A Day with Cynthia

Is that you, Scottie? Hello!

Did you come here to do some training as well?

I can tell you're passionate about training. Perhaps a veteran like me could give you a piece of advice?

When you give your Pokémon a command, pour as much emotion into it as you can. Pokémon respond to feelings much more than words alone.

I see. Just out for a nice, relaxing stroll, then?

We could all use a little rest here and there. It's hard to pour your emotions into your battle commands when you're feeling exhausted.

Well, I think it's about time I returned to my hotel.

I hate to run off when we've only just begun to chat...

but I have a pile of documents on my desk that is calling my name.

Yes. As you know, I'm a Pokémon Trainer, but I'm also an archeologist. It's a very busy job.

Mostly academic. As you know, I'm a Pokémon Trainer, but I'm also an archeologist. It's a very busy job.

Sometimes it feels like my stack of research papers is never-ending... It just keeps growing and growing.

And the moment I start organizing and cleaning it up, I get distracted by something else.

Frustrating, isn't it?!

I mean, I can't throw them away if I might need them someday, right?

And I use them all the time, so they need to be placed somewhere I can reach them easily, right?

You're right... I can!

Cleaning is something you should put all your effort into, and make sure you get it all done at once.

Otherwise, you'll end up doing the same thing, day after day.

Naturally, I'm the one who has to clean my own home, eventually...

That's why staying in a hotel is so nice. The lovely staff there go in and clean my room while I'm gone.

They tidy up all of my paperwork for me before my stacks get out of hand.

Thanks to them, it's easier than ever to find the documents I'm looking for! They've helped me out so much.

Likewise, when I was staying at my friend Caitlin's villa...

it didn't take long for my room there to become a mess of scattered research papers.

But Caitlin's butler was kind enough to tidy it up for me each day.

Mmm...no, maybe not.

Mmm...maybe so.

When it comes to Pokémon battling, I know exactly what I have to do.

But cleaning? I barely even know where to start, let alone what works best.

Speaking of which...

You saw my Garchomp use Earthquake a moment ago, didn't you?

How did that move make you feel while you were watching? I'm curious.

Well, I'll find out what sort of Trainer you are when we get the chance to battle...

Well, I'll find out what sort of Trainer you are when we get the chance to battle...

I'm looking forward to competing in the PML.

It'll be interesting to find out what battling means to each of the different competitors.

You included, of course! The two of us have to face off at some point, I insist.

I want you to let out all of your emotions. Show me who you truly are!

I won't let the battle end until I've had the chance to witness your true emotions!
