Cress makes his debut in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow [[Gym Leader]]s {{an|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.

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, 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 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s about type matchups.


Panpour's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}
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.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Cress debuted in ''[[PS469|Welcome to Striaton City!!]]'', where the Striaton Gym was visited by a young Trainer named {{adv|Black}}. Although only Black challenged the Gym, his friends {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|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 {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} was knocked out. Despite this, the battle ended in the Striaton Gym Leaders' loss when Black's [[Bo|Tep]] used {{TP|Cilan|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 {{Badge|Trio}} as proof of their victory.


===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS515|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 [[evolution|evolved]] their Pokémon, Cress and his brothers were unable to defeat their opponents. The brothers were rescued by [[Kelden|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, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Cobalion}}, {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Virizion}}, and {{DL|Swords of Justice (Adventures)|Terrakion}}, to step in and rescue it, using their swords to send both the Gym Leaders and Shadow Triad flying.
[[File:Cress Adventures.png|right|thumb|140px|Cress in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cress, along with his brothers, are first seen when {{adv|Black}} sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Later, Cress appears at the Striaton Gym with his brothers where they serve tea to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger, Black.


After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Cress and his brothers prove powerful by using type advantages over their opponents Pokémon. Despite the strength they possess, Cress, Chili, and Cilan are defeated once Black has his [[Tep]] use Pansage's fallen leaves to revive {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}} and {{TP|Cheren|Snivy}}, allowing them to win the battle 3 to 2. Having lost the battle, Cress presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}.
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', Cress and his brothers were seen in [[Opelucid City]] helping people trapped in buildings frozen by the [[Plasma Frigate]].


He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position, in Cress's case, crossed in front of him.

Main series

Cress in the anime

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 also made cameo appearances in the ending Let's Join Hands and in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened.

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.

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.

Panpour

Debut PMBW02

Pocket Monsters BW: Good Partners

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.

Black 2 & White 2 arc

In Giant Chasm, Cress and his brothers were seen in Opelucid City helping people trapped in buildings frozen by the Plasma Frigate.
