[[File:Xerosic Appears XY.png|250px|left|thumb|Xerosic meeting the player at [[Lysandre Labs]]]]
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.

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]], 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.

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]], 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]], [[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]], 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]], 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.
