'''Cilan''' (Japanese: '''デント''' ''Dent'') is one of the three [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Striaton Gym]]. He specializes in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon and will battle the player if they chose {{p|Oshawott}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. He gives the {{Badge|Trio}} to Trainers who defeat him.<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
Cilan appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Striaton City's Gym, alongside [[Chili]] and [[Cress]]. This Gym is the first to be challenged by the player. Cilan battles the player if {{p|Oshawott}} is the chosen starter Pokémon. Trainers who defeat Cilan will receive the Trio Badge, along with {{TM|83|Work Up}}.<br />
<br />
During the two years between {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, Cilan, along with his brothers, retired from being Gym Leaders to train.<br />

:''"Yes? Yes, I am a [[Gym Leader]] of this town. You are...? Right. You want to challenge the Gym. In that case... What was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] you chose? <Starter>... I see. It's weak against <[[type]]>-type Pokémon. I think you need to prepare to face that type. I'll be waiting for you inside."''<br />

:[[Chili]]: ''"I'm Chili! I light things up with {{type|Fire}} Pokémon!"''<br />
:[[Cress]]: ''"I'm a {{type|Water}} specialist, and my name is Cress. Pleased to make your acquaintance."''<br />
:Cilan: "And my name is Cilan. I like {{type|Grass}} Pokémon."<br />
<br />
:Cilan: ''"Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."''<br />
: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!"''<br />
:Cress: ''"That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was <type> type, it seems."''<br />
<br />
* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Snivy}} or {{p|Tepig}}<br />
:''"...Uh hm. I always seem to lose the timing of... of the dance. Like that. True enough, I did want to... want to have a Pokémon battle with you."''<br />
<br />
* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Oshawott}}<br />
:''"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon will...um... We're gonna battle come what may."''<br />
<br />
* Before battle<br />
:''"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"Ah! My Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending his last Pokémon<br />
:''"Huh? Could it be? Could I have only one Pokémon left?"''<br />
<br />
* When defeated<br />
:''"Er... Is it over now?"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"...What a surprise You...are very strong. Seems like not even Chili or Cress could beat you.."''<br />
<br />
* After the battle (regardless of starter Pokémon)<br />
:''"Gym [[Badge]]s are a proof of a Trainer's abilities. If you have one Badge, Pokémon, including traded Pokémon up to Lv. 20, will obey you without question. We also want you to have this. [[TM83]] contains {{m|Work Up}}. If you use Work Up, the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Sp. Atk}} go up! By the way, [[TM]]s can be used as many times as you want."''<br />
<br />
:''"In the [[Unova]] region, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. We'll need to work hard and improve."''<br />
<br />
* Post-game<br />
:''"In the Unova region, um, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means, well, that other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. Going...slow...and steady...is OK, so... we compete with one and get, um, stronger and stronger."''<br />
<br />
'''Badge Case'''<br />

* Striation Restaurant - Present<br />
: (''to {{player}}'') "''Welcome to Striation Restaurant! This place used to be a Pokémon Gym, but a lot has happened...''"<br />
: (''After speaking to the other brothers'') "''Well, why don't I tell you what happened...''" <br />
<br />
* Striation Trainers' School - Flashback<br />
:''"Chili, are you listening to me? We have to study hard and become full-fledged Gym Leaders as soon as possible..."''<br />
:''"You think so? But it isn't that big of a deal. We may not have made it in time, but [[Team Plasma]] is still gone."''<br />
:''"Come on, you two... Don't you think it's a bit strange to get recognition and respect as Gym Leaders just for beating bad guys?"''<br />
:''"I mean... [[Shadow Triad|They]] were overwhelmingly strong."''<br />
: (''to Cress'') ''"You're right. Chili. Cress. I think as long as the three of us act like the Gym Leaders we are now, nothing will ever change.'"''<br />
:''"All right. Let's resign as Gym Leaders and start our training over from the ground up. Then, I'm sure one of us will become a Trainer everyone recognizes as great."''<br />

* End of flashback (if initiated by Cilan)<br />
:''"Because of that day, we can truly aim for the top!"''<br />

==In the anime==<br />
[[File:Cilan anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Cilan in the anime]]<br />
{{main|Cilan (anime)}}<br />
Cilan appears in the anime as one of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{ashfr|traveling partners}}. He was one of the Gym Leaders of the [[Striaton Gym]], as well as a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]], but he decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}} so that he could experience different people, places, and Pokémon to increase his skill as a Connoisseur, instead of being confined to Striaton City. He navigates the group to their various locations, as well as cooks the meals.<br />
<br />

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===<br />
In the {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} manga, Cilan appears along with his brothers Chili and Cress. They are seen in [[PMBW03]], where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit a restaurant owned by the three brothers. {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tries to instigate a fight between the brothers, but fails on many occasions.<br />

<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Cilan Adventures.png|right|thumb|100px|Cilan in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Cilan, along with his brothers, are first seen when {{adv|Black}} sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Later, Cilan appears at the Striaton Gym with his brothers where they serve tea to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger, Black. <br />
<br />
After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Cilan and his brothers prove powerful by using type advantages over their opponents Pokémon. Despite the strength they possess, Cilan, Cress, and Chili 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, Cilan presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}.<br />
<br />
He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position, in Cilan's case, held behind his back.<br />

