dimensional Duel X]]'', Cynthia appears in [[Sunyshore City]], where she defeats [[Charon]] and Giratina with a fully-mastered Draco Meteor. When asked how she knew Giratina would appear in Sunyshore, Cynthia reveals that being trapped in the [[Distortion World]] left Giratina with the desire to see the sun. Afterward, Cynthia takes her grandmother to the Café Cabin as thanks for the special training.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', Cynthia is seen in the [[Johto]] region, where she spots Dialga and Palkia flying towards Sinnoh. She is then approached by [[Palmer]], a [[Frontier Brain]] who also hails from Sinnoh.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* Cynthia made a cameo in the Detective Pikachu movie, where she is seen speaking to Lucy Stevens at the Pokémon Parade.<br />

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is an archeologist who is also the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Sinnoh League|Pokémon League]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl}}, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
===Character profile===<br />
Cynthia is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], who makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. She also the first female Champion introduced in the [[core series]] (excluding player characters). Cynthia is an archeologist who investigates myths involving Pokémon and is described as mysterious, referring to herself as "the researcher of myths." With her interest in mythology and history, she spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the Sinnoh region. Because of this Cynthia has a wide knowledge of Pokémon and their relationships with people, creating some theories of her own. She can get carried away with these topics, often talking for long periods of time or theorizing in places where she shouldn't be.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, in the [[Distortion World]]): ''"...Oops. This is no time for idle chitchat."'',</ref> Cynthia realizes this behavior, catching herself and apologizing whenever it happens.<ref>Cynthia ({{game|Platinum}}, at Celestic Ruins):''"I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit?"''</ref> Similarly, she speaks politely, frequently asking the player if they are doing well and uses phrases such as "pardon". <br />
<br />
Cynthia tends to enjoy relaxation and travel, visiting the villas owned by [[Caitlin]] and the player found in [[Unova]] and in Sinnoh's [[Battle Zone]] respectively. In Platinum, she expresses that part of the reason for this is that she is typically a messy person, and has research papers thrown around the house. Cynthia also enjoys the piano, claiming that she enjoys the sound, listening to it with both her body and spirit. <br />
<br />
Cynthia has a large love and passion for Pokémon and is implied to have helped [[Professor Rowan]] with his [[Pokédex]], embarking on an adventure as a child, similar to that of the player. Cynthia can be seen as a generous person, providing the player with multiple items and information throughout their journey, including [[Pokémon Egg]]s. While generous, she is also very appreciative of the player's efforts. At the Pokémon league, she acknowledges the player's strength as a Trainer and their bond with Pokémon. She enjoys fun and challenging battles and isn't easy to give up.<br />
<br />
Cynthia's known relatives include her grandmother, her grandfather, and a younger sister, all of which go unnamed. Her family lives in Celestic Town, although her own hometown was not mentioned, even going as far to say that her home region is a secret. Cynthia bears a striking resemblance to [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], implying some form of ancestry, however the direct correlation between the three, is unknown.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
[[File:Diamond and Pearl Cynthia production art.png|thumb|150px|right|Cynthia's conceptual artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in the [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond ART Book and Pokémon Shining Pearl ART Book|art book]]s for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}]]<br />
Cynthia is an adult woman with long curly platinum blonde hair that reaches behind her knees. Bangs fall over her left eye and two large side curls fall in front of her shoulders, curling inward, covering her ears and the back of the neck. She has thin eyebrows. Cynthia's eyes are thin, but round, and point outward ending with thick eyelashes. She has gray irises. While their relation is unknown, she carries similar design attributes with that of [[Volo]] and [[Cogita]], possesing similar facial structures and colors.<br />
<br />
Her clothing and design has remained mainly the same between all of her core series appearances. Her hair has two decorations on both sides of her head, resembling two black teardrops with a gold stripe on each tear. One of Cynthia's most iconic attributes is her long and heavy black coat that drapes over half way down her legs, ending in dark black fur trimming. The coat forms a V-neck with the openings connecting to another with another teardrop-like ornament that is silver in color, potentially acting like a zipper, that ends on the front of her chest. Two more silvery buttons appear next to this ornament. The coat's long sleeves end at her wrists also ending in dark black fur trimming. Cynthia also owns a scarf of the same black fluffy material as the fur trimming on her coat, covering a majority of her neck. Underneath, Cynthia owns a plain, dark-gray v-neck dress shirt with long sleeves ending at around her waist. Cynthia's long light gray dress pants also lack much detail other than seams. The pants however, do cover her ankles, leaving no form of skin in sight. The toe tips of Cynthia's black pointed high-heel shoes have a thin gold stripe that end at the soles. A majority of her shoes are covered by her pant legs.<br />
<br />
Cynthia owns a Pokédex and, in Generation VII, she has a [[Key Stone]], where these items are held are unknown.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl===<br />
[[File:Diamond Pearl Cynthia.png|thumb|left|150px|Cynthia's artwork for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]<br />
'''Website blurb'''{{sup/8|BDSP}}: ''A mysterious person who shows up at many points along your journey. She’s investigating myths about Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
Cynthia makes her first appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, where she meets up with the {{player}} at various points during their journey.<br />
<br />
She will first meet the player in [[Eterna City]], where she takes an interest in them for owning a [[Pokédex]] given to them by [[Professor Rowan]]. She explains to the player about her interest in mythology and about [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon of Myth]], she then offers {{HM|01|Cut}} to the player. After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] and [[Maylene]], and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] found in [[Pastoria City]] to [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, giving them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. Once the player makes their way to Route 210, Cynthia appears again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] at [[Celestic Town]]. In [[Hearthome City]], Cynthia speaks to the player at the gym after they have defeated [[Fantina]], making mention of [[Team Galactic]] and their dangerous acts. She later appears at the {{si|Pokémon League}} as the {{pkmn|Champion}}, serving as the player's final obstacle.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, she can also be battled against at the {{si|Battle Tower}}.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon Platinum===<br />
In {{game|Platinum}}, Cynthia has the same role as she did in Diamond and Pearl, but has an extended role in this game, allowing for more character interactions and events.<br />
<br />
Like in Diamond and Pearl, the player first meets Cynthia at [[Eterna City]], where she takes notice of the [[Pokédex]] that [[Professor Rowan]] has given them. She explains to them that she is a researcher of myth, and that [[Sinnoh]] has many Pokémon to discover to record in the Pokédex. After her explanation of the statue based on the [[Pokémon of Myth]], she provides the player with {{HM|01|Cut}}, and before leaving, asks the player to give her regards to Professor Rowan. After [[Jupiter]]'s defeat in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], Cynthia meets the player at [[Rad Rickshaw's Cycle Shop|the cycle shop]] and happily gives the player a {{p|Togepi}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, saying it will help them with their Pokédex.<br />
<br />
After the player defeats [[Crasher Wake]] in [[Pastoria City]] and follows a [[Team Galactic Grunt]] towards [[Lake Valor]], the player runs into Cynthia again at [[Valor Lakefront]], where she is researching the {{p|Azelf|Pokémon of the lake}}, however, the lake is currently closed to the public. She asks the player if they have seen the wild {{p|Psyduck}} that appear at {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} and gives them the [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] that would help cure the Pokémon's headache. The player makes their way to Route 210, with Cynthia appearing again once the Psyduck have left. This time, she has a big favor to ask the player, and gives them the [[Old Charm]] to deliver to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] in [[Celestic Town]]. At Celestic Town, she takes notice of the bomb held by [[Team Galactic]], having second thoughts about how harmless they actually were and how their usage of Pokémon is unacceptable. She directs the player towards [[Canalave City]] and it's library, if they want to continue work on their Pokédex. <br />
<br />
At the summit of [[Mount Coronet]], Cynthia arrives at the [[Spear Pillar]] once [[Cyrus]] has been dragged into the [[Distortion World]] by a shadowy figure. Providing context of Sinnoh's origins, she explains that there is a third member of the [[Pokémon of Myth]] alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, a Pokémon named {{p|Giratina}}. Because of Giratina's presence, space-time is distorting from the portal leading to the Distortion World. Cynthia and the player lead into the Distortion World where she guides the player through the world in order to confront Giratina. Throughout the Distortion World, Cynthia explains the properties of the location, the lack of Pokémon, the abnormality of space and time, and the balance the [[Lake guardians]] have with the Pokémon of Myth. After the defeat of Cyrus and Giratina, Cynthia and the player fall back into the [[Sendoff Spring]], where she offers her thanks on the situation, and tells the player to meet Professor Rowan who was worried. She splits paths with the players once again, and, like in Diamond and Pearl, she is fought as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the {{si|Pokémon League}}.<br />
<br />
During the post-game, she will appear at the Celestic ruins, explaining the context. Cynthia theorizes about the three lights, painted on the cave wall, such as what Pokémon they could be or if it represents something greater. She connects it to the writing that is engraved on the [[Plate]]s found throughout Sinnoh, and how there may be a another Pokémon mentioned, called {{ga|Arceus|the Original One}}. Her theory implies that this Pokémon is stronger than Dialga or Palkia, but is unsure about where Giratina may fit into the bigger picture. She thanks the player for listening and takes off. <br />
<br />
The player meets Cynthia again at [[Snowpoint City]] after they have found every Pokémon in Sinnoh. Here, she provides the player with words of encouragement before they boat to the [[Fight Area]], and how she is proud of them. She can later appear in the player's villa in the [[Resort Area]], and takes mention of her love for the piano.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===<br />
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Cynthia Arceus.jpg|thumb|250px|Cynthia with {{p|Arceus}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]<br />
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 [[Pokémon of Myth]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker or from the [[Hall of Origin]] when they visit the [[Ruins of Alph]], the player will be teleported to the Sinjoh Ruins. Inside a cabin at the ruins, the player will find Cynthia, who will tell the player that Arceus will let them obtain a [[level]] 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns to the Sinjoh Ruins with another Arceus (that doesn't have the same origin as the one they used the first time), they will be informed that Cynthia has returned to Sinnoh, and the event will run without her.<br />
<br />
===Generation V===<br />
During [[Generation V]], Cynthia appears in a villa belonging to [[Caitlin]] in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated for the first time and afterwards reappears during the spring and summer {{OBP|season|mechanic}}s. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and, in {{game|Black and White|s}} only, [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], and [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. <br />
<br />
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, she speaks about a young Trainer who had defeated her, and mentions that the same Trainer also defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the player character during the events of Platinum. <br />
<br />
In {{B2W2}}, Cynthia can also be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She is the only woman who participates in this tournament, with [[Iris]] being excluded.<br />
<br />
===Generation VII===<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, Cynthia appears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] as an opponent that the player can battle and subsequently recruit.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
Cynthia has appeared in at least one game in each [[generation]] between [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|VII}}, and has used a variety of Pokémon both in [[type]] and selection, between them all. In {{game|Platinum}} and in rematches in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, none of her Pokémon share any types with one another and has the most diverse Pokémon usage in comparison to other Champions in her team of six, owning 11 of the 12 possible types.<br />
<br />
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, all of Cynthia's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s when battled against.<br />
<br />
Her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} has seen usage in every game where she has battled the player, and has appeared in numerous pieces of media and merchandise on her own. Tied with {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia's Garchomp rests at level 88 in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as the highest level Pokémon owned by an [[Non-player character|NPC]] outside of battle facilities.<br />

<br />
==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Cynthia Looker Adventures.png|thumb|270px|Cynthia in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
Cynthia has loved cycling since her childhood and often races with her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}.<br />
<br />
====History====<br />
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====<br />
