Cynthia Distortion World Backstory

It's been only over a decade since the grand revolution happened in Unova. The change that Team Plasma called "Pokemon Renaissance". Since Team Plasma's first birth, they have been an utter effective organization that bent the Unova to their own will and of course to their own glorious goal to make Unova reach it's deserved fate. A region of peace and solitude. A region where Pokemon and humans are truly equals and not just slaves to humans. No being deserved that fate. No human, no pokemon, nothing. The only way to live in harmony and peace, only way to end the Pokemon cruelty lied on removing "trainership". Which eventually did happen of course. On paper, there was no trainers left and no Pokemon used for the sake of human deeds. Unova was indeed a better place on surface. Unemployment was over the roof before Plasma. Who needed humans to carry goods when a Sawk, Throh or a Conkeldurr can do it. Who needs any plane, ship when flying, water pokemon can do that for free?

Who needs psychological support when you have Audino? Noone would talk about their nightmares when they're eaten by Musharna. Noone would use disobeying, raise asking waiters, cashiers when pokemon like Gothitelle, Lilligant do it for free. Pokemon, truly had a monopoly over everything on the region. Since for basic jobs Pokemon were used instead of humans, companies were firing more and more humans. Replacing them with almost free workers. Which resulted in an elitism on getting in the most basic jobs. No person could dream to find any simple job without a master's degree on their profession even with it, it was hard to find. Colleges exploited this situation with unnecessarily high college fees. Banks exploited it with insane debt percentages. Pokemon and humans living together as trainer and master resulted in a chaos for Unovans. Most Unovans thank Arceus those days are gone well behind. They think Team Plasma are their saviour but little they know: Ghetsis, the leader of Team Plasma was the mastermind to put all of this in action. Making Unova fall into deeper in the chaos since it really was in the chaos even before Plasma. Then rise as the saviours of the region. It has been few years after what happened in the Distortion World. The dimension of death and anti-matter. The place where nothing makes sense and nothing is alive. Cynthia was traumatised for years after encountering Giratina and had to take therapy treatment for years to come. The devil was still inside that ball that has M on it. At least that was what she thought. She never could risk carrying that ball with her, for the sake of her life and everyone else's. After long years the theraphy worked and she was feeling much better. She wasn't feeling the feeling of mortality and fragile all the time. Her nightmares of the devil and the Distortion World has finally came to an end.

Not that she was cured fully... she just learnt to live with it. Now that her mind was in her head again, she had a score to settle. With the help of her close friend Lance, she managed to get a position in Internation Police. IP has assigned her to Unova case just like she wanted, though with a little twist: She was going to have a partner on the job. She was informed that her partner would meet her in tonight's dinner. She hoped it wouldn't be another dude who hang on her, being lesbian on this job was really hard as she heard. She awaited her partner in the meeting restaurant while sipping her wine.

After years of working hard and studying she had finally done it. She had become a pokemon professor. Only to find out that the job was not for her.. With the changes that had been made by team plasma in the Unova region since she had actually started her studying, it had just become something she didn’t love. The connection between pokemon and humans had changed drastically and sometimes she wondered if it really was for the best. She had brought up her concerns with a close friend, talking about how she was not sure this was the right way to go. How she was afraid that this would eventually bite everyone in their behinds. A few weeks later she was approached by someone who was part of the Internation Police. At first it had scared her to death but it soon became clear they actually wanted to offer her a job. They needed someone who was knowledgeable about the region and about the pokemon that resided within it. They wished to investigate what was really going on in Unova and bring anyone who was doing it wrong to justice. She had taken some time to think about it, but eventually she had accepted. And that had led her to tonight. She was meeting her partner and she had no clue what that even meant. She felt ill prepared. They had barely told her anything about what she as supposed to do. Just that they needed her knowledge. She was dressed up. Her ginger hair done up and a simple green dress that came all the way down to her ankles. The restaurant that they were meeting after all, was quite fancy. She just hoped it would all go well.. @Prob Playing GW2

