CHARACTER
Name: Chili
Canon: Pokemon
Gender: Male
Age: ??? Late childhood, early adolescence? It's hard to judge, but Cilan acts as Brock's replacement... Brock looked and sounded significantly older than Cilan, though, and Brock was only fifteen! So, if Cilan and his brothers are younger, Chili could be anywhere between 12 and 14
Wing Color: a fiery red, like his hair!
Canon Point: Decolora Adventures Episode 18: Cilan VS The Icy Challenger! The Crisis at Striation Gym!
Canon Point Explanation: end of character development arc and final appearance in BW!
History: At the beginning, when Ash first battles the Striaton triplets, Chili is the weakest, despite his hyper-confident display. He bids Cilan farewell on his journey, even though the decision to leave comes as sudden, but off-screen, Chili's losing streak continues and is further highlighted by the fact that there are now only two gym leaders to battle in Striaton City.
Depressed by his endless losses, he lies in the empty battlefield at night, wondering why he kept losing, when Cress comes over. He desperately holds onto Cress and asks him if he honestly thought that his own weakness was the reason for all his losses and, Cress being bluntly honest, confirmed it.
This hurts Chili so much that he decides to run away, abandoning the Gym solely to Cress' care.
Cress keeps the gym and restaurant running alone, with one of his brothers out on a journey and the other missing, without saying a word (likely due to feeling responsible for Chili's situation), so Cilan never realizes it until he runs into Chili in Driftveil City!
Now confident that he has the skills needed to beat Cilan in battle, Chili challenges him... only to lose.
In his anger, he blames his Pansear for the loss, which prompts Pansear to run away (I told you they were two of a kind...). And then, Chili runs off elsewhere too.
Cilan finds out about the reason for Chili being here after calling Cress and decides to help his brother improve his battling ability by evuluating his "marriage" with Pansear... but where will they find him now? Fortunately, Chili's habits are predictable to Cilan, so he heads to the nearest donut shop, because that's just where Chili would go when he's upset.
After a brief talk, Cilan manages to convince Chili to put the donuts down and patch things up with Pansear, so he can officiallytaste them evaluate their marriage as a Pokemon Connoisseur.
Chili knows just where to find Pansear, of course... Pansear ran off to a nearby tree to stress eat as well.
After apologizing to Pansear for blaming it, he trains side-by-side with it, following Cilan's tutelage, to help make up for their weakness.
Once Pansear masters SolarBeam, he says goodbye and goes back to help Cress at the gym.
They keep in touch with Cilan, but nothing major happens until Drago, a Pokemon trainer with a strange habit of dojo-style challenges takes on the Gym and easily defeats Chili, mocking the Striaton Gym and saying she intends to "take down its sign" as it were. When Chili is defeated, Corn accepts her challenge, but is also defeated... Cilan is no longer at the gym, so Drago leaves in search of him. With the future of their gym threatened, Cress and Chili call Cilan to let him know and, after he narrowly defeats her and lectures her on her dispassionate battles, she leaves them alone.
When Cilan shows concern for them and the gym, suggesting he go back to help protect it from other trainers like Drago, Chili and Cress confidently reassure him that they will protect the gym and that he should go on to do whatever it is that he truly wishes to do.
Personality: (For reference, despite the Black and White dub being quite accurate, the dub misses out on some of the subtler aspects of characterization present in the Japanese version. For the sake of consistency with this game's Cilan, I will be using English names, but Japanese version characterization... for example, the dub doesn't really translate Pod's "oresama" in any consistent way, so I'll have Chili say things like "my great and amazing self" every now and then to try and convey that same overblown, hammy way of speaking he has in the Japanese version. Hope that's acceptable! ♥)
At first glance, Chili is your typical brash, impatient, temperamental, wannabe-tough-teenager, although just a bit younger than most (or is he a preteen? No official age stated!). He has quite the ego and, in the Japanese version, refers to himself as "oresama" conveying an extremely inflated ego. He's also the rudest of the three Striaton Gym Leaders, with Cilan generally being a mild-mannered medium and Cress being the highly formal and excessively polite one. If angered, Chili's language will take a coarser affect, but he's typically upbeat, even if he's also quick to anger. He doesn't stay in a bad mood for long! ... well, usually.
Cilan will wink and pose, Cress will charm with flowery language and a cool demeanour, while Chili makes his introduction shoving a fist at the audience. Matching fighting poses with his Pansear seems to be his favoured way to present himself! A passionate and tough image is what he prefers to show, so, at least initially, he doesn't like relying on anyone else for help. He wants to prove himself just as good as his brothers, but by his own effort! ... too bad he doesn't really plan things through... rushing off into the wilderness to get stronger, without any set destination and no planning in advance, entirely on a whim, wasn't exactly one of his best laid plans.
