XY robbed us of a potential blackmail story line or something, there is no way this dude was so aloof that he didn't think Lysandre was insane.

Did Lysandre fund his research? what did he mean when he said:

"Lysandre is a great man. He supports Trainers and Pokémon research with some of the profit from the Holo Caster."

"What a passionate person. He's just like a blazing flame. Perhaps his pride in his lineage is what makes him burn so intensely."
