| Xerosic makes his first appearance in the {{chap|X & Y}} alongside his fellow Team Flare members. He, Bryony, and Celosia witness the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} rampage through [[Vaniville Town]] during a battle with each other. They note that they need the Pokémon to power their ultimate weapon, but currently have no means as to capture them. | | Xerosic debuted in [[PS550<!--|X-actly What They Wanted-->]]. He, [[Bryony]], and [[Celosia]] were first seen watching the destruction of [[Vaniville Town]] caused by the battle between {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. |

|
| Xerosic later calls his boss [[Lysandre]], claiming that he has found the tree form of Xerneas. When [[Malva]] becomes Team Flare's new deputy, Xerosic informs her that following the clash of the Legendary Pokémon at Vaniville, their residents were captured and imprisoned, and their Pokémon were confiscated. Xerosic agrees to turn the captured residents into a labor force for transporting Xerneas into Team Flare's base. Later, a captured [[Clemont]] is bound to prevent movement and his {{p|Heliolisk}} is held captive. Xerosic shows Clemont blueprints for a special machine and demands that he help build it for Team Flare. Xerosic then goes to check up on [[Emma|Essentia]], as he needs Clemont's help so that he can focus on Essentia's Expansion Suit. | | In ''[[PAXY06|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', Xerosic and Bryony met with [[Mable]] and [[Aliana]] at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. Bryony informed the pair that their repeated failures have led to [[Celosia]] taking over their duties. In ''[[PAXY08|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes?]]'', Xerosic found the dormant tree form of Xerneas on {{rt|8|Kalos}}. He informed [[Lysandre]] of his discovery and asked to have the tree moved to the Secret HQ as soon as possible. |

|
| When Team Flare successfully obtains Xerneas, Xerosic oversees the process of using the Absorber to drain its life energy to power the ultimate weapon. The process is interrupted by {{adv|X}}, who had infiltrated the Team Flare Secret HQ to stop Lysandre's ambition. Although Lysandre eventually manages to defeat X, the battle caused Xerneas to turn back into its normal form. Lysandre is unfazed by Xerneas's presence and tells Xerosic to continue preparing the ultimate weapon. X's friends attempt to keep the ultimate weapon from opening as it is being unearthed, but their efforts fail and the weapon is fired anyway. Despite this, the combined efforts of X and his friends managed to weaken the ultimate weapon enough so that no innocent lives are taken.
| | In ''[[PAXY18|Gathering Klefki]]'', [[Clemont]] was held captive by Xerosic, who ordered the boy to assemble a machine he designed. Clemont initially refused, but was forced to comply after seeing his {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}} was held hostage. Xerosic then went to perform a check-up on [[Emma|Essentia]]'s Expansion Suit. |

| Xerosic attempts to stop the heroes before they escape, but is only able to successfully capture [[AZ]] while Xerneas takes X and his friends back to the surface, where it joins {{adv|Y}}'s team. Malva arrives with Yveltal to attack the heroes, only to be stopped by Xerosic, who states that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire, as Xerneas and Yveltal are evenly matched and their battle would never end. During this event, AZ escapes and warns that Team Flare's actions have put them under the surveillance of {{adv|Zygarde}}, the Watcher of Kalos. | | In ''[[PAXY22|Quilladin Stands]]'', Xerosic and Lysandre began draining Xerneas's life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. They were later interrupted by {{adv|X}}, but he was unable to defeat Lysandre despite helping Xerneas revert back to its true form. Lysandre still activated the ultimate weapon, but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the machine, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. Xerosic tried to capture X and his friends, but they were protected by [[AZ]], allowing Xerneas to take everyone back to the surface. Later, Xerosic stopped [[Malva]] from using Yveltal to {{pkmn|battle}} {{adv|Y}}'s newly-caught [[Xerxer]], stating Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerxer then decided to retreat, taking Y and the others with it. |