To match his temperament, his Pokemon Type of choice is Fire! It follows that his partner is the Fire Elemental Monkey, Pansear.
Even as a child, although only shown in one very brief still shot, we can surmise he was always the way he is is now: Chili as a child is shown as the only one with his shirt messily untucked, too caught up in Pokemon battles to care, and sporting a bandaid across his nose. Just as reckless and careless.
At his job now as a waiter/Gym Leader, Chili is more presentable than he was then! He is as smartly dressed as his brothers. However, he's also the only one shown reading messages on his cell phone while working... (to be fair, it was an e-mail from Cilan!).
He is very proud of his Gym and he will get very angry and rude with anyone who threatens the Gym's reputation. He cannot contain his anger very well alone, very quickly losing his cool and not thinkin about the consequences of his actions; fortunately, Cress is usually there to reign him in!
Chili has a habit of stress eating. If he gets particularly upset, past the point of shouting insults and turning nearly as red as his hair, he'll head to the nearest donut shop and angrily rip into a ridiculous number of them.
Despite his arrogance and tendency to act without thinking, Chili is presently entirely capable of recognizing his own weakness and accepts Cilan's help with just a little bit of nudging: he is taught that the reason for his weakness in battle is lack of balance, so he teaches his Pansear SolarBeam so it'll have a non-Fire Type move, after undergoing rather strict training.
When he wins a battle after it, he stares in disbelief after being announced the winner, before he lights up and embraces Pansear.
He looks up to both of his brothers, in spite of any temporary misunderstandings or disagreements. Cilan is experienced, Cress is stable. Cress, especially, is the steady foundation of their teamwork, so when he sees Cress defeated and losing the confidence placed in him, he's shaken. Just screaming at someone strong enough to defeat even his stronger brother prompts Chili to turn to Cilan for help instead, because he has learned to recognize when he needs help and to rely on his brothers.
The last time they part ways with Cilan, when he expresses his reluctance to leave the gym to just the two of them, Chili vows to protect the gym with all his strength, flexing a muscle and smiling confidently, while he and Cress encourage Cilan to continue journeying and do whatever it is that he really wants to do.
So, he's not only learned to depend on his brothers instead of recklessly throwing himself into potentially dangerous situations on a whim, but he's also learned to be responsible himself, instead of just throwing things onto Cress without a second thought as he did when he set off on his unplanned journey.
(He's still a not-too-bright kid with an explosive temper and an overblown ego, whose first instinct in dealing with any problem is to a problem is to shout and swear at it, but hey!)
Pansear's personality is basically the same as Chili's, only with a healthier choice in eating habits (but when you eat that much when you're upset, is it that big of a difference whether you're eating wild fruits or donuts?) and a slightly less reckless method of running away (a nearby tree instead of heading out on a cross-regional journey). Pansear's also a bit easier to reason with when calm, but when angered, it throws fits like a spoiled five year old.
It can use Fire Punch, Flame Charge, Fire Blast, and SolarBeam (gathers up energy from the sun, takes some time, before it turns into a beam it shoots out-- the others are straightforward, imagine typical fighting moves only with a whole lotta fire). It can also Dig. o/
Its special ability is... Gluttony, which means that if you give it a berry, it'll eat it faster in battle than most. Who's surprised, with those eating habits, honestly?
Pansear is very close with Panpour and Pansage! They seem to mirror the triplets' brotherly affections. Also, Pansear is VERY tightly bonded with Chili, which is probably why it doesn't run away very far, even though he was pretty awful to it when he got mad... they've been together since they were little kids!
Strengths
Physical: You'd think with all his punching and posturing he'd have the strength to back it up, but he's built like a host cafe waiter like his brothers. He's reasonably fast and in shape, considering he had to make it from Striaton to Driftveil on foot, which took Ash and friends weeks (possibly even months?), but that's it. Don't expect any Iris-type stunts from this kid, okay?
Excellent balance! It comes from having to balance so many plates and things.
Mental: ... it's average? It depends on his mood. It's not that he's dim-witted so much as over-excitable and prone to making rash decisions which aren't too smart in retrospect, but hey, hindsight is 20/20. He's prone to making some really bad decisions... If culinary skill amounts to anything, there's definitely plenty of that! They're all pretty good cooks.
