Last Time Our Heroes Made Their Way To Celestic Town, To Meet The Greatest Researcher in The Sinnoh Region, Cynthia. However, When They Ask Her For Help, She Refused. After Explaining Their Objective, She Agreed; Under One Condition.

Cynthia: Face Me!

Both: What?!

Cynthia: If You Want To Get There, You Must Prove Yourselves, To Me In Combat.

Dawn: But Why?!

Cynthia: I Must Test Your Abilities, To See If Your Ready For Such A Challenge!

Paul: Fine. I Accept.

Cynthia: Very Well.

Dawn: Paul, You Can't Do This.

Cynthia: He Can, And He Will.

Paul: Then Lead The Way!

Dawn: Wait!

Paul: Huh?

Dawn: If That's The Case. Then I'm Joining In!

Paul: No....

Cynthia: Yes!

Both: Huh?

Cynthia: If You Want To Prove Yourselves, You Have To Do It Together!

Paul: I Refuse.

Cynthia And Dawn: ???

Paul: I May Be Arrogant. But I'll Never Fight Dirty!

Cynthia: Heh! Looks Like Ash Was Right. You Do Underestimate Your Opponents.

Paul: Huh?

Dawn: Wait! You Know Him?

Cynthia: Guess He Never Told You. I'm His Cousin.

Paul: What?!

Dawn: His Cousin?!

Cynthia: I Know All About Your Rescue Mission.

Dawn: You Do?!

Cynthia: A Few Days Ago, He Came Here Asking For My Help.

Dawn: ......

Paul: So You Lead Him To New Moon Island?

Cynthia: No!

Paul Looks At Her Confused

Cynthia: He Knew The Battle Against Darkrai, Wasn't A Cake Walk. So He Challenged Me To A Battle.

Dawn: And Who Won?

Cynthia: It Was A Draw.

Paul Opened His Eyes In Disbelieve

Cynthia: He Knew You Would Come Here, Asking For My Help. So He Asked Me To Test Your Abilities In Combat.

Paul Looks At Her Seriously
