| “ | My people know it. From generation to generation, we pass along the lore about the distortions in the world borne by the Mega Evolution mechanism. And about the existence of another world, which we have long observed to be just like this one and yet not the same... That's right. A Hoenn region that's almost exactly like this one we live in. Filled with Pokémon and people like us. A world where maybe the evolution of Pokémon took a slightly different path, where Mega Evolution is unknown... A world where that war 3,000 years ago...never happened. A world where the ultimate weapon was never even built. And in that Hoenn of that world... What would happen if one day, out of the blue, a meteoroid appeared? What would happen to the people of that world, without the technology to destroy the meteoroid or the power to warp it away? ... Looks like it's beyond the power of your imagination. | „ |
| ~ Zinnia explaining about her people and the multiverse, as well as before destroying the dimensional shifter. |
Zinnia (ヒガナ) is one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside Deoxys) of the 2014 video game Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
She's a mysterious and powerful Dragon-type trainer who travels across Hoenn by herself, and is capable of taking on Team Magma/Aqua. She belongs to the Draconid people, who are the tribe of people that live in the Hoenn region. They worship Rayquaza, who they refer to as the "Dragon Lord", after it saved the world from Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
In Pokémon Masters mobile game, she is voiced by Aimi Terakawa in Japanese and by Vivian Lu in English. In Pokémon Evolutions animated miniseries, she is voiced by Ayane Sakura in Japanese and by Laura Stahl in English.
Appearance[]
Zinnia appears to be medium height with red eyes and black short hair.
Personality[]
She has a somewhat crazy and overactive personality, as she shows it during her pre-battle animation and during her talks with the player character. She is sometimes seen laughing even in sad moments, such as when she remembers the true Aster on the roof of the Sky Pillar.
Biography[]
Before the events of ORAS (Omega Ruby and Alpha Saphire for short), she foresaw that a meteorite is heading towards her world and she felt it was her destiny to summon Rayquaza to destroy the meteorite. By accomplishing her goal, she disguised herself as a grunt to manipulate Team Magma/Agua into awakening Groudon/Kyogre so she could summon Rayquaza to call upon the incoming disaster, even knowing how destructive Groudon/Kyogre are in bring natural disaster, unlike their leader Maxie/Archie. Although she contributed almost nothing to help Team Magma/Aqua achieved their goal, the fact that she did not tell her leader about the Weather Duo are truly capable of shows that she is perfectly fine in allowing them in unleashing the Weather Duo to the Hoenn region just so she could summon Rayquaza.
After the player character saved the Hoenn region by capturing/defeating Groudon/Kyogre. She has a backup plan by stealing Key Stones from various trainers (Wally, Courtney/Matt, and Maxie/Archie) so she could these stones to summon Rayquaza in the Sky Pillar and Mega Evolve it. Upon arriving at Mossdeep Space Center, she trespassed and destroyed the dimensional shifter that was meant to change the meteorite's coordination into another dimension. Because of this, she risked and endangered every people and Pokémon's lives (including herself), and she felt rather apathetic about it.
After collecting enough Key Stones, she went to the top of the Sky Pillar to summon and Mega Evolve Rayquaza. However, she was unable to control Rayquaza. After witnessing how Rayquaza consumed the player character's Meteorite and regained its missing power just as she became despaired, she would teach it Dragon Ascent as Rayquaza was captured by the player. She had a last battle with him/her, and then gave up her Lorekeeper title while the player was in space battling Deoxys with Mega Rayquaza. After the meteorite crisis was over, she left a note to thank the player's help, and set off on a soul-searching journey to search for her life purpose upon granting the player the Salamencite, after her grandmother advised her to be freed from her duty.