Cynthia first appears in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. She is first seen in [[Eterna City]], where she correctly predicts the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and {{TP|Platinum|Piplup}}. After laughing at Diamond and Pearl's comedy routine, Cynthia offers to give Platinum advice for her upcoming Gym battle against [[Gardenia]]. Once finished, Cynthia attacks the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] in order to rescue [[Rad Rickshaw]], who was kidnapped by [[Team Galactic]].<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]'', Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum encounter Cynthia again at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}. Cynthia reveals that [[Mr. Backlot]], the owner of the mansion, asked her to investigate a {{p|Psyduck}} that went missing. She takes the three to {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, where a large group of Psyduck have clustered together, creating a roadblock that prevents anyone from passing through the route. Using a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]], Cynthia cures the Psyduck of their headaches, causing them to disperse and allow travel through Route 210.<br />
<br />
Afterward, Cynthia and the trio meet with Cynthia's [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]], who had been forced to stay at the [[Café Cabin]] due to the roadblock preventing her from going back to [[Celestic Town]]. Cynthia decides to have her grandmother take the trio to Celestic Town while she goes off to return one of the Psyduck to its owner. Before leaving, Cynthia lends her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} to her grandmother for protection.<br />
<br />
In ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'', Cynthia appears at the [[Team Galactic HQ]] to confront [[Cyrus]], the leader of Team Galactic. Cynthia reveals that her intentions were to take revenge on Cyrus for attacking Celestic Town, her hometown. Despite her best efforts, Cynthia's rage leads to her commanding Garchomp to attack with {{m|Draco Meteor}}, which it had yet to master. The attack heavily damages Cyrus's {{p|Gyarados}}, but fails to actually knock it out. With Garchomp left exhausted after using the move, Cyrus bids Cynthia farewell and heads to the [[Spear Pillar]] to begin his plans.<br />
<br />
Cynthia, realizing that Cyrus intends to summon {{adv|Pokémon of Myth|Dialga and Palkia}}, decides to follow after him to prevent the two Pokémon from being awakened. As she heads out of the building, Cynthia comes across Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, who had fought Team Galactic to free {{adv|Lake guardians|Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf}} from their clutches. The trio join Cynthia and travel to the Spear Pillar in order to put a stop to Cyrus's ambitions. By the time the group arrived at the Spear Pillar, Cyrus had already successfully summoned Dialga and Palkia and had them fight each other. The clash between the two Legendary Pokémon creates distortions in time and space that slowly begin to engulf the [[Sinnoh]] region. The distortions, combined with her injures, prevent Cynthia from being much help to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum during the battle against Cyrus.<br />
<br />
During the battle, an explosion causes Cynthia to drop a scroll containing information on Dialga and Palkia. After translating the scroll, Platinum relays the information to Diamond and Pearl, who successfully free Dialga and Palkia from Cyrus's control. Now free, Dialga and Palkia combine their powers to defeat Cyrus and stop the distortions affecting Sinnoh.<br />
<br />
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* After the player heads into the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, should the player use the portal to head back into Spear Pillar, Cynthia will still be there, while also being in the Distortion World.<br />
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, {{p|Milotic}} is her only Pokémon used that was not introduced during that [[generation]].<br />
* In Platinum, Cynthia's {{p|Togekiss}} has the {{a|Hustle}} [[Ability]], despite having no moves that benefit from the Ability.<br />
* Cynthia shares many similarities with [[Volo]]:<br />
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.<br />
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's dress. However, [[Cogita]]'s dress more fully resembles Cynthia's, including the teardrop-shaped ornament, so the significance of the ornament is uncertain.<br />
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.<br />
** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.<br />
** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.<br />
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.<br />
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.<br />
* Cynthia made a cameo in the Detective Pikachu movie, where she is seen speaking to Lucy Stevens at the Pokémon Parade.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{MissingInfo}}<br />
[[File:Ambertwo anime.png|150px|thumb|right|Ambertwo as seen in ''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin'', just before she dies.]]<br />
'''Amber''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|アイ|Ai}}''' ''I'') was the daughter of {{an|Dr. Fuji}}, who died while she was still a child. She first appeared in ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' {{wp|radio drama}}, released in CD format exclusively in Japan, and then in ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'' short, which was added to the beginning of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' in all television airings in Japan and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one onward.<br />
<br />
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s despair at losing his daughter led him to dedicate most of his life to research into {{wp|cloning}}, with the belief that he would be able to create a clone of Amber if he discovered the secrets of recreating life. This led {{an|Giovanni}} to fund him, with the condition that he would also clone {{p|Mew}}, creating {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}.<br />
<br />
Both Mew and Amber were successfully cloned, and Amber's clone was named '''Ambertwo''' (Japanese: '''アイツー''' ''Itwo''). While they were both growing inside test tubes on [[New Island]], Mewtwo communicated with Ambertwo telepathically. Unfortunately for Fuji, Mewtwo's genetic makeup (as a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}), sheer force of power (and tears in the English dub) kept it alive while Ambertwo died. Fuji was heartbroken, but continued his work on Mewtwo with the hope that another try at cloning Amber would be more successful.<br />
<br />
However, any hopes of seeing her actually alive died alongside Fuji, as Mewtwo destroyed the laboratory on New Island.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Amber's Japanese name is directly based on the English {{wp|Grammatical person|first-person singular}} {{wp|personal pronoun}} ''I'', as explained by [[Takeshi Shudō]] in a blog post of his authority.<ref>[http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo187.shtml 第187回 ルギア黙示録]</ref><br />
** In the early stages of the radio drama's production, Amber was originally referred to as ''Me'', but was later renamed to ''I'' as Shudō felt that it connotes a stronger assertion of self-existence. The name ''Me'' was later used on [[Molly Hale|a different character]].<br />
* If one counts the radio drama and ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', Amber is the first human to be seen dying in the [[Pokémon anime]].<br />

[[File:Red on computer.png|thumb|150px|right|{{ga|Red}} using a PC]]<br />
<br />
A '''PC''' (Japanese: '''パソコン''' ''personal computer'') is a technology used in the [[Pokémon games]]. In the [[core series]], they are used from [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. They are found in every [[Pokémon Center]], as well as in most main characters' [[Player's house|bedroom]]s, in all [[Secret Base]]s in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s.<br />
<br />
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, they are replaced by [[Rotomi]].<br />
<br />
==In the core series games==<br />
{{incomplete|section|Trainer PR Videos and Photo Spot photos needed}}<br />
===Features===<br />
====Pokémon Storage System====<br />
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|The main interface of Bill's PC in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]<br />
{{main|Pokémon Storage System}}<br />
Every [[Pokémon Trainer]] is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either [[Bill]] in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Amanita]] in [[Unova]], [[Cassius]] in [[Kalos]], or [[Molayne]] in [[Alola]].<br />
<br />
Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}} but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon cannot be caught in the first place.<br />
<br />
Starting with [[Generation VII]], the player has the option to switch out a Pokémon from the party and send it to the PC when a new Pokémon is obtained.<br />
<br />
====Pokédex evaluation====<br />
In almost all Pokémon games, the {{player}} can use a PC to have the [[Pokémon Professor]] of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from [[Professor Rowan]] to [[Professor Oak]] upon obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] evaluates itself.<br />
<br />
====Item Storage System====<br />
[[File:Can'tStoreDeG_S.png|thumb|The player being unable to store the [[Devon Goods]] in the PC in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.]]<br />
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, PCs have an '''Item Storage System''' (Japanese: '''どうぐのあずかりシステム''' ''tool storage system'') which the player can use to store items.<br />
<br />
In these games, the player's [[Bag]] size is very limited, with the player being unable to obtain new items if their Bag is full. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player's Bag has enough room for at least one stack of every type of item, so the Item Storage System no longer exists.<br />
<br />
In the Generation I and II core series games, as well as {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Item Storage System can store 50 different types of items in their PC; in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it can store 30 different types of items.<br />
<br />
There are some items that cannot be stored in the PC. In the Generation I and II core series games, the player can store any item in their PC. In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can store any item other than the [[Letter]], the [[Devon Goods]], the [[Red Orb]], or the [[Blue Orb]]. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can only store items from the Items Pocket. In Emerald, the player can store any item other than [[HM]]s and [[Key Item]]s.<br />
<br />
In the Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} games, the player starts the game with a [[Potion]] in their PC.<br />
<br />
====Mailbox====<br />
From Generation II to V, if the player takes [[Mail]] from a Pokémon, they can choose to either place that piece of Mail in their Mailbox or in their Bag.<br />
<br />
Placing Mail in the Mailbox preserves the message that was written on it, allowing the player to read it later, or even give it a Pokémon again.<br />
<br />
====Ball Capsules====<br />
In the [[Generation IV]] games and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player can assign [[Seal]]s to Ball Capsules. In the Ball Capsules menu, players can design Ball Capsules, or assign or remove Ball Capsules from Pokémon in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is sent into battle, any Seals on its Ball Capsule will be displayed briefly.<br />
<br />
Pokémon with a Ball Capsule cannot be stored in the PC unless the Ball Capsule is removed.<br />
<br />
====Photo Album====<br />
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can take [[Photography|photos]] in various locations. The player can view, reorder, and delete their photos from this menu.<br />
<br />
====Hall of Fame====<br />
{{main|Hall of Fame}}<br />
This function only becomes accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} of the respective region, showing up to 25 records of the player's past victories against them. This feature was removed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].<br />
<br />
====Decorations====<br />
In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC allows the player to manage [[decoration]]s in that room.<br />
<br />
====Saving====<br />
In {{g|Colosseum}}, PCs also function as [[Saving|save]] points. This feature was removed in {{Pokémon XD}}, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of the core series games.<br />
<br />
===Networking===<br />
In FireRed and LeafGreen, it is shown that PCs require special systems to connect between two distant locations, as shown when [[Celio]] and Bill had to work together on the {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} to allow PCs in the [[Sevii Islands]] to be able to connect to mainland [[Kanto]]'s computer network, and later to be able to connect with Lanette in Hoenn, unlocking the ability to [[trade]] Pokémon with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as Colosseum and XD in [[Orre]].<br />
<br />
===Glitches===<br />
There are several [[glitch]]es associated with PCs in the Pokémon games.<br />
<br />
*In the [[Generation I]] games, there is an [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Invisible PC|invisible PC]] in the hotel in [[Celadon City]], which appears very similar to a [[Pokémon Center]]. The invisible PC is located where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center.<br />
*In the [[Generation I]] games, seeing certain [[glitch Pokémon]] such as [[MissingNo.]] will [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Hall of Fame glitch|corrupt]] the player's [[Hall of Fame]] records.<br />
*Many [[cloning glitches]] are related to the PC.<br />

====Card album====<br />
The card album displays a list of the available {{TCG|booster pack|booster packs}}. If the player does not have a certain card, it is not shown. If the player does not have any cards from a booster pack, the booster pack itself is not shown.<br />
<br />
Each booster pack screen contains a list of cards owned by the player, the number of cards owned and the maximum number of cards available. For instance, if the player has 45 cards from {{GB|1|Evolution}} (whose maximum number is 50 cards), the number displayed would be "45/50".<br />
<br />
However, the [[Phantom Cards]] only count if the player has them; otherwise they are ignored.<br />
* In {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, there are 2 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum value displayed for {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} is between 18 (if the player doesn't have either) and 20 cards (if the player has both).<br />
* In [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]], there are 4 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum number displayed for {{GB|2|Promotion Card}} is between 45 and 49 cards.<br />
<br />
====Read mail====<br />
In the first game, contains Mail received from [[Dr. Mason]], which are accessible only from the PC. For a complete list and transcript of all 15 Mail, see [[Dr. Mason#Mail|here]]. <br />
<br />
In the second game, it is unavailable on the PC and replaced by the "See mailbox" option in the [[Minicom]].<br />
<br />
====Deck diagnosis====<br />
