Chao (Japanese: チャオ) is the Pokémon given to Black by Professor Juniper in the Pokémon Adventures manga. Originally, as a Tepig, his nickname was Tep (Japanese: ポカ Poka).
History
Chao first appeared as one of the Pokémon owned by Professor Juniper along with the other Unova Starters, Snivy and Oshawott. While he sloppily ate some berries he roasted with his flames, Chao (as a Tepig) got into a fight with Snivy after getting juice on its tail. The two fought each other until they were broken up by Oshawott who had gotten angry and easily knocked them away. Later, they were delivered to an impatient Black so they can be the Pokémon of the new upcoming Trainers. After being sent out of his Poké Ball, Chao and Snivy get into a fight once more and is again stopped by an enraged Oshawott. Chao runs off and Black follows him, leaving Snivy to suffer the wrath of Oshawott. Eventually Black finds Chao stuck on a tree and rescues him from a wild Sewaddle and takes him as his own Pokémon. Later, Black goes to a library to look up the evolved form of Tepig so he can decide an appropriate nickname for Chao. Chao assumes that Black meant that he wasn't happy with his present form and runs away. Black follows him and after finding out the reason why Chao ran away, decides to give him the nickname "Tep" instead of a name based on his final form.
After some adventuring, Chao is introduced to the Tepig of White, Gigi and becomes friends with her. White, needing a male Tepig to go with her female Tepig in her media shootings, decides to employ Black and Chao after the former runs up a huge bill that he now needs to pay off. Chao and Gigi are then paired up in several shootings, such as movies or commercials.
Chao is later used against N in Accumula Town where he is almost defeated by the young man's powerful Pokémon. With words of encouragement from Black, Chao manages to get back up and defeats his Tympole, allowing N to decide that the battle is over and leave.
Chao, alongside Cheren's Snivy and Bianca's Oshawott, is used in the Striaton Gym against the Gym Leaders, Cilan, Chili, and Cress. Eventually, they manage to defeat Chili's Pansear, allowing them to win with three to one after the time limit runs out.
After arriving in Castelia City, Chao and Black encounter a lost boy crying in one of its buildings. When Black leaves to find help to find out why the boy is crying, Chao is left to watch over him. The boy quickly reveals himself to be a Zorua in disguise and causes havoc for Chao all throughout the building. Eventually, Chao manages to attack the Pokémon, but Zorua escapes and one of his attacks hits Black instead.
Character
Chao shares a love of Pokémon battles with Black, and also a love for food as seen in Fussing and Fighting. Chao has a big heart, and wants to be appreciated for who he is at the time as opposed to what he can become, as seen in A Nickname for Tepig when he was determined to show Black that he was great the way he was, thus his nickname reflecting his current stage as opposed to evolved stage like the rest of Black's party. Chao is a bit of a romantic, almost instantly sparking a relationship with Gigi. He's also very clever, as he used Pansage's leaves to heal himself, Oshawott, and Snivy, winning the battle at the Striaton Gym.

Trivia
- Chao is currently the only of Black's Pokémon to be given a name based on its base form rather than its final form. However, his nickname was changed once he evolved into a Pignite.
- Unless Natee's name change currently only present in Chaung Yi's translation isn't counted, then Chao's evolution marks the first and currently only time where a Pokémon belonging to a Pokédex holder has its name changed.
