==In the games==

After defeating [[Lenora]] at the [[Nacrene Gym]], Team Plasma will attack the museum in [[Nacrene City]] and steal a bone from the Dragon Fossil. As the player gives chase, N will appear again and battle the player. After this, the player heads into [[Pinwheel Forest]] where they will defeat the Team Plasma Grunts, causing [[Gorm]] to return the Dragon Skull to player, which he or she then immediately gives to [[Lenora]]. The next encounter is in [[Castelia City]] where they have stolen [[Bianca]]'s Munna. After confronting them, they will give Munna back.

Later, as the player journeys through the [[Chargestone Cave]], the [[Shadow Triad]] appears and takes the player to N and the two will battle again. After being defeated, they will leave. N is then briefly encountered outside the [[Mistralton Gym]] where he tests the friendship between the player and their current lead Pokémon. After defeating [[Brycen]] at the [[Icirrus Gym]], Team Plasma appears at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] where N awakens {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}}. After a brief talk with the player, N flies off. [[Alder]], who has also witnessed these events, advises everyone to go to [[Relic Castle]] where they run into Ghetsis who tells them it is pointless to continue resisting them and leaves. Ghetsis will then confront the player on the [[Tubeline Bridge]] and tell them that even though they have the Light/Dark Stone Team Plasma will achieve its goal. Soon after the player will witness Ghetsis giving another speech in [[Opelucid City]].

==Trivia==

* Team Plasma's Japanese name is a pun: "plasma-dan" can also mean "plasma bullet."

* ''Plasma'' can be interpreted as the culmination of both {{p|Reshiram|fire}} and {{p|Zekrom|lightning}}.

** Their logo resembles a shield.

** The lettering in their logo resembles the {{wp|Chi Rho}} symbol.

** [[Ghetsis]]'s clothing resembles the {{wp|Battlement|crenelation}} of a fortified position such as a castle.

** Their base is [[N's Castle|a castle]].

** There is a mark on the grunts' hats which appears to be a toned-down {{wp|Jolly Roger}}.

** Their base, the Plasma Frigate, is styled after a sailing ship complete with gangplank, posing as such in Castelia City and the Pokémon World Tournament.

** Ghetsis is seen wearing a type of eyepatch, which in Black 2 and White 2 is darkened to resemble that seen by typical pirates.

** They are now far more open about how malevolent their intentions are; knights are seen as honorable, while pirates are seen as thieving criminals.
