What's the story of the Mega Dimension DLC?

Question

I mostly want to know a timeline of events. I don't have Legends ZA myself, but I've see some small bits of information like Ansha and Rayquaza or the stuff with Darkrai. Basically, I want to more context as to why this stuff happens/when the battles take place.

Released on December 10, 2025, the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A follows a post-game narrative focused on the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa and the mystery of "Hyperspace Lumiose".
Core Plot
The story begins after the main game's conclusion when spatial distortions appear across Lumiose City.
Hoopa and Ansha: Players meet a new character named Ansha, a talented baker who is accompanied by the Mythical Pokémon Hoopa. Ansha is searching for a Rayquaza as a gift for her mother.
Hyperspace Lumiose: This new dimension is a "pale reflection" of the real city, formed from the subconscious thoughts and dreams of its inhabitants. It serves as a distorted world where Pokémon can exceed the normal level 100 cap, reaching levels up to 200.
The Power of Donuts: To enter these distortions, players must work with Ansha to bake special donuts. These treats grant Hoopa the power to open stable portals and provide various gameplay modifiers and buffs for the player.
Investigation: Joining forces with Korrina and Team MZ, players investigate the source of these distortions, ultimately leading to a finale involving the Mythical Pokémon Darkrai.
Key Story Features
New Mega Evolutions: The DLC introduces 19 new Mega Evolutions, including Mega Raichu X/Y, Mega Chimecho, and Mega Baxcalibur.
Z-Mega Evolution: A new mechanic, "Z Mega Evolution," is introduced for specific Pokémon like Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario.
Returning Elements: Primal Reversion returns for Groudon and Kyogre, and the DLC brings back characters like Korrina to assist in the investigation.
To start the DLC, players must have completed the main story and beaten Main Mission 38 to receive a call to meet on the roof of Hotel Z,
also you have to defeat kyogre and groudon as bosses, and obtain the red orb and blue orb (not sure what there called)
- you get "funding" by the rust syndicate to protect lumiose form these distortions

Comments

This isn't quite what I wanted. I would've preferred something like a structured timeline of events with some context on some of the plot lines, while this reads as an overview of the DLC's content.

Also, is this AI? Pretty much all of this except for the last part reads to me as an AI summary of the DLC, or at the minimum, a summary of the DLC sourced from somewhere else.