Cynthia was still tired from all the travels she've done through all the way to Unova. She've been to Alola, Hoenn before and in none she encountered any tiredness or whatsoever. It was just... Unova as a place was far away from other regions. Also flights there weren't as frequent as others, even though she works with IP, she had to take economy class flights like everybody else. On paper at least, though being a comfort freak she is, she upgraded her ticket to business later on. Turns out that only means a glass of orange juice, not even an alcoholic beverage or whatsoever. The border was even worse, she thought she would have been if not welcomed accepted in easily as the champion of Sinnoh region but she had to deal with even more bullshit. Filling papers about the pokemon she've brought so detailed... some admittedly she lied. Also a lot of papers she've signed to absolutly not to dare any Pokemon battle or whatsoever. Not that signing that amount of unnecessary papers were bad, they kept her wait inbetween every procedure. They really fucking hated trainers here, aren't they? Eventually she got off the airport, as promised from HQ a new black Lamborghini just for her was waiting in the parking lot... that was here for a week. Great, parking fee was going to bankrupt her already. She hated everything on this region already... not that she didn't already because of Plasma.

She later tuned "Here Comes the Sun" from The Beatles as she drove with the help of her GPS. Suspiciously, roads were quite empty. Later she arrived the modern style restaurant with a lot of whites, grays and blacks spread around the walls, chairs and tables. She was expecting a ginger woman so she heard. Due to Plasma's influence even in HQ, they couldn't afford to give her name to Cynthia. She had to guess somehow, after sipping her wine for a while she saw a ginger woman indeed entering the building. She awkwardly waved at her... hoping it wasn't a random person that was just ginger. She was filled with a month's load of embarresment today already!

She had just stepped into the place and was looking around. Her green eyes taking in her surrounding as she did. “Wow..” she couldn’t help keep the amazement from her voice as she looked at how nice everything was. She had never been to an establishment before. She had barely had time to take it all in when the noticed someone waving her down from the corner of her eyes. She looked around herself, but it was clear the wave was meant for her. Was that her contact? She had not gotten any information at all. Like they wanted to make sure to the very end that she wouldn’t change her mind. She walked over to the woman a little unsure. She had blond hair that came down to well past her chest, eyes that were sharp yet not unfriendly. To be fair, she was beautiful, but also very intimidating. “Hi uhmm.. Are you from the IP?” She asked, just wanting to make sure she got the right person before she sat down. @Prob Playing GW2

Cynthia looked the woman that just confirmed she was from IP. God bless, she waved at the right person. Cynthia herself didn't have the time, equipment or a place to prepare for a meal, not that she cared that deeply like other woman. A light makeup and her usual, dark clothing are mostly enough for any night or any day. She was well accepted to be like that by people without anyone judging her. Was it because she was the champion or simply because they liked Cynthia the way she is? "Well neither or both. It really changes." She commented to herself. Though the woman that was in front of her was way different then her. She looked fascinating when looked this close. Her light skin, ginger hair and the bright green dress was really a fashionable choice, even herself who knows shit about fashion could tell! She admitted herself she would've really weared something better, almost everyone on Sinnoh respected her naturally but on Unova she wasn't a champion. She was simply Cynthia. Cynthia smiled at the woman while looking at her to see if she carries a gun or a pokeball. This might've been a bait after all, the only place Plasma's hands won't reach were her body after all. She answered the woman's question with a smile. "Hey, yes Im from IP. My name is Cynthia, what's yours?" She held her hand to shake Vianna's.

@Nakachu

She didn’t carry any pokemon, she was a resident of Unova after all. If she was found with a imprisoned pokemon in her possession she could risk high vines, if not jail time. And with the career that she had set out to do, that would have been a very bad choice. Neither did she carry a gun, she was not a cop after all. Instead she just had a simple purse at her side that held some of her essentials. Because Cynthia was sitting down, she had not noticed that the woman actually did carry some pokeballs at her side. She couldn’t help the smile on her face as she introduced herself and offered her hand. She gladly took it. “I am Vianna, nice to meet you Cynthia.” She said and as she was now sure that this was actually the person she was supposed to meet she took her seat at the table. “Soo.. I guess you and I will be working together?” She asked, still a bit unsure. “IP barely told me anything.. just that I was supposed to meet you here and that you were not from this region.” @Prob Playing GW2