The deck diagnosis displays a list of various advice given by {{TCG GB|Dr. Mason}}. The player may use the "deck check" (Japanese: デッキチェック) option to see the number of cards of each type in a deck: {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cards}}, {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} cards, and {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}}.<br />
<br />
There is no official English name for "deck diagnosis" or "deck check"; these terms are fan translations from the Japanese game.<br />
<br />
====Print====<br />
The "print" option in both games allows the player to use the [[Game Boy Printer]] to print out copies of a single card, a list depicting one of their custom deck configurations, and a list of every card they own in the game. There is a "Print quality" configuration that may be set from 1 (light) to 5 (dark).<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Silver Conference dormitory PC.png|thumb|220px|A PC in the [[original series]]]]<br />
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the PC is not frequently used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as it is by {{player}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}, since most characters are shown to leave their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a person they trust rather than using the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. {{Ash}}, for instance, tends to keep {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and {{an|May}} has left some of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} under the care of her [[mother]], [[Caroline]], at the [[Petalburg Gym]].<br />
<br />
[[File:Sinnoh League PCs.png|thumb|left|250px|PCs available for Trainers to use during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]]]<br />
PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a {{wp|videophone}}. For example, in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', {{an|Brock}} is shown using an {{wp|email}} account on the PC to keep in contact with [[Suzie]]; in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Brock asks {{jo|Liza}} for her email address; and in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'', {{an|May}} mentions to her mother that she keeps in touch with her friends by e-mail, in addition to phone calls and letters.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', the people taking the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] had to answer true-or-false questions on a computer as a way to test their knowledge on Pokémon. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash was shown using a PC to look up {{Gary}}'s profile. In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', [[James]] used his laptop to look up information on {{ho|Robert}} and his Pokémon.<br />
<br />
PCs were used more often in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', [[Zoey]] used her laptop to access the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website and show {{an|Dawn}} a video of a [[Double Performance]] delivered by [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}. In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', {{Ash}} used the PC of a library inside the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]] to search information on the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Uxie}}.<br />
<br />
PCs were also used by [[Paul]] in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' to get information on {{an|Barry}}'s Pokémon and vice-versa. It was also used by Ash in the same episode to look up info on [[Conway]] and Conway then used it to study {{si|Tobias}}. In addition, [[Nurse Joy]] and many officials for the [[Pokémon League]] are often shown using PCs.<br />
<br />
In the anime, the PCs appear to run {{wp|operating system}}s that are visually similar to {{wp|Mac OS}}.<br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
===Pokémon Adventures===<br />
PCs are generally used for communication purpose in [[Pokémon Adventures]].<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====<br />
A PC first appeared in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', when {{adv|Red}} used it to contact {{adv|Professor Oak}}. He used another one to contact him again in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]''.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====<br />
Professor Oak used a PC in ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'' to talk with [[Misty]] about Red's disappearance. [[Erika]] also used a PC in ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'' to ask Misty for any new information regarding Red.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====<br />
Before the day of his [[Gym Leader]] aptitude test, Red used a PC in his home to talk to {{adv|Bill}} in ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]''.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====<br />
In ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]'', Bill was shown talking to [[Cassius]] over the PC.<br />
<br />
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====<br />
In a flashback, Red was shown once again using the PC in his home to talk to Bill in [[PS607]].<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
[[File:ComputerSearchBoundariesCrossed137.jpg|thumb|200px|Computer Search]]<br />
{{main|Computer Search (Base Set 71)}}<br />
Computer Search, a card that features a PC, was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Original Series (the Japanese Original Era) in the {{TCG|Base Set}} expansion, and was later reprinted in English in the {{TCG|Base Set 2}} expansion. The card was later reprinted as an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card|ACE SPEC}} {{TCG|Item card}} during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) in the {{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}} expansion.<br />
<br />
It also appeared in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} as part of the {{GB|1|Colosseum}} expansion, and the video game [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!]] as part of the {{GB|2|Island of Fossil}} expansion.<br />
<br />
It allows the player to discard two cards in order to add any one card from their deck to their hand.<br />

'''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') is a ten-minute prologue added to the beginning of the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: '''完全版''' ''full version'') version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Internationally, it was released as a special feature on the ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', under the title "The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin".<br />
<br />
It is adapted from parts of the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'', which in Japan originally aired in the lead-up to the release of the movie.<br />
<br />
This short increases the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes. Adding to the prologue already present within the movie, the movie's prologue's length is increased from 10 to 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
==Release==<br />
The Japanese theatrical release of [[M01]], which premiered on July 18, 1998, does not include this prologue. In Japanese, the prologue is only included in the ''kanzenban'' version.<br />
<br />
The ''kanzenban'' version of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' is the version broadcast in all Japanese television airings and included in all Japanese home video releases from the third release onward. In addition to this prologue, the ''kanzenban'' version also contains additional CGI edits. The ''kanzenban'' version was first shown on [[TV Tokyo]] on July 8, 1999, while its first home video release was on VHS on November 12, 1999.<br />
<br />
Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in {{pmin|the United States}}, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the prologue while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' version for the rest of the movie (as opposed to footage from the Japanese theatrical version).<br />
<br />
On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released on home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': on the VHS, these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie; on the DVD, they were included as a special feature.<br />
<br />
The full English dub of the short was first released on a Japanese DVD of the movie, released on June 23, 2000, which contained both Japanese and English audio tracks. The full English dub was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' as a special feature on the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in {{pmin|Australia}} and on December 4, 2001 in {{pmin|the United States}}.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{an|Dr. Fuji}} speaks of being sent on an expedition that was funded by {{an|Giovanni}}. The journal entry, dated the 6th of August, states that the purpose of the journey was to look for {{p|Mew}}, supposedly the strongest Pokémon known to mankind. The reasons for the expedition are for Fuji to obtain a sample of Mew DNA, which he could use in an attempt to clone the creature, a project which Giovanni will fund. However, Fuji's true motives for agreeing to the project are more personal, as he wishes to use the research to recreate his deceased daughter, {{an|Amber}}. The team managed to acquire what they believe to be a Mew fossil, which Fuji hopes is authentic, as he would have the genetic material he requires to create Giovanni's super-Pokémon. The scientific team begins work on the cloning process, and after a period of time, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} is born.<br />
<br />
The scientists observe the immature Mewtwo floating in its tank and lament that despite its strong vital signs, it has not gained consciousness, much like the other clones. However, Mewtwo can hear their voices, though he does not understand what they are saying. Through the usage of telepathy, the clone of Amber, Ambertwo, tells Mewtwo that they are speaking. Mewtwo is startled and wonders what Ambertwo is and she replies that she is "a girl, a person." She tells Mewtwo that she was not aware that Pokémon could communicate like humans, to which Mewtwo ponders if he is a Pokémon or a human; however, Ambertwo says it should never matter which one it is. <br />
<br />
The scientific team study the clones' brainwave patterns and figure out that they are speaking to each other through the usage of telepathy. Fuji, however, is indifferent to the announcement, as he is concerned with the clone of his daughter. Ambertwo explains to Mewtwo that she and all the others are clones, hence the "-two" suffix in their names. She explains that the scientists call her "Ambertwo," but she is still Amber inside. <br />
<br />
Fuji, observing the clones, hopes that his daughter will be able to live once more. He thinks back to before he had begun the Mewtwo project, to when he was attempting to clone Amber in the basement of his home. His wife, however, was distraught over the loss of their daughter and became angry with his endeavors, telling him that he could not bring Amber back. She eventually left him, telling him that she loved their daughter as much as he did, but he needed to accept the fact that she was gone, and she could not continue to watch him continue his fruitless efforts.<br />
<br />
Later, Fuji and a scientist discuss the status of the clones, and how Giovanni will be happy to soon have the strongest Pokémon of all. Fuji, however, hopes that their efforts will grant him with the knowledge to finally be able to create a viable clone of Amber.<br />
<br />
Ambertwo shows Mewtwo and the rest of the clones—Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, clones of {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}} respectively—a memory where she used to live and shows him elements of life, wind, sun, rain and times of the day. Mewtwo asks Ambertwo if the Moon is the Sun and is told the moon is there to keep people from being afraid of the dark. Soon, the clones slowly fade away, which the scientists lament as "another failure." Inside Ambertwo's "Remember Place," Mewtwo looks around for the other clones and asks Ambertwo where they had gone. However, Ambertwo begins to fade away, which one of the scientists notes quietly. Fuji watches solemnly as the energy pulse in the tank fades away. <br />
<br />
Mewtwo, worried, asks Ambertwo what is happening, to which she replies that, "it feels like it's time to say goodbye." Mewtwo begins to cry at the loss of his friend, and Ambertwo assures him that it will be alright and thanks him for caring about her. She tells him he will live and that life is wonderful. However, Mewtwo calls out for Ambertwo in sadness and fear, which begins to manifest as a psychic emission and spike in brain activity. As alarm klaxons blare, Fuji orders his assistant to stabilize Mewtwo's powers by administering a memory-wiping serum. The serum almost fails to take effect, but gradually, Mewtwo calms down and falls asleep. The team is relieved and while Dr. Fuji is glad Mewtwo survived, he is outraged that his daughter is gone forever.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo slowly matures, and in its sleep, it states that it feels like it has been asleep for what seems like forever. It still has slight memories of Amber, and ponders over her last words.<br />
<br />
''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' continues from this point.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
* The segment on the [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|scientist}}s' expedition in the jungle is detailed by {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s journal through his voice instead of featuring live dialogue from the scientists, as in the Japanese version. In the original, the scientists only talk about {{OBP|Mew|M01}} as they trek to the archaeological site. They recall legends of {{p|Mew}} causing floods and making crops grow on barren land for people. One scientist remembers hearing of Mew's supposed immortality, and another asks whether it is an angel or a devil. One questions whether it is extinct, but another answers that recent sightings have been reported but not confirmed, and no photographs serve as clear evidence. In the tent, a scientist shows the others his find: a fossil of an eyelash. Dr. Fuji asks him if it is from Mew, and the discoverer says that he believes so. Dr. Fuji then says that the fossil should be taken to the laboratory immediately, and that it should be enough to clone Mew.<br />
* In the English [[dub]], Dr. Fuji pleads that his theories are true after {{an|Amber}} explains why all of the clones' names end in "-two." In the original, he speaks to Amber and wonders what she is saying telepathically.<br />
* During the flashback of Dr. Fuji and his wife in the dub, he tells her that he has reawakened Amber's consciousness and just needs to "keep it viable long enough to complete the process", implying that he has successfully retrieved an actual part of Amber's self. In the original, however, he says that he has only electronically replicated her consciousness into a hologram, but still swears that he can bring her back to life.<br />
* The dub omits and replaces much of the dialogue spoken by the scientist walking with Dr. Fuji. However, one of his remarks may have revealed a crucial point: he says that Mew reportedly has an immortal life force, so this may explain why {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s creation was successful.<br />