It, as a Pansage, was used in the battle against Black, Cheren, and Bianca and defeats [[Bianca's Oshawott]] by shattering its [[scalchop]] and smashing it into a wall. Despite being powerful, Pansage was defeated when [[Tep]] uses its previously dropped leaves to revive itself, Oshawott, and Snivy, which allowed them to win the battle.<br />
<br />
Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple battle. Although the battle was tough, Pansage was given a Leaf Stone, enabling it to evolve into a Simisage to become stronger.}}<br />

It's weak against <[[type]]>-type Pokémon. I think you need to prepare to face that type. I'll be waiting for you inside."''<br />

:Cilan: "And my name is Cilan. I like {{type|Grass}} Pokémon."<br />
<br />
:Cilan: ''"Um, you see... As for why the three of us, um, are all here is, well, er..."''<br />
: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!"''<br />
:Cress: ''"That is indeed the case. And the partner you first chose was <type> type, it seems."''<br />
<br />
* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Snivy}} or {{p|Tepig}}<br />
:''"...Uh hm. I always seem to lose the timing of... of the dance. Like that. True enough, I did want to... want to have a Pokémon battle with you."''<br />
<br />
* If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] is {{p|Oshawott}}<br />
:''"Nothing personal... No hard feelings... Me and my Grass-type Pokémon will...um... We're gonna battle come what may."''<br />

* Before battle<br />
:''"So, um, if you're OK with me, I'll, um, put everything I've got into being, er, you know, your opponent."''<br />
<br />
* During battle (the first non-KO HP loss)<br />
:''"Ah! My Pokémon!"''<br />
<br />
* After sending his last Pokémon<br />
:''"Huh? Could it be? Could I have only one Pokémon left?"''<br />
<br />
* When defeated<br />
:''"Er... Is it over now?"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"...What a surprise You...are very strong. Seems like not even Chili or Cress could beat you.."''<br />
<br />
* After the battle (regardless of starter Pokémon)<br />
:''"Gym [[Badge]]s are a proof of a Trainer's abilities. If you have one Badge, Pokémon, including traded Pokémon up to Lv. 20, will obey you without question. We also want you to have this. [[TM83]] contains {{m|Work Up}}. If you use Work Up, the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Sp. Atk}} go up! By the way, [[TM]]s can be used as many times as you want."''<br />
<br />
:''"In the [[Unova]] region, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means the other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. We'll need to work hard and improve."''<br />
<br />
* Post-game<br />
:''"In the Unova region, um, we are still novice Gym Leaders. Which means, well, that other Gym Leaders are much stronger than we are. Going...slow...and steady...is OK, so... we compete with one and get, um, stronger and stronger."''<br />

<br />
* Striation Trainers' School - Flashback<br />
:''"Chili, are you listening to me? We have to study hard and become full-fledged Gym Leaders as soon as possible..."''<br />
:''"You think so? But it isn't that big of a deal. We may not have made it in time, but [[Team Plasma]] is still gone."''<br />
:''"Come on, you two... Don't you think it's a bit strange to get recognition and respect as Gym Leaders just for beating bad guys?"''<br />
:''"I mean... [[Shadow Triad|They]] were overwhelmingly strong."''<br />
: (''to Cress'') ''"You're right. Chili. Cress. I think as long as the three of us act like the Gym Leaders we are now, nothing will ever change.'"''<br />
:''"All right. Let's resign as Gym Leaders and start our training over from the ground up. Then, I'm sure one of us will become a Trainer everyone recognizes as great."''<br />

{{main|Cilan (anime)}}<br />
Cilan appears in the anime as one of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{ashfr|traveling partners}}. He was one of the Gym Leaders of the [[Striaton Gym]], as well as a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]], but he decided to travel with Ash and {{an|Iris}} so that he could experience different people, places, and Pokémon to increase his skill as a Connoisseur, instead of being confined to Striaton City. He navigates the group to their various locations, as well as cooks the meals.<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Cilan Adventures.png|right|thumb|100px|Cilan in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
Cilan, along with his brothers, are first seen when {{adv|Black}} sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Later, Cilan appears at the Striaton Gym with his brothers where they serve tea to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger, Black. <br />
<br />
After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Cilan and his brothers prove powerful by using type advantages over their opponents Pokémon. Despite the strength they possess, Cilan, Cress, and Chili 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, Cilan presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}.<br />
<br />
He, like his brothers, tends to move his arms in a certain position, in Cilan's case, held behind his back.<br />

|desc={{p|Simisage}} is Cilan's only known Pokémon which first appeared as a {{p|Pansage}}. Along with being his main Pokémon, Simisage assists Cilan and his brothers in the kitchen by mixing herbs for tea. It, as a Pansage, was used in the battle against Black, Cheren, and Bianca and defeats [[Bianca's Oshawott]] by shattering its [[scalchop]] and smashing it into a wall. Despite being powerful, Pansage was defeated when [[Tep]] uses its previously dropped leaves to revive itself, Oshawott, and Snivy, which allowed them to win the battle.<br />
<br />
Later, it was used to battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in a Triple battle. Although the battle was tough, Pansage was given a Leaf Stone, enabling it to evolve into a Simisage to become stronger.}}<br />
