Villainous team: Difference between revisions

The first appearance of a Team Flare member was in [[SS029|Mega Evolution Special I]], where Lysandre made an appearance at Lysandre Labs, monitoring the Mega Evolution energy [[Alain]] had accumulated. He appears again in [[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]], where he interrupted Alain and [[Steven]]'s battle.

In the anime, Team Flare plan to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Zygarde}}, which is first revealed in [[XY094|From A to Z]]. However, they fail in doing so as it escapes. The team are after two of the Zygarde Cores, code-named Z1 and Z2. In [[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave]], Team Flare were able to locate Z2 while it and Squishy were communicating, and thus Mable and Aliana proceeded to go after Z2. After discovering that Z1 had joined Ash and his friends, they began following the group to capture it, and were seen on numerous occasions following them. Team Flare Admins, along with [[Xerosic]], began their experiments on an island using the power of Zygarde Cells to mutate trees, which Xerosic declared was a success. Locating Z2, Aliana and Mable, along with Team Flare Grunts, were able to capture Z2 after help of [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, allowing Xerosic to later experiment on it. The night before the Lumiose Conference's final round, Team Flare, reaching the final stages of their plan, made their way to the Prism Tower to begin setting up their equipment. Lysandre, arriving at Prism Tower, ordered Z2 to show him its power as he put his plan into motion, announcing to everyone via TV that he planned to create a new, beautiful world by destroying the one they currently live in.
