Gorm (Japanese:アスラAzula) is one of theSeven Sages ofTeam Plasma.

In the core series games

InPokémon Black and White, Gorm is first met inPinwheel Forest. He appears right after theplayer has defeated theTeam Plasma Grunts and says that theDragon Skull is not important to Team Plasma's goals. Later, he is seen along with the other sages confronting theGym Leaders of theUnovaregion atN's Castle. After Ghetsis has been defeated, Gorm can be found in theDreamyard, where he gives the playerTM75 (Swords Dance) and is arrested byLooker.

InPokémon Black 2 and White 2, Gorm appears in Pinwheel Forest while the player andCheren are investigating there. He tries to sneak up on them much like he did toHilbert/Hilda in Black and White in the Dreamyard. He speaks to the two briefly and leaves. He is then pursued by Cheren.

Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

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 thelegendary 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, theBug Pokémon userBurgh and theNormal Pokémon userLenora, 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 areGym 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 theGym Leaders, 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. Takethis with you."

"My lordN's dream... You were the one who put a stop to that. Please don't ever forget that."

"Musharna is said to appear here. ItsDream Mist makes you see dreams, but they are nothing but illusions. The dreams you realize with your own abilities are the real dreams."

Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

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 toyour glasses? Excuse me, but that's not important. I learned of myold 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 theDragon Skull? A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing 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."

Black & White arc

Gorm is one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma. Three years prior to the start of theBlack & White arc, he was tasked with finding information onReshiram and Zekrom so they could potentially be recruited to Team Plasma's side. Gorm debuted in person inLetting Go, where he and the other sages were seen inAccumula Town afterGhetsis gave a speech convincing people to release their Pokémon.

InThe Mystery of the Missing Fossil, Gorm worked with threeTeam Plasma Grunts and stole aDragon-type fossil from theNacrene Museum.Black tracked down the thieves toPinwheel Forest, where he was attacked by the fossil. Using his deductive skills, Black figured out that Gorm'sCofagrigus was manipulating the skeleton and defeated it with the help ofBurgh'sWhirlipede. Before escaping, Gorm revealed Team Plasma aimed to have aDragon-type Pokémon fight by their side.

InCold Hard Truth, Team Plasma launched their attack on thePokémon League, surrounding the building with N's Castle. As a form of mockery and display of Team Plasma's power, theGym Leaders were hoisted on cross-like fixtures and displayed in front of the masses. While Black went ahead to faceN, a group of regular Trainers led byHiker Andy fought the sages in his place. Together, Andy and the others managed to free the Gym Leaders, forcing Gorm and the other sages to flee.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

Two years later, Gorm and the other sages were sought after by theInternational Police membersBlake andLooker, who aimed to arrest them along with the other remaining Team Plasma members. Unlike the other sages, Gorm, along with Rood, decided to side with the members of Team Plasma who believed in N's ideals.

InDeduction Time, Gorm,Iris, andAlder worked together to break out of theWhite Treehollow, which had been frozen solid by thePlasma Frigate. As they traveled, Gorm and Iris encountered Black,White,Blake, andWhitley. After clarifying that he was on the side of good, Black and the others agreed to trust him. The group was then attacked byColress andKyurem.

Pokémon

Cofagrigus♂

Debut	The Mystery of the Missing Fossil

Cofagrigus is Gorm's first known Pokémon. It was used by Gorm to take control of and animate the Dragonite Fossil. Gorm had Cofagrigus hide himself 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 him with his Whirlipede.

Cofagrigus's only known move isGuard Split* and his Ability isMummy.

Sigilyph

Debut	Giant Chasm

Sigilyph is Gorm's second known Pokémon. It was first seen being used to train at White Treehollow, where it battledBenga'sLarvesta andTepig.

Sigilyph's only known move isStored Power*.

InTriple Threat, Gorm was seen sending out either aMandibuzz or aZweilous to combat the Trainers trying to free the captured Gym Leaders. It is unclear which Pokémon belonged to him.

Trivia

• In Black and White, Gorm quotes a proverb fromSun Tzu'sThe Art of War in Pinwheel Forest, and a line from both TheAnalects andHuainanzi at N's Castle.