* Amber's last words are significantly different between each version of the short. In the original, she says that living beings cry when in pain, but only humans cry from sadness. In the dub, she says, "My daddy used to tell me a bedtime story that when Pokémon are sad and they cry, their tears are full of life.", foreshadowing the climax of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back.''<br />

==Blurb==<br />
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-movies/movie-pokemon-the-first-movie-1999/--><br />
<i>Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it's an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!<br />
<br />
Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids' Pokémon so it can even the "imbalance" between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash's protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}, wanting to find a way to restore life by cloning, leads an expedition to [[Guyana]] after finding evidence of a shrine dedicated to {{p|Mew}}, the world's most powerful—but now said to be extinct—Pokémon. {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]], funds Fuji's research in return for an enhanced, living replica of Mew. Finding a fossil of Mew, Fuji and his team create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Upon gaining consciousness, a confused Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. Just then, Mewtwo fully wakes up in a stasis tube in one of Fuji's laboratories, where the scientists study it. Mewtwo breaks out of its test tube; Dr. Fuji tells Mewtwo that it was made by [[human]]s and is a clone of, but much more powerful than Mew. Mewtwo is angry that the scientists see it more as an end result to their project and less of a sentient being, so it destroys the lab and kills all of the scientists. Dr. Fuji says to himself that he succeeded in creating the world's most powerful Pokémon before dying at the hands of Mewtwo. Then, Giovanni arrives in his private helicopter and offers to help Mewtwo focus its powers. Mewtwo takes up the offer, and is put in a suit of armor.<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks, Mewtwo does most of Team Rocket's dirty work, capturing [[wild Pokémon]] and beating any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that challenges the [[Viridian Gym]], including [[Gary Oak]]. When Giovanni tells Mewtwo his own twisted way of controlling Pokémon, Mewtwo angrily blasts away, destroying its armor, and vows from atop the island it was created on to begin its reign on Earth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Messenger Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dragonite shows up to deliver an invitation]]<br />
Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are preparing for lunch until a Trainer named [[Raymond]] shows up and challenges Ash, who is happy to oblige. With his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, Ash easily beats Raymond. What he doesn't know is that he's being watched, not only by Team Rocket, but by a mysterious third party. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were also watching the battle, don't have any food and watch hungrily as the gang eats Brock's cooking. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} flies in with a letter for Ash and {{ashfr}}. It projects a hologram of a mysterious woman who tells the Trainers to head to [[Old Shore Wharf]] in order to get to an island fortress called [[New Island]].<br />
<br />
Later, as a storm brews, the gang arrive at the [[Pokémon Center]], whose [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for quite a while. [[Officer Jenny]] informs the Trainers gathered that the ferry to New Island has been cancelled. {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}, the pier master tells them that she has lived on the pier all her life and that the current storm is the fiercest she's ever seen. She then tells a story to everyone present about how some people died in a storm many years ago, however legend has it that the tears of a Pokémon restored the people to life.<br />
<br />
Soon, most of the other Pokémon Trainers—ignoring Jenny and Miranda's warnings—take off for New Island. Ash and the gang are eager to follow, but none of their Pokémon are strong enough to handle the giant waves. Team Rocket, under disguise, give Ash and the gang a boat ride. Later, Team Rocket's disguise was uncovered. However, the storm proves too much for them, and as the strong wind and waves hit against the boat, it capsized and everyone was sent into the ocean. The gang saved themselves by using Ash's Squirtle and [[Misty's Staryu]] to get all the way to New Island.<br />
<br />
As the heroes barely arrive at New Island, the mystery woman from the hologram letter greets them and takes them to the dining room to meet the other Trainers who arrived safely. Brock says that she looked familiar, however, the woman denies it and shows them to the castle.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, as Team Rocket try to get inside the fortress, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Mew|M01}} senses something troubling and arrives at New Island, and follows closely behind Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo greets Trainers to New Island]]<br />
As they arrive in the dining room, Ash and the gang meet three Pokémon Trainers named [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and [[Corey]]. Just then, the mystery woman introduces everybody in the room to her master, who is revealed to be none other than Mewtwo. Fergus insults Mewtwo, who sends him flying. Fergus has his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Mewtwo easily reflects it. Then, Mewtwo releases the woman from its power, Brock quickly catches her, and it is revealed that the mystery woman is the missing Nurse Joy. Mewtwo tells the Trainers that humans are weak and cruel, and have made all Pokémon their slaves. It also says that Pokémon are no better off, since they choose to associate with humans.<br />
<br />
As Team Rocket get into the fortress and make their way into a laboratory, they come across a weird-looking machine, a computer, and several Pokémon sleeping in giant pods. Jessie accidentally sits on the computer controls, which play back a recorded message from Dr. Fuji about the fossilized eyelash of Mew that was used to create Mewtwo. Suddenly, the machine takes a piece of hair from Meowth to create a clone of him. Summoned by Mewtwo, the cloned Pokémon awaken and exit to their master.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo leads Ash and the other Trainers into the stadium part of the fortress and suggests that they should battle Pokémon to see who is the strongest, the clones versus the originals. [[Ash's Charizard]], Corey's {{p|Venusaur}}, and Neesha's {{p|Blastoise}} are no match for Mewtwo's clones. Mewtwo then summons its own specialized [[Poké Ball]]s, the Mewtwo Balls, and uses them to capture Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise, claiming them as its prize. Mewtwo then announces that the other Pokémon will be taken to be cloned. The clones will remain safe on the island while Mewtwo's storms destroy the planet. Mewtwo then sends the Balls after the Pokémon.<br />
<br />
[[File:Neesha Vileplume.png|thumb|left|250px|Neesha attempts to protect her Pokémon]]<br />
Immediately, all the Trainers are on the run. Some Pokémon are captured before they realize what's happening, some attempt to outrun the Mewtwo Balls and some attempt to use their attacks to defend themselves. However, it proves to be useless as nearly all the Pokémon end up being captured one by one. Ash deduces that Pokémon inside their Poké Balls should be safe from capture and [[recall]]s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, it turns out to be no use, as the Mewtwo Balls instead capture the {{i|Poké Ball}}s whole with Bulbasaur and Squirtle still inside. Brock suggests carrying the Pokémon away, but while Misty successfully hides {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside her [[bag|backpack]], {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} aren't so lucky and are also caught.<br />
<br />
{{AP|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon still uncaptured, and as a result he's now the only target of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash uses his body to block them, giving Pikachu a chance to run. Pikachu heads towards a nearby suspended staircase and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to take out a few of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash follows him up the staircase. Pikachu is forced to use his Thunder Shock every few seconds, which in combination with constantly being on the run, leaves him exhausted. As a result, Pikachu is forced off the staircase while dodging the Balls, falling a long way. Ash jumps off after Pikachu to protect him, but before he can grab his friend, a Mewtwo Ball finally manages to capture Pikachu. Ash grabs the Ball before he falls into the pool of water at the base of the staircase, and loses his grip on it underwater. Ash follows it, out of the pool, and towards the entrance to the laboratory where Team Rocket is.<br />
<br />
The same machine that cloned Meowth earlier is now processing all of the Mewtwo Balls, and Ash grabs the one Pikachu is in just as the machine does as well. Fighting against the machine's many arms, Ash eventually manages to get the Mewtwo Ball away, destroying the machine in the process. Pikachu is released from the Mewtwo Ball and shakes himself off. Happily, he reunites with Ash, but the clones are now freed from their stasis tubes, prepared to join Mewtwo. The remaining Mewtwo Balls are released from the machine in an explosion, and all open to free the Pokémon inside, including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and their Poké Balls.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo releases the other humans and is soon joined by its clone army. Ash emerges from the smoke with his and every Trainer's Pokémon and proclaims that they won't let Mewtwo's plan succeed. He tries to punch Mewtwo, but Mewtwo's force field knocks him down. Ash goes in for another punch, but this time Mewtwo sends him flying at a high point of the castle. Ash is saved from the blow by a large, pink bubble. Then Mew comes onto the scene, having created the bubble that protected Ash. The playful Pokémon is soon targeted by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from its clone, Mewtwo, who says that clones are far more powerful than the originals. Mew communicates with Mewtwo that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart, which is translated by Meowth. Disgusted, Mewtwo throws another Shadow Ball at Mew, who dodges it, but the blast hits Ash. With Mewtwo blocking all the Pokémon's special moves, a widespread melee begins between the Pokémon and their clones.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mewtwo Shadow Ball.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo launches a Shadow Ball at Mew]]<br />
Ash survives the blast, but is horrified to see all the Pokémon fighting their clones, especially Pikachu getting slapped endlessly by his [[Pikachutwo|clone]]. He eventually falls back down to the stadium floor, prompting Misty, Brock, and Nurse Joy to come to his aid. They see now how horrible this kind of fighting is, and that the originals and clones will never give up, resulting in their deaths. Ash realizes someone has to take a stand and refuse to fight, like Pikachu is.<br />
<br />
As Team Rocket also look on in horror, Meowth talks with his clone about how, no matter how different people are, they all share a lot in common on this planet.<br />
<br />
Just as Mew and Mewtwo are emanating large auras of psychic energy in preparation for their most powerful energy blasts, Ash, frightened and angered by the continuous fighting, runs between them, demanding them to stop that futile battle. The two blasts of energy strike with Ash in the crossfire, and due to the magnitude of concentrated power, Ash is turned to stone.<br />
<br />
The stadium becomes silent, save for Pikachu, who runs to Ash's side. After trying to wake him up, Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt in vain, as Ash stays unmoving and no sign of life. Pikachu begins to cry at losing his best friend, as do the rest of the Pokémon in the stadium due to Ash's noble and bravery sacrifice in the name of their salvation. The tears of all the Pokémon come together and magically revive Ash, bringing him back to life just like in the story Miranda told earlier.<br />
<br />
After witnessing all of this, Mewtwo states that it does not matter who is more powerful, that the clones and originals both have value, and that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant: it is what one does with life that determines one's destiny. Mewtwo also says that it would be best if no one knew about what happened. When Mewtwo flies off, it tells Ash that it will find a place where it and the clones can live in peace. As a result, all of the memories of this event are erased from the Trainers' minds.<br />
<br />
Ash, Misty, Brock, and everyone else instantly find themselves back at the Pokémon Center with no memory of their adventure on New Island. Nurse Joy is also back, offering shelter from the storm. Going out to the pier, Ash sees Mew in the clouds as the storm ends and tells Misty and Brock that [[EP001|when his journey began]] he saw a {{an|Ho-Oh|mysterious Pokémon}}, and now he believes he just saw another. Misty thinks that Ash was just imagining it, but Brock points out that maybe he wasn't. With that, the three friends prepare to continue their journey.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Rocket, on the now-empty and green New Island and with no clue how they got here, decide to take a vacation as the credits begin to roll.<br />

==Scenes in episodes==<br />
[[File:Mewtwo in armor.png|thumb|220px|Giovanni controlled Mewtwo with a special suit of armor]]<br />
The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in scenes that prelude this movie. These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the anime's four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18.<br />
<br />
The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie.<br />
<br />
In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio go to {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, apologize to Giovanni, and have a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of when Mewtwo is first shown in its armor, though this scene chronologically took place after the scene in the movie.<br />
<br />
The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of Team Rocket HQ in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation. The shot of Giovanni's helicopter taking off in this episode uses the same animation (played in reverse) of the same helicopter landing on New Island in the movie.<br />
<br />
==Alternate versions==<br />
===''Kanzenban'' version===<br />
In Japan the theatrical version had only two home video releases (VHS, February 12, 1999; LaserDisc, July 17, 1999) and was never shown on TV. A new version of the movie, known as the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: 完全版 ''full version''), has been shown in all television airings in Japan (the first one being on July 8, 1999) and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one (VHS, November 12, 1999) onward: this version contains additional scenes and CGI edits.<br />
<br />
====Additional scenes====<br />
{{main|The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin}}<br />
