[[WMG: [[spoiler: Cyrus and Lysandre have teamed up to remake the world in this new timeline.]]]]
[[spoiler: It will turn out that Cyrus has his memories as well, or at least was able to deduce things based on his own logic and desires and how there seems to be a spike in powerful foes he will have to face. As such, not only has he been able to find a way to avoid detection by Ash and co., but he also runs into Lysandre, whose own personal motives are extremely similar to his own. I bring up Lysandre because I find it very fishy that the author brought up Team Flare in the aftermath of the Delta Episode, and Serena being introduced at all is equally strange despite the story originally being set after a time reset during late Unova. I don't believe this is a coincidence. What might happen is that the two wannabe universal reshapers, having found kindred spirits in each other, have pooled their collective resources into ensuring their overall victory, thus also relocating to somewhere between Kalos and Sinnoh.]]
[[spoiler:Of course on the other hand it could be that it's only a temporary a team up of convenience, and that in reality they plan to drop the other like a sack of potatoes. I could imagine Cyrus finding Lysandre too controlled by his emotions and spirit, while Lysandre finds Cyrus to be a cold bastard (and with terrible fashion sense on top of that), thus resulting in a bigger Good Guys vs Team Galactic vs Team Flare smorsgabord near the end.]]
[[WMG: When Ash gets back to Unova again...]]
He just might run into N and win him over without having to go through the whole plot of [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackandWhite Black and White]]
* I hate to do a pre-Jossing for you but this fanfiction is based on the anime: Team Plasma hasn't shown up yet in the series.
* The pre-Jossing has been rendered invalid. N is set to appear.
* With [[spoiler: N reading Mewtwo's book]] this looks fairly likely.
* [[spoiler: It appears as if the plot of Episode N is short-circuiting in the course of the Battle Frontier, with N having doubts as to attempting to raise Reshiram the first time.]]
** [[spoiler: And is officially short-circuited as Reshiram not only thinks Ghetsis is utter scum, but also leaves with N to explore the modern world.]]
[[WMG: During the Orange Island business and after picking up Snorlax.....]]

[[WMG: The Johto arc will have a sequence breaking]]
The break is Ash heading to Cianwood Island to battle Chuck and get the medicine for Sparkle before dealing with Olivine City. He arrives to see the reason why Janina decided to put wax on her Onix -- a sickness brought on by a water Pokémon attack.
* Jossed. No mention of Janina or her waxed Onix is made. Ash just uses Suicune to run to Cianwood, get the medicine, and run back. He does still battle Chuck before Jasmine though, to allow her to make sure Amphy heals properly.
[[WMG: In Hoenn, he helps Birch with a problem in his lab.]]
The problem is an annoyed female Kirlia. Kirlia is the same Ralts that was befriended by Max, May's little brother, and became his starting Pokémon before the first timeline ended. Soon after, solving this problem, he restores May and her Torchic's memories. Torchic tells May and Ash that he also learned Blast Burn. Max gets Kirlia back when his memories are restored.
* The only problem with this is that it's a kirlia. Ralts was still a Ralts at this time. Although, if Ash restores it's memory it might turn into a kirlia.
** Jossed. May and Max's memories were restored at the end of the Orange Island saga, and Max's starter was Electrike. He meets up with Ralts and his family at the usual point in the timeline, and the Ralts joins his team while his family goes to live with the Maples.
** Torchic/Blaziken doesn't know Blast Burn when Ash restored his memories either.
[[WMG: In Sinnoh, Ash quickly restores two people memories....]]
...Those are Dawn and Paul. Turns out Paul was at the Spear Pillar trying to help Gary out against Cyrus.
* I doubt Paul was there, seeing how Gary was the only (high-end) Trainer around in the original timeline who could face Cyrus.
** Jossed. Dawn's memory has been restored as of Chapter 181. Paul was met in Chapter 238 and is remindable, but chooses not to take it. Also, whilst Paul wasn't at Spear Pillar helping Gary, [[spoiler: Zoey was]].

