==In the core series games==
Xerosic is one of five scientists that are the driving force behind [[Team Flare]]. He is the only male Team Flare Scientist and has red goggles. He is first encountered in the basements of [[Lysandre Labs]]. After battling the player deep in the hideout, he offers them a chance to stop the ultimate weapon by choosing one of two buttons, as one will turn off the device and the other will activate it. However, despite both his offer and [[Lysandre]]'s promise, he activates the weapon regardless of the player's choice, bragging that it is a victory for Team Flare's science.

Xerosic is one of five scientists that are the driving force behind [[Team Flare]]. He is also the only male scientist and has red goggles. He is first encountered in the basements of [[Lysandre Labs]]. After battling the player deep in the hideout, he offers them a chance to stop the [[ultimate weapon]] by choosing one of two buttons, as one will activate the device. However, despite both his offer and [[Lysandre]]'s promise, he activates the weapon regardless if the player chooses the correct button, bragging that it is a victory for Team Flare's science.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
After the downfall of Team Flare, Xerosic goes into hiding and begins conducting a project on his own, attracting [[Looker]]'s attention. He sets up a lab in a secret floor of the Lysandre Labs complex and posts a notice in Lysandre Café looking for part-time employees, hiring the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}} for security and [[Emma]] as his test subject. He creates a device called the "Expansion Suit", which can augment a human subject in a number of ways, including giving them superhuman reflexes, shapeshifting powers and the ability to hack and control [[Poké Ball]]s. After teaching Emma how to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and loaning her his Pokémon, Xerosic advances his experiment to the next stage, in which he remote-controls the suit while Emma sleeps inside, unaware of what she is actually doing. This figure, dubbed "Essentia," goes on a crime spree throughout [[Lumiose City]] using personalities and disguises based on various Trainer classes pre-loaded into the Expansion Suit's databanks.

The player and Looker ultimately unmask Essentia as Emma and discover Xerosic's secret laboratory, at which point he sets his creation on them in repeated battles. Eventually, however, Looker's dedication to Emma's well-being moves Xerosic enough to make him have a change of heart, and he frees Emma from his control. Realizing that while his creation of the Expansion Suit was a success, his plans are finished, and Xerosic surrenders to Looker and is taken away for trial. Before leaving, however, he donates all of his Pokémon and the Expansion Suit to Emma, having deactivated the remote-control function of the suit, asking her to use them to protect the peace of Lumiose City.

In the past, Xerosic, alongside [[Lysandre]] and the other [[Team Flare]] Scientists, would help those in need, until Lysandre became disillusioned with the [[human]] race and sought to restart the world.


* Being defeated
Xerosic debuted in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. He was first seen at [[Lysandre Labs]], receiving information that both [[Mable]] and [[Celosia]] had failed in their missions to capture {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50%}} {{p|Zygarde}} and {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Zygarde Core}}, respectively. He then informed them that [[Aliana]] and [[Bryony]] would now take on the capturing missions as well. At the end of the episode, he was seen watching the footage Bryony had sent of her encounter with {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Zygarde}} together with [[Lysandre]]. He became excited over discovering that Zygarde possessed a power Team Flare had previously been unaware of.
:''"Oh ho ho! You're wonderful! Your Pokémon are amazing!"''


* After being defeated
He reappeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', again coordinating Team Flare's attacks on [[Squishy]] and the study of Zygarde's powers.
:''"Wonderful! Amazing! You have tremendous skill and bravery! When you add that up, it means I will tell you something very interesting. It happened 3,000 years ago. The ultimate weapon was used to put an end to the war in an instant. If we use that incredible power, we can finally free Kalos of the foolish humans that plague it! Behind me you'll find a {{color|{{red color}}|red button}} and a {{color|{{blue color}}|blue button}}. One of them is the button for activating the ultimate weapon. Push one now! Come on! Push one!"''
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Xerosic in the anime (center left)]]
::'''Red button:''' ''"You pushed it! Oh ho ho! You pushed the little red button! Too bad...for you! Pushing that button has enabled us to use the ultimate weapon! Don't feel too down, though. I would have activated it even if you had guessed correctly.''
In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Xerosic traveled to a remote island with a pair of {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}s and some {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s. They conducted a test of a prototype weapon developed by Team Flare to utilize the energy of the Zygarde Cores and [[Mega Evolution]]. The weapon's laser, when fired, caused the trees on the island to grow wildly and begin blooming red flowers. This result pleased Xerosic, who contacted Lysandre with the news. He later continued these experiments in ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]''.
::'''Blue button:''' ''"You pressed it! Oh ho ho! You pressed the blue switch! Winner, winner! Congratulations! But I'm still going to activate the ultimate weapon! I know the boss promised that we wouldn't if you pushed the correct button, but I refuse to let the potential go to waste! I'll just use my remote, here! Click-click! And the power is ON!
:::'''Either way:''' ''Come on! Look! Look at the monitor!"''


