In the games
Cheren lives in Nuvema Town with the player (Hilbert \ Hilda) and Bianca.
In Black & White, he is the rival of the player, while in Black 2 & White 2, he is Aspertia City's Gym Leader. He gives the player (Nate \ Rosa) the Basic Badge when he \ she defeats him.
Black and White
Cheren is a very intelligent boy. His starter will always have an advantage over it and he will often challenge you to battles.
Cheren is one of player's friends who will be encountered on his/her journey and also battles him/her after the player defeats every gym leader. After the player receive the Freeze Badge, Cheren helps him/her beat Team Plasma in Dragonspiral Tower and gives useful tips. He is one of the characters who receives a starter as a present from Professor Juniper.
Since Bianca chose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage against the player character's, he has no other choice but to take the Pokémon with a type advantage, though he said he wanted that Pokémon from the start. He later reappears many times throughout the game to battle him/her, sometimes giving the items when the player defeat him. His goal, like many other previous rivals, is to become the Pokémon Champion. The player character will challenge Cheren right before entering Victory Road, and is then seen with Champion Alder before the character faces N, and Ghetsis.
After defeating N and Ghetsis, Cheren appears before his house, where he says that he is going to explore the region again, starting from Route 1.
He can later be seen outside of Nimbasa City, where he recalls the day that he met Alder, and how it was the start of his new look on becoming stronger. He then says he will go to the Pokémon League, where he will battle you, just like the old times. He will be waiting for you at the top of Victory Road where you can battle him again once a day.
Black 2 and White 2
Cheren reappears in Pokémon Black and White Version 2 as a Normal-type Gym Leader. He serves as a replacement for Lenora and will award the Basic Badge to challengers who defeat him. If you call him on the Xtransceiver, he will talk about the types your Pokémon are weak against and your Pokémon abilities.
