User blog comment:Ordeaux26/Pure Evil Proposal - Xerosic (Anime)/@comment-38041270-20191221164939

The half of me says yes:

Working as the chief scientist of Team Flare, Xerosic is fully complicit in his boss Lysandre's desires to wipe out humanity. After acquiring the Zygarde known as Z2, he conducts painful experiments on it, causing destruction across the Kalos region. Advancing to the final stage of the operation, Xerosic brainwashes Z2 before unleashing its full power upon Lumiose City, admiring the destruction that it causes and brainwashing the other Zygarde, Squishy, when it intervenes. When Team Flare disbanded after Lysandre's death, Xerosic starts collecting the Zygarde cells in order to start the attempted apocalypse all over again and almost brainwashes Clemont to be his servent.
