Legendary Event - New World Dilemma

• Pokémon Center

Name	Text
Cynthia	I don't want to believe that he of all people has come to Pasio.
Cynthia	We need to find the person responsible for what happened at the beach. Let's split up into two groups so we cover more ground. But if you find the culprit before I do, be careful. If it's who I think it is, he's a very dangerous man.

• The Man from Another Dimension

Name	Text
Masked Man (1)	Darn! All we managed to steal were weak Pokémon!
Masked Man (2)	We need strong Pokémon for all our wicked schemes.
(Flash of light)
Masked Man (1)	Wh-what was that?!
(Cyrus and Palkia appear)
Cyrus	Where am I?
Masked Man (1)	H-hey, you! Where'd you come from?!
Masked Man (2)	Sir! Look at that!
Masked Man (1)	Well, well! That's quite a strong-looking Pokémon you have there!
Masked Man (2)	You there! Hand over your Pokémon!
Masked Man (1)	Don't ignore us, you punk!
Cyrus	Allow me to pass. Step aside.
Masked Man (1)	Gah!
Masked Man (2)	Th-that guy seems kinda dangerous, sir.
Masked Man (1)	S-stop actin' all scared! C'mon! We're gonna steal his Pokémon!
(Screen fades to black)
Masked Man	Ahhh!
(Pokémon Center)
Cynthia	Do you have a moment, <player>?
Cheryl	We just heard about a group of Team Break members who have been injured. Will you help us look for the person who attacked them?
Cynthia	We know it's sudden—and this will be a dangerous task. But if my intuition is correct about who did this, the whole world could be in danger. Just this once, I hope my intuition is wrong.

• Creating a New World

Name	Text
Cyrus	So, this is the artificial island of Pasio. This doesn't appear to be the world I desire.
???	You're—!
(Cheryl and the player appear)
Cyrus	You recognize me. Are you a Trainer from Sinnoh?
Cheryl	You're Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic. I can't believe you're here on Pasio. What are you doing here? Cynthia told me that your plans were foiled in the place called the Distortion World.
Cyrus	The Distortion World? What are you talking about? I attempted to create a world without spirit using the powers of Dialga and Palkia—the Legendary Pokémon that control time and space. However, I was interrupted when a mysterious ring appeared. It swallowed me up and brought me here. If not for that, my new world would already be realized... No matter. My dream will not end here due to some minor setback. I will destroy this world and create a new one in its place!
Cheryl	Destroy the world?! We have to stop him, <player>!
(Cheryl sends out Blissey)
Cyrus	Do you really think you can?
(Cyrus sends out Palkia) (The player and Cheryl battle Cyrus)
Cyrus	This is a waste of time. Palkia, deal with that annoying one first.
Cheryl	Look out, Blissey!
Cyrus	Pikachu, stop Palkia!/Protect Blissey!: See how powerless you are?
(Pikachu faints)
Cheryl	Pikachu! All this for Blissey's sake...
Cyrus	Do you know why you lost? Because your judgment was clouded by the vague, incomplete thing known as spirit. As long as you are burdened with incomplete spirit, you have no hope of defeating me.
???	Stop right there, Cyrus!
(Cynthia appears)
Cynthia	You've gone far enough! This ends here! Don't involve any of us in your foolish plans!
Cyrus	Your words mean nothing to me. I will create a new world! No matter what!
(Cyrus and Palkia disappear)
Cheryl	He's gone!
Cynthia	He got away. We need to stop Cyrus—and fast. Before it's too late!
News of Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, quickly spread across all of Pasio. In response to the threat he posed, the PML staff entered a heightened state of alert.
(Transition to the forest)
Cyrus	Perhaps my battle on the beach was a mistake. I need more information, but circumstances as they are make that difficult. I need more information, but circumstances as they are make that difficult. Who's there?
(Rotom appears)
Cyrus	You're...
???	Hey, Rotom! Where are you?
(Sophocles appears)
Sophocles	Stop messing aroun— Ah!

