Story/Gameplay
>The story starts off with the discovery of a large amount of infinity energy being found in the middle of what was at the time a run down Lumiose City, leading to many people moving there.
>This energy spot is known as an "Infinity Fountain" and there are six total fountains found throughout Anthos
>The other five fountains have been sacred locations in Anthos and the sixth one found in Lumiose City was lost to time until it was uncovered by Pavlos
>These other fountains are guarded by 5 ancient Pokemon known as the "Guardians."
>These five Pokemon were the other 5 companions of AZ along with his Floette
>The 5 Guardians were present at the firing of the Ultimate Weapon so they all gained immortality along with AZ
>The 5 Guardians are Kleavor, Slowking, Heliolisk, Gogoat, and Dragonite. You fight them in their Mega evolved forms in the game's boss battles.
>These Guardians all have "Retainers." These retainers are part of a clan that work alongside the Royal Family
>The 5 Retainers are the spokespeople for the Guardians. Think of them being like a Kalos equivalent to the Draconids mixed with the Wardens from PLA
>The sixth guardian responsible for protecting the Inifinity Fountain in Lumiose City was AZ's Floette, but since it had left to somewhere unknown it was left unprotected
>The discovery of this Infinity Fountain and the potential of it being able to revolutionize technology of the time leads to Pavlos founding Project Flare within the Quasar Company, beginning the reurbanization of Lumiose City.
>Project Flare is a project wherein the Quasar Company uses the Infinity Fountains in order to expand the living space of Lumiose City, but also to keep in mind the existing habitats of the Pokemon living just outside the expanding city. It's to "give some flare" to the old Lumiose City.
>However Pavlos' vision for the city is so large-scale that it would require all 6 Inifinity Fountains in order for Lumiose City to be properly powered
