Xerneas in its Active Mode, debuted in ''[[PAXY01|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play ]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by Team Flare to power their ultimate weapon. Later after being revived from its tree form, it took on its Neutral Mode. Afterwards, it befriended and was caught by {{adv|Y}} and is nicknamed Xerxer. When Malva arrives and reveals that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before Xerosic stopped them stating that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agrees with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. While contained in its Pokéball, it can speak telepathically with Y.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Xerneas's appearance is based on a cervid (more specifically a stag) in the shape of the letter {{wp|X}} (known as a {{wp|saltire}} in heraldry) or an {{wp|X mark}}. It may incorporate elements of {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}} and ate its branches and fresh shoots. Xerneas's tree form may be based on Yggdrasil itself.