• Kindred Spirits

Name	Text
Sophocles	Hey! Rotom! Wh-what are you doing?! I-I'm sorry. Is Rotom causing you trouble? Come on, Rotom. Get over here. Huh? What is it, Rotom?
Cyrus	Is this your Pokémon?
Sophocles	What? N-no, it belongs to another Trainer I know. We're just playing together. I like to tinker with machines and come up with inventions. Rotom was helping me out.
Cyrus	Tinkering with machines with Rotom, huh?
Sophocles	U-um, my name's Sophocles. What's your name, mister? I've never seen you on Pasio before.
Cyrus	Oh, I'm no one special.
Sophocles	Hehe. I think Rotom likes you.
Cyrus	I don't mind this Rotom. Or tinkering with machines, either.
Sophocles	U-um, then do you mind if we talked for a bit? I can tell you about Pasio if you're new here.
Cyrus	Very well.
(Transition to the night)
Sophocles	Gosh...I had no idea Rotom could do that! That was really informative. Thank you!
Cyrus	No thanks necessary. You gave me information as well.
Sophocles	Hehe. I still want to thank you. Now I can become even better friends with Rotom.
Cyrus	What do you think of this world?
Sophocles	Huh?
Cyrus	This world of ours is a crude one. In a word, it is incomplete. It has been, and always will be, a struggle to survive in this world. We humans and Pokémon are likewise incomplete. Because we are all so lacking, we fight, we maim... It is ugly. I hate the incompleteness. That we are all incomplete, I hate it with my entire body and being. The world should be complete. The world must change.
Sophocles	Mister?
Cyrus	The reason for this is the human spirit. As it is vague and incomplete, so too is the world. What about you? Have you never felt pain or sadness due to your incomplete spirit?
Sophocles	I... ... ... ...
(Cyrus walks away)
Sophocles	I'm... I'm shy...and I've certainly felt lonely before. Sometimes I've felt really sad while I'm alone. ... ... ... But... Big Mo and Pokémon were there to fill the lonely hole in my heart. The stuff you're saying is hard for me to understand... but I think my human spirit is why I'm able to feel all these warm, fuzzy emotions in the first place.
Cyrus	I see...
Sophocles	U-um, why did you say all that stuff to me?
Cyrus	Because you remind me of a child I know very well. But apparently I was mistaken.
Sophocles	Mister...
(Cyrus leaves)
???	There you are, Sophocles.
(Elesa appears)
Sophocles	Hi, Elesa.
Elesa	I was looking for you. By the way, that guy you were just talking to...

• Sophocles the Brave

Name	Text
(Pokémon Center)
Sophocles	No way! That was Cyrus of Team Galactic?!
Cynthia	Yes. He's a dangerous man wanted by the International Police.
Cheryl	Would you mind telling us what you two talked about, Sophocles?
Sophocles	U-uh, well... Oh! He asked me lots of questions about how and why sync pairs are transported to Pasio. But I didn't know, either, so I told him that the people who run the PML probably know, and that they might even be involved in the process, too.
Cheryl	Maybe Cyrus wants to go back to where he came from.
Cynthia	Or maybe he wants to use that power to bring Dialga to Pasio. In any case, his goal is to complete his plan that was interrupted when he was brought here. To destroy this world and create a new one...
Sophocles	... ... ...
Cheryl	Cyrus is trying to obtain the power that brought him to Pasio. If that's the case, he'll want to see Lear, the host of the PML. There's a good chance that we can ambush him while he's heading to Lear's villa.
Elesa	Sophocles, did you two talk about anything else?
Soph	W-well... He asked a lot of questions about Rotom...and about me, too.
Elesa	He did?
Sophocles	He wanted to know about my inventions, and how I felt when I made them. He also kept staring at Rotom.
Elesa	Why would Cyrus do that?
Cheryl	Come to think of it, I remember this story I heard when I was in Sinnoh visiting Sunyshore City. A boy named Cyrus used to live there, and he would spend all his time doing nothing except playing with machines. Assuming it's the same person...
Sophocles	I... I want to stop Cyrus. I think the human spirit is important, even if it is vague and incomplete.
Cheryl	Sophocles...
Sophocles	Besides, I'm sure even Cyrus has things in this world that he likes and are important to him. I don't want him to lose that part of himself.
Cynthia	... ... ...
Sophocles	I think so, too.: <player>... Yes! It has to be true! Right? Let's stop Cyrus together!: <player>... Thank you!
Elesa	Hehe. Didn't Cyrus completely wipe the floor with you? You've got guts—that's for sure. It's because I like this world.: Yes. I do, too. It's because spirit is important.: Yes. I agree. Let's make Cyrus understand how we feel! OK, Rotom. If you want to stop Cyrus, then you should team up with Sophocles. After our conversation just now, I think that would be best, so go with him.
Cheryl	I'll go, too. Let's stop Cyrus together.
Sophocles	Elesa, Cheryl...thank you!
(The player, Cheryl, and Sophocles leave)
Elesa	I'm going to round up some other sync pairs and search for Cyrus. What are you going to do, Cynthia?
Cynthia	Those kids are something else...
Elesa	Hm?
Cynthia	I rejected Cyrus's warped justification for wanting to change the world. I even thought, if he hates the world so much, he should go somewhere far away and leave the rest of us alone. But those kids haven't rejected Cyrus. Why, they're trying to find a way to coexist with him.
Elesa	Cynthia...
Cynthia	If they're serious about trying to stop him, then I've got to get serious myself. Both as an adult living in this world and as a Trainer!
(Transition to Cyrus in a field)
Cyrus	The time is nigh to set my dream in motion once again.
Sophocles	Cyrus!
(The player, Cheryl, and Sophocles appear)
Cyrus	It seems you've realized why I'm here. So be it...
(Cyrus sends out Palkia)
Cyrus	I won't let anyone interfere with my plans!

