Description
Fleur-de-lis, also known as Lysandre, leads Team Flare and directs Lysandre Labs in Kalos. He first emerges observing Alain within ancient ruins, remotely contacting him via Holo Caster to pinpoint a Mega Stone's location and track his progress. During this encounter, Fleur-de-lis challenges Alain to battle for the Ampharosite, defeats him, and recruits him for a secret research project on Mega Evolution's energy. He supplies Alain with a Key Stone and Charizardite X, demanding secrecy from Professor Sycamore to prevent others from misusing their findings.

Traveling to Hoenn, Fleur-de-lis oversees Alain's activities, intervening in a battle between Alain and Steven Stone. He facilitates their introduction and joint exploration of ruins housing an ancient Giant Rock. Their research inadvertently summons Rayquaza, causing significant destruction. Following this, Fleur-de-lis directs Alain to investigate similar energy readings near Rustboro City, while discreetly monitoring Steven for his valuable Mega Evolution knowledge.

His research expands to encompass the Giant Rock's energy and its link to Zygarde Cores. He tasks scientists with studying the rock while Alain battles Mega-Evolved Pokémon to gather data. After Mairin's Chespin, Chespie, is hospitalized interfering with Zygarde Core experiments, Fleur-de-lis informs Alain that continued Mega Evolution data collection is essential for Chespie's recovery. He maintains a close association with Malva, who aids the research.

Fleur-de-lis later oversees the capture of Z2, a Zygarde Core, utilizing it to seize control of Kalos. He publicly reveals his leadership of Team Flare, announcing his plan to create a "beautiful world." His motivations stem from past disillusionment; aiding those in need turned to cynicism when recipients became greedy, convincing him humanity's inherent selfishness necessitates a global "restart." Pursuing this goal, he attempts to control Ash and Greninja through the Bond Phenomenon, battling them alongside Alain using his Pyroar and Shiny Mega Gyarados. Defeated, he activates the Giant Rock to transform it into a Zygarde duplicate and annihilate all life. This plan is thwarted by Squishy and Z2 merging into Zygarde Complete Forme, which destroys the Giant Rock. Fleur-de-lis is engulfed by Zygarde's Core Enforcer.

He possesses orange hair connected to a beard, blue eyes, and a tall, slender build. He typically wears a black suit with red lining, a gray fluffy collar, black fingerless gloves, and a Mega Ring on his left middle finger. During his final plan's execution, he dons specialized gear including orange-striped glasses and a backpack-like apparatus designed to harness Pokémon energy.
