Quotes

Pokémon Black and White

Striaton Gym

• Before battle

Cilan: "Welcome to the Striaton City Pokémon Gym."

Chili: "I'm Chili! I light things up with Fire-type Pokémon!"

Cress: "I'm a Water-type specialist, and my name is Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance."

Cilan: "And my name is Cilan. I like Grass-type Pokémon."

Cilan: "Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."

Chili: "Oh,enough! Listen up! The three of us will decide whom you'll battle! It'll be based on the type of the first Pokémon you chose!"

Cress: "That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was <type> type, it seems."

• If the player's starter Pokémon is Tepig or Oshawott

"Aww, man! I was all fired up, too!"

• If the player's starter Pokémon is Snivy

"Ta-da! The Fire-type scorcher Chili--that's me--will be your opponent!"

• Before battle

"Yeeeeooow! Time to play with FIRE!! I'm the strongest of us brothers!"

• During battle (the first non-KO hit)

"As if that would work on my Pokémon!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"It's not over yet! One more left! This is where I give it my all!"

• When defeated

"You got me. I am... burned... out..."

• After being defeated

"Whoa ho! You're on fire! Well, it's the Pokémon League's rule. Take this Gym Badge!"

• After the battle (regardless of starter Pokémon)

"I can't believe TMs can be used over and over! If you wanted, you could use one to teach all your Pokémon the same move!"

• Post-game

"Oh! It's you! Your fire is more intense than when you got the Trio Badge!"

Badge Case

The fundamentals of Pokémon battling are type matchups! They're important!

National Gymquirer

Jingle: "Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"

Page: "That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Cafélover! Thank yooou! '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!"

In the anime

Chili in the anime

Chili appeared in Triple Leaders, Team Threats! alongside his brothers, and fellow Gym Leaders Cilan and Cress. Along with Cress, he made his first appearance when Cilan brought Ash to the gym. He began offering Ash various items off the lunch menu, who then declined exclaiming he wanted to battle the Gym Leader. Chili and his brothers then introduced themselves as the leaders. They then lead Ash to the battleground where they revealed their Pokémon. Chili was the first to battle Ash, and lost against his Tepig.

He appeared again in Dreams by the Yard Full!, where he and his brothers presented Ash with the Trio Badge and later when he and Cress said their goodbyes to Cilan, who decided to travel with Ash and Iris.

Cilan mentioned in A Rival Battle for Club Champ! that Trip had battled Chili and defeated his Pansear with his Servine, earning himself the Trio Badge. He appeared in a flashback in A Connoisseur's Revenge! where he and Cress were informed Burgundy that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again, so he battled her in Cilan's place and was defeated.

Chili is set to return in a future episode of the anime where he will face Cilan in battle.

He, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element, in Chili's case, fire. All the brothers tend to use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Chili tends to accentuate words with his fists.

Pokémon

This listing is of Chili's known Pokémon in the anime.

		Pansear
		Pansear is Chili's only known Pokémon. It first appeared when Chili showed what Pokémon he has and Ash scans it on his Pokédex. It is the first Pokémon Ash battled in his gym battle. Tepig's attacks didn't do much damage to Pansear, but Pansear hit Tepig hard with Fire Punch, Flamethrower and Dig. One of Pansear's Dig attacks knocked Tepig into the air. But Ash commanded it to use Tackle into the hole that Pansear was in and it managed to bite down on Pansear's tail. Tepig then spun Pansear around and threw it on the ground, used Ember successfully, and then knocked it out with powerful Tackle. It was revealed in A Rival Battle for Club Champ! that Pansear faced Trip's Servine in battle and lost. Pansear's known moves are Flamethrower, Fire Punch and Dig.

When Bianca interferes with Black's initial test, Chili disqualifies Black from the gym battle for having help.
