Chuck was the gym leader of the [[Johto|Cianwood City]] gym. He was very committed to his fighting-type Pokémon and, like [[Bruno]], sparred with them regularly. Through this, he kept himself in peak physical condition just like his Pokémon. He was very loud and liked to boast of his feats of strength. He was also married to an unnamed wife, who tended to nag him about his weight. Despite his diligence for training, he had a fondness for sweet that could cause him to gain weight.

Chuck is the gym leader of the [[Cianwood City]] gym. He is very committed to his fighting-type Pokémon and, like [[Bruno]], spars with them regularly. At the same time he keeps himself in peak physical condition. He is very loud and likes to boast of his feats of strength. He also has an unnamed wife who lives in Cianwood.
  
In ''Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Crystal'' he was challenged by [[Ethan]]/[[Lyra]] and first attempted to prove his strength by tossing a boulder with his bare hands, but after the trainer reminded him that his action had nothing to do with Pokémon, he engaged the challenger in battle. In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he instead meditated under a waterfall and would not notice the challenger until the flow of water stopped. As in the original, it was pointed out to Chuck that his training method had nothing to do with Pokémon. After being defeated, he relinquished the Stormbadge as well as TM01: Dynamicpunch (or Focus Punch in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'') and promised to train 24 hours a day. This was welcome news to his wife, who thought he was getting flabby. In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he rarely left the gym because of his constant training, but the player could get his Pokégear number by talking to his wife. Calling Chuck on Wednesday nights (between the hours of 8PM and 4AM) would cause him to travel to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo for a rematch. He also appeared by the Cliff Edge Gate, where he talked about the Embedded Tower and was impressed when he heard of Ethan/Lyra's defeat of the Kanto gym leaders.

In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'' he instead meditates under a waterfall and will not notice Gold until the flow of water stops, and once more it is pointed out to Chuck that this training method has nothing to do with Pokémon. After being defeated, he relinquishes the Stormbadge as well as TM01: Dynamicpunch (or Focus Punch in ''HeartGold''/''SoulSilver'') and promises to train 24 hours a day. This is welcome news to his wife, who thought he was getting flabby. In ''HeartGold'' and ''SoulSilver'', he never leaves the gym due to always training, but the player could get his Pokégear number by talking to his wife. Calling Chuck on Wednesday nights (between the hours of 8PM and 4AM) would cause him to travel to Saffron City's Fighting Dojo for a rematch.
