He appeared again in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'' in order to participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. His goal was to win and get the chance to battle Alder. His first round battle was with [[Burgundy]]. Using his {{TP|Trip|Serperior}}, which had evolved from Servine, he was able to defeat her quickly and advanced to the second round. In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Trip continued to advance to the semi-finals where he once again battled Cilan. This time however, he and Serperior managed to defeat [[Cilan's Crustle]] with a {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, qualifying for the final. In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Trip battled Ash in the finals and won, winning the tournament in the process. In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Trip battled Alder and his Bouffalant with his Serperior in the prize match, but despite his strategy to attack Bouffalant's weak spot, they were defeated. After the battle, he is given a speech by Alder about deciding his own path with his Pokémon, and promised to battle him again when the time came.

He reappeared in [[BW103]] and [[BW104]]. He had traveled to [[Vertress City]] to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]] and met up with Ash and Ash's other rivals in [[Unova]]. During the match-up process it was revealed he would battle Ash in the first round of the competition. However, here he was not arrogant as in past meetings. Trip used his Serperior against Ash's Pikachu, but Pikachu managed to defeat Serperior, eliminating Trip from the League and apparently ending his rivalry with Ash.

Despite having just started out as a Trainer, Trip already implements many strategies in his battling. He has defeated Ash in all but two of their battles (the former which they tied, and the latter in which Ash won), despite Ash being a much more experienced Trainer. However, he is less forgiving than Ash and takes losses harder. An instance of this is, when he lost to Cilan, he took a photo of Cilan and {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble}}. When Cilan asked him why he was doing that, Trip replied that he was recording this moment so that he would remember his frustration. Trip also actively insults and is at most as mature as Ash, as shown when he elbowed Ash (and Ash did the same) for the attention of Champion Alder.

As a result of meeting Alder as a child and the promise he was given by him, Trip viewed strength as the most important thing to accomplishing his goals. As such, he deemed any activities that wouldn't increase his strength as unnecessary as seen when he left after his losses in the Club Battle and the Clubsplosion, also when he refused to battle Ash on multiple occasions. After his reunion with Alder and his disappointment at Alder's aloofness, Trip began to seek out his own path to beating Alder and becoming champion. During the Junior Cup, Trip had shown a heighten amount of confidence in his own abilities to the point of arrogance, believing he could defeat both Alder and [[Cynthia]]. Though after losing to Alder he began to realize the error in his views, as such he had a change in his attitude. This can be seen in [[BW103]] when he greets Ash and his friends with a more friendly approach than before and his change in attitude was noticed by the other characters such as Cilan and Iris. Despite his change in attitude he still maintains his distance and prefers not to interact with the other rivals.
