Pokemon Mega Evolution Acts

I'm not sure if this deserves its own thread (if it doesn't, then I'm sure it shall be moved), but I didn't see a place for it elsewhere.

So, what direction do you think the Acts will take in the following episodes? I just saw the subbed version of the First Act, so I've grasped everything a lot better now. Do you guys think that in the following episodes, some time has passed and Alan has defeated Mega Evolutions/obtained more stones etc? Or do you think they will show everything on-screen? Will a rematch with Zumi be featured/necessary?

Manon states that she herself would like to utilize Mega Evolution, so do you think she will be given/catch a Pokemon that is capable of mega evolving? If so, which one? I have feeling the next time we see them, some of her Pokemon will have evolved. I also wouldn't mind seeing her dream of fighting Alan come into fruition either.

An over-arc plot that unveils Team Flare's plot to use Mega-Evolution for their sinister purpose is the vibe I'm getting at. And I suspect this special will eventually crossover with the main anime itself, considering that Alan has shown interest when Manon mentions Satoshi and the Lumiose Tower Incident.

I'm hoping these specials continue. If Alan really is working for the Flare Gang it would be awesome to see him battle Satoshi and Manon before eventually helping to defeat the Flare Gang himself.