A ten-minute short known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') was added at the beginning of the movie in the "kanzenban" version: this short details the history of Mewtwo's creation (based on the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]''), increasing the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes and the prologue's length from 10 to 20 minutes. Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in the United States, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the short while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' for the rest of the movie instead of the footage from the Japanese theatrical version. On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released in home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': in the VHS these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie while in the DVD they were included as an extra. On June 23, 2000, a Japanese DVD of the movie was released with both a Japanese and an English audio track, and this marked the first time the full English dubbed version of the short was available; it was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' in the Special Features of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States.<br />
* The first scene (the only one that was included on the American VHS/DVD release of the movie) centered around a group of explorers who found an ancient engraving of Mew and a fossil of its eyelash.<br />
* The second detailed {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s attempts to clone {{an|Amber|his daughter}}, who had died as a child, Mew, and the Kanto starters.<br />
* The final scene detailed a young Mewtwo's telepathic interaction with clones of the [[Kanto]] starters and Amber Fuji.<br />

<br />
====CGI edits====<br />
All the following edits were made for the "kanzenban" and then used in international releases of the movie:<br />
* In the wide shot of Mewtwo facing Dr. Fuji, who is explaining to it how it was created, two large test tubes were shown positioned on either side of the screen in front of the characters and magnifying them. These were pushed off to the edge of the screen in the newer version of the film.<br />
* When Mewtwo is being suited up with armor, Giovanni is covered in shadow (much like his first appearances in the anime). In the newer version the scene was changed so he could be seen better, probably because his identity in the anime had already been revealed in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge]]''.<br />
* A CGI panning effect was added to the Gym floor when Mewtwo battles a Trainer's {{p|Onix}}.<br />
* When Mewtwo first summons the storm, the shadow color on its hand is changed from purple to pinkish-red.<br />
* Mew floating up to the surface of the water in a bubble was completely re-animated.<br />
* Throughout the film, the original hand-drawn clouds of Mewtwo's storm are replaced with more realistic-looking CGI clouds. The water in the storm is also altered to have different shades of blue.<br />
* Mewtwo's castle is changed from hand-drawn to CGI.<br />
* The shot of the big doors opening was replaced with CGI doors. When the door closes in front of Ash, the scene now pans all the way back to Team Rocket facing the door when it was originally a {{wp|Dissolve (filmmaking)|dissolve}}.<br />
* Another CGI panning effect was added for the shot of Rhyhorn charging toward Mewtwo.<br />
* The big reveal of Mewtwo's stadium was rendered with CGI.<br />
* The scene of Ash walking forward with all the rescued Pokémon was altered to have them fade into sight. In the original, they were drawn as black silhouettes slowly walking outward through the smoke and their bodies interacted with it more. This was also seen in the US trailer of ''Pokémon the First Movie''.<br />
* When Ash is looking down at the Pokémon fighting their clones, they were all originally drawn as silhouettes.<br />
* The tears of life from the Pokémon were changed to CGI.<br />

===Digitally remastered version===<br />
Similar to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', the ''Kanzenban'' version of this movie was digitally remastered to HD, complete with slight color correction. An error is also corrected where [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} now comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] only once. It was released on Blu-Ray in Japan on November 28, 2012 with a boxset containing all the movies up to [[M13]], and aired on May 3, 2013 on [[TV Tokyo]]. The dub (which retains the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] audio) aired on Cartoon Network January 4, 2014, and was re-released on [[Pokémon TV]] June 6, 2015. In addition to all of the changes in the Japanese version, [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] is once again cut out, along with the Alakazam error in the Cartoon Network version. The opening{{tt|*|Cartoon Network version only, they are removed from the Pokémon TV version}} and ending{{tt|*|Pokémon TV re-release only}} credits are retyped in a [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] font instead of {{wp|Comic Sans}}, and the copyright year 2014 (2015 for the re-release) was added to the end of the credits. The Warner Bros. distribution screen at the end was removed.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Fourth Trainer.png|thumb|200px|The fourth Trainer seen on the far right before leaving]]<br />
[[File:Female Trainer M01 Fearow.png|thumb|200px|The female Trainer leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]<br />
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[EP065]], where Mewtwo is seen escaping from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. This mismatch was caused by the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]] causing the {{pkmn|anime}} to be put on hiatus for several months.<br />
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue. The prologue was further extended to 20 minutes in the Japanese extended version and twelve minutes in the international extended version.<br />
** According to [[Takeshi Shudō]], the prologue was only added after it was clear that the hiatus would cause the tie-in episodes to air after the movie premiere.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167.shtml</ref> Originally, Mewtwo would first appear onscreen when it revealed itself to the Trainers on [[New Island]].<br />
* According to Takeshi Shudo's notes on the movie, {{Ash}} was petrified but not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's {{m|Psychic}} blasts collided with him, and the tears simply restored him.<br />
* Some of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the poster did not appear in the movie.<!--which ones?--><br />
* Several [[move]]s were used by Pokémon in this movie that were not yet available in the {{pkmn|games}}. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}} used {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} (itself a Pokémon not yet available) used {{m|Rollout}}.<br />
* Other than [[Corey]], [[Fergus]], and [[Neesha]], a female fourth {{pkmn|Trainer}} takes off from the pier on the back of a Fearow. She is seen flying Fearow while Fergus and Neesha ride their {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. She likely never made it to New Island, unlike the others.<br />
** She is the only character who leaves for New Island but never appears again. Mewtwo wipes the memories of everyone on New Island and transports them back to the mainland (except for Team Rocket), but this Trainer completely disappears.<br />
* Of the Pokémon seen at the gathering, only [[Misty's Togepi]] was not captured and cloned by Mewtwo due to {{an|Misty}} hiding it in her [[bag|backpack]].<br />
* Though Mewtwo owned a cloned {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, they were not cloned from the Trainers' Pokémon. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired itself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.<br />
** These three Pokémon are the fully-evolved forms of {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends}}, who died when Mewtwo was young.<br />
* This is the only movie that does not feature Ash on the English cover.<br />
* In Japan, this movie (paired with the ''Pikachu's Vacation'' short) was released on {{wp|LaserDisc}}, being the only Pokémon media to be released on this medium.<br />
* The North American VHS release features an introduction to the tape's contents by {{an|Professor Oak}}, utilizing footage from [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|his lecture]] on Alakazam from [[EP066]].<br />
* Despite the English [[dub]] using the ''kanzenban'' footage, the opening of the original North American DVD release uses a hand-drawn shot of the big doors opening.<br />
* The title of this movie is also used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Mewtwo's trailer] for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].<br />
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b70GRNYnacI movie's first trailer] showed several prominent scenes that never appear in the final cut. Most notable were scenes of Ash fleeing an explosion, a woman who looks like Misty accompanying {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} and a younger character, and {{TRT}} standing on a warship.<br />
** Largely because of the close resemblance, as well as {{AP|Pikachu}} being present, it was initially speculated that the woman in the trailer was an adult Misty. However, this was confirmed to be false by Kunihiko Yuyama during the 2019 Pokémon Anime Expo premiere of [[M22|the movie's remake]]. Instead, the woman was designed specifically for the trailer, and her resemblance to Misty was purely coincidental.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:Flameless Rapidash.png|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]<br />
* {{p|Machamp}} being sent out by Raymond is shown twice.<br />
* Ash isn't shown choosing {{AP|Squirtle}}.<br />
* Early in the movie, Pikachu defeats Raymond's {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect because Golem is a {{type|Ground}}.<br />
* Mewtwo is colored pink as it begins creating the storm. In a later shot of Mewtwo intensifying the storm, its color is corrected.<br />
[[File:Old Shore Wharf crowd comparison.png|thumb|200px|Fergus and Corey's backpacks shrink. Also, the top image shows the fourth Trainer who left for New Island.]]<br />
* In two very similar shots at the beginning and end of the movie, as [[Officer Jenny]] warns the Trainers about the storm, the backpacks of [[Corey]] and [[Fergus]] drastically shrink in size.<br />
* When Fergus releases his Gyarados into the water to ride on its back, its lips are blue instead of yellow.<br />
* When Jenny's hat flies off, the loops of Miranda's earrings are completely colored in.<br />
* In the English dub, three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. {{p|Pidgeot}} is called {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{p|Scyther}} is called {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} is called {{p|Sandshrew}}. In the audio commentary, [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV.<br />
** In addition, the closed captioning for the re-release and on Pokémon TV have Corey correctly referring to his Pokémon as a Pidgeot.<br />
* Fergus states that all of his Pokémon are {{t|Water}} types in the English dub, but he also has a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.<br />
* While Ash is looking at Fergus's Pokémon in the dub, his Japanese voice can be faintly heard over the voice of the Pokémon.<br />
* When Fergus runs over to his injured Gyarados, his Nidoqueen has the color scheme of a {{p|Nidoking}}.<br />
* Right before Ash charges at Mewtwo, one frame shows {{p|Rapidash}} without its flames. This was fixed in later releases.<br />
* In the shot after Corey shows his Pokémon to Ash and his friends, Ash's pupils are entirely brown instead of mostly black with some brown.<br />
* When the clones enter with an explosion and emerge from the smoke, [[Pikachutwo]]'s black-tipped ears are the same as a normal {{p|Pikachu}}'s and Golduck is greenish teal instead of blue.<br />
* Pikachutwo's cheek pouches surge with electricity even though Mewtwo blocked the Pokémon's special abilities.<br />
** However, the Japanese dialogue says nothing about the Pokémon's abilities being blocked, and they simply clash physically out of pure hatred.<br />
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the episodes of the anime, resulting in several dubbing errors: <br />
** In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{p|Charmander}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.<br />
** In one scene, a Trainer calls his {{p|Kingler}} with an unknown name.<br />
** In another scene, Neesha calls her {{p|Blastoise}} by its Japanese name, ''Kamex''.<br />
** In the cloning scene, {{MTR}} says "{{p|Chikorita}}" when speaking about {{p|Vaporeon}}.<br />
** When Meowth talks with the clone Meowth, one line in human language was said by the clone Meowth despite the fact that the clone Meowth can't speak the human language.<br />
[[File:M01 ENG Bluray Credits error.JPEG|thumb|200px|Typo listing Billy Crawford as "Bolly Crawford" in the HD remastered version]]<br />
* The retyped ending credits for the English dub of the remastered version misspell [[Don't Say You Love Me]] as Don't Say '''Your''' Love Me and accidentally list '''Bolly Crawford''' instead of Billy Crawford as the singer of the opening song.<br />
* On the DVD scene selection, {{p|Togepi}} is listed as Pokémon {{p|Chikorita|#152}}. However, prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Togepi had been given #152 in other media as well.<br />
* In the Swedish dub, when [[Jessie]] comments on Meowth's hair being cloned, her voice is computerized like the machine that speaks afterwards.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
*The message and themes of the film were changed in the dub. The Japanese version explores ethical themes of existensialism, whereas the Englis version replaces it with an anti-violence message. This was explanined by Shudo in his blog.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo183.shtml</ref><br />
* Mewtwo's personality and goal are different between the original version and dub. In the dub, Mewtwo is more boastful about its powers and certain about superiority to Mew and wants to destroy the world with a hurricane it created to get revenge on humanity. In the original version, Mewtwo is instead portrayed as a confused being and, while its motive is still to get revenge on humanity, it is not the destruction of the world by means of the storm, but the actual confrontation between Mewtwo and the Trainers that is its goal, with the storm used as a test that the Trainers had to get through (which was also briefly alluded to in the dub).<br />
* Giovanni was never mentioned by the scientists in the laboratory in the original version, and all the references to him were added in the dub.<br />
* There was no alarm sounding during Mewtwo's awakening in the Japanese version.<br />
* The dialogue in the scene where {{an|Dr. Fuji}} tells Mewtwo about its origins was altered in the dub. In the original version, Mewtwo asks if Mew is its mother or father, and when Dr. Fuji tells that neither "yes" or "no" would be a wrong answer, it asks if it was created by {{wp|God in Christianity|God}}. To this, Dr. Fuji replies that in this world, the only ones capable of creating life are God and humans, and Mewtwo was created through human science.<br />