* If talked to before pushing the button
Following [[Z2]]'s capture in ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', Xerosic was often seen monitoring Z2 and performing experiments on it, using the [[Giant Rock]] that Lysandre captured back in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]''.
:''"I'm very curious to see the results of my research. To use the ultimate weapon to cleanse this world once and for all... It's fascinating!"''


* After pushing the button
In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Xerosic and several Grunts sitting in the driver's seat of a truck outside the [[Lumiose Gym]], contacted Lysandre through a Team Flare Admin's Holo Caster. Afterwards, he was seen inside the Lumiose Gym, where he and some Team Flare Grunts set up some of their equipment that they transported from the trucks that they drove in, including glass cases that held Z2 and some Zygarde Cells.
:''"Did you see? The ultimate weapon is reborn! The poisonous flower has bloomed! All shall perish! Except for Team Flare! Look at Geosenge! It has bloomed in [[Geosenge Town]]! The boss's dream of creating a beautiful world will come true! Add it all up, and it equals... a victory for our SCIENCE!"''


=====Lysandre Labs (post-game, [[Looker]] Chapter 5)=====
In ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', he used Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy weapon to take control of Z2, causing it to unleash massive roots thorugh [[Lumiose City]]. During the crisis, Xerosic remained in the Lumiose Gym, overseeing Team Flare's operation and operating the Mega Evolution energy weapon, and [[XY133|eventually]] succeeded in controlling Squishy as well.
* Expansion Suit Field Trials: Secret Records (on bookshelves in the room beyond {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member}} Nix, on the Hidden Floor)
**Volume 1
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... Posted an advertisement for part-time work at the Lysandre Café to recruit a test subject for the suit's field trials. The Expansion Suit should make even an average Trainer into a superhuman force, a force to be reckoned with... It is the ultimate result of my life's study--my magnum opus. The trials must be a success! I wait on the appearance of a young, healthy, and ambitious test subject."''
**Volume 2
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... At long last, a response came to my advertisement for part-time work. The subject's name is [[Emma]]. She is a healthy girl, 16 years of age. When I attempted to explain the intent of my research, she gave little sign of understanding. She does appear to understand the passion I have put into the suit research, and she showed interest in continuing with the trials. Now that Team Flare has been disbanded, my funds are running severely low. I hired her on the spot. The trials must proceed with no time lost. First, I'll measure Emma's physical and mental abilities to ensure she can complete the trials."''
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... I have customized the suit to better fit Emma's frame."''
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... I have designated the code name Essentia to be used when Emma is wearing the Expansion Suit. "''
**Volume 3
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... As we make final preparations for the trials, a new trouble strikes. I have learned that Emma has no experience as a Pokémon Trainer! With little other choice, I am forced to instruct the girl on all the basics."''
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... I have lent Emma my own Pokémon and am instructing her on the skills needed in a Pokémon Trainer. However, my Pokémon seem only to wish to play with the girl. They show no desire to engage in battle. Their behavior is most puzzling. They have never shown signs of being particularly friendly nor reluctant to battle. Their playfulness is a detriment to the trials. I will have to control the suit remotely in order to have any chance of starting the trials in time.
**Volume 4
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... Finally, the trials are underway. The first trial is designed to test the suit's physical capabilities. Using the texturing function, the subject has infiltrated the closely guarded art museum and left an insignia on a historical mural. The remote-control function has worked without complications thus far. Emma shows no ill effects from her time in the suit. Her memory is blank. When questioned, she describes her experience as "taking a nap." Perhaps I will give her a bonus in celebration of this successful trial."''
**Volume 5
*:''"The XXth day of the XXth month... Trials begin of a key part of the Expansion Suit: the hacking cable I've called the Poké Ball Jack. With the texturing function enabled, the subject battles Trainers around the city. She then collects Poké Balls from Trainers she defeats, so that we may use them in our tests. The results of the tests have been quite favorable thus far. However, these trials have not been entirely free from incident. Some apparent acquaintances of Emma's are proving to be a hindrance to our progress. Among these acquaintances is a boy who appears to be the new Champion, but this is not yet confirmed. We encountered a glitch in the remote-control programming, and I lost control for a brief period. Fearing possible effects on Emma, I suspended the trials temporarily. When we returned to the secret base, I examined the girl for signs of damage, but she appeared to be unharmed. She still retains no memories from her intervals in the suit. The one thing she admitted was experiencing "a frightful dream.""''