[[WMG: May and Dawn's Pokédexes will become Porygons as well]]
Self-explanatory.
* Agreed there.
** Alternatively, Dawn's Pokédex will go straight to Porygon-Z
** So May's will go straight to 2? Also, would any of the Dexes really WANT to use the Dubious Disc?
** Both May and Max already have Pokédexes which have become Porygons.
*** Confirmed about the base WMG, then. May and Max got 'Dexes that became Porygon, named Ethan and Kris respectively. Later on, Ethan (May's) is [[spoiler:the first Porygon to evolve into a Porygon2]], though. Meanwhile, Dawn doesn't seem to have a Porydex.
[[WMG: Orre and Shadow Pokémon will make an appearance]]
And it will be connected to the Masked Marauder and Anime/Pokémon4Ever.
* Somewhat confirmed - Ash does reference Shadow Pokémon when working on Aura Purge. But if the Silver incident takes place before XD, I've a feeling [=XD001=] might actually be his other parent which Ash hasn't 'caught' yet.
** Confirmed, Silver's mother - the Shamouti's Lugia's mate - was turned into Shadow Lugia by Team Cipher and Dr. Nanba. Also, the Masked Marauder's Dark Balls do forcibly Shadow-fy Pokémon caught in them.
[[WMG: If Team Ketchum meets up with ancient Ninetales who dead master looks like Brock]]
..It and Brock's Ninetales are going to put a fight right out of a ninja movie.
* Half-confirmed. Brock's Ninetales and the old Ninetales do battle, but it's more illusionary and less ninja-y.
[[WMG: When Ash encounters Infernape again as a Chimchar...]]
...He'll immediately touch him and restore his memories. However, Infernape will still belong to Paul and will be forced to stay with him until he can figure out a way to make Paul abandon him again, something that will be much harder since Paul won't be as willing to abandon a fully evolved Pokémon. Bonus if it eventually results in Charizard and Infernape talking about their awful former trainers and how they've effected them.
* Confirmed and resolved. Infernape was reminded on Paul's first meeting, but Paul was willing to give him to Ash in exchange for a Pokémon that will work with his training style. Currently it's an IOU to Paul with Lucario keeping Ash honest.
** ...And resolved at Oreburgh Town, with a passoff of a Cranidos to Paul.
[[WMG: One of Ash's gym battles]]
Will involve the supplementary challenge of not destroying the gym, while having the fight inside. And it will probably be harder for Ash than the Johto dragon gym was.
* Confirmed, Norman mentioned the challenge of not destroying any of the Hoenn gyms to Ash, who is taking it as a SelfImposedChallenge. By the end of his Hoenn Gym run, he has succeeded... technically.
[[WMG: Ash will achieve Sacred Sword for the first time, by using [[spoiler: The sword he got from the Mirage Kingdom.]]]]
I'm fairly certain Sacred Sword needs to be supported by a blade of its own (e.g. a horn), at least for beginners, and said [[spoiler:Ceremonial sword]] fits perfectly.
* Confirmed in the Scuffle of Legends.
[[WMG: Paul won't get his memory restored.]]
He and Ash aren't exactly the closest of friends, after all.
* While that may be true, Paul may have to be in on what Ash is up to considering that he was the previous owner of Ash's Infernape.
* Sort of confirmed. Paul is remindable, but refuses Ash's offer to be reminded.

Celebi will drop him off like how she did with Corphish.

The new X and Y character's anime counterpart has a past with Ash, so later on when the anime reveals the exacts the author will include her at some point as part of the Fairy Retcon (Possibly during Johto as a way to include story arcs in place of the infamous filler of death)
* I hate to a Half-Jossing, but I think during the Johto time period Serena is not old enough to have Pokemon, but she can do a female Max like Bonnie is doing in anime version of XY.
** To be fair, she might not be 10, she might be older. Ash was technically 15 in this story, as oppose to the 10 he somehow still is in regular canon, so unless Serena is revealed in flashbacks to be 3 or something...after all the Unova and Kalos protagonists seem older than the previous game players and he's used a fair share of game canon as necessary.
** Serena is around the same age as Ash, or is at the very youngest just shy of 10. Even if his age is once again vague, both he and Serena were about seven or eight during Prof. Oak's Camp.
** I'm pretty sure Serena is supposed to be ambiguously ten, the same age as Ash.
** [[spoiler: Confirmed as far as the appearing earlier thing goes. She, like the other female companions post-Misty, gets an EarlyBirdCameo, making her first appearance in the Battle Frontier. However, she's still in Kalos and her appearance doesn't relate to Ash. Instead, she's Dawn's new pen pal. As for the age thing, Serena notes that, in the photo she was sent, Dawn looked to be about two years younger than her. That would put her at 11 or 12, while Ash is almost 14.]]
[[WMG: Orre and Shadow Pokémon will make an appearance]]
And it will be connected to the Masked Marauder and Anime/Pokémon4Ever.
* Somewhat confirmed - Ash does reference Shadow Pokémon when working on Aura Purge. But if the Silver incident takes place before XD, I've a feeling [=XD001=] might actually be his other parent which Ash hasn't 'caught' yet.
** Confirmed, Silver's mother - the Shamouti's Lugia's mate - was turned into Shadow Lugia by Team Cipher and Dr. Nanba. Also, the Masked Marauder's Dark Balls do forcibly Shadow-fy Pokémon caught in them.
[[WMG: If Team Ketchum meets up with ancient Ninetales who dead master looks like Brock]]

