In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Professor Cedric Juniper first meets the {{player}} in [[Mistralton City]] with [[Skyla]], who has just flown in from another region. Upon meeting the player he upgrades their [[Pokédex]]. He is next seen in [[Icirrus City]], where he gives the player the [[Old Gateau]]. He is then seen in [[Nacrene City]] with [[Lenora]], [[Bianca]], and some other [[Non-player character|NPC]]s. He is not seen again until after the player defeats [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. Once the player has met [[Looker]] and gone outside, he approaches the player and upgrades their Pokédex to the [[National Pokédex|National mode]].

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, he will upgrade the player's Pokédex to the National mode as he did in the previous games. He can be found at his daughter's laboratory in Nuvema Town, where he will provide a count of Pokémon caught in the National Pokédex. On the player's first visit, he will give the player a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}.

;Dragonspiral Tower

:''"That building serenely towering over everything is Dragonspiral Tower. From far in the past, before Unova was founded, it still stands tall today. On the top floor, so it's been told, the legendary Pokémon is waiting for a person seeking the truth to appear."''

:''"Ha! I guess you would be curious. Well, I'll explain briefly. Dragonspiral Tower has stood tall since long before Unova was founded. On the top floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon waits for a person pursuing ideals{{sup/5|Bl}}/seeking truth{{sup/5|W}} to appear... That's what it said. Are you going to go after Team Plasma like your friend did? It's admirable of you to join the fight against Team Plasma, but it's risky, too."''

:''"Why, thank you! That makes me feel much safer! Well, <player>! It's up to you! Climb the tower! This is all I can give you, but it might help you rest! Still... What could Team Plasma be after?"''

:''"Surely... When I investigated Dragonspiral Tower, I found elements that were dated to the same era as this Light Stone{{sup/5|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup/5|W}}!"''

;Nuvema Town

:''"Hey, <player>! Are you meeting lots of Pokémon? There really are lots of Pokémon in the Unova region and the rest of the world! I made the Habitat List so people would known that! I'll bet you're here because... You're here to show me how your Pokédex is coming along, right?"''

:''"Oh, that's right! I completely forgot to give this to you in [[Aspertia City|Aspertia]]! Here, this is the [[Super Rod]]!"''

:''"With this Super Rod, you can even catch Pokémon who live underwater! Here, I'll read you the directions. First... Face the water and cast! Second... Con-cen-trate! When a Pokémon bites, you'll see an "!" That means start reeling in! So cool!"''

'''Note''': Cedric evaluates only National Pokédex. Event Pokémon count towards evaluation, unless noted otherwise. The same quotes exist in both Black and White and Black 2 and white 2.

:''"Have you heard of [[mass outbreak]]s? Big groups of Pokémon appear during a mass outbreak. It's a great chance to catch them!"''

:''"Apparently, some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up in [[:Category:Evolution-inducing locations|a certain area]]."''

Cedric Juniper made his anime debut at the end of ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', where he stumbled out of [[Chargestone Cave]] and fainted out of hunger. [[BW064|In the next episode]], [[Professor Juniper|his daughter]] gave him some food to eat and he regained his strength, She also returned his pen which she found lodged in a {{p|Klinklang}}'s gears in the previous episode. Professor Juniper told {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that her father studied the origins of legendary Pokémon like {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}. He then said that he believed he had discovered [[Hero's Ruin|the cave where]] the Black Hero had met Zekrom. He was planning to go back and Ash begged if he and his friends could come along. He agreed and lead the way to the ruins.

Cedric has a tendency to pause in the middle of his sentences, which led to some miscommunication between him and the kids. For instance, when Ash asked to go with him to the ruins, he responded with: "I never...", which led everyone into saying that he declined the offer. After which he continued his sentence with: "...refuse bright young folks". This later caused problems avoiding the traps inside the ruins. He also enjoyed withholding information from the kids so that the experience could be more adventurous for them.