** In addition, the Japanese version had the scientists shortly before Mewtwo's rampage merely congratulating themselves on a job well done with Mewtwo's creation. The dub had added references to creating a new tank and implying that they'll stuff Mewtwo in a cage until the tank's ready, presumably to make the scientists less sympathetic before they were killed by their creation.<br />
* While Giovanni tells Mewtwo about seeing it as a valuable partner in the dub, in the Japanese version, he tells it that there is something even stronger than it in this world, to which Mewtwo replies, "Humans?" receiving a nod of acceptance from Giovanni.<br />
* Giovanni denies that Mewtwo's armor is meant to suppress its powers in the dub, stating that it is rather meant to "focus" them. In the original Japanese, Giovanni says that Mewtwo's job is to fight for Team Rocket.<br />
* In the scene of Mewtwo alone in Giovanni's headquarters, no dialogue was originally heard. In the dub, Mewtwo thinks about its purpose.<br />
* In the original release for the movie, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} twice. It is unknown whether this was mistakenly repeated or intentionally done for dynamic effect, but it would seem to be a mistake as this was corrected when the digitally remastered version came out.<br />
* When Meowth complains about his hunger, Jessie takes out a frying pan and states that she could cook something, to which Meowth replies "Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you took out eight of my nine lives." In the Japanese version, Jessie simply points out that she has a frying pan, to which Meowth replies that without meat and vegetables, it is nothing more than an iron pan.<br />
* Miranda's story about the power of Pokémon tears to revive people only exists in the English version. Originally, she only says that the storm is the greatest she has ever seen.<br />
* During the opening song after {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's Donphan, Ash's mouth moves. He says nothing in the Japanese version, while in the dub there is a dialogue.<br />
* In the original Japanese version, Ash and {{an|Brock}} comment that they are fortunate that a boat appeared. In various dubs, this was changed to a reference to vikings:<br />
** In the English dub, when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says "''Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed."), and Ash replies "''Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.''" ("Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.") This is probably a reference to the fact that at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.<br />
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says "''Vikingerne er et band.''" ("The Vikings is a band.") This is likely a reference to The Vikings, an old Swedish band.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}}, Brock says "''Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.") and Ash replies "''Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.''" ("Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway"). Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.<br />
*** Additionally, when Jessie poses as a Viking, she speaks with a fake Norwegian accent, adding the stereotypical word ''akkurat'', meaning "correct" in Norwegian, at the end of her sentence.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, Ash replies that the Vikings mostly live in {{wp|Scandinavia}}.<br />
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} dub, [[Misty's Staryu]] makes no sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the movie, Staryu's voice can be heard twice.<br />
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Corey is referred to as [[Gary Oak]].<br />
* When Mewtwo first speaks to the gathered Trainers via its caretaker, the Japanese version has Misty remarking on its voice in shock, with Brock directly stating that its using telepathy to communicate. The English dub merely has Misty directly asking how Mewtwo is able to speak, with Brock merely stating that it is "psychic" without directly confirming its use of telepathy.<br />
* In the dub, the Pokémon Replication System switches between a female computer voice and the recorded voice of Dr. Fuji. In the original version, Dr. Fuji's is the only voice.<br />
** In the dub, Dr. Fuji's message was made to sound like it was being recorded while Mewtwo was destroying the laboratory, with the sounds of explosions and screaming occasionally heard at the background. This is not the case in the Japanese version.<br />
* When the clones emerge into the arena, Mewtwo was originally confused by their sudden appearance. In the dub, Mewtwo proudly presents its clones, appearing to have somewhat expected their arrival.<br />
* In the English dub, specifically during the speech Mew gives to Mewtwo, Mew says that shows of force prove nothing, and real strength comes from the heart; in the original Japanese version, Mew is much more bellicose, saying that only the original Pokémon are real, and no matter how much they fight, the real ones will never lose to copies.<br />
* While the original and clone Pokémon battle, the background music is different in both versions: the Japanese version plays a variation of ''[[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Best#Tracklist 2|Colossal Battle]]''{{tt|*|listed as 1997-1998＿M14}} followed by soft instrumental music, while the English version plays ''[[Brother My Brother]]'', a song promoting peace.<br />
* The English script contains an anti-racism moral. Meowth, agreeing with his clone, says, "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?" In the original version, Meowthtwo refuses to fight because it is pointless and harmful, opting instead to marvel at the full moon, which Meowth calls poetic.<br />
* When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try to bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one example being the facetious "My [[Bicycle#Trivia|bike]]..."<br />
* Mewtwo says much less at the end of the original version, telling Mew that these events are best forgotten, and only saying to Ash that the clones will live somewhere in the {{pkmn|world}}.<br />
* In the English dub, after being returned back to the port, Brock admires how beautiful [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are. In the original Japanese version of the movie, Brock is admiring Miranda as well.<br />
* [[James]] and Meowth originally said nothing just before the credits rolled.<br />
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub used the original Japanese version of the movie. As such, characters that had not appeared in the main series, such as {{an|Amber}}, kept their Japanese names.<br />
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the English ending themes are replaced with instrumental music from the American soundtrack.<br />

<i>Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had ambitious plans to take over the world, involving his latest experiment, a powerful clone of Mew—Mewtwo. Mewtwo is very powerful, and also very smart—smart enough to not want to be controlled by Giovanni. It escaped from the lab, and now Mewtwo begins to concoct its own scheme, clandestinely inviting a number of Pokémon Trainers to the ultimate test. Of course, if it's an event for talented Trainers, Ash Ketchum will be right in the front row!<br />
<br />
Ash's excitement turns to fear and anger when Mewtwo reveals its plan for domination, creating powerful clones of all of the kids' Pokémon so it can even the "imbalance" between Pokémon and their Trainers. Despite Ash's protests, Mewtwo refuses to believe that Pokémon and people can be friends. But faced with the determination of a young Trainer and the love of his Pokémon, Mewtwo just might have to reconsider, especially when pitted against the power of the mysterious Mew!</i><br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
{{an|Dr. Fuji}}, wanting to find a way to restore life by cloning, leads an expedition to [[Guyana]] after finding evidence of a shrine dedicated to {{p|Mew}}, the world's most powerful—but now said to be extinct—Pokémon. {{an|Giovanni}}, the leader of [[Team Rocket]], funds Fuji's research in return for an enhanced, living replica of Mew. Finding a fossil of Mew, Fuji and his team create {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. Upon gaining consciousness, a confused Mewtwo asks itself who it is, what it is, and where it came from. Just then, Mewtwo fully wakes up in a stasis tube in one of Fuji's laboratories, where the scientists study it. Mewtwo breaks out of its test tube; Dr. Fuji tells Mewtwo that it was made by [[human]]s and is a clone of, but much more powerful than Mew. Mewtwo is angry that the scientists see it more as an end result to their project and less of a sentient being, so it destroys the lab and kills all of the scientists. Dr. Fuji says to himself that he succeeded in creating the world's most powerful Pokémon before dying at the hands of Mewtwo. Then, Giovanni arrives in his private helicopter and offers to help Mewtwo focus its powers. Mewtwo takes up the offer, and is put in a suit of armor.<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks, Mewtwo does most of Team Rocket's dirty work, capturing [[wild Pokémon]] and beating any {{pkmn|Trainer}} that challenges the [[Viridian Gym]], including [[Gary Oak]]. When Giovanni tells Mewtwo his own twisted way of controlling Pokémon, Mewtwo angrily blasts away, destroying its armor, and vows from atop the island it was created on to begin its reign on Earth.<br />
<br />
[[File:Messenger Dragonite.png|thumb|left|250px|A Dragonite shows up to deliver an invitation]]<br />
Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} are preparing for lunch until a Trainer named [[Raymond]] shows up and challenges Ash, who is happy to oblige. With his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}}, and Pikachu, Ash easily beats Raymond. What he doesn't know is that he's being watched, not only by Team Rocket, but by a mysterious third party. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who were also watching the battle, don't have any food and watch hungrily as the gang eats Brock's cooking. Suddenly, a {{p|Dragonite}} flies in with a letter for Ash and {{ashfr}}. It projects a hologram of a mysterious woman who tells the Trainers to head to [[Old Shore Wharf]] in order to get to an island fortress called [[New Island]].<br />
<br />
Later, as a storm brews, the gang arrive at the [[Pokémon Center]], whose [[Nurse Joy]] has been missing for quite a while. [[Officer Jenny]] informs the Trainers gathered that the ferry to New Island has been cancelled. {{OBP|Miranda|M01}}, the pier master tells them that she has lived on the pier all her life and that the current storm is the fiercest she's ever seen. She then tells a story to everyone present about how some people died in a storm many years ago, however legend has it that the tears of a Pokémon restored the people to life.<br />
<br />
Soon, most of the other Pokémon Trainers—ignoring Jenny and Miranda's warnings—take off for New Island. Ash and the gang are eager to follow, but none of their Pokémon are strong enough to handle the giant waves. Team Rocket, under disguise, give Ash and the gang a boat ride. Later, Team Rocket's disguise was uncovered. However, the storm proves too much for them, and as the strong wind and waves hit against the boat, it capsized and everyone was sent into the ocean. The gang saved themselves by using Ash's Squirtle and [[Misty's Staryu]] to get all the way to New Island.<br />
<br />
As the heroes barely arrive at New Island, the mystery woman from the hologram letter greets them and takes them to the dining room to meet the other Trainers who arrived safely. Brock says that she looked familiar, however, the woman denies it and shows them to the castle.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, as Team Rocket try to get inside the fortress, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{OBP|Mew|M01}} senses something troubling and arrives at New Island, and follows closely behind Team Rocket.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mewtwo M01.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo greets Trainers to New Island]]<br />
As they arrive in the dining room, Ash and the gang meet three Pokémon Trainers named [[Neesha]], [[Fergus]], and [[Corey]]. Just then, the mystery woman introduces everybody in the room to her master, who is revealed to be none other than Mewtwo. Fergus insults Mewtwo, who sends him flying. Fergus has his {{p|Gyarados}} attack with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Mewtwo easily reflects it. Then, Mewtwo releases the woman from its power, Brock quickly catches her, and it is revealed that the mystery woman is the missing Nurse Joy. Mewtwo tells the Trainers that humans are weak and cruel, and have made all Pokémon their slaves. It also says that Pokémon are no better off, since they choose to associate with humans.<br />
<br />
As Team Rocket get into the fortress and make their way into a laboratory, they come across a weird-looking machine, a computer, and several Pokémon sleeping in giant pods. Jessie accidentally sits on the computer controls, which play back a recorded message from Dr. Fuji about the fossilized eyelash of Mew that was used to create Mewtwo. Suddenly, the machine takes a piece of hair from Meowth to create a clone of him. Summoned by Mewtwo, the cloned Pokémon awaken and exit to their master.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo leads Ash and the other Trainers into the stadium part of the fortress and suggests that they should battle Pokémon to see who is the strongest, the clones versus the originals. [[Ash's Charizard]], Corey's {{p|Venusaur}}, and Neesha's {{p|Blastoise}} are no match for Mewtwo's clones. Mewtwo then summons its own specialized [[Poké Ball]]s, the Mewtwo Balls, and uses them to capture Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise, claiming them as its prize. Mewtwo then announces that the other Pokémon will be taken to be cloned. The clones will remain safe on the island while Mewtwo's storms destroy the planet. Mewtwo then sends the Balls after the Pokémon.<br />
<br />
[[File:Neesha Vileplume.png|thumb|left|250px|Neesha attempts to protect her Pokémon]]<br />
Immediately, all the Trainers are on the run. Some Pokémon are captured before they realize what's happening, some attempt to outrun the Mewtwo Balls and some attempt to use their attacks to defend themselves. However, it proves to be useless as nearly all the Pokémon end up being captured one by one. Ash deduces that Pokémon inside their Poké Balls should be safe from capture and [[recall]]s {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, it turns out to be no use, as the Mewtwo Balls instead capture the {{i|Poké Ball}}s whole with Bulbasaur and Squirtle still inside. Brock suggests carrying the Pokémon away, but while Misty successfully hides {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside her [[bag|backpack]], {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} and {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} aren't so lucky and are also caught.<br />
<br />
{{AP|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon still uncaptured, and as a result he's now the only target of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash uses his body to block them, giving Pikachu a chance to run. Pikachu heads towards a nearby suspended staircase and uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to take out a few of the Mewtwo Balls. Ash follows him up the staircase. Pikachu is forced to use his Thunder Shock every few seconds, which in combination with constantly being on the run, leaves him exhausted. As a result, Pikachu is forced off the staircase while dodging the Balls, falling a long way. Ash jumps off after Pikachu to protect him, but before he can grab his friend, a Mewtwo Ball finally manages to capture Pikachu. Ash grabs the Ball before he falls into the pool of water at the base of the staircase, and loses his grip on it underwater. Ash follows it, out of the pool, and towards the entrance to the laboratory where Team Rocket is.<br />
