Welcome...to the prequel of Pokemon Y: Beyond.
This is a complete AU to actual canon. Here's what I mean:
1. Lysandre is two years older than Sycamore.
2. Malva is teenager at the time. Oh, she and Lysandre are also cousins. And she isn't part of the elite four yet.
3. The Pokemon Village will be replaced with something I made up called the Fairy Forest
4. There will NOT be any Perfectworldshipping T-T
5. No slash for once
6. Lysandre was formally a scientist working along side Sycamore.
WARNING: AU, Mild Language, Lysandre/OC, OOCness, some angst, future Pokemon death, M rating in future chapters for ONE smut scene.
I do NOT own Pokemon. If I did, Perfectworldshipping would be canon and Sycamore would've joined Team Flare :p
Flames will be used to power up the ultimate weapon

The baking heat of the Summer sun cooked on everyone who was foolish to be out on the Heat Warning given out that morning. People walked around Lumiose with tank and shorts or with an umbrella above their head. Ice Cream stands were packed with people and children hoping to cool off. More people went to cafes because of how well air conditioned they were. It was just your average summer in Kalos.
...
"How's the AC coming up?" a young man dressed in long black pants and a blue button-up shirt with its high collar lying flat asked. He had dark blue colored hair that had magnificent bangs hanging down in front of his face and the side of it. The man had unbutton his shirt halfway because of how hot the heat was outside. Sweat was clearly seen dripping from his forehead.
The other man-two years older-stopped midway and glared down at the other. "Do I have to answer?" he asked before going back to work on the AC. This man had removed his shirt completely, revealing a nicely built bare chest and leaving him with only his black pants.
The other man crossed his arm and grinned up playfully at his friend. "C'mon, Lsy! I was only playing around. Did the heat get to ya or something?" he snickered.
Lys, or Lysandre as he's normally called, stopped a bit and sighed. "When did I suddenly feel like the man in charge?" he muttered under his breath as he went back to work.
"Merrrr!"
A Litleo and Gible, playfully chasing eachaother, ran into the spacious office room. Running under, around, or over furniture. Lysandre did his best to ignore them as he worked on the AC. Eventually, he reached a breaking point. "Professor Sycamore can you PLEASE take them to another room while work?" he said between gritted teeth.
"Why? They're just playing." Sycamore protested.
"Hey. You're not the one up on a ladder with a wrench in his hand working on a broken AC during a damn Heat Warning!" Lysandre snapped before he went back to work.
Sycamore looked up at his friend/student with a worried look. Maybe he should've called the man to come fix it instead. Lysandre already had a lot on his shoulders. With his girlfriend breaking up with him recently and all his failed charity conventions. Augustine couldn't help but feel bad for the man. Gible and Litleo, oblivious to what was going on around them, suddenly ran in between the Professor's legs.
"Gible! Litleo!" the Professor scolded when he lost his balance slightly.
The two Pokemon didn't seem to hear them since they were still fairly young and were playfully crying out at one another. They ran in between the Professor's legs again. But this time they accidentally caused him to lose his balance.
"W-woah...WAAAAAAAH!"
Lysandre, who had been ignoring them the entire time as he finished fixing the AC, let out a cry of alarm when he suddenly felt the ladder lose balance and they fell to the floor. Both Gible and Litleo watched under a table before flinching once the ladder fell to the floor. Lysandre was literally right on top of Sycamore. Lysandre groaned a bit before he pushed himself up on both arms and looked down at Sycamore. Sycamore opened his eyes and grinned nervously at the other man.
"Only playing huh?" Lysandre said.
*Ding*
"Damn, it's hot out." a teenaged girl, just having turned nineteen, sighed as she stepped out of the elevator. She wore nothing but an orange Midriff Halter Top, red jean shorts and flops. Her surprisingly natural pink hair was tied in a rather long ponytail and on her face were orange sunglasses.
"Litwick..." the Litwick that was perched on her shoulder agreed.
"Huh?" the teenager came to a dead halt when she saw her cousin kneeling above the professor on the floor without a shirt on. Her face suddenly turned a blazing pink. "Is...this a bad time?" she asked.
"What?" Lysandre looked down and jumped back when he realized what he was doing. Both men's faces were a blazing red. "Listen," Lysandre whispered to his cousin sternly, "what you just saw is NOT what you think it is. I was only trying to fix the bloody air conditioner when Augustine accidentally bumped into the ladder and we both fell. Understand, Malva?"
Malva blinked behind her glasses. Still trying to take everything in. "Right... That explains why it's so hot in here, too." she said.
"Why are you here anyway?" Lysandre asked as he put his button-up red collared shirt back on.
"That's no way to speak to such a lovely lady." Sycamore said teasingly.
"Oh. Thank you." Malva said smugly as she held her head high and placed both fists on her hips. Litwick merely sighed.
"But Lysandre's right, what are you doing here?" Sycamore then asked as he took a seat on his desk.
"I was just in the neighborhood and I decided to drop by and see my dorky cousin."
Lysandre, who had just put the ladder back up to resume working on the AC, perked his head up when he heard this. "Dorky?" he asked in a deadly tone as he slowly looked over his shoulder and furrowed his eyebrows.
"Uh oh." Litleo whispered to Gible as the two slowly retreated back under the couch.
Lysandre approached Malva with an angry expression before he was immediately held back by Sycamore. "I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S DORKY!" he yelled between clenched teeth as he attempted to reach out and grab Malva as she calmly stood where she was with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"It ain't worth it, Lysandre!" Sycamore grunted as he struggled to hold the taller and stronger man back, "It ain't worth it!"
Lysandre calmed down and merely gave Malva a glare before picking up his wrench and going back to work. Even though they weren't siblings, they sure acted like it sometimes!
The telephone on Sycamore's desk started ringing. The professor went over and picked it up. "Hello?" he asked. "...Oh! Diantha! How's it been?"
"Is that Diantha?" Lysandre asked. When Sycamore nodded he added, "Tell her is said 'hi'."
"Lysandre said 'hi'." Sycamore said. The professor then snickered. "She knows." he said. Lysandre merely grumbled to himself in reply.
"So what's up?" Sycamore then asked. After a few minutes of silence the professor's gray eyes widened and he stood up. "Shut up..." he said, "Are you serious?"
Malva looked up at her cousin with a confused expression on her face. She then mouthed, "What are they talking about?"
Lysandre shrugged.
"Really?" the professor was beginning to get more excited, "Today? What time?... NOW!?"
Malva jumped back in surprise and accidentally knocked the ladder over. Augustine didn't even bother to look behind him, nor let go of the phone when he heard Lysandre and the ladder crash behind him. "We're going over right now." Sycamore finished, "Bye."
"What was that about?" Malva asked as she helped her slightly dazed cousin up.
Sycamore spun around and grinned happily at his students. "Diantha told me that my sister's coming home from her studies in Sinnoh! We've got to get to the Airport ASAP!" he said as he quickly took his lab coat off the coat hanger.
"I didn't even know he had a sister." Malva said as she and Lysandre followed him to the elevator.
"Neither did I." Lysandre groaned as he rubbed his head. Litleo and Gible immediately ran into the elevator as well to join them. The elevator doors closed and they all went down.

What do you think so far? Remember this is an AU and a prequel. So practically everyone is younger. Plus this occurs in the early 90s or something. So you'll be hearing news about Team Rocket from time to time.
