Cynical Optimist
I don't think he ever did. The only way Lysandre could know is if he's been watching the League.
I kinda like that Ash is meeting him now, if only to up the stakes later. Lysandre is no longer a faceless individual to the main cast. They're meeting him now (or at least Ash is) and it should make any confrontation between them later quite interesting. What we do know, however, is that clearly from the beginning the League and Flare were always meant to be intertwined in this way, like one was just a part of the other rather than its own thing. Could explain quite a bit...
wow i've been watching under the impression that team flare knew all about ash-greninja due to Alain, but tbf I never watched the subs, I only watched it raw when it came out and haven't caught up with the subs
So I really think Lysandre will ask Ash a lot of really weird questions too potentially. I bet Lysandre will almost want to study Greninja and Ash and how they create theyre own energy or wa=hatever.
