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. | 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.

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 their 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.

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|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', using Zygarde to slowly destroy the Kalos region, starting with Lumiose City. Starting from ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', 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|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', 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 [[Giant Rock]] transformed into a giant copy of Zygarde. During ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Lysandre was revealed to have survived and used the Giant Rock to battle Ash, Alain, Malva, Steven, Professor Sycamore, Diantha, and all of Kalos' Gym Leaders. Eventually, the Giant Rock was destroyed when Squishy and [[Z2]] transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme 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. | 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|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', using Zygarde to slowly destroy the Kalos region, starting with Lumiose City.