Cynthia finished her drink that was barely left anything in the glass. She quickly looked around with her eyes to see if anyone's spotting them, not that she had the eye of a braviary but still. "Nice to meet you Vianna, yes it looks like we're going to be partners in crime together for a while!" She joked to smoothen the mood. "I arrived here several hours ago and oh boy... it was painful. No wonder why tourism is dead as fuck here, getting in was impossible. I was really considering to slap one of the officers in their face after asking about my Hydreigon for 7th time. Whatever happened here surely looks serious as fuck, seeing how everything is so strict and a bit on edge." She realised she started to vent to this stranger she just met real quick... maybe unnecessarily quick. "Of course IP couldn't tell you anything, they can't afford to tell anything wide open after all. Plasma are well aware of IP's activities as well as IP think they're aware of Plasma's. But unfortunatly, I can comfortably say that Plasma has higher hand on that. When I was a newbie trainer they also tried to spread their plague to my homeland Sinnoh..." She looked around again suspiciously, they were in a fancy restaurant, no doubt there was a high ranking Plasma member here! She whispered *"After the meal mind if we move to your place? It'd be healthier to talk about it there instead of here." Then she turned to her normal voice and talked "Soo what's your occupation? I am a pokemon trainer as I mentioned. Do you work at something related to pokemon as well?" @Nakachu

“You have a Hydreigon?” Vianna asked, her eyes suddenly twinkling. She had nver seen a Hydreigon in person. They were not natural in Unova, didn’t exist here. And because imprisonment in pokeballs was forbidden she had never had a chance to really see one in person. He eyes the went to the woman belt, seeing the pokeballs there. What else was in there? Her curiosity sure was peaked, more then peaked even. “I mean.. yeah, very strict!” She said quickly, not wanting to come over as a weirdo to the woman in front of her. “Uhm.. yeah sure, after the meal.” She said, had this woman just invited herself to her house? Ooh god, she didn’t even know if she had cleaned up properly. She just had to hope that there was nothing laying around that was not supposed to be there. A waiter came over to hand them the menu and the moment she looked at it her eyes went a bit wide at the prices. Damn.. “I am a pokemon professor. Or at least.. I tried to be a pokemon professor.” She said then with a chuckle. “It is kind of hard to do my job without trainers helping you with important research information.” She explained as she shrugged. “And it just isn’t the same anymore then when I started. So little pokemon still left, except for those in the wild.” @Prob Playing GW2

"Yeah, when I first got him he was a Deino. It was a gift to me back when I was younger. We've been through a lot, I have never let him leave my side for a second. I will die to protect him and he will die to protect me." She explained excitedly. She loved bragging about her hydreigon. Cynthia caught Vianna's eyes on her other pokeballs. She seemed to be pretty interested in her other pokemon, maybe pokeballs themselves. Who knows? She explained. "I dont carry 6 pokemon with me usually. When Im out there it's only my Hydreigon, sometimes fans want to battle here and there so I give a quick show battle to them. Right now I have my Hydreigon, Vaporeon, Zoroark, Roserade and Genesect. From those, only my Hydreigon was on the league with me. Others are my more casual pokemon. Maybe I can show them around for you sometime." Cynthia's eyes wide opened when she heard Vianna was a pokemon professor. "Oh! Oh are you a professor?... Ah I see. When I was younger I was helping my professor with his Pokedex too. I never get the chance to finish it but still Im glad he put me on this journey." She frowned "Wild Pokemon are dangerous without a rifle or a pokemon with you though. Do you think is it safe like that? Maybe you can study my Pokemon." She checked the menu to see the prices were as high as league's menu. It made sense for there since there was no civilization around it but here, in the middle of the city. It was really outrageous! "I want a pasta with shrimps. What about you?" @Nakachu