• Bonds of Spirit

Name	Text
(The player, Cheryl, and Sophocles battle Cyrus)
Sophocles	Cyrus, stop! You don't have to change the world!
Cyrus	This world is a twisted place full of ugly humans. It will remain that way forever unless I change the world. I will make the ultimate world. A world of complete perfection. Nothing so vague and incomplete as spirit can remain.
Sophocles	Cyrus!
Cyrus	Enough!
(Blissey and Pikachu faint)
Cheryl	So this is the power of a Legendary Pokémon...
Cyrus	A mere Rotom can do nothing against me. Allow me to pass. Step aside. You'll understand one day. Then again, whether you understand or not is irrelevant. One day, you will awaken to a world of my creation. A world without spirit. If you refuse to get out of my way...
???	Go, Kommo-o!
(Kommo-o appears)
Cyrus	Where did that Pokémon come from?!
Sophocles	It's...
(Cynthia appears)
Cheryl	Cynthia!
Cynthia	Cyrus! I won't let you try to change this world! If your strength lies in a steadfast will that rejects spirit... then mine lies in the bonds that are born from spirit! Face me, Cyrus!

• A Perfect, Complete Answer

Name	Text
(Palkia and Kommo-o battle)
Cynthia	Palkia's power is incredible...
Cyrus	Even in the hands of a Champion, your Pokémon is merely ordinary. It stands no chance against a Legendary Pokémon like Palkia. Especially if you believe in something as vague as spirit.
Cynthia	You don't understand. Spirit is what creates the bonds between people and Pokémon. Those bonds are what created this world and made it what it is today. And this world is all the more precious for it!
Cyrus	You have your beliefs. I have mine. The spirit and bonds of which you speak have warped this world beyond repair. The only remedy now is to destroy it.
Cynthia	Then you are truly lost...
Cyrus	Silence! There is nothing more to say!
Sophocles	Cyrus!
Cynthia	Listen to me, Kommo-o... I raised you from an Egg, watched you get stronger through training here on Pasio, and made you my partner Pokémon. We built our bond from the ground up. This world is full of people and Pokémon who will go on to create bonds with each other. Someone who rejects this world of ours... can never defeat us!
(Sync stone activates with a white flash)
Cynthia	My sync stone...
Cheryl	Cynthia's sync stone is shining!
Cynthia	All right, Kommo-o! Let's show them the power of our bond!
(Palkia faints)
Cyrus	What?! Palkia, the Legendary Pokémon, lost?!
Cynthia	Thank you, Kommo-o. It's over, Cyrus. You're coming with me.
Cyrus	I won't accept this! This can't be! Not after all the sacrifices we've made to get this far! What of my new world?! Of my new galaxy?! Was this all a dream to be swept away by your reality?! How could I lose to someone with an incomplete spirit?!
Cynthia	Because... you're a human being, too. Your spirit is just as incomplete as anyone else's.
Cyrus	Hrgh!
Cynthia	We're all born in different places. We live different lives and speak different languages. But the one thing we all share is that we have Pokémon by our sides to bring us joy. Because of that, we can compete in Pokémon battles against people we don't even know. That's the world we live in. Every single one of us—including you.
