===Main series===
Cress appears in [[BW005]] alongside fellow Gym Leaders {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]]. Along with Chili, he makes his first appearance when serving {{Ash}}. Ash declines saying he wants to battle the [[Gym Leader]] and the three brothers introduce themselves. They followed Ash to the battleground where they revealed their Pokémon.  
[[File:Cress anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Cress in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''====
Cress debuted in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|Cilan}} and [[Chili]]. Along with Chili, he first appeared when Cilan brings {{Ash}} to the Gym, where he proceeded to take his drink order. Ash declined, saying that he wanted to battle the Gym Leader, and as he got up to leave, Cress and his brothers introduced themselves as the leaders. They led Ash to the battleground, where they introduced their Pokémon.
 
He was the second to battle Ash and proceeded to defeat {{AP|Pikachu}}, despite his Panpour's type disadvantage. At the beginning of ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', he and his brothers presented the {{Badge|Trio}} to Ash. Later, he and Chili said goodbye to Cilan, who had decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.
 
He appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'', where he and Chili informed [[Burgundy]] that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.
 
In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', Cress informed Cilan over the phone of the reason why Chili was not at the Gym. Contrary to what Chili had said, he had not left to study but had run away. Chili had asked him the night he ran away why he kept losing. Cress told him that he focused too much on offense while giving little consideration to defense. As he feared, Chili took it as an insult and ran away. Cress was pleased when Cilan told him he would help Chili with his battle style and help get his confidence back and thanked him for it.
[[File:Cilan Chili Cress young.png|thumb|250px|Young Cress with his brothers]]
 
Cress appeared in a fantasy along with [[Chili]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and in a flashback in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He made a cameo appearance in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]].
 
In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', it was revealed that Cress, as well as Chili, had lost to [[Morana]], and had Cilan not defeated her, they would have lost the Striaton Gym. After Cilan's victory, he returned to Striaton City alongside Chili.
 
====[[Pokémon movie]]s====
Cress also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.
 
====Character====
Cress, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in this case, water. Unlike his brothers, Cress tends to speak about himself in third-person in the Japanese version. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—in Cress's case, he tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

Cress first appeared in [[BWGP03]]. Aside from being a Gym Leader, he was a teacher in a Trainers' School located in [[Striaton City]]. When [[Takurō]] and [[Mashiro]] went to the school, Cress told them about [[Bado]] and explained as to who he was. [[Professor Juniper]] had him teach the two about the basics of Pokémon while they were there. He gave them an assignment to do. While Mashiro was able to finish it, Takurō had to stay behind.
 
[[BWGP04|Later]], he appeared in Takurō's flashback where he advised him to go to [[Wellspring Cave]] to go to the next town as going to different places is an important part of being a Trainer.

Cress (Japanese: コーン Corn) is one of the three Gym Leaders of Striaton City's Gym, known officially as the Striaton Gym. He specializes in Water-type Pokémon. He gives the Trio Badge to Trainers who defeat him.

In the core series games

Cress appears in Pokémon Black and White as one of the Gym Leaders of Striaton City's Gym, alongside Cilan and Chili. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the player. Cress battles Trainers who choose Tepig as their first partner Pokémon. Trainers who defeat him will receive the Trio Badge, along with TM83 (Work Up).

During the two years between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Cress, along with his brothers, retired from being Gym Leaders to train.

'Recently, I saw Striaton Gym's three Gym Leaders, and they were all out of order! Like, Chili was Cilan, and Cilan was Cress!' Hmmm. Well, I'm not saying you're crazy, but...are you sure they weren't just standing in front of a mirror? 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"

Cress in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Black & White

Cress debuted in Triple Leaders, Team Threats! alongside his brothers, and fellow Gym Leaders Cilan and Chili. Along with Chili, he first appeared when Cilan brings Ash to the Gym, where he proceeded to take his drink order. Ash declined, saying that he wanted to battle the Gym Leader, and as he got up to leave, Cress and his brothers introduced themselves as the leaders. They led Ash to the battleground, where they introduced their Pokémon.