* Half-confirmed. Brock's Ninetales and the old Ninetales do battle, but it's more illusionary and less ninja-y.
Self-explanatory.
* Agreed there.
** Alternatively, Dawn's Pokédex will go straight to Porygon-Z
** So May's will go straight to 2? Also, would any of the Dexes really WANT to use the Dubious Disc?
** Both May and Max already have Pokédexes which have become Porygons.

Ash will somehow end up in the Kalos region by the end of this fic. It may not even be in the correct spot as far as timelines go because the author is leaving little hints that Ash may be getting tired of repeating and could use a refresher.
* Well, Gary has already completed the Kalos League in first, so if Ash does, he might see if he could get some pointers from his once-rival.

I could imagine Cyrus finding Lysandre too controlled by his emotions and spirit, while Lysandre finds Cyrus to be a cold bastard (and with terrible fashion sense on top of that), thus resulting in a bigger Good Guys vs Team Galactic vs Team Flare smorsgabord near the end.]]
[[WMG: When Ash gets back to Unova again...]]
He just might run into N and win him over without having to go through the whole plot of [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackandWhite Black and White]]
* I hate to do a pre-Jossing for you but this fanfiction is based on the anime: Team Plasma hasn't shown up yet in the series.
* The pre-Jossing has been rendered invalid. N is set to appear.
* With [[spoiler: N reading Mewtwo's book]] this looks fairly likely.
* [[spoiler: It appears as if the plot of Episode N is short-circuiting in the course of the Battle Frontier, with N having doubts as to attempting to raise Reshiram the first time.]]
** [[spoiler: And is officially short-circuited as Reshiram not only thinks Ghetsis is utter scum, but also leaves with N to explore the modern world.]]
[[WMG: Other rival memories stored. (Unconfirmed)]]
* Unova
** N
[[WMG: After defeating Paul in the Lily of Valley Confence in Sinnoh, and learning that he will be up against Tobias.....]]
... Ash uses his own Legendary Pokémon against Tobias's Legendary Pokémon.
* ...Duh?
** Bonus points if the match against Tobias is actually the final. Besides, don't forget the ButterflyEffect has changed the order of some battles in the Kanto conference.
** Remember that there are now rules in place that Trainers have to reach an agreement if either want to use more than 1 Legendary and/or Mega Pokemon. No surprises this time around.
[[WMG: Before leaving for Sinnoh, he asks who is Pokémon Inspection Agency Sinnoh's agent..]]
.....It's the Hearthome Gym Leader, Fantina, -- given reason why Fantina is gone a lot -- beside looking for a new style -- she's also secretly checking the Sinnoh's gyms.
* Semi-jossed. We're deep into Sinnoh now and there's been no hint at this. That said, Fantina's gym battle is literally happening in the next chapter to come out as of this writing, so its really now or never if its going to be mentioned, since Fantina might not turn up much from here on. No full jossings yet, though, just in case.
[[WMG: Serena will appear earlier than in canon]]
The new X and Y character's anime counterpart has a past with Ash, so later on when the anime reveals the exacts the author will include her at some point as part of the Fairy Retcon (Possibly during Johto as a way to include story arcs in place of the infamous filler of death)
* I hate to a Half-Jossing, but I think during the Johto time period Serena is not old enough to have Pokemon, but she can do a female Max like Bonnie is doing in anime version of XY.
** To be fair, she might not be 10, she might be older. Ash was technically 15 in this story, as oppose to the 10 he somehow still is in regular canon, so unless Serena is revealed in flashbacks to be 3 or something...after all the Unova and Kalos protagonists seem older than the previous game players and he's used a fair share of game canon as necessary.
** Serena is around the same age as Ash, or is at the very youngest just shy of 10. Even if his age is once again vague, both he and Serena were about seven or eight during Prof. Oak's Camp.
** I'm pretty sure Serena is supposed to be ambiguously ten, the same age as Ash.
** [[spoiler: Confirmed as far as the appearing earlier thing goes. She, like the other female companions post-Misty, gets an EarlyBirdCameo, making her first appearance in the Battle Frontier. However, she's still in Kalos and her appearance doesn't relate to Ash. Instead, she's Dawn's new pen pal. As for the age thing, Serena notes that, in the photo she was sent, Dawn looked to be about two years younger than her. That would put her at 11 or 12, while Ash is almost 14.]]
[[WMG: When fighting Tobias.]]
... Ash will use Muk, who curbstomps half his team.
* Even though this troper doesn't think this will happen, it'd be the funniest thing ever. Would probably break the whole calm and collected thing Tobias has going too.
[[WMG: Dexter will evolve twice]]
The first time, when he evolves into [=Porygon2=], will turn out to be a great upgrade, making him faster, stronger and overall more durable, along with making his projector less likely to overheat and his projection harder to shatter. It will also make it easier for him to stay out for long periods of time... and overall make him seem more "real".
