Is that why they weren't present at the assulting of N's Castle?
They weren't present during N's castle, because they were apparently off fighting the Shadow Triad. Whilst I don't believe that they are the Triad, it was suspicious of the Shadow Triad and Cilan, Cress and Chili not to show up; hence the rumor of them being the Triad. ;o;
The Striaton Trio are too underdeveloped as characters to give this theory any sort of precedence, especially because the game doesn't do anything to reinforce this either.
Basically, they're the least developed characters in the game because they're only the first Gym Leaders, and the game doesn't make you spend that long hanging around Striaton City. When you're there at the start of the game you're wrapped up in what happens at the Dreamyard and that's concerning Team Plasma and foreshadowing the very obvious plot twist. Otherwise, the three serve their purpose as introducing the player to Gym Battles.
Fast forward to the end of the game, and every other Gym Leader has done something other than hang around in their Gym all day, so it's not a surprise to see them at the end of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if by that point some players would have forgotten about the Striaton trio if it weren't for their gym badge. It would have looked a bit funny if these three suddenly re-appeared out of nowhere, and if you remember that scene where the other Gym Leaders confront the six sages they would be out of place there too.
Basically, Cilan, Cress and Chilli don't do anything at all after you leave Striaton City. If they'd suddenly disappeared or even moved around at some point during the game, then yes that would be a very suspicious thing to do, but as it stands they never get developed.
The same can kinda be said for the Shadow Triad - there's nothing ever mentioned about their backgrounds which makes it hard to justify any connections between the two groups.
Personally I believe we're barking up the wrong tree here. The two groups are similar because they're triplets or whatever, but there's a far more important occurrenceof the number three in Black and White - Triple Battling. Triple Battles as they stand are very under-utilised in the game, maybe in the next game we will see the player battling Cilan, Chilli and Cress all at once, and engaging the Shadow Triad in triple battles in separate occasions?