Cyrus	Silence! Enough of your blathering! That's how you justify spirit as something worthwhile?! That is merely humans hoping, deluding themselves that they are happy and safe! The emotions roiling inside me... Rage, hatred, frustration... These ugly emotions arise because of my own incomplete spirit!
Cynthia	Cyrus...
Sophocles	Even so, the human spirit is a precious thing! The times we're feeling sad and lonely are what make us appreciate the happy moments even more. That's why you can hate this world, Cyrus. Because you've experienced those happy moments before!
Cyrus	...
Cynthia	Sophocles...
Sophocles	If you lose your human spirit, you won't be able to feel negative emotions... but you also won't be able to experience joy or happiness, either. I can't stand the thought of a world like that! Because... if we all lose our human spirit, I can't become friends with you, Cyrus!
Cyrus	So, you and this Rotom are different from me after all. We can't understand each other.
Cynthia	Get out of here, Cyrus.
Cheryl	Cynthia?!
Cynthia	If you ever try to do something like this again, I'll see to it personally that you face justice. I won't let you change this world just because you've fallen into despair. But... I hope you change your ways while you're in this world.
Cyrus	Never. I am who I am.
(Cyrus leaves)
Sophocles	Cyrus...
Cheryl	Do you think he'll change? I do.: I'd like to hope so, too. I don't know.: I know how you feel. It's very difficult for people to change their way of thinking.
Cynthia	This experience might have been the nudge in the right direction he needed. The rest is up to him.
Sophocles	I believe he can change. He has a human spirit, too, after all!
Cynthia	Yes. I think so, too. I'm sure he'll be fine. My intuition is never wrong about this sort of thing.
(Transition to Cyrus at the Volcano)
Cyrus	I won't change. The new world I desire is far greater than this one. It has to be. That's why I must stay the course. Only then will I have a perfect, complete answer!

Legendary Event - Give and Take

• Pokémon Center

Name	Text
Professor Sycamore	There've been rumors of sightings of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas...
Professor Sycamore	Would you help me look into them?

• A Shadow Chasing Eternal Life

Name	Text
Lass	So you saw a Pokémon you've never seen before that had large antlers?
Camper	Yeah! It looked super strong! I bet it was that Legendary Pokémon people have been talking about!
Lass	You sure? Really?
Lysandre	The Life Pokémon, Xerneas... It's said it's able to give eternal life. It's a Legendary Pokémon that is the opposite of Yveltal, which takes life. I must act quickly, before it falls into the hands of foolish humans!
(Pokemon Center)
Professor Sycamore	Hey there! You're <player>, aren't you? I'm Sycamore, the Pokémon Professor of the Kalos region. Actually, I have a favor to ask of you... Have you heard the rumors that the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas showed up on Pasio? A Legendary Pokémon appeared out of the blue... I'm sure there's a reason why it came here. I may just be mistaken, though. That said, would you be willing to help us look into whether the rumors are true? I'll send the location of where we're meeting up to your Poryphone. I hope to see you there!

