Him sending the Loyal Three out to defend him from Ogerpon was little different than a trainer sending out their Pokemon against something, and he didn’t send them out with the intention of them just buying him time to run away because he didn’t run away, he just retreated into his shell when there was no other option. It’s a fine line between a character being cowardly and just pragmatic about their own abilities. Plus at the end of the DLC he fights the player himself even though they defeated everything he threw at them.
