SEMI-PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE ( information lesser know )

Lysandre is a member of the royal family, technically. Though he never talks about this and when it's mentioned to him he sort of chuckles and waves it off. He doesn't really care about it.

Funding provided by Lysandre Labs is easy to get ... but all results and the process itself is often overseen by a representative of LL. Material is often provided by LL, some things are required to be used to keep the funding provided.

Lysandre Lab's research on the Zygarde cells and cores is semi-public, it can be accessed, but it requires a lot of pushing.

Lysandre has been on record saying that Team Plasma is terrible :) On record hates the organization and has said that they are likely tricking the entirety of Unova. When Plasma's goals were revealed, all he did was gesture at his previous statements.

Lysandre Labs has four main lab locations, a Central Lab HQ, a West Lab HQ, an East Lab HQ, and a North Lab HQ. These are all public access, though it takes a bit of digging to actually find out how to tour them.

To be hired into Lysandre Labs, one has to either be an Intern--which if you're an Intern, you're practically guaranteed to be hired--or you have to either reach out or be reached out to DIRECTLY by Lysandre.

PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE ( information only specific people know )

Everyone that gets funding from LL is being tracked and noted as a person or organization of interest.

Lysandre has loose surveillance on Ree and Po Town after the zygarde core incident.

Lysandre is the leader and founder of Team Flare.

Lysandre Labs is the public face of Team Flare, Team Flare itself is private and completely invisible to public knowledge.

Team Flare was originally formed as a secretive organization made to pull the strings in assistance the population of Kalos and eventually the world.

Team Flare is presently a surveillance cult, made up of a majority scientist population.

Flare has a fully functional cloning facility beneath the LL West HQ.

Flare has a functioning purifying tank for Shadow Pokemon. However, they are currently still researching ways to make the process more streamline as well as a way to use that energy extracted from the corrupted Pokemon.

Flare has captured yveltal, volcanion, jirachi, cosmog, and articuno. However, all have been released willingly or have escaped.

Yveltal was in captivity for the longest, a total of eight years in it's cocoon form. These years were spent analyzing and evaluating everything about the legendary. However, due to it's sleeping state, they were incapable of getting everything from it.

During their time with Yveltal in captivity, they both collected cell samples as well as put multiple tracking chips into the legendary.

Unfortunately, Yveltal escaped about 3 years before the beginning of XY. It escaped after an incident with another experiment, which soon was followed by the escape of the experiment that caused that incident. The chips in Yveltal were broke as soon as it awakened temporarily from it's cocoon state.

Flare has some research on Xerneas, but it is nowhere near the amount done on Yveltal. They are actively looking to find more about Xerneas.

Flare has gotten their hands on three zygarde cores, with two currently in it's possession. Prior to the events of the game, they were in the possession of the red core and white core, during the events of the game, they were in possession of the blue and white core, with the red core escaping.

Hybridization projects are generally a means to an end, projects that might be fronting as a creation of a hybrid, are often not the end result. The end result of hybridization is between Cloning and learning to what extend a certain species can fuse with another, as well as how to create something new.

Flare has four different types of members--grunts, scientists, heads, and administrators. With the exception of some grunts, every other type, they are practically required to be some sort of scientist or engineer.

You cannot join Flare unless you were specifically given an application by Lysandre or an administrator. No matter what, you will be required to be approved by Lysandre himself to join.

The 'payment' of Flare, is only required for those that are not actually Chosen. Members that are assured Chosen are welcomed in with open arms, those that believe that Flare is just an organization for the rich--often grunts--are the ones that pay.

Everyone in Flare has likely gone through a 'purifying' process. This isn't necessarily a physically permanent process, but it is a form of hazing. Lysandre does this himself, generally this can range from burning away the ugly parts of someone--emotionally/mentally--or drowning it out.

Lysandre has a silent agreement with Giovanni to not interact with Rocket activity so long as Rocket stays out of Kalos. [This also depends on the Giovanni and can be changed/removed altogether]

Members of other evil teams entering Kalos are often disappeared if they are still actively in the team. Even if they aren't actively in it, they will be surveyed till they leave.

Kalos is a surveillance state. Hiding anything in Kalos is nigh impossible. Lysandre--or at least Flare--will know if someone enters Kalos or if someone leaves Kalos. There is little to no way to avoid being surveyed while on Kalos grounds, especially in recent years. This was more possible a couple years ago--but after the escape of both Yveltal and SYv:D, this surveillance was taken to beyond immediately. A "surprise visit" is nigh impossible in Kalos.

There is a hidden lab below Pokemon Village. Only Lysandre and administrators know about this lab.

Every single lab for Lysandre Labs has a specialized Flare lab beneath them.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE ( information that only lysandre and probably only xerosic knows )

Lysandre has emotional outbursts. These are rare, but when they happen they are extreme and often result in damage of an area or even others.

Lysandre's hunger for beauty is something that will never be quenched, no matter what, he always craves more and more. The world will die, be revived, and repeated over and over, and he will still want to know more.
