<section begin="Appearance"/>Lysandre is a pale man, with muscular build, blue eyes and pointed red hair connected to his beard. Lysandre wears a black suit, lined in red with a fluffy gray collar and black dress shoes. He also wears a pair of black fingerless gloves, as well as having a Mega Ring on his left middle finger.

At the final phase of his plan, Lysandre wears a special gear, composed of orange striped glasses (just like the rest of Team Flare), a foldable brown bracer on his right hand and a large backpack-like contraption on his hand, which emits contraptions (designed like flying insects) attached by a wire, which can harvest a Pokémon's energy, like that of Xerneas and Yveltal.<section end="Appearance"/>

==Personallity==
  
  +
−
Lysandre at first seems to be a kind hearted man who sees the beauty in everything. But as the game goes on you find out that Lysandre is so obsessed with keeping beauty in the world that he is willing to exterminate all Pokemon so that they cannot be used to harm or steal from anybody. He abhors change, believing that it can only bring scarcity and ruin to the world, so he aims to committ mass genocide against everyone that is not a member of Team Flare in order to protect the world from selfish humans and keep the planets' limited resources from running out. He does show that he does not think that this is the just path by crying when he has to think about killing all of the Pokemon in the world that are not loyal to Team Flare, thinking that they are beautiful creatures that deserve to live. But goes on with the plan anyway as he sees no alternative, believing that the world and humanity will benefit in the long run.

==Personality==
  +
Lysandre at first seems to be a kindhearted man who sees the beauty in everything, but in truth, he is so obsessed with keeping beauty in the world that he is willing to exterminate all Pokémon to prevent them from being used to harm or steal from anybody. He abhors change, believing that it can only bring scarcity and ruin to the world, so he aims to exterminate every human and Pokémon that isn't a member of Team Flare in order to protect the world from selfish humans and keep the planet's limited resources from running out. He does acknowledge and realize that this is not the just path: At one point he cries at the thought of killing all of the Pokémon in the world that are not loyal to Team Flare, thinking they are beautiful creatures that deserve to live. Despite this, he willingly goes through with the plan regardless as he sees no alternative, believing the world and humanity will benefit in the long run.
  +
  +
==Etymology==
  +
Lysandre's name has two etymologies, fitting with his two-faced personality. The first etymology comes from the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of France, as Lysandre Labs' inventions revolutionized Kalos and Lysandre is thus initially seen as heroic, while the second comes from a combination of the prefix 'lys-', meaning 'destroy', and 'andros', meaning 'man', together meaning 'destroyer of men', in reference to Lysandre's villainous goals and desire to commit genocide.
  +
  +
==Biography==
  +
===X and Y===
  +
In his youth, Lysandre used to travel around the world with his Pokémon to aid the needy. However, much to his disappointment, the ungrateful people wanted more. Completely devastated, Lysandre had the thought of wiping the world ignited.
  +
  +
Lysandre first came across the player character in the [[Lumiose City]]'s lab and commented how gifted the player is. In Café Soleil, he was then seen chatting with [[Diantha]] about Diantha's acting career. He suggested the concept of eternal beauty, which was objected by Diantha. He then told his ideology to the player character.
  +
  +
After the player character defeated [[Clemont]], Lysandre would tell the player character about [[AZ]] who was the former king of Kalos 3000 years ago and the Ultimate Weapon. He would continue to communicate the player character with the [[Holo Caster]] and repeat his desire for a perfect world.
  +
  +
The player character would get a Holo Caster Message from Lysandre after receiving the Psychic Badge from [[Olympia]]. This time, he would assert his determination on wiping Kalos clean. After defeating him at [[Lysandre Labs]], he would let the player character battle against [[Xerosic]] who would then activate the weapon.
  +
  +
At the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] beneath [[Geosenge Town]], the player and [[Calem]]/[[Serena]] would see Lysandre facing the ultimate weapon. He would then challenge the player to another battle. At the deepest part of the HQ, the player character would have to battle Lysandre for the last time after capturing [[Xerneas]] or [[Yveltal]]. In the end, Lysandre vanished among the light of the weapon.
  +
  +
===Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
  +
Lysandre appears in [[Ultra Sun]] and [[Ultra Moon]] as a [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] Admin. After he introduces himself to the player, he tells them an extremely brief story about himself, and mentions that a bright light had swallowed him and transported him into this world.
  +
  +
He then goes on to mention that his original desire for a perfect world remains the same as it did in the previous world he was in, and presents two large buttons behind him, one blue and one orange. He states that pressing one of them will open a path so that the player can safely move on, and the other one will activate the Ultimate Weapon, wiping everyone and everything from existence. He will then call the player a "Chosen One", and tells them to press one of the two buttons. No matter which one the player picks, however, they're both the wrong choice.
  +
  +
After pressing the button, Lysandre states that the player must not be the Chosen One, and that the player has doomed the world they tried so hard to protect by their own hands. However, Lysandre says that there is still hope for the player as if they press the other button in time, they will successfully disarm and stop the Ultimate Weapon from firing. Lysandre says, however, that he refuses to allow that to happen and intends to keep the player busy for a short while, initiating a battle.
  +
  +
After the player wins the match, Lysandre says that you have the strength to protect, and allows you to press the button and stop the Ultimate Weapon. He goes on to reminisce, and says that maybe if his world had a trainer like the player, maybe his path would have been different, but brushes off the thought and says that nothing can change him now and that he must take any path necessary to create a perfect and beautiful world.

