Xerxer debuted in ''[[PAXY01|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]''. It, along with {{p|Yveltal}}, first appeared in [[Vaniville Town]], where they began battling each other. Their clash caused much destruction, forcing the townspeople who lived there to run away in order to escape from harms way. The two Legendary Pokémon were sought after by [[Team Flare]], who intended to use one of them to power their [[ultimate weapon]]. After some time, Xerneas and Yveltal stopped fighting and disappeared. With their influence over the media, Team Flare reported that the destruction was caused by a large explosion.

[[Xerosic]] later discovered that after the battled ended, Xerneas retreated to {{rt|8|Kalos}}, where it reverted to the form of a large tree. By mind controlling the townspeople captured from Vaniville Town, [[Celosia]] led an operation to retrieve Xerneas and take it to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. When {{adv|X}} and his friends learned of this operation, they battled Team Flare in an attempt to stop it. Despite their best efforts and success in freeing the Vaniville townspeople, Xerneas was captured by Team Flare and taken to their base. There, it was transported to the ultimate weapon's control room so that its life energy would be drained to power the ultimate weapon.  

X, feeling guilty for Team Flare obtaining Xerneas, went to [[Geosenge Town]] alone after learning that the Team Flare Secret HQ was located there. Upon arriving, he infiltrated the base with [[Emma]], who had tagged along, but accidentally stepped on a [[warp tile]] that sent him to the ultimate weapon's control room. There, X met [[Lysandre]], the boss of Team Flare, and battled him in order to prevent the ultimate weapon from being activated. By using his {{p|Manectric|Élec}}'s {{a|Lightning Rod}}, X drained the ultimate weapon of its electricity in an attempt to weaken it. As the battle continued, X's efforts led to Xerneas awakening from its dormant tree form. Despite this, Lysandre was unconcerned due to Xerneas being Neutral Mode and had the ultimate weapon activated anyway.

After learning that X had gone off alone, {{adv|Y}}, her friends, and the Kalos Gym Leaders all traveled to Geosenge Town to assist X. Upon arriving, they found the ultimate weapon in the process of being unearthed. Y and the Gym Leaders all tried to keep the ultimate weapon from opening while {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} went to the Secret HQ to help X. There, they met [[AZ]], the former king of Kalos who created the ultimate weapon. After freeing AZ from his jail cell, Trevor's group arrived at the control room, only to find that Lysandre had already beaten X. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna attempt to remove the ultimate weapon's key from its control module, but are unable to do so before the weapon fires on the Kalos region. When AZ notes that he destruction caused by the weapon means the events 3000 years prior have repeated, Xerneas tells him that things are different, as there is a human that it wishes to lend its power to.

Despite the ultimate weapon's successful activation, the combined effort of X, Y, their friends, and the Gym Leaders weakened the weapon's blast so that no lives were taken. As AZ is captured by Xerosic, he has Xerneas take X and his friends back to the surface. After breaking through the ceiling, Xerneas begins looking for a human to lend its power to. Y decides to become Xerneas's Trainer and decides to give it the nickname Xerxer. [[Bryony]] leads a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s in an attempt to recapture Xerxer, but Y commands it to defeat them all in one fell swoop. With no more obstacles, Y attempts to destroy the ultimate weapon, but is stopped by the arrival of [[Malva]], who had captured Yveltal. Malva reveals that when Xerxer went into its tree form, Yveltal hid underground and went dormant underneath Xerxer in the form of a cocoon. Y and Malva battle each other briefly, but are stopped by Xerosic, who warns the two that if Xerxer and Yveltal battle, it will lead to an endless battle due to their evenly matched power. With no choice but to not fight, Y and her friends decide to retreat and fly away on Xerxer.

At [[Anistar City]], [[Emma|Essentia]] battled Y in an attempt to take back Xerxer. With her Expansion Suit's Poké Ball Jack function, Essentia began uploading a virus into Y's Poké Ball in order to put Xerxer under her control. By disguising herself as a nurse, Essentia lured Y into a false sense of security and knocked her unconscious, allowing Essentia to take Xerxer's Poké Ball. Afterward, Essentia disguised herself as Y and attempted to fool X, only for him to easily see through the trick and break the disguise. Y arrived soon after, having been found and awakened by her friends. By [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolving]] {{p|Absol|Solsol}} and {{p|Pinsir|Rute}}, Y and X battled Essentia in order to take Xerxer back.

During the battle, Essentia was unable to fully control Xerxer, which she attributed to Xerxer's status as a Legendary Pokémon. The battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{p|Zygarde}}, which began attacking everyone, forcing Essentia to turn her attention towards it in order to capture it. Although she succeeds in capturing Zygarde and escaping, the event put Xerxer back to Y's control. The event left Xerxer exhausted, forcing it to return to to its tree form.
