Cilan (anime): Difference between revisions

When the group arrived in Kanto in ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Cilan and Iris decided that they will stop traveling with Ash. Cilan decided to travel to [[Johto]] to compete in the [[Old Rod]] Fishing Rally that was being hosted by [[Mr. Briney]] from the [[Hoenn]] region. He also decided to start anew as a Connoisseur. As such, he chose to travel with Iris on the magnet train and then set forth to the competition once in Johto.

After parting ways with Iris in [[BWS01]], Cilan met up with {{an|Brock}}. Together, they successfully quelled a rampaging {{p|Gyarados}} and stopped a Pokémon poacher named [[Amer]]. By the end of the episode, however, neither were introduced to each other or knew that Ash was a mutual friend of theirs. He also reappeared in Ash's fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Cilan appeared again in [[XYS06]]. He was shown to have traveled to the [[Kalos]] [[region]] to participate in a [[fishing]] tournament in [[Lumiose City]], during which he met {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. When Cilan reveals that he would like to visit the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], Clemont and Bonnie agree to accompany him there. On Cilan's suggestion, the three decide to take the subway to the tower, but Bonnie ends up boarding a runaway train alone. Clemont and Cilan manage to stop the train and rescue Bonnie with the help of Clemont's [[Clemontic Gear|special lure]], his [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], and Cilan's fishing skills. They later send out Pansage and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} to battle an {{p|Eelektross}} who had been causing the subway problems, before realizing it was lost and sick from {{DL|Illness in the Pokémon world|Electrical overcharging|electrical overcharge}}. After helping the Eelektross, Cilan heads off to [[Shalour City]] to visit the [[Tower of Mastery]].

Cilan tends to use the phrase "It's <verb> time!" when addressing a special scenario, such as when he evaluates {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[human]] relations he says, "It's evaluating time!" in the dub and "It's tasting time!" in the original. During Gym battles in the dub, he will use the phrase, "It's time for the battle to be served!" When {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon, he uses the line 「{{tt|_____ゲットでグッドテイスト！|I got a ____ with good taste!}}」 in the original. He has used different phrases for catching Pokémon in the dub, however.

Like Brock, he has proved himself to be a good cook as he prepares meals for the group, and he also has a very broad knowledge about Pokémon. Cilan also navigates the group on their journey through use of his [[Town Map]], much like [[Max]] who had a [[PokéNav]], and {{an|Brock}} who had maps and a [[Pokégear]].

As a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]], he can read into people's personalities and often finds the best ways to approach them. He's patient and caring towards Ash and Iris, often offering them advice when they don't know what to do. While he has been shown to lose his temper, he quickly moves on and will go out of his way to make up for it. He tends to be an optimist looking at things positively rather than wallowing in defeat.

In ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', it was revealed that Cilan also has a fear of {{p|Purrloin}}. He stated that one of them did something terrible to him, which he refused to talk about as he didn't want to remember it. In ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]'', Cilan overcame his fear a little bit, but never truly got over it. The reason for his fear is unknown, although he has told {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} about it.
