I've had a little trouble with Biancas Stoutland and other encounters by her so I'd say Bianca!

I haven't noticed too much of a difference between Cheren and Bianca, maybe the former is a tad stronger. N of course is fairly weak.
Spoiler:
Until the end of the game that is, when he becomes very strong.

Between Bianca and Cheren, I'd have to say the latter. Bianca has been rather easy to defeat thusfar. (Granted, I'm not far in the game, but nevertheless) Cheren has been easy, too... but the fact that he's made good use of hold items had made up for it.

As for N, he hasn't been too hard yet, either. So far, I find Cheren has been a tad harder to beat than N, too.

I haven't reached too far into the game yet, but as of now they are both at an equal level of difficulty. Both rival battles have been enjoyable (although easy) for me so far as well.

I guess Cheren. He's also epic, he can heal pokemon O_o
Belle was pretty weak... and N was epic but not so hard to beat and he did not get enough game time.

Bianca was. My Pokemon were mostly super effective against both N and Cheren, whereas Bianca, shockingly not :(

Cheren all the way. I beat Bianca every time, N didn't ever give me too much trouble. Cheren was supposed to be the toughest though. Bianca, in my opinion, is there for the starter Pokemon dex enteries on the one weak to you.

How are people being even remotly challenged by Bianca, she was patheticc. Cheren I actually had to pull my event celebi on once, right after beating the fourth gym.

I actually have to say Bianca :( Although Cheren or Bianca never actually beat me, that Haderia/Stoutland gave me trouble >:( Take down/Return is just so beastly on it ;-;
