The (Japanese: '''{{tt|七賢人| | 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]]. | |||
===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2=== | |||
The Seven Sages have a different role in the sequels. | |||
[[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. | |||
|[[ | |||
|{{ | [[Gorm]] appears in [[Pinwheel Forest]], while the player and [[Cheren]] are investigating there. He tries to sneak up on them much like he did to {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} in Black and White in the [[Dreamyard]]. He speaks to the two briefly and leaves. Cheren follows him. | ||
It is unknown where the other three sages are during the events of Black 2 and White 2. | |||

|{{ | ===Main series=== | ||
|{{ | 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. | ||
===Pokémon Generations=== | |||
|[[ | In [[Pokémon Generations]], the Seven Sages (except Ghetsis) appeared at [[N's Castle]] in ''[[PG13|The Uprising]]''. [[Zinzolin]] appeared at [[Opelucid City]] in ''[[PG14|The Frozen World]]''. Ghetsis appeared in ''[[PG15|The King Returns]]''. | ||
===Pokémon Evolutions=== | |||
| | [[File:Seven Sages Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|The Seven Sages in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]] | ||
| | The Seven Sages appeared in ''[[PE04|The Plan]]'', where they witnessed [[N]]'s coronation as the king of [[Team Plasma]] in a flashback. [[Ghetsis]] also appeared extensively, detailing his plan to take over the [[Unova]] region through his manipulation of people and Pokémon to {{ga|Hilda}}. | ||

==In the manga== | |||
|{{ | [[File:Seven Sages Adventures.png|thumb|230px|right|The Seven Sages in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]] | ||
===Pokémon Adventures=== | |||
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. | |||
| | |||
| | * 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]]. | ||
* 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. | |||
* Ryoku was tasked with capturing {{p|Volcarona}} at the [[Desert Resort]]. He eventually succeeded and presented Volcarona to Ghetsis. | |||
* 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]]''. | |||
* 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== | ==Trivia== | ||
* | * The group shares its name with {{wp|Seven Sages|many historical and fictional groups}}. | ||