When he evolves into Porygon-Z, though... the evolution will be forced, and the Dubious Disc will cause him to glitch and pick up viruses like nobody's business, losing control and destroying everything around him while constantly making a high pitched screeching sound that turns out to actually be maniac laughter sped up beyond reason. Ash will use either Aura Purge or the Calm Mind TM to get him to return to some level of normalcy. After he separates his incredibly powerful virus personality with his normal personality, he'll become a bit of an {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}} Dexter Douglas AKA Freakazoid]].
* Half-jossed. Dexter did indeed evolve into a [=Porygon2=] which was an unintentional, though beneficial, upgrade. However, [[spoiler:his unintentional evolution to Porygon-Z was also beneficial, and his personality has remained the same.]]
[[WMG: When fighting Tobias]]
Ash will not send out legendaries, but will beat up Tobias' Pokémon with 'normal' mons. This will probably involve Mawile, wearing the dark-type hat, vs Mega Latios.
[[WMG: Ash will end up in Kalos]]
Ash will somehow end up in the Kalos region by the end of this fic. It may not even be in the correct spot as far as timelines go because the author is leaving little hints that Ash may be getting tired of repeating and could use a refresher.
* Well, Gary has already completed the Kalos League in first, so if Ash does, he might see if he could get some pointers from his once-rival.
[[WMG: [[spoiler: Cosplay Pikachu will have the Zappy ability.]]]]
I mean, she is indeed the [[spoiler: Rocket's Pikachu]]. Although hers only works very well in Contests.
[[WMG: Should the story go to Kalos, Ash!Greninja will happen...and ''every'' Pokemon Ash has that remembers the original timeline will ''utterly'' panic.]]
The panic is because Ash!Greninja boosts Greninja's power while draining Ash...and that is definitely not Aura-based. Since they have no frame of reference, their response will be "panic!"
[[WMG: The fic will have an epilogue and it will reveal that Ash has a house that works as an inn and restaurant to legendaries.]]
He's already good friends with most of them and Ash does age in this fic. Bonus points if [[Main/{{God}} Arceus]] goes there regularly.
[[WMG: Alain will show up as Professor Sycamore's assistant and end up on several of Gary's misadventures.]]
In the process, Gary will end up giving him the Charizardite X and Mega Ring, so he'll never get tied up with Team Flare (provided they even exist in this timeline).
* Not going to joss this fully yet in case we're think of two different Charizardite X stones, but i'm pretty sure Gary gave that Mega Stone to Ash.
[[WMG: Related to the above]]
It will also turn out that Alain gives off the same evolution-inducing aura as Ash, explaining why Gible evolved all the way into Garchomp in such a short period of time.
[[WMG: Dawn's Buneary will evolve into Lopunny.]]
So that the Lopunnite Gary found forever ago will see some use.
[[WMG: Riley is the singular [[TheChosenMany Chosen]] in Sinnoh.]]
He has Aura powers and Ho-oh mentioned that there's only one Chosen in Sinnoh.
[[WMG: The battle against Team Galactic will turn into a climactic AvengersAssemble situation.]]
Everyone will be involved, including Ash and his fellow time-travelers, all the Chosen (the Dragon Clan, Steven Stone, and the Sinnoh Chosen), Casey, Ritchie, and whoever else is available. There will be Legendaries and Mega-Evolved Pokemon everywhere and Ash will [[TalkToTheFist punch Cyrus in the face at some point.]]
[[WMG: Instead of a Porygon Pokedex, Dawn will get a Pokedex inhabited by a Rotom in honor of Sun and Moon.]]
[[WMG: Dawn's Piplup will choose to lose the everstone and evolve.]]
With the danger Ash and company get into, a circumstance where Piplup feels it's his only option is almost a certainty.
[[WMG: Ash's Charizard is going to stay on the Battle Frontier team for a bit longer if he comes back for his battle with Noland's Articuno.]]
Because of Max's Charmander. He'll stay to both help train her, and to prove to Charla that, yes, he is dad material.
** Semi-Jossed in regards to the battle against Articuno. He may show up later.
** The flying lizard shows up at least twice over the course of the Frontier: on one visit, he mentored Max's Charmander, Corona; another time is as part of Ash's team for the Battle Pyramid, fighting a Regirock and a Heatran.
[[WMG: During the events of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, Ash and the gang will break time ''again''.]]
With this CosmicRetcon, Ash will have memories of traveling around Kalos with Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, and all the Pokemon they befriended. He will then have the ability to remind them, and will go to Kalos to stop Team Flare.
* Hate to partially pre-Jossed this, but I don't see how a time break back then would change when Cyrus's Victory happens.
* Well it could result in a situation where a number of small things change resulting in Cyrus's victory being delayed to say while Ash is in Alola.
