After defeating the Elite Four, you stand in front of the Champion of the Sinnoh region, and one of the most revered and respected Pokémon trainers in the world, Cynthia. You swear you hear an ominous piano in the background as you stare down the Champion. You know Cynthia’s team by now, Spiritomb, Roserade, Gastrodon, Lucario, Milotic and her ace, Garchomp. That Garchomp alone is known for shutting down many of her challengers dreams of becoming champion by himself.

“I take it you’ve been been keeping well? Thank you at Mt. Coronet and the Distortion World. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult it may have been. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the Pokémon League Champion, Cynthia, I accept your challenge!”

Cynthia announces, as she grabs one of her Pokeball’s and sends out Spiritomb as her first Pokémon to duel you.
