Calem and I battled against a Team Flare Admin and a Team Flare grunt as we headed down to see Xerneas. The Admin and grunt used Toxicroak and Liepard and I beat the Liepard with Lucario's Aura Sphere and Calem defeated Toxicroak with his Meowstic's Psychic attack. We continued to move along the stairway after that battle and encountered another Team Flare Admin and grunt. We beat their Manectric and Mightyena as well, then I met Shauna again and spoke to her and continued down the hallway, but I had to battle another Admin and grunt. After me and Calem beat their Houndoom and Scrafty, we arrived at the door that led down to Xerneas's location. Once inside we saw the tree-like formation in the middle.