• Research Request: Xerneas

Name	Text
<player> headed out to the spot where Professor Sycamore wanted to meet up.
Professor Sycamore	There you are! I'm glad you came, <player>! I've heard a lot about you from Serena and Calem. You have a splendid spark in your eyes! I think you'll be able to contribute a lot to this research I'm working on!
Serena	Yeah! With <player>'s help, I think we'll definitely be able to meet Xerneas.
Calem	Plus, he's/she's awesome at battling.
Professor Sycamore	I have a great idea! Why don't we have a battle so I can see what you can do? Sure: Great answer! Then I choose you, Bulbasaur! You want to battle me?: Yup! Here's my partner Pokémon! Ready? Here we go! (After battle) Wow, you got me! You're even better than I expected! I'm so moved right now by you and your partner Pokémon! You looked great battling together! I'm a Pokémon Professor, so I'm more interested in Pokémon and sync pairs than battles! With that kind of skill, we should have no trouble unveiling the mysteries of Xerneas! Xerneas is the Life Pokémon. They say when the horns on its head shine in seven colors, it can share eternal life. I can't wait to see what kind of Pokémon it is! Let's start searching for clues, shall we? Most of the sightings seem to be happening near the forest and mountainous areas... Oh? I need to take this call. Why don't you go on ahead and start looking? I'll catch up to you once I'm done.
Calem	Understood!
Serena	OK! Let's get going, Calem and <player>!
(Screen fades to black)
Professor Sycamore	Hello? Yes, I just had a battle with him/her. He's/She's a great Trainer, just like you said! So, about that thing I asked you about before... Understood. Thanks for your help!
(Back to Professor Sycamore)
Professor Sycamore	If he's really here, I have to make sure I take care of things the right way this time.

• A Beautiful World

Name	Text
<player> and the others found themselves near the woods after searching all over Pasio for leads on Xerneas.
Professor Sycamore	I heard that these woods have been bearing more Berries than before—and that the plants have been looking healthier, too. And that was information from Ramos, the Grass-type Pokémon expert. He's been keeping an eye on these woods every day.
Serena	So if Xerneas is nearby, it has an effect on the nature around it?
Professor Sycamore	Yup. That's why I thought that if there were a spot where plants are looking extra healthy, that might lead us to where Xerneas is. What a Professor-like answer!: Thanks! But we're not sure yet if my knowledge still applies when it comes to Legendary Pokémon. Think we'll encounter Xerneas here?: Wouldn't it be great if we did? Though I suppose we should also apologize for bothering it so late at night. Did you hear that?
(Xerneas appears)
Calem	Could that be...Xerneas?!
Serena	It's so beautiful!
Professor Sycamore	Wonderful! I'm so glad we were finally able to encounter it! Easy now—let's slowly approach... Wait... Doesn't it look like it's on guard?
(Lysandre appears)
Lysandre	That's as far as you'll go. It's been a while, children. And...Professor Sycamore.
Serena	Lysandre!
Calem	What are you doing here?
Lysandre	What, does it really surprise you that I'm here? I am here to carry out my mission! And that mission is to create a beautiful world! There is a limit to the amount of money and energy the world is capable of producing. People will only fight over what limited resources we have... Those unproductive fools are consuming our future! If nothing changes, the world will become ugly and conflicts will raze the land from end to end. The only thing we can do in order to live in a world with no fighting and stealing is to reduce the number of lives in it! Xerneas has the power to grant eternal life. This will only sow the seeds of such conflict. Before it is left in the hands of fools, I must make it mine. But it appears you won't let me do that so easily, will you. In that case, before you truly get in the way of my plans... I hate to do this, but I'll have you disappear.
Serena	Lysandre! Why are you still doing this?
Lysandre	Again with the questions? I could ask the same question right back to you. It appears that Team Break—or whatever that foolish group calls itself—has been festering on this island. You want me to believe in humanity, even after seeing them do all those things?
Serena	Not all sync pairs on Pasio are like Team Break!
Lysandre	Sync pairs... You mean the special relationship between people and Pokémon that exists only on this island?
Serena	Yeah! Building a stronger relationship with our Pokémon allows us to unleash our potential!
Calem	We aren't just using that power for battling! We're researching how we can use it as an energy source, too! So we might be able to solve that problem you mentioned—that problem about people fighting over limited resources!
Lysandre	I see... That is quite interesting. However, let me ask you this. What about those who were not chosen to be a sync pair?
Serena	Huh?
Lysandre	Don't people and Pokémon simply choose the best of the best—the strongest partners they can find? Human greed is foolish and never-ending. This will only lead to more fighting, and the cycle will never end. Team Break is the perfect example of that. Furthermore, how are these two ideologies any different from each other? Choosing a partner to aim for greater heights... or selecting the chosen ones to stay in a beautiful world?
Calem	You've got it all wrong! We don't pick and choose when it comes to our partner Pokémon! It's different, but...
Lysandre	You don't have a decisive answer for that, eh? In that case, why don't we ask our Pokémon who is right?
(Lysandre sends out Honchkrow)

• As Friends...

