Professor Sycamore: Difference between revisions

He appeared in [[XY129]], where he walked up to Ash and his friends, who were having a conversation while sitting in seats inside a Pokémon Centre at the Lumiose Conference, and spoke to Mairin about Alain, letting Ash and his other friends in on the fact that Mairin and Alain knew each other. Alain later talked to the group about [[Ash's Greninja]] and it's Ash-Greninja form. At night, Professor Sycamore talked to Alain as he was talking to his Charizard. He was later seen watching, along with Diantha, as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.

He appeared again in [[XY130]] and [[XY131]], watching the battle between Alain and Ash.

He reappeared in [[XY132]], where he saved [[Mairin]] from a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}, who tried to take her under [[Lysandre]]'s orders. Sycamore then battled the Grunt's {{p|Skorupi}} with his Garchomp and escaped with Mairin by taking advantage of the explosion caused by Garchomp countering Skorupi's {{m|Poison Sting}} with {{m|Dragon Claw}}.

He appeared again in [[XY133]], where he countered [[Aliana]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}'s {{m|Dark Pulse}} with an attack from his Mega Garchomp. He later joined Serena and Mairin on their mission to rescue [[Mairin#Chespie|Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]], with the assistance of Team Rocket who commandeered a helicopter in order to travel to the laboratories.  

He reappeared in [[XY134]], where he continued the mission from the previous episode. He appeared again in [[XY135]], where he battled with his Garchomp alongside [[Steven Stone]]; and in [[XY136]], where he battled alongside all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Kalos, Diantha, Ash, and Alain against the Megalith Zygarde.

===Pokémon===

====On hand====

|desc=Professor Sycamore's only known Pokémon is a {{p|Garchomp}} who lives at the lab with him as the main test subject as he researches Mega Evolution. When it was still a {{p|Gible}}, it rampaged through [[Lumiose City]], only to be stopped by Sycamore's assistant [[Alain]]. Alain took her to Sycamore's laboratory, where she then came to live. She gradually started to trust Sycamore and the other Pokémon at the lab, and after some time evolved into a {{p|Gabite}} and finally into Garchomp.

Garchomp was sent out to defend [[Mairin]] from a [[Team Flare]] Grunt's {{p|Skorupi}} in [[XY132]]. It later Mega Evolved and joined the fight against Team Flare in [[XY133]].

===Voice actors===

Professor Sycamore debuts in the {{chap|X & Y}}. He is first seen messaging [[Trevor]] via [[Holo Caster]] to inform him that the package of starter Pokémon he requested has been sent to Trevor's house. When Trevor arrives to take the three Pokémon, he is shocked to find the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} have appeared and begin battling each other. The battle causes destruction and mass panic in Vaniville Town, but Trevor manages to record footage of the event on his Holo Caster before it gets damaged. Once the two Pokémon leave, Trevor decides to travel with his friends to find answers as to what happened while also wanting to meet up with the professor in Lumiose City.

Later, Trevor and his friends make it to Lumiose City. There, they meet with Professor Sycamore and return the {{p|Charmander}} that had previously escaped from Sycamore's lab. Trevor, {{adv|Y}}, [[Tierno]], and [[Shauna]] are sent to Lysandre Café to have Trevor's Holo Caster fixed while {{adv|X}} stays behind. When X reveals that he doesn't want to take the {{p|Chespin}} that Trevor got for him because he worries that it will only get caught up in the constant attacks from [[Team Flare]], Professor Sycamore decides to challenge him to a battle in hopes of changing his mind. Although X agrees, he is angered when he is forced to use Chespin instead of [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]. The battle ends with Professor Sycamore as the victor. Despite the lack of interest in the fight, X is impressed by Chespin's valor enough to take it on his team and give it a nickname. Much to Professor Sycamore's surprise and confusion, X also takes an interest in training the Charmander.

Sometime after Team Flare's plot to use the ultimate weapon fails, Professor Sycamore apologizes to X and his friends for not noticing that Lysandre was actually the leader of Team Flare earlier. He asks them to head to Anistar City, where he may use the secrets of the Anistar Sundial to help them stop Team Flare.

|desc=This {{p|Fennekin}} was one of the three Pokémon that Professor Sycamore gave to [[Trevor]] so that he could get {{adv|X}} out of his depression. Both it and its Pokédex were sent flying in the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It was retrieved by [[Team Flare]] and is currently under [[Malva]]'s ownership.}}