[[WMG: After the events of ''Jewel of Life'', the Thunder Creature of Michina (Pikachu) will be declared a legendary Pokémon]]
While in the past, Pikachu will do some impressive stuff, such as tanking all the thunder attacks meant for [[PhysicalGod Arceus]] or successfully use electricity against ground types or something. As such, the people of Michina, or maybe even [[PhysicalGod Arceus]] himself, will assume that said maiju, the Thunder Creature of Michina, is a legendary. That or the fact that he's a Pikachu will get forgotten over the years, and historians assume he's Raikou or something.
[[WMG: Z-moves will border on or be a DangerousForbiddenTechnique, at least for the already powerful Ash and co.]]
Blast Burn-based Inferno Overdrive used by Charizard will be spoken of only in the theoretical sense, until they inevitably have to use it and it blows up a mountain or something.
* Or maybe Chariffic Valley's Blast Burn and Pikachu's Volt Crash are in a way Z-Moves themselves which DON'T use a Z-Crystal.
[[WMG: We will meet Squirtle from Unova and Kalos...]]
...who will be obsessed with emulating Western cartoons such as ''[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtwigs]]'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Miraculous: Tales of Ledyba and Chacripan Noir]]'' respectively.
[[WMG: Serena will make an in-person appearance at some point in Sinnoh.]]
She'll be visiting Dawn. This will likely take place during some major event. My guess would be either a movie (although Dawn might not let her come visit when the events of a movie are approaching) or she'll show up to cheer her friend on at the Sinnoh Grand Festival.
[[WMG: Things will go massively off the rails early on in Sinnoh.]]
That's why Saphroneth is going ahead and giving Dawn all her Pokemon now.
* Not sure if its been confirmed by Saph or in-= or out of story, but this troper got the impression that Celebi was doing this because [[spoiler:she knew the Lake Trio, who manage the memories Ash can restore, were still going to be imprisoned, cutting off Ash's ability to restore memories. Thus, she grabbed all of Dawn's Pokemon for her early on because she'd probably need them. This might also explain the occasions Celebi's dumped one of Ash's Pokemon on him out of nowhere when he hasn't obvious forgotten to go and get them]].
[[WMG: Wartortle is a secret WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse {{Otaku}}.]]
* She uses ShapingYourAttacks to make water constructs, including wings, like Lapis does, and she's the only member of the Squirtle line so far that we don't know the obsession of.
** In the Kanto Grand Festival, she gives an "I am Wartortle" line, and controls an entire battlefield worth of water, with the gang in the audience noting the impressiveness of the hydrokinesis.
** Given that she's shown having an obsession with musicals and referred to musical number such as "Be a Mon" and "Under the Sea", her obsession might revolve around {{Franchise/Disney}} instead.
[[WMG: At some point Brock will get a Mimikyu.]]
Because it's another deception-based Pokemon. He might even get it after a brief mix-up with Pikachu, much to Ash and Pikachu's consternations.
[[WMG: When Ash fights Tobias again...]]
He will have one legendary from all the regions except one (including his Darkrai and Latios), and Ash will be not only be [[SeenItAll utterly unimpressed]], as mentioned in an above WMG, he will curbstomp half of them with his [[LethalJokeCharacter Muk.]]
[[WMG: There will be a Deoxys-Red and a Deoxys-Yellow.]]
So far we have Deoxys-Green and Deoxys-Purple from [=LaRousse=], Deoxys-Blue from [[spoiler: the Delta Episode meteorite]], and Deoxys-Orange from the meteorite in Kanto that Max befriended. That's two-thirds of the rainbow. Deoxys-Red and Deoxys-Yellow will complete the set.
[[WMG: [[spoiler: Cyrus and Lysandre have teamed up to remake the world in this new timeline.]]]]
[[spoiler: It will turn out that Cyrus has his memories as well, or at least was able to deduce things based on his own logic and desires and how there seems to be a spike in powerful foes he will have to face. As such, not only has he been able to find a way to avoid detection by Ash and co., but he also runs into Lysandre, whose own personal motives are extremely similar to his own. I bring up Lysandre because I find it very fishy that the author brought up Team Flare in the aftermath of the Delta Episode, and Serena being introduced at all is equally strange despite the story originally being set after a time reset during late Unova. I don't believe this is a coincidence. What might happen is that the two wannabe universal reshapers, having found kindred spirits in each other, have pooled their collective resources into ensuring their overall victory, thus also relocating to somewhere between Kalos and Sinnoh.]]
[[spoiler:Of course on the other hand it could be that it's only a temporary a team up of convenience, and that in reality they plan to drop the other like a sack of potatoes. I could imagine Cyrus finding Lysandre too controlled by his emotions and spirit, while Lysandre finds Cyrus to be a cold bastard (and with terrible fashion sense on top of that), thus resulting in a bigger Good Guys vs Team Galactic vs Team Flare smorsgabord near the end.]]

