Trip: Difference between revisions

==History==

As a young child, Trip became inspired to be a Pokémon Trainer after watching [[Alder]] battle. He later met the {{pkmn|Champion}}, who would let him pet and feed the {{p|Bouffalant}} Alder was battling with. This experience inspired him to work hard and train to become a Champion. As such, Trip idolizes Alder and has great respect for him.

Trip appeared again at a Battle Club in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', where he and Ash had a 5-on-5 battle, although Trip initially offered to have a [[Full Battle]] with Ash. His Tranquill defeated Ash's Oshawott and Tepig in just two hits with its {{a|Super Luck}}-boosted {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but lost to Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu was defeated by Servine again. [[Ash's Snivy]] defeated Trip's Servine by using {{m|Attract}}. Trip's Frillish later defeated Pidove and Snivy, causing Ash to lose the battle. Afterwards, Trip called Pikachu and Snivy "okay", but called the rest of Ash's team a joke.

Trip reappeared in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where he was training in [[Castelia City]] when a swarm of {{p|Venipede}} suddenly attacked. He used his {{p|Lampent}} to try to fight them off, but Ash yelled at him for doing so, saying that he was only making things worse. Trip insulted him, but was interrupted by [[Burgh]], who agreed with Ash. Later, Trip went after the leader of the Venipede swarm and ordered Lampent to hit it with {{m|Shadow Ball}}, but Ash blocked the attack. Again, Burgh told Trip that he was going about it the wrong way, resulting in Trip stopping. Trip then used Tranquill to help coax out the remaining Venipede and lead them safely out of the city.

Trip appeared again in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', where he participated in a [[Club Battle|tournament]] held by [[Nimbasa Town]]'s [[Don George]]. He was chosen to battle against Cilan in the first match up. In the [[BW040|next episode]], he used his {{p|Gurdurr}} to battle against [[Cilan's Dwebble]]. During the battle Trip put Gurdurr's physical strength along with its girder to great use, giving him an early lead in the battle. Despite putting up a good fight, however, Gurdurr was defeated and Trip was knocked out of the competition. After his Pokémon healed at the [[Pokémon Center]] that night, he left Nimbasa Town believing that there was no point to staying there any longer.

Trip reappeared in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', where he revealed he had already obtained five Badges. During that time, he also got to reunite with [[Alder]], who couldn't remember him. Seeing how much Alder loafed about while battling Ash, Trip's opinion of him slightly changed. He vowed not only to defeat him but also promised to follow the path he believed in before angrily departing.

==Character==

Trip has a teal-colored {{wp|digital camera}}, with which he takes photos for illustrating his journey. He also has an [[Xtransceiver]] so that he can keep in touch with [[Battle Club]]s. Overall, he is a well-reserved individual who tends to keep his feelings to himself. He expressed his emotions much like Ash does now when he was younger. His strategy is all about planning ahead and completing the basics of Pokémon training. Compared to the other rivals of the Unova region, Trip is rather distant and prefers not to interact with them outside of battle.
