[[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 depart.

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.

===In the main series===
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, 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 {{p|Reshiram}} suddenly appeared and set the Castle on fire, causing all of them excluding Ghetsis to flee in terror. Unlike their game and manga counterparts, the Seven Sages (except Ghetsis) appear to be young and have no distinct identities.

=====Gorm=====
[[File:Gorm Adventures.png|thumb|Gorm in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
'''Pinwheel Forest'''
:''"How are you holding up, fellow subject of our king?"''
:''"It's not important. We can afford to abandon the Dragon Skull. According to the results of our research, this is not the legendary Pokémon for which Team Plasma is looking. It is completely unrelated. But we will not allow anyone to disrupt our plans and get away with it. We will fix it so you never interfere with us again."''
:''"I am one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma. Ghetsis, another of the Seven Sages, will liberate Pokémon with words alone! The remainder of the Seven Sages have ordered their compatriots to take Pokémon with full force! But the odds are a little against us now. To you, the Bug Pokémon user [[Burgh]] and the Normal Pokémon user [[Lenora]], I say... Know your enemies, know yourself, and know you need not fear the result of a hundred battles... This time, we shall retreat quietly. To secure the liberation of Pokémon we will steal from Trainers! Even though you are Gym Leaders, we will not tolerate any further obstruction from you. In any case, we will settle this someday. I hope you are looking forward to that time as much as I..."''
 
'''N's Castle'''
:''"If you make a mistake and do not correct it, that is a second mistake."''
:''"A single fallen leaf signals the start of autumn. We know our history. The emergence of this castle is the harbinger of change in Unova..."''
 
'''Dreamyard'''
:''"Boo!"''
:''"Were you surprised? Oh, Trainer-who-destroyed-our-castle, I was quite surprised by you!"''
:''"If you surprise them, both Pokémon and people leave themselves open. While they're in a state of surprise, they can't use their powers like they normally would. Our intention was to surprise people by making our castle appear and showing off the legendary Pokémon... At that moment, we planned to deeply impress people's hearts with the awesome power of Team Plasma and the brilliance of our new world."''
:''"Now that I've seen the strength of spirit in you and the [[Gym Leader]]s, I wonder how effective that strategy would have been, after all. Maybe that strength of spirit is what's needed to take Pokémon to the next level? Hm... I'm sorry to have wasted your time with this silly conversation. Take [[TM75|this]] with you."''
:''"My lord N's dream... You were the one who put a stop to that. Please don't ever forget that."''
:''"{{p|Musharna}} is said to appear here. Its [[Dream Mist]] makes you see dreams, but they are nothing but illusions. The dreams you realize with your own abilities are the real dreams."''
 
=====Bronius=====
[[File:Bronius Adventures.png|thumb|Bronius in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
'''Castelia City'''
:''"I thought it would be humorous to prepare a hideout right in front of a Pokémon Gym, but we were detected more quickly than I imagined."''
:''"Yes?"''
 
'''N's Castle'''
:''"When the Way is forgotten, duty and justice appear."''
:''"Accursed Gym Leaders!"''
:''"You shall not interfere with Team Plasma... Or our king!"''
 
'''Chargestone Cave'''
:''"When I saw you in Castelia, I did not care about your existence. Here in the Chargestone Cave, Ghetsis tested your ability... Once more, we will test you to learn what it is you are. Team Plasma, come out!"''
:''"The Pokémon of our Team Plasma are also fighting for their Trainers. It was so obvious that I overlooked it... Thank you for reminding me of that. Here, I'd like you to take [[TM69|this]]."''
:''"Pokémon do their best for their Trainers even when they are injured. I wonder whether my lord N understands what that means?"''
:''"Those who left Team Plasma and are behaving with respect and understanding toward Pokémon... Them, please forgive! However, those who won't interact with Pokémon in a kind and honest way... Even I will never forgive them!"''

=====Giallo=====
[[File:Giallo Adventures.png|thumb|Giallo in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
'''Dragonspiral Tower'''
:''"It's finally time. Our lord N will become the hero! What?! Someone made it clear up here?! Now! Stop that Trainer! For our lord N! Everyone who isn't Team Plasma is an enemy! Use all your powers to take them out!"''
:''"The hero will open up the way to a new world! Which means you Trainers can all prepare to lose your Pokémon!"''
 
