The most famous of Rowan's protoge's would be Cynthia, Palmer, and Cyrus, all of whom left on a journey set by Rowan. Cynthia would be just starting her role as the Sinnoh Champion at the start of the game- her arc would guiding the new generation as she herself gains confidence in the Champion role. She also identifies with Mespirit, being an immensely kind person.
Palmer would be the host of the Battle Tower, and would identify with Azelf (like his son). After your trio fail to protect the three Guardians, he would train you on the Battle Frontier Island.
Cyrus would remain a nihilistic fuck. Originally, he wants Dialga and Palkia to rewrite the world in order to see what lies beyond (his official reasoning). Once your trio and Cynthia/Palmer stand in the way he would instead turn to Giratina and turn the world into dust. Final arc of the game would be him succeeding and you trying to stop him/return the world to good. Identifies with Uxie, but he's v warped by the time the game begins. Why? Idk haven't figured it out.
Team Galatic would play a bigger role. I'm thinking as a bit similar to Team Flare, with a business acting as a front for the cult that remains underneath. Galactic Corp. (name for now) would serve as the front, searching for new forms of energy that could transform Sinnoh, a region steeped in tradition yet still kinda oldish. The cult looks towards Cyrus as its savior, though there would be a point in the game where many would reconsider their allegiance. I haven't really thought of the Commanders too much but the idea was to make Mars more or less infatuated with Cyrus and sort of crazy, while Jupiter just does it for fun. Saturn truly believes that Galatic is creating a better world, but would later begin to lose faith. Charon's in it for power, but no one likes him still.
