Since Cynthia's starter Pokemon is never mentioned, I picked from a hat. :3

The road stretched endlessly before her, almost shining in the sunlight. Cynthia clasped her hand against the Pokeball at her waist, feeling the warmth from within.
"Are you ready, Chimchar?" she asked, not really expecting an answer. This was their journey, she realized, not just hers. Together, they would see the world, meet new Pokemon and people, face challenges and learn new things.
She glanced at the Pokedex Professor Rowan had entrusted her with. All those empty slots intimiated her; collecting data on all those Pokemon seemed like such a daunting task and part of her worried she wouldn't be able to do it. But she remembered his words, iyou seem like a smart girl, Cynthia. I know I can trust you/i. A surge of confidence ran through her, and she smiled.
"Let's go!"
She set off down the road, ready to embrace the adventure that awaited her.
