On {{rt|13|Kalos}}, it is revealed that a problem inside the [[Kalos Power Plant]] is responsible for the blackout in [[Lumiose City]], which is preventing the player from accessing the majority of the city, including the [[Lumiose City Gym]]. A Team Flare Grunt outside the Power Plant drops a {{key|VI|Power Plant Pass}}, which the player uses to enter the building. Inside the building, a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} and Team Flare Scientist [[Aliana]] are siphoning electricity from the Power Plant, causing the blackout. Once they are defeated, the player can progress to Lumiose City.

In [[Frost Cavern]], a trainer's {{p|Mamoswine}}, which the player needs to traverse the snow-blocked {{rt|17|Kalos}}, is upset. Upon reaching the depths of the Cavern, Team Flare, led by [[Mable]], are antagonizing an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Once she has been defeated, the Abomasnow gives the player an {{DL|Mega Stone|Abomasite}}, and the player is now able to traverse Route 17 on the Mamoswine.

Lysandre Labs' secret entrance is located inside {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Lysandre greets the player with a battle, before moving to the basement. Once the player reaches the basement, he is revealed to have imprisoned AZ, who tells the player the history of the ultimate weapon. The player then encounters [[Xerosic]] in conversation with Lysandre, whereupon Lysandre promises to deactivate the weapon if the player defeats Xerosic. However, despite this promise, Xerosic still activates the weapon by remote control, even if the player manages to switch off the weapon. The weapon, situated in [[Geosenge Town]], activates from the three {{wp|menhir}}s in the center of the town.

The player then enters the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], to the Northwest of the town, which was previously blocked. After battling Lysandre, the player, with the help of Calem/Serena and Shauna, make their way down to the legendary Pokémon. The player encounters the legendary Pokémon, and after catching {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}}, Lysandre challenges the player to one last battle. After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and his/her friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to force immortality on the player and their friends{{sup/6|X}}/destroy everyone in the building{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. The blast from the weapon destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble. As a result, Team Flare disbands. It is unknown what becomes of Lysandre afterwards.

[[Malva]] debuted in-person in ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', battling Alain and Charizard with her {{me|Houndoom}}. The battle eventually ended in Alain's victory.

==Trivia==

* Many of Team Flare's targets share notable similarities with [[Team Rocket]]'s targets: a cave where a regional [[Fossil]] can be obtained ([[Glittering Cave]] and [[Mt. Moon]]), a [[Poké Ball]]-producing facility where the [[Master Ball]] can be obtained ([[Poké Ball Factory]] and [[Silph Co.]]), a Pokémon [[Template:Burial ground|burial ground]] ({{rt|10|Kalos}} and [[Pokémon Tower]]), the regional [[Power Plant]] ([[Kalos Power Plant]] and [[Kanto Power Plant]]), and a location where experiments involving in agitating a {{p|Abomasnow|certain}} [[Red Gyarados|Pokémon]] are conducted ([[Frost Cavern]] and [[Lake of Rage]]).