* After Nix leaves
When {{an|Clemont}} and [[Clembot]] managed to infiltrate into the Gym in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Xerosic was challenged by Clemont to a battle for the Lumiose Gym. He was also told that his machine was not an invention, since inventions should help people and Pokémon, infuriating him. During the battle, Clembot secretly began disabling the Mega Evolution ray. When Xerosic was defeated, he finally took notice of Clembot deactivating the machine. As he was running towards Clembot, however, he was sent tumbling down a trapdoor, ejecting him out of the Lumiose Gym.
:''"Hmm... Why did the remote control malfunction only that one time? Do I need to do more than simply put her in a state of sleep? Must I subdue her spirit, too? No, no. Doing that would put far too great a strain upon Emma's mind..."'' (Noticing the player:) ''"Oho ho ho! You're the boy/girl from the glitched trial! You've been interfering with my research! Very well. You will be the next subject for my trials! If Essentia can defeat you in the Expansion Suit, that is all the proof necessary to show that my research has been correct from the start! Come, Essentia!"'' (She arrives, silent.) ''"Now, battle! Battle, my Essentia!"''


* After the player's first battle with Essentia
In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', Xerosic was planning to create Team Neo Flare. He kidnapped Clemont as an act of revenge for defeating him during the Team Flare crisis. He then used his Mega Evolution ray to take control of Clemont. Once {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and [[Ash's Greninja]] arrived, Xerosic ordered Clemont to annihilate them. However, Clemont had placed a microchip on the side of his head beforehand to prevent himself from being controlled. Outraged, he battled Ash and Clemont, but lost. He then attempted to escape by jumping out of his helicopter, but was grabbed in time by Clemont's Aipom Arm. After the helicopter landed, he was arrested by [[Officer Jenny]].
:''"Astonishing! More than satisfactory! But Essentia's skills go far beyond this! Now, battle! Battle on, my Essentia!"''


* After the player's second battle with Essentia
===Pokémon===
:''"Wonderful! Magnificent! But Essential is only getting started! Now, battle! Battle on, my Essentia!"''

Crobat's known moves are {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Wing Attack}}.}}
:''"Come, come, we can still go on! Or are you worn out? Too bad that Essentia will never experience physical or mental fatigue as long as she wears the Expansion Suit that I designed! Now, battle! Battle on, my Essentia!"'' (Mimi's voice is heard.) ''"Wha--?!"'' (Mimi and Looker arrive.) ''"What?! Who are you two? Why are you here?"'' (Looker credits Mimi.) ''"You can't just barge into a private residence like this! This is a crime!"'' (Looker counters that they simply entered an open elevator.) ''"Grrr... Still, you will not capture me! Go, Essentia! Get them all!"'' (Looker and Mimi try to get through to Emma.) ''"It's useless, you fools! Nothing you try will work! Emma cannot hear you! The one in control of Essentia is not Emma, but me!"'' (Looker tries again to get through to Emma, but Essentia remains silent.) ''"Isn't the power of science amazing? There's no way she will hear you now!"'' (Mimi talks to Emma and Essentia screams.) ''"What?! How can this be happening? Not a problem, though. Watch this! Remote-control function... Set to maximum output!"''

The trials are now complete. I'm afraid your job is all over."'' (Emma and Looker talk, then Emma, Mimi, and the player leave and Looker suggets he and Xerosic have a talk.) ''"Of course. Why would I mind having a chat with you..."Looker," or so you're apparently called."''

All me, controlling Essentia remotely with the Expansion Suit! Emma was clinically unconscious in the suit. Her mind had no clue what her body was doing. She has zero responsibility for any of the crimes. You need not doubt her."'' (Looker is thoughtful.) ''"If you're apprehending anyone, it should be me alone."'' (Looker remains a bit cautious.) ''"You had better believe it. Emma is a fine person. She may be a bit foolish, but she's strong and clear in purpose. Yes, clarity... It is required when one dedicates oneself to a single pursuit. Clarity of heart and purpose is needed if work such as my research is to succeed. The Expansion Suit that I dreamed of could only have been created thanks to the clear dedication of that girl's heart. When you add that all up, it means... That I have no regrets. Take me away, Officer."'' (Looker acknowledges him, then asks to speak as Emma's guardian.) ''"Hm?"'' (Looker asks Xerosic to stay for dinner.) ''"... ... ..."'' (Looker pushes.) ''"... ... ... ... ... ... Looker--or whatever your name truly is--your soft words are unexpected... But not unappreciated. Th-thanks."''

