+The '''Seven Sages''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|七賢人|しちけんじん}}''' ''Seven Sages'') are notable ranking members of [[Team Plasma]]. They are a group of intelligent people from all over the {{pkmn|world}}. This group consists of [[Gorm]], [[Bronius]], [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]], [[Giallo]], [[Ryoku]], and [[Ghetsis]]. Ghetsis gathered the sages, and acts as their internal leader.

+==In the games==
+===Pokémon Black and White===
+The sages are met individually throughout the games, but all of them are seen together in [[N's Castle]] where they block the way to N. All the [[Gym Leader]]s (with the exception of [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]]) appear and clear the way to N. They typically refrain from battling, having {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt|Grunts}} do so for them.

+After [[Ghetsis]] has been defeated, the player must help [[Looker]] find the remaining six sages all over [[Unova]]. Upon being found, each will give the player a [[TM]].

+[[Rood]] is encountered in [[Driftveil City]], living with [[Anthea and Concordia]] and several Grunts in the original Team Plasma's safehouse. After losing in a battle with the {{player}}, he gives the player N's {{p|Zorua}}. Shortly afterward, he appears on {{rt|6|Unova}} after the player has encountered {{p|Cobalion}}. Later, he appears leading the members of the original Team Plasma against Ghetsis's new Team Plasma at the [[Giant Chasm]], occupying their forces to allow the player to reach Ghetsis himself.

+[[Zinzolin]] has joined the new Team Plasma under Ghetsis's leadership and battles the player several times. After the end of the game, he visits [[Undella Town]] and will give the player research conducted by Ghetsis that allows translation of the coded messages in the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. For reaching the end of the Abyssal Ruins, he will give the player a [[Big Pearl]] and subsequently departs.

+The Seven Sages appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''. They, along with Ghetsis, were leading a ceremony involving {{an|N}} at N's Castle. However, the ceremony was interrupted when {{an|Reshiram}} suddenly appeared and set the Castle on fire, causing all of them excluding Ghetsis to flee in terror. Unlike their {{pkmn|games|game}} and {{pkmn|manga}} counterparts, the Seven Sages (except Ghetsis) appear to be young and have no distinct identities.

+The Seven Sages debuted as a group in ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]''. Each sage has several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s as their subordinates. The only exception is Ghetsis, who has the [[Shadow Triad]] as his subordinates. Each individual sage was given a task to further Team Plasma's ideals by Ghetsis.

-| style="{{roundybl|5px}} background: #{{water color light}}" |[[File:Asurawalkdown.png]]
+* Gorm was given the task of collecting information about the Unova Legendary Pokémon, {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}. His search led to stealing the [[Dragon Skull|Dragon Fossil]] from {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}, but was stopped by {{adv|Black}} and [[Burgh]].
-| style="background: #{{water color light}}" |Asura <!--アスラ-->
+* Bronius was tasked with spreading Team Plasma's ideals to the populace. In ''[[PS479|The Case of the Missing Pokémon]]'', he supervised the kidnapping of Pokémon in [[Castelia City]], including {{adv|Bianca}}'s {{p|Litwick}}, but was stopped by Black.
-| style="background: #{{water color light}}" |{{color2|000|Yaguruma Forest}}
+* Ryoku was tasked with capturing {{p|Volcarona}} at the [[Desert Resort]]. He eventually succeeded and presented Volcarona to Ghetsis.
-| style="background: #{{water color light}}" |{{color2|000|Site of Dreams}}
+* Giallo was tasked with capturing {{adv|Forces of Nature|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus}} to strengthen Team Plasma's forces. He succeeded this goal in ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]''.
-| style="{{roundybr|5px}} background: #{{water color light}}" |{{TMic|Normal|75|Swords Dance}} {{color2|000|TM75}} ({{mcolor|Swords Dance|000}})
+* Zinzolin was not given a task by Ghetsis, as he questioned why Gorm was given the role to research {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} despite him having already done research on the two. In the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, he was revealed to have defied Ghetsis's orders and done research involving {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}}, having even managed to find and capture it for himself.
-|}
+* Rood was tasked with capturing {{p|Victini}}. His Grunts attempted to complete this task in ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]'', but were defeated by Black. In the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, Rood was revealed to have also been directly in charge of {{adv|Whitley}} and {{OBP|Mom|Black 2 and White 2|her mother}} when they were Team Plasma members.
 ==Trivia==
-* They share noticeable similarities with the {{wp|Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove}}.
+* The group shares its name with {{wp|Seven Sages|many historical and fictional groups}}.
-* With the exception of [[Geechisu]], their names are references to the colors of the {{wp|rainbow}}.
+* Six of the Seven Sages have quoted proverbs from several Chinese philosophers.
-**''Vio'' comes from ''violet''; ''Ryokushi'' is from 緑色 ''ryokushoku'' (''green''); ''Giallo'' is the Italian word for ''yellow''; ''Rot'' is the German word for ''red''; ''Sumura'' comes from Arabic أسمر (''brown'', similar to orange); and ''Asura'' comes from the Latin word ''azul'' (''blue'').
+** Sage Zinzolin quotes a proverb from ''{{wp|Mencius (book)|Mencius}}'' and a line from ''{{wp|Tao Te Ching}}'' at N's Castle.
-* Every sage, with the exception of [[Geechisu]] (who does not give a [[TM]] upon capture), gives a TM that raises the user's [[stats]].
+** Sage Gorm quotes a proverb from {{wp|Sun Tzu}}'s ''{{wp|The Art of War}}'' in Pinwheel Forest, and a line from both The {{wp|Analects}} and ''{{wp|Huainanzi}}'' at N's Castle.
-** Of these, Rot is the only sage that gives a [[TM]] that raises the user's stats by a total of one stage. The other TMs given raise the user's stats by a total of two stages.
+** Sage Bronius quotes another line from ''Tao Te Ching'' at N's Castle.
+** Sage Giallo quotes another line from ''Mencius'' at N's Castle.
+** In the Japanese version, Sage Ryoku quotes a line from ''{{wp|Zhuangzi (book)|Zhuangzi}}'' at N's Castle. In both versions, he also quotes a proverb by {{wp|Song Dynasty}} philosopher Hu Yin at N's Castle.
+** Sage Rood quotes another proverb from the Analects and made a reference to a Chinese idiom at N's Castle.
+* With the exception of [[Ghetsis]], their names are references to colors.

+** Of these, Rood is the only sage that gives a [[TM]] that raises the user's stats by a total of one stage. The other TMs given either raise one stat two stages or two stats one stage.
