The sequence of the AU being created I had in mind was that Cyrus would have managed to take control of Dialga and Celebi and had told Dialga to begin the process of erasing DS from the timeline so that she would never have been able to interfere in his plans for creating the perfect world.
However, Palkia shows up and attacks Dialga, epic fight ensues, until Dialga's power goes out of control, creating a massive shock wave which knocks Palkia into the portal she had created to contain Cyrus.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, the trainers are doing something else, possibly searching for Cyrus after being warned by one of Sinnoh's legendary Pokémon, when suddenly, the whole area would be enveloped in a big bright flash of light and when it all clears, different timeline.
What kind of stimulus will be required to get everyone's memories back in the AU arc? For Gamer, I'd imagine it'd be something like seeing Kratos's documentary on the Mystery Dungeon world. Maybe Volcanora could save that too, to restore people's memories later on?
"USE YOUR WORDS NOT THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE" ''memyselfand I 2"I think the story I thought up was that Lake would be a Lone Wolf and early on he would find Jane doing things with a big group of Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert. He'd convince Jane to trust and follow him but she'd stay skeptical up until she meets Portales.
Or something.
Please consider supporting my artwork on PatreonOh clearly. An epic wrestling match ensues between Lake and Jane, even. And then when it looks like Lake might lose control (since the Mudkip et al are paranoid about that sort of thing) there would be an enormous dogpile on Lake and Jane would be standing in front of him and I want this arc to start already this is going to be so much fun!

Please consider supporting my artwork on PatreonOh of course of course. I don't want to rush the story arcs that much, though I will admit that I'm getting bored of all the Filler we're going through at the present.

Please consider supporting my artwork on PatreonI suggested Layunda Mountain or whatever. Apparently DS said that she was going to have an aerial battle between her + Latias and the Pincher-craft.
Please consider supporting my artwork on Patreon...I dunno. I'm just assuming there will be a final battle. There always is, right?
In any case, at one point Raikou is going to put his pop tart costume back on, eat ten boxes of pop tarts at once, then proceed to cause utter devastation while singing the Nyah cat song.

Not really, no. There doesn't have to be a final battle while we're in Oblivia.
Please consider supporting my artwork on PatreonI might have the Pinchers that attack me and Latias on the way to Mt. Layuda retreat to the Sky Fortress once they run out of energy balls to fire at us, and after getting Zapdos and Lugia, we'd head over there to confront the Pinchers, where we'd discover that Manaphy has been taken to another region.

I think we should go with the explanation that he got out somehow. After the conference is over, one of the Sinnoh Legends (Palkia?) mentions that he got out, like you suggested. We go and end up finding him. Suddenly, Primal Dialga and Shadow Celebi. We get ready to fight. BOOM. Roar of Time. Everything's different.
