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."
"How exceedingly lucky for you that you do not have to face me."

"I guess you're right."
"You're overthinking it, but I can't say the possibility is zero."

In the anime

Cress in the anime

Cress makes his debut in Triple Leaders, Team Threats! alongside his brothers, and fellow Gym Leaders Cilan and Chili. Along with Chili, he first makes his appearance when Cilan brings Ash to the Gym where he then proceeds to take his drink order. Ash declines saying he wants to battle the Gym Leader, and as he gets up to leave Cress and his brothers introduce themselves as the leaders. They then lead Ash to the battleground where they introduced their individual Pokémon.

He was the second to battle Ash, where he proceeded to defeat Pikachu, despite his Panpour's type disadvantage. He appears again at the beginning of Dreams by the Yard Full! where he and his brothers present the Trio Badge to Ash. Later he and Chili say 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 inform Burgundy that Cilan had gone on a journey and could not battle her again.

Cress reappeared in A Call for Brotherly Love! where he 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 in order 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 from Curtain Up, Unova League!. He also makes cameo appearances in the ending Let's Join Hands and in the credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

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

He, 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.

Pokémon

This listing is of Cress's known Pokémon in the anime:

Cress's Panpour
Panpour
Panpour was given to Cress at a young age when his brothers were also given their first Pokémon. It first appeared when Cress showed what Pokémon he has and Ash scans it on his Pokédex. It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage despite having a type-disadvantage. It was the second Pokémon to face Ash in his Gym battle, Ash used Pikachu. Panpour's Double Team confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful Scratch. Pikachu tried to use Thunderbolt, but Panpour's Water Gun hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a Volt Tackle, but Panpour's Mud Sport stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.

Panpour reappeared in flashbacks in A Call for Brotherly Love! and Curtain Up, Unova League!.

Prior to Survival of the Striaton Gym!, Panpour battled with Morana and her Glalie. It attempted a Scratch attack, though its opponent dodged and struck with Headbutt. Its Water Gun was then overpowered by Water Pulse, which hit Panpour hard, and it was knocked out by Glalie's Sheer Cold. Later in the episode, Panpour greeted Cilan's Pansage, alongside Chili's Pansear and cheered him on during his battle with Morana's Abomasnow.

Panpour's known moves are Double Team, Scratch, Water Gun and Mud Sport.

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Cress in Pokémon Adventures

Cress, along with brothers Chili and Cilan, are the triplet Gym Leaders of the Striaton Gym. Although they each got their Gym Leader job individually, they were assigned to one Gym. It is later revealed that they were given the shared job to help teach newer Trainers about type advantages. Due to the type they each specialize in, it was the perfect job for them.

Cress and his brothers are first seen in Black's imagination as he sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Cress later appears in person at the Striaton Gym with his brothers. With the help of his Panpour, Cress serves tea to Black to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger. Although only Black challenged the Gym, the brothers allow his friends, Cheren and Bianca, to challenge it as well. After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Due to the type advantage their Pokémon have over their opponents, Cress and his brothers prove to be powerful Trainers. Despite the clear advantage they had over their opponents, Cress and his brothers are defeated when Black has his Tep use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive his teammates, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cress presents the challengers with the Trio Badge. Sometime later, Cress and his brothers prepare to head out to an unknown location.

The brothers later confront the Shadow Triad near the P2 Laboratory. They reveal that even though they weren't at Nacrene City during the Dark Stone incident, they were assigned to follow their enemies if the other Gym Leaders were defeated. The Shadow Triad prove to be very powerful foes, and even after evolving their Pokémon, Cress and his brothers still weren't strong enough to defeat them. Suddenly, the Gym Leaders are saved by Keldeo, who had been watching the battle with its mentors. Believing that the Striaton Gym Leaders to be the better humans, Keldeo attacks the Shadow Triad. Before it can continue, the Shadow Triad attack Keldeo and trap it. Keldeo's mentors, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion jump down to save it by attacking the Shadow Triad along with Cress, Cilan, and Chili.

He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position. In Cress's case, they are kept crossed in front of his chest.

Pokémon

Cress's Panpour

Cress's Simipour
Panpour → Simipour
Simipour is Cress's only known Pokémon that first appeared as a Panpour. Along with being his main Pokémon, Simipour assists Cress and his brothers in the kitchen by pouring water for tea. It, as a Panpour, was used against Black, Cheren, and Bianca in a Gym battle. Despite proving powerful, they are defeated after the time limit ends after Chili's Pansear is defeated, making the challengers' win with 3 to 2.

Later, it was used to battle the Shadow Triad in a Triple Battle. Although the battle was tough, Panpour was given a Water Stone, enabling it to evolve into a Simipour to become stronger. Despite this power up, it was still being defeated before Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, attacked both groups to rescue the Keldeo the Shadow Triad had captured.

Simipour's known moves are Water Gun and Work Up, and its Ability is Gluttony.
