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. Afterwards, Alder offered a few words of advice, with this experience in turn inspiring Trip to work hard and train to become a Champion. As such, Trip grew up idolizing Alder and held him in high regard. | As a young child, Trip became inspired to be a Pokémon Trainer after watching [[Alder]] battle.

After meeting with [[Professor Juniper]], he chose {{TP|Trip|Snivy}} as his new partner. He took a dislike to [[Ash Ketchum]] after learning he was from Kanto, a region Trip did not think very highly of. On his way out of the lab, he challenged Ash to a Pokémon battle. He had much interest in battling {{AP|Pikachu}}, a species that is foreign in his region. Because Pikachu could not use any {{type|Electric}} moves at the time, it was easily defeated by the Snivy. Trip left Nuvema Town to begin his journey, rudely telling Ash to go back to the basics. | ||

Trip appeared again at the [[Luxuria Town]] [[Battle Club]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]'', where he and Ash had a five-on-five battle, although Trip initially offered to have a [[Full Battle]] with Ash. His Tranquill defeated [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}} in just two hits with its {{a|Super Luck}}-boosted {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but lost to Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu was defeated by {{TP|Trip|Servine}} again. {{AP|Snivy}} defeated Trip's Servine by using {{m|Attract}}. Trip's Frillish later defeated {{AP|Pidove}} and Snivy, after making use of its [[Ability]] and {{stat|speed}}, causing Ash to lose the battle.

Trip reappeared in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', where he registered himself to compete in the [[Clubsplosion]]. He planned to compete with his newly-evolved {{TP|Trip|Conkeldurr}} and his opponent in the first round was revealed to be {{an|Bianca}}, who he considered to be just practice. He then battled her and her {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}} in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]''. Though he and Conkeldurr put up a strong fight, he lost to her in [[BW072|the next episode]]. Like he did after his loss in the Club Battle, he left [[Ambiga Town]] that night rather than staying and watching the rest of the tournament. | Trip reappeared in ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', where he registered himself to compete in the [[Clubsplosion]].

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 by utilizing a combination of Leer and SolarBeam and advanced to the second round. In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Trip advanced 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 them for the final match against Ash. In ''[[BW092|Ash, Iris and Trip: Then There Were Three!]]'', Trip battled Ash in the finals, using his Serperior against Ash's Pignite. Despite the type advantage and Ash's strategy to boost his own speed with Flame Charge, Serperior maintained the speed advantage. This allowed it to make quick work of Pignite, swiftly defeating it with a powerful Frenzy Plant, winning Trip 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 lower Bouffalant's guard while also attacking its weak spot, they were defeated in a single hit. 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. Afterwards Trip would meet up with Ash and his friends following the tournament, after a brief conversation he and Ash promised to meet with one another at Unova's {{pkmn|League Conference}}. | He appeared again in ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'' in order to participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]].

He reappeared in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' and ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. 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 and instead showed a genuine interest in battling with Ash once more. Trip used his Serperior against Ash's Pikachu, at first Pikachu unleashed a barrage of its attacks with Serperior simply avoiding every one of them with relative ease. In retaliation Serperior would unleash a devastating Dragon Tail before following with a barrage of its own techniques culminating in a Wrap attack, cornering Ash and Pikachu. But in spite of these efforts Pikachu managed to defeat Serperior, much to Trip's astonishment and disbelief, with a combination of its Electro Ball and Iron Tail, eliminating Trip from the Conference. After the battle, Trip would have one last conversation with Ash, before they ended their rivalry and became friends. Following this, Trip then left the Vertress Conference to continue his {{pkmn|journey}}. | He reappeared in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'' and ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''.