Latest revision as of 21:29, 5 January 2024

Lysandre is a villain who appears in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, and was the leader of Team Flare. He is also the descendant of AZ's younger brother and an old friend of Professor Sycamore.

Appearance

Lysandre is a pale man, with muscular build, blue eyes and pointed red hair connected to his beard. Lysandre wears a black suit, lined in red with a fluffy gray collar and black dress shoes. He also wears a pair of black fingerless gloves, as well as having a Mega Ring on his left middle finger.

At the final phase of his plan, Lysandre wears a special gear, composed of orange striped glasses (just like the rest of Team Flare), a foldable brown bracer on his right hand and a large backpack-like contraption on his hand, which emits contraptions (designed like flying insects) attached by a wire, which can harvest a Pokémon's energy, like that of Xerneas and Yveltal.

Personality

Lysandre at first seems to be a kindhearted man who sees the beauty in everything, but in truth, he is so obsessed with keeping beauty in the world that he is willing to exterminate all Pokémon to prevent them from being used to harm or steal from anybody. He abhors change, believing that it can only bring scarcity and ruin to the world, so he aims to exterminate every human and Pokémon that isn't a member of Team Flare in order to protect the world from selfish humans and keep the planet's limited resources from running out. He does acknowledge and realize that this is not the just path: At one point he cries at the thought of killing all of the Pokémon in the world that are not loyal to Team Flare, thinking they are beautiful creatures that deserve to live. Despite this, he willingly goes through with the plan regardless as he sees no alternative, believing the world and humanity will benefit in the long run.

Etymology

Lysandre's name has two etymologies, fitting with his two-faced personality. The first etymology comes from the fleur-de-lis, a symbol of France, as Lysandre Labs' inventions revolutionized Kalos and Lysandre is thus initially seen as heroic, while the second comes from a combination of the prefix 'lys-', meaning 'destroy', and 'andros', meaning 'man', together meaning 'destroyer of men', in reference to Lysandre's villainous goals and desire to commit genocide.

Biography

X and Y

In his youth, Lysandre used to travel around the world with his Pokémon to aid the needy. However, much to his disappointment, the ungrateful people wanted more. Completely devastated, Lysandre had the thought of wiping the world ignited.

Lysandre first came across the player character in the Lumiose City's lab and commented how gifted the player is. In Café Soleil, he was then seen chatting with Diantha about Diantha's acting career. He suggested the concept of eternal beauty, which was objected by Diantha. He then told his ideology to the player character.

After the player character defeated Clemont, Lysandre would tell the player character about AZ who was the former king of Kalos 3000 years ago and the Ultimate Weapon. He would continue to communicate the player character with the Holo Caster and repeat his desire for a perfect world.

The player character would get a Holo Caster Message from Lysandre after receiving the Psychic Badge from Olympia. This time, he would assert his determination on wiping Kalos clean. After defeating him at Lysandre Labs, he would let the player character battle against Xerosic who would then activate the weapon.

At the Team Flare Secret HQ beneath Geosenge Town, the player and Calem/Serena would see Lysandre facing the ultimate weapon. He would then challenge the player to another battle. At the deepest part of the HQ, the player character would have to battle Lysandre for the last time after capturing Xerneas or Yveltal. In the end, Lysandre vanished among the light of the weapon.

Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

Lysandre appears in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon as a Team Rainbow Rocket Admin. After he introduces himself to the player, he tells them an extremely brief story about himself, and mentions that a bright light had swallowed him and transported him into this world.

He then goes on to mention that his original desire for a perfect world remains the same as it did in the previous world he was in, and presents two large buttons behind him, one blue and one orange. He states that pressing one of them will open a path so that the player can safely move on, and the other one will activate the Ultimate Weapon, wiping everyone and everything from existence. He will then call the player a "Chosen One", and tells them to press one of the two buttons. No matter which one the player picks, however, they're both the wrong choice.

After pressing the button, Lysandre states that the player must not be the Chosen One, and that the player has doomed the world they tried so hard to protect by their own hands. However, Lysandre says that there is still hope for the player as if they press the other button in time, they will successfully disarm and stop the Ultimate Weapon from firing. Lysandre says, however, that he refuses to allow that to happen and intends to keep the player busy for a short while, initiating a battle.

After the player wins the match, Lysandre says that you have the strength to protect, and allows you to press the button and stop the Ultimate Weapon. He goes on to reminisce, and says that maybe if his world had a trainer like the player, maybe his path would have been different, but brushes off the thought and says that nothing can change him now and that he must take any path necessary to create a perfect and beautiful world.
