[text - Queen Bae] Hmmm that might be tricky.

[text - Queen Bae] I don’t think I’d be much help.

[text - Queen Bae] My suggestion is just to drink the alcohol while eating cupcakes.

wat if it’s just suddenly gone but like Alain and the prof are just calling him up cause Manon started glowing and she thinks its like super cool but they need help because the clouds wont go away

That wouldn’t really make sense with this idea because Zinnia isn’t stealing the Megalith to use on a little girl---she’s stealing the Megalith so that she can get Rayquaza to Mega Evolve so that it can destroy a meteor that’s hurtling toward the planet. I don’t know if you played the Delta Episode of ORAS, but in case you didn’t, the basic gist is:

Zinnia is from an ancient clan named the Draconids who have predicted the world’s destruction from a meteor hurtling toward the planet from deep space (which is actually fueled by Deoxys, but they didn’t know that). Legends tell of Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon’s destructive battles over the planet (as spoken of in TSME), and how Mega Rayquaza was the one to stop them. Legends further say that Mega Rayquaza will have the power needed to destroy the meteor and save the planet, and the Lorekeeper (that’s Zinnia) is supposed to be the one to summon Rayquaza, get it to Mega Evolve, and then send it off to destroy the meteor.

In order to do this, Zinnia steals Key Stones that are particularly capable of holding/have amassed large amounts of Mega Evolution energy (HMM GEE I WONDER WHO HAS ONE OF THOSE), and eventually guides the player to the Sky Pillar as she explains everything about her people and the legend et cetera. (It should be noted that Steven wanted to just send the meteor to another dimension, i.e. the world of RSE, and Zinnia was like “lol no.”) She ends up successfully summoning Rayquaza using the Key Stones and the ancient ritual of her people, but no matter what she does Rayquaza won’t Mega Evolve. Just as she is falling into despair (because her life’s work has failed and now they are all about to die), the meteorite from the player’s bag starts glowing, and the reaction from that special stone causes Rayquaza to Mega Evolve. The world is then saved, yadda yadda, of course the player gets to do it, I’m so sorry, Zinnia.

ANYWAY, in this version of events Zinnia has the benefit of prior knowledge. The Primal Kyogre/Primal Groudon event was broadcasted on international television, meaning that she would know that the Megalith would cause Rayquaza to Mega Evolve. So if they did decide to animate the Delta Episode (MY KINGDOM), they could subtly shift the events around so that it obviously takes place after all this Flare arc goodness and she steals the Megalith in order to use it on Rayquaza and force his Mega Evolution. (Good luck to her trying to steal Alan’s Key Stone, though. That would not be as easy for her as stealing the one from Birch’s kid in ORAS lmao.)

So yeah, your idea wouldn’t really work here, since Zinnia’s taking the Megalith for a very specific purpose (that, if anything, would make Manon be like “please can we not do this again” lmao). ^^ Sorry!

(And as a final note? The meteorite from Zinnia’s story sure does sound an awful lot like our fancy giant shiny rock:

“The great meteoroid was the first of many disasters to befall humanity. When it punched into the planet, the land cracked beneath it, and a great welling of natural energy poured from beneath Hoenn. Thirsting for that energy, Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon once again woke. The people had a wish—a memory from a thousand years before . . . they wished that the legendary ookémon clad in emerald light would appear again. The huge Meteorite that lay at the heart of Sootopolis gave off a boundless brilliance. In its brilliance, it resembled a vast and powerful Key Stone. And once again, Rayquaza descended from whence it came in the heavens. The people fell to their knees before Rayquaza and made a wish for salvation. As they did, a great change came over the legendary pokémon. It was enveloped in blinding light. As the light receded, they beheld a Rayquaza beyond all knowledge— a sublime figure, incandescent with overwhelming life force. It was humanity's wish that brought about Rayquaza's transformation in the face of the rainbow stone . . .”
