Draconid people
The Draconid people (Japanese: 流星の民 Meteor people) are an ancient group of people first seen in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. The only known members are Zinnia and her grandmother.
Originally, they were a tribe of Dragon-type-Pokémon users that lived in Meteor Falls, in a time when meteors were constantly showering the area. Groudon and Kyogre fought until they were stopped by Rayquaza. A thousand years later, when a meteor struck what is now Sootopolis, Groudon and Kyogre were awakened. The Lorekeeper, standing with a rainbow stone, wished for Rayquaza to return. When it returned, that wish allowed Rayquaza to Mega Evolve. Groudon and Kyogre returned to the depths, and Rayquaza returned to the sky. Afterwards, the Draconids built the Sky Pillar, where they can summon their Lord Rayquaza. The Sky Pillar is decorated with a mural painted by the Draconids. After a thousand years of peace, they foretold that a meteor would strike once again, and planned to call Rayquaza to prevent it from striking the Pokémon world.
According to a Scientist at the Devon Corporation, the Draconids found that their Key Stones would react with Rayquaza's mikado organ, allowing Rayquaza to Mega Evolve.
