Team Flare: Difference between revisions

Lysandre debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. He was seen monitoring [[Alain's Charizard]]'s energy levels during its [[Mega Evolution]] from [[Lysandre Labs|his laboratory]], and was apparently pleased with the result. He reappeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', when he visited the ruins [[Steven Stone]] was investigating, leading to {{me|Rayquaza}} attacking. In ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', thanks to the efforts of [[Alain]], {{Steven}}, and their Pokémon, Lysandre was able to secure a giant [[Key Stone]] for his research.

They infiltrated Prism Tower in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', and executed their scheme after the conclusion of the Lumiose Conference in [[XY131]], using Zygarde to slowly destroy the Kalos Region, starting with Lumiose City. Starting from [[XY132]], Ash and his friends try to stop Team Flare, with Ash himself getting captured so that Lysandre could closely observe the [[Bond Phenomenon]] between Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}. During [[XY133|the next episode]], Ash broke free, and Alain, shocked by the results of his actions, defected from the team, with the duo facing Lysandre. Meanwhile, Xerosic successfully captured [[Squishy]], while {{an|Clemont}} and [[Clembot]] were able to infiltrate the Lumiose Gym, capturing Aliana and Bryony in the process. During the events of [[XY135]], Lysandre was defeated by Ash, Malva, and Alain and seemingly committed suicide, while Celosia and Mable were defeated and imprisoned by Team Rocket. Lysandre Labs was then destroyed when the [[Megalith]] transformed into a giant copy of Zygarde. During [[XY136]], Lysandre was revealed to have survived and used the Megalith Zygarde to battle Ash, Alain, Malva, Steven, Professor Sycamore, Diantha, and all of Kalos' Gym Leaders. Eventually, the Megalith Zygarde was destroyed when Squishy and [[Z2]] transformed into a complete Zygarde and attacked it with {{m|Core Enforcer}}. Lysandre was engulfed by the attack and seemingly died as well. Afterwards, Malva promised to hunt down the other Team Flare members and afterwards turn herself in as well.

After locating Team Flare's hideout, X and his friends stormed the base, and as a result of their actions, [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] was awakened and later captured by Y, and the ultimate weapon's blast was weakened so that no innocent lives were lost. As a result, Team Flare decided to go hiding in the [[Pokémon Village]] in order to plan their next move.

* 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]]).
