Trip tends to think very little of the [[Kanto]] region—which he refers to as "the {{wp|Boondocks|boonies}}"—and anyone from there. He thinks of Ash as a {{wp|hillbilly}} who needs to go back to the basics of Pokémon training. However, he will help him out once in a while, as seen when he informed Ash that {{AP|Oshawott}}'s {{m|Aqua Jet}} was uncontrollable because Oshawott had his eyes closed. | Trip tends to think very little of the [[Kanto]] region—which he refers to as "the {{wp|Boondocks|boonies}}"—and anyone from there.

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. | Despite having just started out as a Trainer, Trip already implements many strategies in his battling.

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 heightened amount of confidence in his own abilities to the point of arrogance, believing he could defeat both Alder and [[Cynthia]]. However, after losing to Alder, he began to realize the error in his views, and as such, he had a change in his attitude. This can be seen in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', when he greets Ash and his friends with a more friendly approach than before, with his change in attitude being noticed by the other characters such as Cilan and Iris. Along with his newer persona, he showed a genuine interest in battling Ash, and along with that ceased his past tendencies of mocking him. Despite his change in attitude, he still maintains his distance and prefers not to interact with the other rivals. | 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.