Emotional: aaah, Chili, Chili, Chili... Pokemon grow to resemble their trainers and Pansear pouts, screams 'til it's red(der) in the face, pitches a fit, and runs off to stuff its face when it's upset. Guess which one is the only thing Chili doesn't do anymore?If you guessed pitching a fit, you'd be right! He outgrew that one.
He used to be VERY insecure about his skill as a trainer and he probably still has his doubts every now and then, but he's realized he's still capable of winning and he just needs to work on balancing his battle style instead of playing solely to his strengths. He's also matured in terms of accepting responsibility and sharing his burdens.
Weaknesses
Physical: I believe we've established that he's a skinny, prettyboy host cafe waiter, yes?
Mental: Rationality is quite easily overtaken by emotion. A tad bit forgetful (you're triplets, you know your brother is blunt, why ask for honesty then get upset when it's given to you?) and a dreadful planner in that state (YEAH, LET'S JUST RUN OFF AND TRAIN AND crap, didn't plan a route or take anything useful).
Emotional: Easily flustered ball of rage. Needs to be kept on a leash by his brothers or he might just get into a fist fight (seriously, if Cress wasn't there, I think that's what that confrontation with Drago would have ended in). Tries to cover up insecurities by adopting an obnoxiously overconfident persona.
Anything else?: I am very well aware that people typically write differently from the way they speak, but because of the overblown manner of speaking Chili has, particularly in the Japanese canon and how that contrasts quite sharply with how badly he thinks of himself at his lowest, I will make him write the way he speaks because it's put-on. It's like a facade that became his true face, without necessarily imparting the confidence it suggests. In other words, it's how he wants to present himself. He wants to be come across as super-confident and tough, even if it's to a parody-esque level of ridiculousnesswhich I'm not sure he even realizes, the dork, because it's better than sounding unsure and weak.
Hope that's alright! ♥
SAMPLES
First Person: Okay... I don't really get how this works, but it's set up like some kinda blogging site, right?
This thing means it's recording, right? [He squints dubiously at the screen, leaning close, before leaning back and grinning brightly, punching a triumphant fist into the air.]
Alright, all set!
... so, I'm guessing I either had a really rough night and somehow ended up stranded way outside of Striaton without my memories, or this is a really boring dream, oooor I got mugged buying ingredients for the restaurant—
Which, by the way, seriously, what kinda thief gives you free stuff in return for what they stole? Like, what're the chances?
[He gives the journal a little shake, looking amused.] Pansear's still here, so things are already better than they could'a been! Wish I remembered how I got here, though... I don't know what I'm gonna do if I catch that guy who dared to rob my amazing self, though! Should I mess him up for stealing from our restaurant or thank him for the journal?
[He exchanges a silly, playful smile with the little red monkey that scampers onto his shoulder.] Sear, sear!
It's definitely a gift worthy of somebody as great and awesome as me! Hey, I wonder if any of these pages have anything written on them, like maybe a note from my self-with-the-memories to my future-memory-less self! Sounds like a plan someone like me'd come up with!
[And oops, there he's ended that video accidentally, not noticing that he only seriously considered the "generous thief" scenerio and nothing else.]
Third Person: Chili was feeling pretty cold. That was the first thing he realized as he started to wake up. The second was that he needed a new vest and shirt, his were starting to feel tight around the shoulders.
Where'd he fall asleep? Did he leave a window open? What's this draf—
"Aw, crap."
He opened his eyes and glanced around. Well, somehow, he'd not only managed to fall asleep upside down (not too unusual, sometimes, he wound up hanging halfway out of bed), but also hanging from a tree somewhere.
He started panicking, flailing and falling right out of the tree with a loud crash. Well, maybe he should have thought about carefully climbing down, but he'd started reacting before he had time to think.
"Ow-ow-owwww, geez!" he stood up, dusting off his uniform. "Well, at least nothing's ripped... that's lucky."
"Pan-sear!"
Pansear hopped down from the top of the tree, Chili catching it in his arms. "You could'a woken me up and let me down easy, you know."
"Sear-sear!"
"I ain't that heavy!" he huffed indignantly, puffing up his chest. "I weigh just as much as a guy as awesome as me ought to! ... but I guess that's a little too heavy for you, huh? ... so, any idea when we set out?"
"Sear..." Pansear shrugged, scratching its head.
"If a great guy like me's gonna leave behind something he swore to protect, it should at least be for a reason good enough to remember, y'know? ... maybe we can figure it out over some food."
"Pan-pan!" Now, that was an idea Pansear liked!