Name	Text
Serena	Lysandre! We won't let you have your way!
Calem	Yeah! We won't let you lay a finger on Xerneas!
(Calem's Meowstic, Serena's Delphox, and the player's Pikachu battle Honchkrow)
Serena	Go! Delphox!
(Honchkrow faints)
Lysandre	You are strong. I suppose you would be, given you were chosen by Professor Sycamore.
Professor Sycamore	Lysandre, please listen to us! We—
Lysandre	However, will you still be able to stand strong, even with THIS as your opponent?
(Lysandre sends out Yveltal)
Lysandre	Show me the flame of your convictions!
Serena	Yveltal?! Why?
Professor Sycamore	How could you?
Lysandre	Yveltal is the Destruction Pokémon and the polar opposite of Xerneas! If I allow it to release its power as it pleases, it will drain the life of all living creatures! If you don't stop me, the lives of the fools on this island will be taken. Along with Xerneas!
Calem	We'll stop you! Let's go, Meowstic!
Serena	Please, Delphox! Help us stop Lysandre and Yveltal!
Lysandre	Yveltal, show them your true power!
(Meowstic, Delphox, and Pikachu faint)
Serena	No way!
Calem	No! He's too strong!
Lysandre	Whether it's money or energy, the ones who steal are the ones who win in this world. That's why this world is based on the egotistical whims of selfish people. There's nothing we can do to save this world! There's only so much it can take!
Professor Sycamore	Lysandre! Isn't it our job to change those things that seem impossible to do? We strived to enrich the lives of people and Pokémon! We work in different fields, but we're both researchers! That's why we became friends!
Lysandre	Yes, we became friends after talking about our ideals... However! No matter how much effort we put into it, fools continue to steal what we've created! The world is too full of fools that we can't save through our hard work alone... That's why the only way to save the world is to take it for myself!
Professor Sycamore	I...understand your struggle, Lysandre. But I can't accept your answer!
(Professor Sycamore sends out Bulbasaur)
Professor Sycamore	If all you see in the future is despair, then it is my duty as your friend to give you hope!
Lysandre	Your convictions are remarkable... However!
(Bulbasaur faints)
Professor Sycamore	Urgh!
Lysandre	Conviction without power cannot save anyone.
Serena	Professor Sycamore! Are you OK?
(Everyone is inflicted by Yveltal)
Serena	Urgh!
Calem	It's getting harder to breathe... Is it because of Yveltal?
Professor Sycamore	I'll be fine! You all take Xerneas and get away from here! I didn't expect him to have Yveltal on his side. Go... Get help from everyone else here on Pasio!
Calem	But we can't just leave you here, Professor!
Professor Sycamore	No, I need to speak with Lysandre... This time, I need to fulfill my duty...as his friend! Xerneas, what are you doing?

• Message to the Future

Name	Text
(Xerneas purifies the area)
Professor Sycamore	I can breathe better now... Was it thanks to you? Thank you! I'm OK now. Please go and help the people of Pasio!
(Xerneas purifies the area again)
Serena	Wow, I feel so much better! And it's so warm!
Calem	I bet Xerneas's life power is negating Yveltal's power!
Professor Sycamore	Xerneas, are you trying to stop Yveltal? It seems we're on the same page. Then...will you lend me your power?
Lysandre	So this is the mighty Xerneas? You need help from a human? And to think that the person you ask for help is none other than Professor Sycamore...
Professor Sycamore	That's right, Lysandre. There's no way to predict the future.
Lysandre	What?
Professor Sycamore	Lysandre, when you were just a child, what did you imagine when you thought of the future—of where we are now? I couldn't predict anything at all. I didn't even really know what I wanted to be in the future, either. That's why I wrote myself a message—a message to my future self—asking if I've become what I wanted to be.
Serena	Oh! Could that be that message in Couriway Town?
Calem	Serena, you knew about that?
Professor Sycamore	Yes, I guess Serena's found it, too. Today, I might be someone different from who I imagined I'd be when I was younger. But I can say this with pride! I am having fun and living my life to its fullest! There are many paths in front of me. Now, I'm a Pokémon Professor... But it was challenging myself and giving up on other things that shaped my future! Those changes weren't always bad—they made me who I am today! That's why it's impossible to predict the future! You said so yourself, remember? “The future isn't decided.”
Lysandre	That's right, the future isn't decided! That's why we can't be sure each day will be like the one before! We don't know what will happen...yet you want me to have hope? That's a delusion! What I see is—!
Professor Sycamore	You made the Holo Caster, didn't you?
Lysandre	... ... ...
Professor Sycamore	In the past, it was just a figment of our imagination, but you were able to make it in real life! It's an amazing invention! I think that those endless possibilities are what change the future. It's not just the power of one person. That's why I do what I do, Lysandre. And it's why I look forward to sending these children off on their adventures with Pokémon. They always come back with wonderful dreams and discoveries—things that surpass my imagination! We need to stop being so proud and put more effort into helping these children reach their potential. We can't decide the future just from how you think it'll turn out!
Lysandre	I did everything I could! But it was all in vain! As long as there are fools in this world, all that potential we raised will also be stolen! Enough of this unfruitful debate! Let us ask these Pokémon who is right!