She couldn’t help but smile softly as she talked about her bond with her pokemon. She remember that, remembered seeing that when she was younger, before Plasma got a hold of everything. She missed that. Sure there were parts of the changes she agreed with, but to lose that bond. It was so sad. Pokemon in the unova region had basicly gone back to being wild. Her telling her what else she carried with her and her interest was already peaked, but once she mentioned a Genesect she couldn’t help but have her eyes shoot up to her. She had only ever read about Genesect. How it had been revived from a fossil and then modified by modern means. It had always interested her to see one. Yet this didn’t seem the time to go all over her about that. “Yes.. finished my study and everything!” She said with an almost shy chuckle. “But the job changed a lot since I started that study.” She admitted. “I usually carry some kind of protection when I go out. I would love to have a pokemon to help me with that, but they don’t allow it. Not even for personal protection.” She said. As she seemed to decide over her food she quickly looked down again as well. “I uhmm.. will take the Chicken Parmesan. She decided before looking back up. “I would absolutely love to get a look at your pokemon.” She admitted. “It has been years since I have been able to study anything up close like that..” @Prob Playing GW2

Cynthia waved a waiter to order for the food. "Ahh... we'd like a pasta with shrimps, chicken parmesan..." she said parmesan in a weird accent that waiter could understand but still unusual at Unova. "... and aaaaa..." She hovered her eyes at the menu. "... Yes! Red wine with cherry flavor. Thank you." She nodded to the waiter as the waiter left the duo to deliver the orders. She closed the menu and put it on the side of the table. She adored Vianna's smile when Cynthia was telling about her pokemon. Vianna really must be one of those professors that do the tutoring and researching because of her love to pokemon not because of fame, guaranteed payment or easy access to riches. She knew a lot of so called professors that passed their trials and thesises by using their high ranking acquaintances. "Hmmm... just manmade protection would get you so far. I dont see why they dont let you use guns if they don't allow you to have pokemon. I mean dont get me wrong, Im not a murderous freak that hunts pokemon for fun. But if one is attacked by one if them, they have fight back and protect themselves you know. They can be really really dangerous, if I say so myself." She remembered Giratina as she said that with a pout. "But still, maybe we can go out together. Im sure with my pokemon on your side you can have much faster progression! And yes you can check my pokemon anytime you want. Especially Genesect, I havent seen anyone own one other than me to be honest!" She was bored with Pokemon talk though. As a champion not like she talked about something else. A little gossip, chitchat or literally anything else would work fine. "Soo... are you married?" @Nakachu

She had been about to open her mouth, wanting to comment on everything that she had said. Wanting to agree to going out with her pokemon as protection, wanting to do her research again. But then she suddenly dropped that little piece of a question on her. “Soo… Are you married?” Vianna instantly felt her cheeks get red, a soft blush covering her cheeks. “I.. I am not.” She said as she hunched her shoulders a little bit. She was plenty old enough to have a relationship at least, but Vianna had never been sucesfull in that aspect of her life. She had tried with a few guys, but she had always been to busy with her studies to keep anyone around. “I honestly am impressed by people who can actually have a relationship while studying to be a professor.” She admitted. “So.. No, I am single.” She admitted. “You?” @Prob Playing GW2

Cynthia chukled at Vianna's take. It was true, for some of professors at least. They really had to study hard and also make an international thesis approved by a professor of every region to become one. One really mustn't have time to raise her head from work not even having a solid relationship to be a professor. In legal and fair ways at least. Though, she heard from Lance what kind of Professor, Oak was. Lance wasn't even trained in Kanto, he was raised in Johto in She could imagine what other so called professors has reached such ranking. "I am also single too. At some point it's hard to understand if someone's trying to hook on me because Im the champion, rather ex champion nowadays, or is it because they really like me." She shrugged. "I cant get rid of that suspicion in my head." She showed her head with her index finger. "I think this whole suspicion might be even the very reason why rich and succesfull only hook up with such, else it just wont work." She finished her pasta. "Though, just because I dont have a girlfriend it doesnt mean Im single. I raised my Hydreigon and Vaporeon as much as they raised me! I see them as my brothers and sisters at this point, not just my pokemon. They're, the family I never had..." Her eyes turned to the window for a moment, like this place had a special meaning for her. "Say... do you still see your parents time to time?"
