Pokemon recently celebrated its 25th Anniversary by bringing back some of the biggest names from the anime’s past for new battles over the course of Pokemon Journeys, and now one awesome cosplay is helping to remind fans of why Cynthia’s such a heavy hitter as the Sinnoh League Champion! As part of the 25th Anniversary anime series, Pokemon Journeys saw Ash Ketchum taking on some big names from his past, and that meant that fans got to see some of the battles that they have been asking to see for a very long time through the years of the anime franchise’s releases thus far.ย 

One of the major foes that Ash ended up facing off against on his final tournament to becoming the world champion was the Sinnoh Champion Cynthia. Fans had seen demonstrations of Cynthia’s ability through her time with Ash over the years, but the semifinals match between the two of them was the first real time that we got to see the two of them in battle. Now artist @chocolatcos0 on Instagram has brought that slick look for the champion back with some awesome cosplay! Check it out:ย
