In the Pokémon anime (specifically Pokémon the Series: Black & White, also known as Best Wishes), Cheren appears as the newly appointed Gym Leader of Aspertia City in the Unova region. He is depicted as a calm, kind, and somewhat serious young man who previously worked as a teacher at the local Pokémon Trainers' School before taking on the Gym Leader role.
Physically, he is shown as a tall, slender figure with pale skin, black eyes, and jet-black hair featuring a distinctive small tuft sticking up. In his anime design (reflecting his older Black 2/White 2 game appearance), he wears more formal attire like a white dress shirt, an orange-red necktie, blue pants, and brown shoes.
His personality comes across as composed and responsible, though he occasionally shows some self-doubt or concern about whether he can effectively fulfill his duties as a Gym Leader and guide young Trainers properly. He interacts supportively with characters like Ash and provides advice, especially in episodes involving the Aspertia Gym and battles there.
Unlike his more prominent rival role in the Black/White games (where he travels with the player and Bianca from Nuvema Town), the anime version focuses almost entirely on his established position as a Gym Leader and educator rather than his early journey days.