<br />
The same machine that cloned Meowth earlier is now processing all of the Mewtwo Balls, and Ash grabs the one Pikachu is in just as the machine does as well. Fighting against the machine's many arms, Ash eventually manages to get the Mewtwo Ball away, destroying the machine in the process. Pikachu is released from the Mewtwo Ball and shakes himself off. Happily, he reunites with Ash, but the clones are now freed from their stasis tubes, prepared to join Mewtwo. The remaining Mewtwo Balls are released from the machine in an explosion, and all open to free the Pokémon inside, including Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and their Poké Balls.<br />
<br />
Mewtwo releases the other humans and is soon joined by its clone army. Ash emerges from the smoke with his and every Trainer's Pokémon and proclaims that they won't let Mewtwo's plan succeed. He tries to punch Mewtwo, but Mewtwo's force field knocks him down. Ash goes in for another punch, but this time Mewtwo sends him flying at a high point of the castle. Ash is saved from the blow by a large, pink bubble. Then Mew comes onto the scene, having created the bubble that protected Ash. The playful Pokémon is soon targeted by a {{m|Shadow Ball}} from its clone, Mewtwo, who says that clones are far more powerful than the originals. Mew communicates with Mewtwo that a Pokémon's real strength comes from the heart, which is translated by Meowth. Disgusted, Mewtwo throws another Shadow Ball at Mew, who dodges it, but the blast hits Ash. With Mewtwo blocking all the Pokémon's special moves, a widespread melee begins between the Pokémon and their clones.<br />
<br />
[[File:Mewtwo Shadow Ball.png|thumb|250px|Mewtwo launches a Shadow Ball at Mew]]<br />
Ash survives the blast, but is horrified to see all the Pokémon fighting their clones, especially Pikachu getting slapped endlessly by his [[Pikachutwo|clone]]. He eventually falls back down to the stadium floor, prompting Misty, Brock, and Nurse Joy to come to his aid. They see now how horrible this kind of fighting is, and that the originals and clones will never give up, resulting in their deaths. Ash realizes someone has to take a stand and refuse to fight, like Pikachu is.<br />
<br />
As Team Rocket also look on in horror, Meowth talks with his clone about how, no matter how different people are, they all share a lot in common on this planet.<br />
<br />
Just as Mew and Mewtwo are emanating large auras of psychic energy in preparation for their most powerful energy blasts, Ash, frightened and angered by the continuous fighting, runs between them, demanding them to stop that futile battle. The two blasts of energy strike with Ash in the crossfire, and due to the magnitude of concentrated power, Ash is turned to stone.<br />
<br />
The stadium becomes silent, save for Pikachu, who runs to Ash's side. After trying to wake him up, Pikachu uses his Thunderbolt in vain, as Ash stays unmoving and no sign of life. Pikachu begins to cry at losing his best friend, as do the rest of the Pokémon in the stadium due to Ash's noble and bravery sacrifice in the name of their salvation. The tears of all the Pokémon come together and magically revive Ash, bringing him back to life just like in the story Miranda told earlier.<br />
<br />
After witnessing all of this, Mewtwo states that it does not matter who is more powerful, that the clones and originals both have value, and that the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant: it is what one does with life that determines one's destiny. Mewtwo also says that it would be best if no one knew about what happened. When Mewtwo flies off, it tells Ash that it will find a place where it and the clones can live in peace. As a result, all of the memories of this event are erased from the Trainers' minds.<br />
<br />
Ash, Misty, Brock, and everyone else instantly find themselves back at the Pokémon Center with no memory of their adventure on New Island. Nurse Joy is also back, offering shelter from the storm. Going out to the pier, Ash sees Mew in the clouds as the storm ends and tells Misty and Brock that [[EP001|when his journey began]] he saw a {{an|Ho-Oh|mysterious Pokémon}}, and now he believes he just saw another. Misty thinks that Ash was just imagining it, but Brock points out that maybe he wasn't. With that, the three friends prepare to continue their journey.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Team Rocket, on the now-empty and green New Island and with no clue how they got here, decide to take a vacation as the credits begin to roll.<br />

[[File:Mewtwo in armor.png|thumb|220px|Giovanni controlled Mewtwo with a special suit of armor]]<br />
The episodes ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' feature {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} in scenes that prelude this movie. These episodes were supposed to air before the movie premiere, but due to the anime's four-month hiatus after the seizures caused by the [[Banned episodes|banned episode]] [[EP038]], the episodes ended up airing on September 17, 24, and October 8, 1998, respectively, whereas the movie premiered on July 18.<br />
<br />
The scene in which Nidoking and Arcanine battle Mewtwo is adapted from Gary's battle against Giovanni in ''The Battle of the Badge'', but there are several differences between the two versions. The movie has a different perspective and animation, mostly evident in Mewtwo's appearance, which is more cartoony in the episode as opposed to the elaborate design of its armor in the movie. Mewtwo's whole body glows when it uses Psychic against Nidoking and Arcanine in the episode, but only its eyes glow in the movie. Mewtwo's chin is covered by its armor in the movie, but it is exposed in the episode. It is unknown whether this is an error or design change, since what looks like the chin could have been part of the armor if colored differently. Giovanni's position also differs: he stands up and walks forward before sending out Mewtwo in the episode, but stays seated in the movie.<br />
<br />
In ''It's Mr. Mime Time'', Mewtwo makes a cameo when the Rocket Trio go to {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}, apologize to Giovanni, and have a brief video chat with him. The upward-panning shot of Mewtwo uses the same animation of when Mewtwo is first shown in its armor, though this scene chronologically took place after the scene in the movie.<br />
<br />
The scene of Mewtwo blasting out of Team Rocket HQ in ''Showdown at the Po-ké Corral'' is also shown in the movie's prologue. The explosion in the episode has a different perspective and animation, but both shots of Mewtwo flying away use the same animation. The shot of Giovanni's helicopter taking off in this episode uses the same animation (played in reverse) of the same helicopter landing on New Island in the movie.<br />
<br />
==Alternate versions==<br />
===''Kanzenban'' version===<br />
In Japan the theatrical version had only two home video releases (VHS, February 12, 1999; LaserDisc, July 17, 1999) and was never shown on TV. A new version of the movie, known as the ''kanzenban'' (Japanese: 完全版 ''full version''), has been shown in all television airings in Japan (the first one being on July 8, 1999) and in the Japanese home video releases from the third one (VHS, November 12, 1999) onward: this version contains additional scenes and CGI edits.<br />
<br />
====Additional scenes====<br />
{{main|The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin}}<br />
A ten-minute short known as (Japanese: '''{{tt|ミュウツーの誕生|Mewtwo no Tanjō}}''' ''The Birth of Mewtwo'') was added at the beginning of the movie in the "kanzenban" version: this short details the history of Mewtwo's creation (based on the radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]''), increasing the movie's length from 75 to 85 minutes and the prologue's length from 10 to 20 minutes. Although the ''kanzenban'' was created to be later used in the United States, the North American theatrical version (November 12, 1999) removed the short while still using the footage from the ''kanzenban'' for the rest of the movie instead of the footage from the Japanese theatrical version. On March 21, 2000, ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'' was released in home video in the United States, and both the VHS and the DVD included the first two minutes of the short dubbed in English as '''The Story of Mewtwo's Origin''': in the VHS these scenes were added to the beginning of the movie while in the DVD they were included as an extra. On June 23, 2000, a Japanese DVD of the movie was released with both a Japanese and an English audio track, and this marked the first time the full English dubbed version of the short was available; it was later included under the title '''The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin''' in the Special Features of the international DVD of ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', released on August 17, 2001 in Australia and on December 4, 2001 in the United States.<br />
* The first scene (the only one that was included on the American VHS/DVD release of the movie) centered around a group of explorers who found an ancient engraving of Mew and a fossil of its eyelash.<br />
* The second detailed {{an|Dr. Fuji}}'s attempts to clone {{an|Amber|his daughter}}, who had died as a child, Mew, and the Kanto starters.<br />
* The final scene detailed a young Mewtwo's telepathic interaction with clones of the [[Kanto]] starters and Amber Fuji.<br />

====CGI edits====<br />
All the following edits were made for the "kanzenban" and then used in international releases of the movie:<br />
* In the wide shot of Mewtwo facing Dr. Fuji, who is explaining to it how it was created, two large test tubes were shown positioned on either side of the screen in front of the characters and magnifying them. These were pushed off to the edge of the screen in the newer version of the film.<br />
* When Mewtwo is being suited up with armor, Giovanni is covered in shadow (much like his first appearances in the anime). In the newer version the scene was changed so he could be seen better, probably because his identity in the anime had already been revealed in ''[[EP063|Battle of the Badge]]''.<br />
* A CGI panning effect was added to the Gym floor when Mewtwo battles a Trainer's {{p|Onix}}.<br />
* When Mewtwo first summons the storm, the shadow color on its hand is changed from purple to pinkish-red.<br />
* Mew floating up to the surface of the water in a bubble was completely re-animated.<br />
* Throughout the film, the original hand-drawn clouds of Mewtwo's storm are replaced with more realistic-looking CGI clouds. The water in the storm is also altered to have different shades of blue.<br />
* Mewtwo's castle is changed from hand-drawn to CGI.<br />
* The shot of the big doors opening was replaced with CGI doors. When the door closes in front of Ash, the scene now pans all the way back to Team Rocket facing the door when it was originally a {{wp|Dissolve (filmmaking)|dissolve}}.<br />
* Another CGI panning effect was added for the shot of Rhyhorn charging toward Mewtwo.<br />
* The big reveal of Mewtwo's stadium was rendered with CGI.<br />
* The scene of Ash walking forward with all the rescued Pokémon was altered to have them fade into sight. In the original, they were drawn as black silhouettes slowly walking outward through the smoke and their bodies interacted with it more. This was also seen in the US trailer of ''Pokémon the First Movie''.<br />
* When Ash is looking down at the Pokémon fighting their clones, they were all originally drawn as silhouettes.<br />
* The tears of life from the Pokémon were changed to CGI.<br />

===Digitally remastered version===<br />
Similar to ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' and ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', the ''Kanzenban'' version of this movie was digitally remastered to HD, complete with slight color correction. An error is also corrected where [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Machamp}} now comes out of its [[Poké Ball]] only once. It was released on Blu-Ray in Japan on November 28, 2012 with a boxset containing all the movies up to [[M13]], and aired on May 3, 2013 on [[TV Tokyo]]. The dub (which retains the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] audio) aired on Cartoon Network January 4, 2014, and was re-released on [[Pokémon TV]] June 6, 2015. In addition to all of the changes in the Japanese version, [[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]] is once again cut out, along with the Alakazam error in the Cartoon Network version. The opening{{tt|*|Cartoon Network version only, they are removed from the Pokémon TV version}} and ending{{tt|*|Pokémon TV re-release only}} credits are retyped in a [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] font instead of {{wp|Comic Sans}}, and the copyright year 2014 (2015 for the re-release) was added to the end of the credits. The Warner Bros. distribution screen at the end was removed.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Fourth Trainer.png|thumb|200px|The fourth Trainer seen on the far right before leaving]]<br />
[[File:Female Trainer M01 Fearow.png|thumb|200px|The female Trainer leaving for New Island on a Fearow]]<br />
* This {{pkmn|movie}} was released between [[EP054]] and [[EP055]] in Japan. However, it chronologically takes place sometime after [[EP065]], where Mewtwo is seen escaping from {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. This mismatch was caused by the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]] causing the {{pkmn|anime}} to be put on hiatus for several months.<br />
* At ten minutes, this movie has the longest prologue. The prologue was further extended to 20 minutes in the Japanese extended version and twelve minutes in the international extended version.<br />
** According to [[Takeshi Shudō]], the prologue was only added after it was clear that the hiatus would cause the tie-in episodes to air after the movie premiere.<ref>http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167.shtml</ref> Originally, Mewtwo would first appear onscreen when it revealed itself to the Trainers on [[New Island]].<br />
* According to Takeshi Shudo's notes on the movie, {{Ash}} was petrified but not killed when Mewtwo and Mew's {{m|Psychic}} blasts collided with him, and the tears simply restored him.<br />
* Some of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} on the poster did not appear in the movie.<!--which ones?--><br />
* Several [[move]]s were used by Pokémon in this movie that were not yet available in the {{pkmn|games}}. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Blastoisetwo}} used {{m|Rapid Spin}}, and [[Raymond]]'s {{p|Donphan}} (itself a Pokémon not yet available) used {{m|Rollout}}.<br />
* Other than [[Corey]], [[Fergus]], and [[Neesha]], a female fourth {{pkmn|Trainer}} takes off from the pier on the back of a Fearow. She is seen flying Fearow while Fergus and Neesha ride their {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Dewgong}}. She likely never made it to New Island, unlike the others.<br />
