Xerosic (Japanese: クセロシキ Xerosicy) is one of five Team Flare scientists in Pokémon X and Y.

In the games

Xerosic is one of five Team Flare scientists that are the driving force behind the team. He is the only male Scientist of them all, who has red goggles and hair that makes an impression. He is first encountered in the basements of Lysandre Labs.

Later, he runs his own lab from a hidden floor of Team Flare's lab. He uses Emma (unwittingly on Emma's part) in his experiments using his remote-controlled Expansion Suit. Part of his "experiments" involved hacking and stealing Pokéballs, alerting Looker.

After being apprehended, he donated all of his Pokémon, and the (no longer remote operated) Expansion Suit to Emma.

Quotes

Pokémon X and Y

Lysandre Labs

• Before battle

"So the Poké Balls we received and the Pokémon we've gathered are where they need to be. Add it all up, and it means all preparations are complete!"

"Oh ho ho! You're the one I've heard so much about! I've been waiting for you! I need to do a little research on you! Come, let us begin!"

• Being defeated

"Oh ho ho! You're wonderful! Your Pokémon are amazing!"

• After being defeated

"Wonderful! Amazing! You have tremendous skill and bravery! When you add that up, it means I will tell you something very interesting. It happened 3,000 years ago. The ultimate weapon was used to put an end to the war in an instant. If we use that incredible power, we can finally free Kalos of the foolish humans that plague it! Behind me you'll find a red button and a blue button. One of them is the button for activating the ultimate weapon. Push one now! Come on! Push one!"

Red button: "You pushed it! Oh ho ho! You pushed the little red button! Too bad...for you! Pushing that button has enabled us to use the ultimate weapon! Don't feel too down, though. I would have activated it even if you had guessed correctly.

Blue button: "You pressed it! Oh ho ho! You pressed the blue switch! Winner, winner! Congratulations! But I'm still going to activate the ultimate weapon! I know the boss promised that we wouldn't if you pushed the correct button, but I refuse to let the potential go to waste! I'll just use my remote, here! Click-click! And the power is ON!

Either way: Come on! Look! Look at the monitor!"

• If talked to before pushing the button

"I'm very curious to see the results of my research. To use the ultimate weapon to cleanse this world once and for all... It's fascinating!"

• After pushing the button

"Did you see? The ultimate weapon is reborn! The poisonous flower has bloomed! All shall perish! Except for Team Flare! Look at Geosenge! It has bloomed in Geosenge Town! The boss's dream of creating a beautiful world will come true! Add it all up, and it equals... a victory for our SCIENCE!"
