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 Bel, recommended him to be the third Pokédex holder for Professor Araragi. Due to an accident, his and Bel'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 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.
