In the midst of his travels he was hired by [[Mr. Hatterly]] along with [[Ricard Nouveau]], another A-class Connoisseur, in order to choose Mr. Hatterly's [[Marigold|daughter]]'s first Pokémon. Cilan and Ricard didn't come to an agreement due to both having different points of view, and a duel between both Connoisseurs ensued. Even though Ricard's Premium Brand was the Pokémon of Cilan's phobia, a Purrloin, Cilan remained victorious. He then revealed to Mr. Hatterly that he had found out that his daughter had already befriended a Pokémon, a {{p|Foongus}} and convinced him that this would be the best partner for his daughter.

==Character==

Cilan is an A-class [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] who can see the compatibility between a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He also tends to use the phrase "It's <verb> time!" when addressing a special scenario, such as when he evaluates Pokémon 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 capturing 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 capturing 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]].  

He is also shown to be afraid of the paranormal which has made him a skeptic, preferring to find logical scientific explanations for everything, but when he can't find a logical explanation he is typically the first to flee. His love for science is later emphasized upon encountering a possible UFO sighting which leads to him meeting one of his mentors, [[Professor Icarus]]. Cilan also has a passion for sleuthing and will sometimes play detective. He even has a special hat that he wears and a magnifying glass. But he does more than just play as he was able to draw conclusions and come up with ideas in order to find the missing {{p|Audino}} in ''[[BW035|Where Did You Go, Audino?]]''.

He, like his brothers, often speaks about Pokémon in relation to their element; in Cilan's case, leaves and herbs. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Cilan emphasizes words using his fingers.

==Trivia==

* Cilan is the first of Ash's {{ashfr|male friends}} not to have a traditional Japanese name in the original version of the anime.

* In the games, Cilan can only be battled at the Striaton Gym if the {{player}} chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. Notably, Ash has obtained {{AP|Oshawott}} from {{prof|Juniper}} as his first out of the Unova starter Pokémon, and used him in his Gym battle against Cilan. The same thing also happened to [[Burgundy]], as she battled him once with an {{p|Oshawott}}.
