ā€œWhy, whatever did you think this was? What all of these past few years have
been?

ā€œLysandre
saw your potential at exactly the same moment I did, but he was far too
impatient and propositioned you straight away. I took a more careful approach,
tested you, observed you, giving you the enormous task of uncovering the
mysteries behind Mega Evolution in my stead, making sure you practised your
potential, helped develop it into something more.

“Granted,
it took a little longer than Iā€™d initially intendedā€¦but I had to make sure.
And I am very pleased with the results. After assessing your progress, I can
easily say with pride that youā€™ve exceeded my expectations, and I am now offering
you the chance to join us.

"Now,
please sit back, and allow me to further convince you why you should accept.ā€

Mmmyeah Iā€™ve discovered that I have a nasty habit of trying to make fanon out of canon ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

After replaying Pokemon X, Iā€™ve noticed that the games give so many opportunities to play around with the idea of Sycamoreā€™s involvement with Team Flare, and I couldnā€™t pass it up šŸ˜€

So true! I love me some shady Sycamore and Sycamore/Lysandre relationship.

Meanwhile, for all the development, the anime decided to make them complete strangers. How silly and cruel is that? Especially that you would expect a leading pokemon researcher of Kalos and a director of great
research institute to have some chat at some point. Not to mentionā€¦ the whole thing with Alan would be a lot more appropriate, dramatic and interesting if Sycamore and Lysandre actually knew one another. Not only befriending/manipulating/corrupting such a ā€œpure boyā€ but stealing his good friendā€™s pupil for his own hidden agenda.

Y E S to all of this.

I think about what could have been. I love angst tbh, so imagine the potential if Sycamore had been with Lysandre since the beginning or at least supports him and Alain finds out, like would he still go up against Lysandre or would he be too shocked/pain to stand up to Sycamore.

Thoughts on Flare!Sycamore

So the idea of Professor Sycamore being a member of Team
Flare. Iā€™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 Yā€™s story. So when it didnā€™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 canā€™t just be Lysā€™ cummies.) Iā€™ve seen
it considered that he is a secret member of the group in an effort to thwart Lysandreā€™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 WIPā€™s already!!! (I have something plotted for this idea, but that is going to mature a bit before it gets written.)Ā 

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