'''N's Castle'''
:''"Those in accord with Fate are preserved, and those who rebel against Fate perish."''
:''"Well... If anything should happen to our king, it would be disastrous. It would ruin Ghetsis's perfect plan! Our lord N will be disappointed, but the six of us shall defeat you here!"''
:''"You... You're Driftveil's...?!"''
:''"Ghetsis called us the chosen ones. He chose us and gathered us here so we can change the world! For us, defeat is impossible!"''
 
'''Route 14'''
:''"Greetings to you, strong Pokémon Trainer who came to Dragonspiral Tower."''
:''"Are you and {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|W}} building a mutual understanding?"'' {{tt|*|Unknown friendship requirement.}}
:''"Are you not making friends with Reshiram{{sup/5|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}?"'' {{tt|*|Default requirement.}}
:''"There is a saying... If somewhere in this world there is someone who understands you, it feels like that person is right beside you, even if you're as far apart as the end of the land and the top of the sky. As my lord N and his Pokémon understand one another, so, too, do you and your Pokémon understand one another. Which is my reason for giving you [[TM08|this]]..."''
:''"The legend of Unova is about Pokémon and people working together to build a new world! The message is that simple and that strong. If changing the world makes you a hero, anyone can become a hero. As each of us changes what is in our power to change, so the world itself changes."''
:''"Indeed, I shall. Team Plasma changed me, but it could not change the world. I'm looking forward to seeing how you lot will do."''
 
=====Ryoku=====
[[File:Ryoku Adventures.png|thumb|Ryoku in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
'''Relic Castle'''
:''"Ghetsis told us that once again we should test how much power you have. We will see if you can defeat Team Plasma!"''
:''"Go! Hurry and fall through the flowing sands!"''
 
'''N's Castle'''
:''"One can lose the forest for the trees."''
:''"We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate. We've done everything in our power. All we can do now is believe in our lord N...and wait."''
 
'''Relic Castle'''
:''"I was planning to catch the Pokémon called {{p|Volcarona}} that lives in this Relic Castle and present it to Ghetsis. But the [[Shadow Triad]] said that Ghetsis has gone somewhere, right?"''
:''"The Seven Sages... We always said we were complete when the seven of us were together. Now I don't know the meaning of those words anymore. I guess I don't mind, even if we were being used, but the dream is over."''
:''"I no longer need [[TM04|this]]. Ghetsis gave it to me, but I have no use for it."''
:''"This Relic Castle and our own castle are both crumbling... But what's different is that this Relic Castle is the remains of a civilization. And our castle left nothing behind..."''
:''"Understood. But we don't know much about Ghetsis or our lord N! We haven't even figured out if they are father and son..."''

=====Gorm=====
'''[[Pinwheel Forest]]'''
:''"Boo!"''
:''"I am Gorm. I was once one of Team Plasma's Seven Sages."''
:''"Wait one moment! I have no plans to confront you. I don't mean to disappoint you, but I doubt I'm a match for either of you in the first place... Hm? What happened to [[Cheren|your]] glasses? Excuse me, but that's not important. I learned of my [[Zinzolin|old ally]]'s recklessness, and I had come here to admonish him... But the matter has already been resolved, and this place made me think... What did we believe in that made us try to steal the [[Dragon Skull]]? A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is commiting another mistake. Do you understand what this means? Avoiding all mistakes is impossible, but not fixing mistakes you've made -- that is truly foolish. That being said, this doesn't really concern you, does it? Well then, Trainers, may you and your Pokémon be well."''

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.
The Seven Sages debuted as a group in ''[[ABW07|Letting Go]]''. They have appeared separately in many locations, mainly supervising Team Plasma Grunts in their various missions.