• Flames of Conviction

Name	Text
(Xerneas and Yveltal battle)
Serena	What a strong clash of power... I want to help, but I don't think it'll do any good!
Lysandre	To think that it would be able to withstand Yveltal's attacks... That means that the power to give and the power to take are equal!
Professor Sycamore	Lysandre! You don't have to rush to a conclusion! We can still find a way to save everyone!
Lysandre	Nothing can change me now! This is the path I must take! Even if I can only save a handful of the old world! No matter the means, I will change this world back to its former beauty! Here in my hands, I have a switch. It's for a weapon that will erase foolish humans from the world and restore it to its original beautiful state. Xerneas sidetracked my plans a bit... And this weapon isn't as strong as what I prepared back in Kalos, but it's enough to get rid of Xerneas and this entire island!
Calem	What?!
Lysandre	No matter who wins this battle, we can't change the tragic future that awaits us! Professor Sycamore...and you children chosen by him...
Serena	Stop it!
(Screen fades to white)
Lysandre	I'm sorry, but this is adieu.
(Back to Lysandre)
Lysandre	... ... ... Why?! Why won't it activate?
Professor Sycamore	Looks like they made it just in time.
Clemont	Professor! Just like you said, we found a suspicious device! We all got together to cut off its energy! It won't be able to activate now! How's that, Team Flare! This is payback for that power outage in Lumiose City!
(Back to the forest)
Professor Sycamore	What was that call about?: Clemont and the others were able to stop the weapon from activating! Was that Clemont's voice I heard?: Yup! I had him gather some sync pairs that know a lot about machines! They worked together and defused the weapon! I secretly had Clemont and the others working on things so that we could stop your plan, Lysandre. Actually, I knew you were here on Pasio, though I had no proof of it. <player>, you know... No matter what Lysandre did on Pasio, for any reason... I knew that your shining and boundless potential would allow us to get Xerneas to understand us. Not only that—I had a feeling you'd be able to help us change Lysandre's mind and change the future into something new. But now...I suppose I should take responsibility, given the situation. Lysandre, we were able to change the terrible future you thought was going to happen. But it wasn't just the power of one person. We all worked together to make it happen. Your convictions would reduce these infinite hopes and possibilities. Don't you think so?
Lysandre	... ... ... Heh. It seems I wasn't able to completely take away the flame of conviction in your heart.
(Lysandre calls back Yveltal)
Lysandre	You were able to work with Xerneas—that makes you a chosen one. You and those children... I suppose I should admit you might have the potential to change the future. However...my convictions haven't changed.
Professor Sycamore	That's unfortunate.
Lysandre	I cannot simply erase the flame of conviction in my heart. So remember this... If you ever use Xerneas's power for the wrong reasons, or if your convictions turn down the wrong path...
Professor Sycamore	Yes, I know. I'll remember that. I definitely won't let that happen to any of us.
Lysandre	I look forward to that...old friend. I won't give up! I will continue to make this world a more beautiful existence!
(Lysandre leaves)
Serena	I wonder if he really gets it or not...
Professor Sycamore	Even if he doesn't understand it now, I'm sure he'll change his ways eventually. Because his dream is to make the world a better place, just like ours is.
