>>37558866My HC is that Cynthia never really grow out of her Goth phase and fascination with the Pokemon Devil. She became an archeologist to find out more about this mysterious Pokemon known as Giratina. Her obsession with Dawn is due to her being the perfect pure maiden.
Think about it. She knows way too much about a Pokemon that is supposedly Forbidden Knowledge, not to mention way too comfortable in the Distortion World. She even tells you Giratina wants you. All this just to free her God.
Giratina of cause only needed Dawn as a vessel to maintain his form without destroying everything in our world. As all Giratina wants is to live again. To confront Arceus and ask, why? And after all the shit Dawn has been though, she's more than willing to help.