| Afterward, Team Flare goes into hiding at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Xerosic informs Lysandre that [[Professor Sycamore]] has become aware of their schemes and has his assistants spy on the Lysandre Café. He states that they must remain in hiding, as Team Flare's attempt to blame the damages done by the ultimate weapon on the Gym Leaders and X's group didn't work to their expectation.
| | In ''[[PAXY28|Scizor Defends]]'', [[Team Flare]] went into hiding in the [[Pokémon Village]]. Xerosic informed Lysandre that [[Professor Sycamore]] had begun taking action against Team Flare. He suggested remaining in hiding, as Team Flare's attempt to blame the damage done by the ultimate weapon on X's group and the Gym Leaders didn't work to their expectations. In ''[[PAXY31|Zygarde Appears]]'', Xerosic discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} were an ancient version of the absorber, allowing him to replace the one Xerneas destroyed when it revived. To his horror, Xerosic learned that Essentia's helmet had been damaged during a battle, blocking all forms of communication and control over her. He later reported the disappearance of Essentia and {{adv|Zygarde}} to Lysandre, who ordered Xerosic to abandon the Expansion Suit project. |
|
| |
|
| Later, Xerosic sends Essentia to find Zygarde, which had been spotted around [[Anistar City]]. While she does so, Xerosic investigates the stones located around {{rt|10|Kalos}}. After some investigation, he discovers that they are actually an older form of the Absorber used by AZ during his first usage of the ultimate weapon. As Xerneas destroyed the other Absorber when it awakened, Xerosic decides that these Absorbers will serve as a replacement. Xerosic soon notices that Essentia's helmet has been damaged during a battle. He attempts to get in contact with her, but soon loses all form of communication and control over Essentia, much to Xerosic's frustration. When he reports the disappearance of Essentia and Zygarde to Lysandre, Xerosic is ordered to abandon the Expansion Suit project.
| | In ''[[PAXY32|Malamar Traps]]'', X and his friends set off to confront Team Flare at the Pokémon Village. Xerosic ambushed the group and used his {{p|Malamar}} to put everyone to sleep. X stayed away with Y's [[Croaky]]'s help, but couldn't beat Xerosic as he was using a Pokémon that wasn't his. After the others woke up, X and {{adv|Blue}} stayed behind to face Xerosic while the others went ahead. With X's [[Salamè]] and Blue's {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, they easily defeated Xerosic with the power of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Charizard}} X and Y, respectively. |
| | |
| After learning where Team Flare had gone into hiding, X, Y, and their friends travel to the Pokémon Village to stop Team Flare once and for all. On their way, they are attacked by Xerosic, who uses his Malamar to put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. With the help of Y's [[Croaky]], X avoids falling asleep and defeats Xerosic. Afterward, X interrogates Xerosic and demands to know why Xerosic attacked his friends on the route to the Pokémon Village instead of at the village itself. Xerosic explains that he attacked in order to regain Lysandre's trust. Malamar then proceeds to get back up and defeat Croaky, leaving X with only [[Salamè]] to use in battle. Before X can react, Malamar attacks and knocks Salamè's Poké Ball to the ground before proceeding to attack it. Before its attacks can hit, X's [[Marisso]] steps in to defend Salamè, evolving into {{p|Chesnaught}} while doing so.
| |
| | |
| Seeing its teammate defend it inspires Salamè into fighting against Xerosic. To Xerosic's surprise, X reveals that Salamè had a [[Mega Stone]] on its tail the entire time, which would allow it to reach a Mega Evolved form when it evolves. Xerosic, refusing to back down, continues to attack the group. During the battle, Salamè evolves into a {{p|Charizard}}, and with its Mega Stone and X's [[Mega Ring]], it Mega Evolves into a Mega Charizard X alongside {{adv|Blue}}'s {{TP|Blue|Charizard}}, who becomes a Mega Charizard Y. The combined might of both Mega Charizard X and Y proves to be too much for Xerosic to handle, leading to his defeat.
