Thoughts on Flare!Sycamore

So the idea of Professor Sycamore being a member of Team
Flare. I’ve always loved the idea and thought at a time that that was a twist
that Game Freak was planning to pull in X and Y’s story. So when it didn’t
happen I was a bit shocked, but actually a bit more disappointed.

Flare!Sycamore is extremely fun to explore because it causes
you to have to consider what would cause the Professor, the loveable dork, to
be a member of such a group. (The answer can’t just be Lys’ cummies.) I’ve seen
it considered that he is a secret member of the group in an effort to thwart Lysandre’s
plan and I love that idea to pieces. However, what about the idea that he is a
completely willing member of the group. Someone who is willing to stick with
the whole end goal regardless.

This is simply an idea, or a headcanon of sorts. By no means
do I think that there is hard evidence to suggest that he actually was. I
simply want to create a scenario in which it may be believable that he was a
willing member if Team Flare and not just a spy in the ranks.

Save me I am drowning in WIP’s already!!! (I have something plotted for this idea, but that is going to mature a bit before it gets written.) 

@mageofthelufaines actually took this and wrote a wonderful one-shot off of it! (post here) and on (Ao3 here)
