It kind of loses the point of specifying that their appearance is in a flashback since that's pretty much all of the characters in the novel. Usually characters in flashbacks have little impact on the events of the plot, but the events of the plot are Nemesis' memories, regardless of what the framing device is.

It's possible but I'm not sure where we'd put that idea, as there's no confirmation of it or elaboration on who Byakko even is.
