Donna Abbott was at the Pokemon Center when she received a letter from Cynthia in Sinnoh via the Nurse. The letter just said 'Welcome' and 'Have fun. PS: wear black'. Donna pulled out a picture of Cynthia who was really pale, too long of hair and dressed in black. "Ew!" Donna stuffed the letter in a bin. I mean there really wasn't much in it, at all. I mean there wasn't much she could do with her current Pokemon. The blonde teen figured that might as well go to the whatever was left of the contest hall to see what was what.
