How would you have written May's return in Journeys?

Hypothetically, what would you have wanted it to be like if she could have returned in Journeys? I would have wanted it to be related to ORAS, maybe the Delta Episode. Maybe Zinnia could have appeared? Most of all, I would have wanted to see her in her ORAS outfit, as it's a shame that we never saw it in the anime. Also, I wanted her to get a Mega Blaziken like Brock and Misty did in Sun and Moon.
 
Probably a double return split between two episodes alongside Serena where it's revealed they're both doing showcases together alongside Lisia acting as a team of sorts. Max gets to tag along for the ride and a few other characters like Harley and Drew get cameos and/or mentions on how they're doing. Ash still runs into Wallace and has his battle but it's fully shown on-screen and takes place in part two after the performance meaning Ash gets to see it and his reunion with Serena also isn't delayed until the last minute.
 
No Ash or Go, it's just Koharu meeting May and trying out a contest to show off May's glaceon, because that's what Koharu does - show off things you can do in the pokemon world besides Be Ash™ or Be Contest Performer™

Or if they actually wanted to be interesting, have May be on a gym challenge journey because she's taking a break from contests and wants something new, so she and Koharu have a battle so May can get some training in
 
May being used for the eeveelution quest would be kinda repetitive. I'd do one of two things:
-Contest tournament, many coordinators gather to show who's the best including Dawn, Serena and some rivals, last two episodes and is completely focused on May.
-Food competition, Journeys had one so it could be the rematch and showcase May with Munchlax.

Other options could include Hoenn's features: Biking, Pokeblocks, secret bases...Wouldn't have been the first time Journeys brought a character closer to its games' counterpart.
 
Assuming that Glaceon ice princess ep still happened, hopefully May wouldn't just be used for another Koharu/Eeevee ep. Also as said above, Dawn and Serena already had a lot of similar roles May would have had, and Koharu doesn't need to be inspired by 3 coordinators. It's really hard to think of a role for May that they hadn't already done with Dawn and Serena serving the same purpose.

Mega Blaziken would have definitely been showcased though, this is what many speculated as far back as XY. Have May showcase Mega Blaziken in a battle. Other than that there's not much else they could do unless they made a full-on second Wallace Cup in JN, and we know that wasn't going to happen.
