Quotes
Before Battle 

"One look tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokemon overcame all the challanges you faced, however difficult. It means you triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you are here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokemon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"

(Only when she is challenged the first time)

"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. (And the Distortion World.) I am truly greatful. Together, you and your Pokemon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means you triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That' enough talking. Let's get on with why you are here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge! There won't be any letup from me!"

During Battle 

(When her last Pokemon is out)

"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"

(Last Pokemon, low in health)

"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"﻿