** She is the only character who leaves for New Island but never appears again. Mewtwo wipes the memories of everyone on New Island and transports them back to the mainland (except for Team Rocket), but this Trainer completely disappears.<br />
* Of the Pokémon seen at the gathering, only [[Misty's Togepi]] was not captured and cloned by Mewtwo due to {{an|Misty}} hiding it in her [[bag|backpack]].<br />
* Though Mewtwo owned a cloned {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Blastoise}}, they were not cloned from the Trainers' Pokémon. They were supposedly cloned from Pokémon Mewtwo had previously acquired itself. Despite this, all three of the Trainers' Pokémon were captured by Mewtwo anyway.<br />
** These three Pokémon are the fully-evolved forms of {{DL|Mewtwo (M01)|Befriended|Mewtwo's childhood friends}}, who died when Mewtwo was young.<br />
* This is the only movie that does not feature Ash on the English cover.<br />
* In Japan, this movie (paired with the ''Pikachu's Vacation'' short) was released on {{wp|LaserDisc}}, being the only Pokémon media to be released on this medium.<br />
* The North American VHS release features an introduction to the tape's contents by {{an|Professor Oak}}, utilizing footage from [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture|his lecture]] on Alakazam from [[EP066]].<br />
* Despite the English [[dub]] using the ''kanzenban'' footage, the opening of the original North American DVD release uses a hand-drawn shot of the big doors opening.<br />
* The title of this movie is also used in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Mewtwo's trailer] for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].<br />
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b70GRNYnacI movie's first trailer] showed several prominent scenes that never appear in the final cut. Most notable were scenes of Ash fleeing an explosion, a woman who looks like Misty accompanying {{OBP|Miranda|M01}} and a younger character, and {{TRT}} standing on a warship.<br />
** Largely because of the close resemblance, as well as {{AP|Pikachu}} being present, it was initially speculated that the woman in the trailer was an adult Misty. However, this was confirmed to be false by Kunihiko Yuyama during the 2019 Pokémon Anime Expo premiere of [[M22|the movie's remake]]. Instead, the woman was designed specifically for the trailer, and her resemblance to Misty was purely coincidental.<br />
<br />
===Errors===<br />
[[File:Flameless Rapidash.png|thumb|200px|Flameless Rapidash]]<br />
* {{p|Machamp}} being sent out by Raymond is shown twice.<br />
* Ash isn't shown choosing {{AP|Squirtle}}.<br />
* Early in the movie, Pikachu defeats Raymond's {{p|Golem}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which should have had no effect because Golem is a {{type|Ground}}.<br />
* Mewtwo is colored pink as it begins creating the storm. In a later shot of Mewtwo intensifying the storm, its color is corrected.<br />
[[File:Old Shore Wharf crowd comparison.png|thumb|200px|Fergus and Corey's backpacks shrink. Also, the top image shows the fourth Trainer who left for New Island.]]<br />
* In two very similar shots at the beginning and end of the movie, as [[Officer Jenny]] warns the Trainers about the storm, the backpacks of [[Corey]] and [[Fergus]] drastically shrink in size.<br />
* When Fergus releases his Gyarados into the water to ride on its back, its lips are blue instead of yellow.<br />
* When Jenny's hat flies off, the loops of Miranda's earrings are completely colored in.<br />
* In the English dub, three Pokémon are referred to by the wrong name. {{p|Pidgeot}} is called {{p|Pidgeotto}}, {{p|Scyther}} is called {{p|Alakazam}}, and {{p|Sandslash}} is called {{p|Sandshrew}}. In the audio commentary, [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] stated that they decided to leave the Alakazam error as something for the children watching to notice and because they felt it was plausible that Team Rocket could make a mistake. This was cut out for the dub of the remastered version when it was aired on Cartoon Network, but restored when it was re-released on Pokémon TV.<br />
** In addition, the closed captioning for the re-release and on Pokémon TV have Corey correctly referring to his Pokémon as a Pidgeot.<br />
* Fergus states that all of his Pokémon are {{t|Water}} types in the English dub, but he also has a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, a {{2t|Poison|Ground}}-type Pokémon.<br />
* While Ash is looking at Fergus's Pokémon in the dub, his Japanese voice can be faintly heard over the voice of the Pokémon.<br />
* When Fergus runs over to his injured Gyarados, his Nidoqueen has the color scheme of a {{p|Nidoking}}.<br />
* Right before Ash charges at Mewtwo, one frame shows {{p|Rapidash}} without its flames. This was fixed in later releases.<br />
* In the shot after Corey shows his Pokémon to Ash and his friends, Ash's pupils are entirely brown instead of mostly black with some brown.<br />
* When the clones enter with an explosion and emerge from the smoke, [[Pikachutwo]]'s black-tipped ears are the same as a normal {{p|Pikachu}}'s and Golduck is greenish teal instead of blue.<br />
* Pikachutwo's cheek pouches surge with electricity even though Mewtwo blocked the Pokémon's special abilities.<br />
** However, the Japanese dialogue says nothing about the Pokémon's abilities being blocked, and they simply clash physically out of pure hatred.<br />
* In {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, Hungama TV used the original Japanese version of this movie as a source for the Hindi dub, instead of using the English dub as is done for the episodes of the anime, resulting in several dubbing errors: <br />
** In ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]'', {{p|Charmander}}'s Japanese voice can be heard.<br />
** In one scene, a Trainer calls his {{p|Kingler}} with an unknown name.<br />
** In another scene, Neesha calls her {{p|Blastoise}} by its Japanese name, ''Kamex''.<br />
** In the cloning scene, {{MTR}} says "{{p|Chikorita}}" when speaking about {{p|Vaporeon}}.<br />
** When Meowth talks with the clone Meowth, one line in human language was said by the clone Meowth despite the fact that the clone Meowth can't speak the human language.<br />
[[File:M01 ENG Bluray Credits error.JPEG|thumb|200px|Typo listing Billy Crawford as "Bolly Crawford" in the HD remastered version]]<br />
* The retyped ending credits for the English dub of the remastered version misspell [[Don't Say You Love Me]] as Don't Say '''Your''' Love Me and accidentally list '''Bolly Crawford''' instead of Billy Crawford as the singer of the opening song.<br />
* On the DVD scene selection, {{p|Togepi}} is listed as Pokémon {{p|Chikorita|#152}}. However, prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Togepi had been given #152 in other media as well.<br />
* In the Swedish dub, when [[Jessie]] comments on Meowth's hair being cloned, her voice is computerized like the machine that speaks afterwards.<br />
<br />
===Dub edits===<br />
*The message and themes of the film were changed in the dub. The Japanese version explores ethical themes of existensialism, whereas the Englis version replaces it with an anti-violence message.<br />
* Mewtwo's personality and goal are different between the original version and dub. In the dub, Mewtwo is more boastful about its powers and certain about superiority to Mew and wants to destroy the world with a hurricane it created to get revenge on humanity. In the original version, Mewtwo is instead portrayed as a confused being and, while its motive is still to get revenge on humanity, it is not the destruction of the world by means of the storm, but the actual confrontation between Mewtwo and the Trainers that is its goal, with the storm used as a test that the Trainers had to get through (which was also briefly alluded to in the dub).<br />
* Giovanni was never mentioned by the scientists in the laboratory in the original version, and all the references to him were added in the dub.<br />
* There was no alarm sounding during Mewtwo's awakening in the Japanese version.<br />
* The dialogue in the scene where {{an|Dr. Fuji}} tells Mewtwo about its origins was altered in the dub. In the original version, Mewtwo asks if Mew is its mother or father, and when Dr. Fuji tells that neither "yes" or "no" would be a wrong answer, it asks if it was created by {{wp|God in Christianity|God}}. To this, Dr. Fuji replies that in this world, the only ones capable of creating life are God and humans, and Mewtwo was created through human science.<br />
** In addition, the Japanese version had the scientists shortly before Mewtwo's rampage merely congratulating themselves on a job well done with Mewtwo's creation. The dub had added references to creating a new tank and implying that they'll stuff Mewtwo in a cage until the tank's ready, presumably to make the scientists less sympathetic before they were killed by their creation.<br />
* While Giovanni tells Mewtwo about seeing it as a valuable partner in the dub, in the Japanese version, he tells it that there is something even stronger than it in this world, to which Mewtwo replies, "Humans?" receiving a nod of acceptance from Giovanni.<br />
* Giovanni denies that Mewtwo's armor is meant to suppress its powers in the dub, stating that it is rather meant to "focus" them. In the original Japanese, Giovanni says that Mewtwo's job is to fight for Team Rocket.<br />
* In the scene of Mewtwo alone in Giovanni's headquarters, no dialogue was originally heard. In the dub, Mewtwo thinks about its purpose.<br />
* In the original release for the movie, Raymond's Machamp is shown coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} twice. It is unknown whether this was mistakenly repeated or intentionally done for dynamic effect, but it would seem to be a mistake as this was corrected when the digitally remastered version came out.<br />
* When Meowth complains about his hunger, Jessie takes out a frying pan and states that she could cook something, to which Meowth replies "Thanks, but the last time you cooked, you took out eight of my nine lives." In the Japanese version, Jessie simply points out that she has a frying pan, to which Meowth replies that without meat and vegetables, it is nothing more than an iron pan.<br />
* Miranda's story about the power of Pokémon tears to revive people only exists in the English version. Originally, she only says that the storm is the greatest she has ever seen.<br />
* During the opening song after {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeats Raymond's Donphan, Ash's mouth moves. He says nothing in the Japanese version, while in the dub there is a dialogue.<br />
* In the original Japanese version, Ash and {{an|Brock}} comment that they are fortunate that a boat appeared. In various dubs, this was changed to a reference to vikings:<br />
** In the English dub, when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says "''Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed."), and Ash replies "''Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.''" ("Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.") This is probably a reference to the fact that at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.<br />
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says "''Vikingerne er et band.''" ("The Vikings is a band.") This is likely a reference to The Vikings, an old Swedish band.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}}, Brock says "''Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.''" ("I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.") and Ash replies "''Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.''" ("Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway"). Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.<br />
*** Additionally, when Jessie poses as a Viking, she speaks with a fake Norwegian accent, adding the stereotypical word ''akkurat'', meaning "correct" in Norwegian, at the end of her sentence.<br />
** In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, Ash replies that the Vikings mostly live in {{wp|Scandinavia}}.<br />
* In the {{pmin|France|French}} dub, [[Misty's Staryu]] makes no sound when it is released from its Poké Ball. In all other versions of the movie, Staryu's voice can be heard twice.<br />
* In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, Corey is referred to as [[Gary Oak]].<br />
* When Mewtwo first speaks to the gathered Trainers via its caretaker, the Japanese version has Misty remarking on its voice in shock, with Brock directly stating that its using telepathy to communicate. The English dub merely has Misty directly asking how Mewtwo is able to speak, with Brock merely stating that it is "psychic" without directly confirming its use of telepathy.<br />
* In the dub, the Pokémon Replication System switches between a female computer voice and the recorded voice of Dr. Fuji. In the original version, Dr. Fuji's is the only voice.<br />
** In the dub, Dr. Fuji's message was made to sound like it was being recorded while Mewtwo was destroying the laboratory, with the sounds of explosions and screaming occasionally heard at the background. This is not the case in the Japanese version.<br />
* When the clones emerge into the arena, Mewtwo was originally confused by their sudden appearance. In the dub, Mewtwo proudly presents its clones, appearing to have somewhat expected their arrival.<br />
* In the English dub, specifically during the speech Mew gives to Mewtwo, Mew says that shows of force prove nothing, and real strength comes from the heart; in the original Japanese version, Mew is much more bellicose, saying that only the original Pokémon are real, and no matter how much they fight, the real ones will never lose to copies.<br />
* While the original and clone Pokémon battle, the background music is different in both versions: the Japanese version plays a variation of ''[[Pocket Monsters Original Soundtrack Best#Tracklist 2|Colossal Battle]]''{{tt|*|listed as 1997-1998＿M14}} followed by soft instrumental music, while the English version plays ''[[Brother My Brother]]'', a song promoting peace.<br />
* The English script contains an anti-racism moral. Meowth, agreeing with his clone, says, "Maybe if we started looking at what's the same instead of always looking at what's different, well, who knows?" In the original version, Meowthtwo refuses to fight because it is pointless and harmful, opting instead to marvel at the full moon, which Meowth calls poetic.<br />
* When Pikachu is repeatedly shocking Ash to try to bring him back to life, Misty says "Pikachu..." in the Japanese version, and "Please, no..." in the English version. A commentary revealed that the dubbers had many alternatives for this piece of dialogue, one example being the facetious "My [[Bicycle#Trivia|bike]]..."<br />
* Mewtwo says much less at the end of the original version, telling Mew that these events are best forgotten, and only saying to Ash that the clones will live somewhere in the {{pkmn|world}}.<br />
* In the English dub, after being returned back to the port, Brock admires how beautiful [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] are. In the original Japanese version of the movie, Brock is admiring Miranda as well.<br />
* [[James]] and Meowth originally said nothing just before the credits rolled.<br />
* {{pmin|South Asia|Hungama TV}}'s Hindi dub used the original Japanese version of the movie. As such, characters that had not appeared in the main series, such as {{an|Amber}}, kept their Japanese names.<br />
* In the {{pmin|Russia}}n dub, the English ending themes are replaced with instrumental music from the American soundtrack.<br />