[[WMG: Fallout of Team Galactic's defeat.]]
Everyone who was vulnerable to Team Galactic's anti-perception effect feels particularly stressed over how helpless they were, and how they were only able to sit back in ignorance while the main team dealt with it. Particularly Ash's Absol - since in the past, not only has she been stressed over not being with Ash when he needed aid, but was completely unable to know about the issue at all. Following this, they go on a vacation, since everyone needs time to relax and the greatest known threat is vanquished. Mewtwo talked about inviting friends over to his Callisto "summer home" base and it has been a while since the group last made a film!

*** Semi-confirmed.

However, after some aid from the Lake Trio, her memories are retrieved and returned to her.

Gary and Zoey were both at Spear Pillar trying to stop Cyrus, resulting in neither turning up in Ash's Aura Sight as remindable. However, Gary was easily reminded whilst Zoey's memories couldn't be given back without the aid of the Lake Trio. The automatic assumption to explain this is that Gary is one of Ash's closest friends, whilst Zoey. though still a friend, isn't as close, making reminding Gary an easier feat.
However, I posit an alternative explanation. Both Gary and Zoey didn't turn up in Aura Sight because they were at Spear Pillar, where time and space started to collapse, but Zoey's memories didn't come as easily because she was closer to the epicenter than Gary was. Think about it this way: Zoey was trying to free one of the Lake Trio from their confines, meaning she was right next to one of those being forced to bring Cyrus' plan to fruition, meaning it would be highly likely that she'd be extremely close to the center of things (possibly even mere meters away). Meanwhile, we haven't been told where Gary was, beyond 'he was there and trying to stop Cyrus from ruining everything', so he could easily have been further away, possibly dealing with one of Cyrus' lackeys, explaining why he was easier to remind.
