===Main series===
Chili appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' alongside his brothers, and fellow Gym Leaders {{an|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 {{AP|Tepig}}.

At some point, Chili left the Striaton Gym on a journey, after becoming frustrated with a series of consecutive losses. He met up with Cilan, Ash, and Iris in [[Driftveil City]] in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'', where he challenged Cilan to a battle. However, his Pansear was quickly defeated by [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Angered, Chili blamed the loss on Pansear, and Pansear ran away. Chili left to relieve his frustration by stuffing his face when Cilan approached him and offered to help, after learning from Cress that Chili's role as Gym Leader has suffered because of his consecutive losses. Chili apologized to Pansear and helped it try to learn {{m|Solar Beam}}. After successfully learning the [[move]] and refining his techniques, his Pansear had a battle with Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} and won. Chili thanked his brother for his help and planned to return to the Striaton Gym.

In ''[[BW140|Survival of the Striaton Gym!]]'', Chili and Cress journeyed to [[Paladin Island]] and appealed to Cilan to protect the Striaton Gym by defeating [[Morana]]. Chili had rashly wagered ownership of the Gym on Morana's victory over all three brothers in response to her accusations of his being afraid. He returned to Striaton City once Cilan had defeated Morana.


Chili appeared in a fantasy along with [[Cress]] in [[BW099]].
====Character====
Chili, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element. In Chili's case, his element is {{t|Fire}} and so he often talks about his fiery passion when battling. His personality also fits this motif, as Chili can be described as hotheaded and reckless. In times of anger Chili will always visit a donut shop to calm himself down. All the brothers use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Chili tends to accentuate words with his fists.

He is markedly confident and hopes to one day open a Fire-type [[Gym]]. However, ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' revealed that Chili had been struggling after suffering consecutive losses as [[Gym Leader]]. With the help of {{an|Cilan}}'s [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] evaluation, Chili was able to refine his battle style. He learned that his "offense is the best defence" techniques were perfectly suited for battle and went on to help {{TP|Chili|Pansear}} master {{m|Solar Beam}} for a wider [[move]] set. Chili was also able to tap into his anger as a source of strength.

[[File:Chili Adventures.png|right|thumb|100px|Chili in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Cilan Cress Chili Adventures.png|right|thumb|260px|Chili in Pokémon Adventures]]
Chili, along with his brothers, are first seen when {{adv|Black}} sets out on his journey to beat the Pokémon League. Later, Chili appears at the Striaton Gym with his brothers and proposes the idea of throwing Black out of the restaurant when he causes a scene. The idea is refused and the brothers serve tea to signal the start of their Gym battle against the challenger, Black.  
Chili, along with his brothers [[Cilan]] and [[Cress]], 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.
 
Like his brothers, Chili tends to keep his arms in a certain position. In his case, he keeps them held at his hips.


While Black goes through the Gym challenge, Chili calls to inform him that he has been disqualified for Bianca's interference. He quickly reveals that he was joking and instead tells Black that he is allowing Cheren and Bianca to challenge the Gym as well.  
Chili 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, Chili 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.


After Black, Cheren, and Bianca clear the Gym challenge, they face the Striaton triplets in a battle. Chili and his brothers prove powerful by using type advantages over their opponents Pokémon. Despite the strength they possess, Chili, Cress, 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, Chili presents the challengers with the {{Badge|Trio}}.
In ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', Chili, Cilan, and Cress 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, Chili 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.

Chili in the anime

Chili debuted 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 declined, exclaiming he wanted to battle the Gym Leader. Chili and his brothers introduced themselves as the Leaders and gave Ash the choice of who he wanted to battle. In a first, Ash decided to battle all three brothers. Chili was the first to battle Ash and lost against his Tepig.

In Dreams by the Yard Full!, Chili and his brothers presented Ash with the Trio Badge. Later Chili 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 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.

At some point, Chili left the Striaton Gym on a journey, after becoming frustrated with a series of consecutive losses. He met up with Cilan, Ash, and Iris in Driftveil City in A Call for Brotherly Love!, where he challenged Cilan to a battle. However, his Pansear was quickly defeated by Cilan's Pansage. Angered, Chili blamed the loss on Pansear, and Pansear ran away. Chili left to relieve his frustration by stuffing his face when Cilan approached him and offered to help, after learning from Cress that Chili's role as Gym Leader has suffered because of his consecutive losses. Chili apologized to Pansear and helped it try to learn Solar Beam. After successfully learning the move and refining his techniques, his Pansear had a battle with Ash and Oshawott and won. Chili thanked his brother for his help and planned to return to the Striaton Gym.

Young Chili with his brothers

Chili reappeared in a fantasy along with Cress in A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!. He also reappeared in flashbacks in Curtain Up, Unova League!, and Crowning the Scalchop King!. In addition, Chili 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!, Chili and Cress journeyed to Paladin Island and appealed to Cilan to protect the Striaton Gym by defeating Morana. Chili had rashly wagered ownership of the Gym on Morana's victory over all three brothers in response to her accusations of his being afraid. He returned to Striaton City once Cilan had defeated Morana.

Character

Chili, like his brothers, tends to speak about Pokémon in relation to their element. In Chili's case, his element is Fire and so he often talks about his fiery passion when battling. His personality also fits this motif, as Chili can be described as hotheaded and reckless. In times of anger Chili will always visit a donut shop to calm himself down. All the brothers use hand positions like rock, paper, and scissors - Chili tends to accentuate words with his fists.

He is markedly confident and hopes to one day open a Fire-type Gym. However, A Call for Brotherly Love! revealed that Chili had been struggling after suffering consecutive losses as Gym Leader. With the help of Cilan's Pokémon Connoisseur evaluation, Chili was able to refine his battle style. He learned that his "offense is the best defence" techniques were perfectly suited for battle and went on to help Pansear master Solar Beam for a wider move set. Chili was also able to tap into his anger as a source of strength.

Debut PMBW02

Pokémon Adventures

Chili in Pokémon Adventures

Chili, along with his brothers Cilan and Cress, 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, Chili tends to keep his arms in a certain position. In his case, he keeps them held at his hips.

Chili 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, Chili 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, Chili, Cilan, and Cress 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, Chili 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.