When the group came upon the "Golden [[Dragon Stone|Dark Stone]]", in the center of the ruins, Cedric told Ash that it must be kept in place. However the excitement of the situation overcame the professor and he took the stone while the others weren't looking. Because of this, they were driven to the deepest part of the ruins by {{p|Cofagrigus}} which was just what he had hoped for. He discovered that it was the bottom of the ruins where the Black hero had communicated with Zekrom. Cedric later found the exit to the cave and put the Golden Dark Stone back in its place. Cofagrigus and {{p|Sigilyph}} were still angry about the Golden Dark Stone being taken and Cofagrigus sent him, Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} high in the air with {{m|Telekinesis}} before letting them go to plummet to the ground. The professor said that if they were able to link their hearts to the Pokémon they would be saved and he was correct. He later discovered that all the paths they took in the ruins came out in the shape of a Zekrom which confirmed that they were indeed the ruins of the Black Hero.

After the group left the ruins, Cedric said that he would stay behind and continue to do his research in the area and the group said their goodbyes to him.

He reappeared in ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', making a call to his daughter, who was visited by Ash, Iris and Cilan. He told them that he had made some interesting discoveries about the White Ruins near [[Icirrus City]], to which Ash and his friends decided they would go and visit him and hear about his research.

He was seen again in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', excavating at the White Ruins, unaware that he was being watched by a couple of {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s.

He appeared in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he witnessed the climax of Team Plasma's plot to summon and take control of Reshiram. He and [[Cedric Juniper's assistants|his assistants]] spent most of the event captured by Team Plasma after [[Colress]] used a machine to take control of his assistants' Pokémon, but he was freed by [[Cilan's Crustle]].

===Pokémon Adventures===

Cedric Juniper appears in a flashback of {{adv|Black}}, {{adv|Cheren}}, and {{adv|Bianca}}'s childhood. He is seen discussing the creation of a new Pokédex with a reporter. It is his statement that the young people should go out on an adventure to fill the Pokédex with information about Pokémon that inspires Black to try to get his attention so he can set out on a Pokémon journey. When his daughter began her work on fixing {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}}'s Pokédexes, he arrived to help her. He noted that Team Plasma had done something a year ago.

He later encounters [[Iris]] and tells her about three legendary Pokémon, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}. He finds Black in person facing the three Pokémon in an attempt to capture them. After they escape with some Pokémon stolen from two Trainers, he explains to Black about how they don't trust humans. With these words, Black manages to track the three down and convince them to return the stolen Pokémon and leave. After Bianca's Pokédex is fixed, Cedric is tasked with delivering it to her. However, Bianca chooses to be Professor Juniper's assistant, so she hands her Pokédex over to White instead.

When [[N]] attempts to leave after defeating [[Alder]], Cedric steps in and stops his escape with his {{p|Samurott}}. He tells Black and White that they have to team up and defeat N with their Pokémon so he will revealed where the kidnapped Gym Leaders are kept. During the battle, Cedric reveals that on N's first day as Team Plasma's king, he went into Cedric's lab and stole the three starter Pokémon he had set up for new Trainers. While the {{p|Snivy}} went to N before becoming White's {{p|Serperior}}, Amanda, and the {{p|Tepig}} would be found by White and named Gigi, the {{p|Oshawott}} he had stayed with him and eventually evolved into a Samurott. Despite their efforts, N manages to escape.

During Black's final battle with N, Cedric decides to assist alongside [[Looker]] and [[Leo]]. He upgrades Black's Pokédex with information on {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}}, which allowed Black to win the battle.

|desc={{p|Samurott}} was originally an Oshawott that was intended to be give to starting Trainers by Cedric along with the ones given by his daughter. N liberated the other two Pokémon—one of which ended up with White—while it stayed with Cedric and eventually evolved. It appeared with Cedric when he came to help Black and White fight against N. Together with Black's Bo and White's Amanda, they managed to defeat N, only for him to escape. During the final battle against N, Samurott was used against N's Zekrom alongside [[Looker]]'s {{p|Croagunk}} and Leo's {{p|Deino}}.

None of Samurott's moves are known.}}