====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 {{key|V|Dragon Skull|Dragon Fossil}} from [[Nacrene Museum]], but was stopped by {{adv|Black}} and [[Burgh]].
{{main|Ghetsis#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Ghetsis}}
* 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.
The first sage to be seen was Ghetsis in ''[[ABW06|An Odd Speech]]'', discoursing over Pokémon liberation to the citizens of [[Accumula Town]].
* Ryoku was tasked with capturing {{p|Volcarona}} at the [[Desert Resort]]. He eventually succeeded and presented Volcarona to Ghetsis.
 
* Giallo was tasked with capturing {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, and {{p|Landorus}} to strengthen Team Plasma's forces. He succeeded this goal in ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]''.
====Gorm====
* 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 to him having already done research on the two.
In ''[[ABW15|The Mystery of the Missing Fossil]]'', {{adv|Black}} was investigating the disappearance of a [[Dragon Skull|Dragon Fossil]] from [[Nacrene Museum]]. He found the skeleton in Pinwheel Forest, where the thieves were lurking, three grunts who met him at Dreamyard and Gorm. The sage was impressed by Black's skill on finding their location and, seeing his potential, commanded the skeleton to attack the boy. Given its fast and accurate move, Black was able to identify the controlling Pokémon and defeated it with the help of [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}}. Before escaping with the grunts, Gorm revealed that Team Plasma is seeking for a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to fight by their side.
* 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.

Gorm had Cofagrigus hide itself among the other artifacts so anyone who would try to stop them would be confused as to what was controlling the Fossil. However, their plan was foiled by Black and Burgh, and Cofagrigus was found out. When Gorm told Cofagrigus to retreat, Burgh stopped it with his Whirlipede.}}
 
====Bronius====
The next sage to appear in mission was Bronius. In ''[[ABW19|The Case of the Missing Pokémon]]'', he was responsible for the kidnapping of various Pokémon in [[Castelia City]], including {{adv|Bianca}}'s {{p|Litwick}}. When he is found at a building right next to [[Castelia Gym]], which is "the root of the human evil" in his words, he reveals that Team Plasma intends to bring "the [[N|hero]] and the {{p|Zekrom|black lightning bolt}}" to [[Unova]].
 
====Ryoku====
In ''[[ABW22|To Make a Musical]]'', Ryoku was shown at Desert Resort, where he was waiting for his grunts to reunite so that they could enter Relic Castle. As one of them was unconscious after being defeated by [[Grimsley]]'s {{p|Bisharp}}, Ryoku decided to leave him behind and go inside, looking for {{p|Volcarona}}. He was last seen with a [[RageCandyBar]] in his hands, in front of some {{p|Darmanitan}} in {{a|Zen Mode}}.
 
====Zinzolin====
{{main|Zinzolin#In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Zinzolin}}
When {{adv|Cheren}}'s {{p|Tranquill}} was stolen, he went with Black to Cold Storage, where many stolen [[Poké Ball]]s were being kept by Team Plasma. Zinzolin was seen there, guiding the grunts in their deed.
 
====Giallo====
Giallo appeared after a fight broke out between {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} that was quelled by {{p|Landorus}}. After Landorus took away the other two Pokémon and fled into the sky, Giallo caught them in Poké Balls.

The Seven Sages in the opening of Black and White

The Seven Sages (Japanese: 七賢人 Seven Sages) are notable ranking members of Team Plasma. They are a group of intelligent people from all over the 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 Leaders (with the exception of Cilan, Chili, and Cress) appear and clear the way to N. They typically refrain from battling, having 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 Zorua. Shortly afterward, he appears on Route 6 after the player has encountered 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 Hilbert/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.

In the anime

Two of the Seven Sages in the anime

In the main series

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

In Pokémon Generations

In Pokémon Generations, the Seven Sages (except Ghetsis) appear at N's Castle in The Uprising.

In the manga

The Seven Sages in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The Seven Sages debuted as a group in Letting Go. Each sage has several Team Plasma Grunts 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.

    • Sage Giallo quotes another line from Mencius at N's Castle.
    • In the Japanese version, Sage Ryoku quotes a line from Zhuangzi at N's Castle. In both versions, he also quotes a proverb by 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 the colors of the rainbow.
  • The TMs given by the sages are all for stat-raising moves.
    • 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.