He was the second to battle Ash and proceeded to defeat Pikachu, despite his Panpour's type disadvantage. At the beginning of Dreams by the Yard Full!, he and his brothers presented the Trio Badge to Ash. Later, he and Chili said goodbye to Cilan, who had decided to travel with Ash and Iris.

He appeared in a flashback in A Connoisseur's Revenge!, where he and Chili informed Burgundy that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.

In A Call for Brotherly Love!, Cress informed Cilan over the phone of the reason why Chili was not at the Gym. Contrary to what Chili had said, he had not left to study but had run away. Chili had asked him the night he ran away why he kept losing. Cress told him that he focused too much on offense while giving little consideration to defense. As he feared, Chili took it as an insult and ran away. Cress was pleased when Cilan told him he would help Chili with his battle style and help get his confidence back and thanked him for it.

Young Cress with his brothers

Cress appeared in a fantasy along with Chili in A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team! and in a flashback in Curtain Up, Unova League!. He made a cameo appearance in the ending Let's Join Hands.

In Survival of the Striaton Gym!, it was revealed that Cress, as well as Chili, had lost to Morana, and had Cilan not defeated her, they would have lost the Striaton Gym. After Cilan's victory, he returned to Striaton City alongside Chili.

Pokémon movies

Cress also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

Character

Cress, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in this case, water. Unlike his brothers, Cress tends to speak about himself in third-person in the Japanese version. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors—in Cress's case, he tends to accentuate words with his fingers.

Cress in Pocket Monsters BW Good Partners

Cress first appeared in BWGP03. Aside from being a Gym Leader, he was a teacher in a Trainers' School located in Striaton City. When Takurō and Mashiro went to the school, Cress told them about Bado and explained as to who he was. Professor Juniper had him teach the two about the basics of Pokémon while they were there. He gave them an assignment to do. While Mashiro was able to finish it, Takurō had to stay behind.

Later, he appeared in Takurō's flashback where he advised him to go to Wellspring Cave to go to the next town as going to different places is an important part of being a Trainer.

Pokémon Adventures

Cress in Pokémon Adventures

Cress, along with his brothers Cilan and Chili, is one of the Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Despite each brother obtaining their job as Gym Leaders individually, they were all assigned to the same Gym. This decision was due to the types they specialized in being useful in teaching new Trainers about type matchups.

Like his brothers, Cress tends to keep his arms in a certain position. In his case, he keeps them crossed in front of his chest.

Black & White arc

Cress debuted in Welcome to Striaton City!!, where the Striaton Gym was visited by a young Trainer named Black. Although only Black challenged the Gym, his friends Cheren and Bianca were allowed to participate as well. After completing the Gym puzzle, Black, Cheren, and Bianca faced the triplets in a three-on-three "Trio Battle". With their knowledge of type matchups, Cress and his brothers initially held the advantage, even after Chili's Pansear was knocked out. Despite this, the battle ended in the Striaton Gym Leaders' loss when Black's Tep used Pansage's fallen leaves to revive its fallen teammates. With only two active Pokémon on the Striaton Gym Leaders' side when the time limit ended, Black and his friends were declared the winners by default and were each awarded a Trio Badge as proof of their victory.

In The Shadow Triad, Cress, Cilan, and Chili confronted the Shadow Triad at the P2 Laboratory. The brothers were given the task of pursuing Team Plasma if the other Gym Leaders failed to protect the Dark Stone from them. The Shadow Triad proved to be very strong, and even after they evolved their Pokémon, Cress and his brothers were unable to defeat their opponents. The brothers were rescued by Keldeo, who had been watching the battle and determined the Gym Leaders to be the better humans. The Shadow Triad took that opportunity to try and capture Keldeo, forcing its mentors, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion, to step in and rescue it, using their swords to send both the Gym Leaders and Shadow Triad flying.