(The player enters and Looker wants to know why he's here.) ''"Because I contacted Emma, of course! I'm sure she'll be here any minute, too!"'' (Emma arrives.) ''"Good timing, Emma!"'' (Looker and Emma argue, and Looker tells her they'll always have a bond.) ''"Yes! That is it! Bonds! The preposterous notion which cannot be seen nor measured! And yet I cannot deny that they do still exist! Fear not, Emma, for I suspect that you will always be tied to the International Police by your bonds!"'' (Emma turns to Xerosic.) ''"Emma! I give you my Expansion Suit! I have removed the remote-control functionality, so you needn't worry! As the new head detective in town, please use your powers as Essentia to protect your beloved [[Lumiose City]]! And...and... Please take all of the Pokémon that I raised for so long!

[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Xerosic in Pokémon Adventures]]
Xerosic makes his first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}} alongside his fellow Team Flare members. He, Bryony, and Celosia witness the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} rampage through [[Vaniville Town]] during a battle with each other. They note that they need the Pokémon to power their ultimate weapon, but currently have no means as to capture them.
Xerosic debuted in ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]''. He, [[Bryony]], and [[Celosia]] were first seen watching the destruction of [[Vaniville Town]] caused by the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.
 
In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', Xerosic and Bryony met with [[Mable]] and [[Aliana]] at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. Bryony informed the pair that their repeated failures have led to [[Celosia]] taking over their duties. In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas on {{rt|8|Kalos}}. He informed [[Lysandre]] of his discovery and asked to have the tree moved to the Secret HQ as soon as possible.
 
In ''[[PS573|Gathering Klefki]]'', [[Clemont]] was held captive by Xerosic, who ordered the boy to assemble a machine he designed. Clemont initially refused, but was forced to comply after seeing his {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} was held hostage. Xerosic then went to perform a check-up on [[Emma|Essentia]]'s Expansion Suit.
 
In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Xerosic and Lysandre began draining Xerneas's life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. They were later interrupted by {{adv|X}}, but he was unable to defeat Lysandre despite helping Xerneas revert back to its true form. Lysandre still activated the ultimate weapon, but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the machine, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. Xerosic tried to capture X and his friends, but they were protected by [[AZ]], allowing Xerneas to take everyone back to the surface. Later, Xerosic stopped [[Malva]] from using Yveltal to {{pkmn|battle}} {{adv|Y}}'s newly-caught [[Xerxer]], stating Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer then decided to retreat, taking Y and the others with it.
 
In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', [[Team Flare]] went into hiding in the [[Pokémon Village]]. Xerosic informed Lysandre that [[Professor Sycamore]] had begun taking action against Team Flare. He suggested remaining in hiding, as Team Flare's attempt to blame the damage done by the ultimate weapon on X's group and the Gym Leaders didn't work to their expectations. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} were an ancient version of the absorber, allowing him to replace the one Xerneas destroyed when it revived. To his horror, Xerosic learned that Essentia's helmet had been damaged during a battle, blocking all forms of communication and control over her. He later reported the disappearance of Essentia and {{adv|Zygarde}} to Lysandre, who ordered Xerosic to abandon the Expansion Suit project.
 
In ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]'', X and his friends set off to confront Team Flare at the Pokémon Village. Xerosic ambushed the group and used his {{p|Malamar}} to put everyone to sleep. X stayed away with Y's [[Croaky]]'s help, but couldn't beat Xerosic as he was using a Pokémon that wasn't his. After the others woke up, X and {{adv|Blue}} stayed behind to face Xerosic while the others went ahead. With X's [[Salamè]] and Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, they easily defeated Xerosic with the power of  [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Charizard}} X and Y, respectively.

He was first seen watching {{TP|Y|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s rampage from the outskirts of Vaniville Town. Later, he was used to capture AZ at the Team Flare Secret HQ. Near the Pokémon Village, Xerosic used Malamar to attack X and his friends. By using Hypnosis, Malamar put everyone to sleep with the exception of [[Croaky]], who used his tongue to block out the sound, and X, whose ears were filled with water. Together, X and Croaky knocked Malamar down, but he quickly got back up and defeated Croaky.
