Cheren in Pokémon Adventures

Cheren makes an appearance as one of the Pokédex holders of the Unova region, he is a good friend of Black and along with Bianca, recommended him to be the third Pokédex holder for Professor Juniper. Due to an accident, his and Bianca's Pokédexes are currently broken, leaving Black with the only working one. Strangely, in Pokémon Adventures, his starter is actually weak to that of the protagonist which is unlike the games, where it is stronger than the player character's.

He first appears with Bianca when Monta is attempting to capture a wild Patrat and Watchog. Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two pokemon come out at the same time, you have to knock out the one you don't want first before you can get the one that you do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insult them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a double battle with Monta's Snivy against a Bike Gang King's Braviary, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary. Cheren battles Monta in PBW02 using his Tepig, Pansage and Basculin against Monta's Snivy, Panpour and Dangoro. He starts off with a lecture about triple battles.
