Trip (Japanese: シューティー Shooty) is a Pokémon Trainer from the Unova region and a rival of Ash.
History
As a young child, Trip became inspired to be a Pokémon Trainer after watching Alder battle. He later met the Champion, who would let him pet and feed the Bouffalant Alder was battling with. This experience inspired him to work hard and train to become Champion. As such, Trip idolizes Alder and has great respect for him.
Trip was introduced in In The Shadow of Zekrom! as a beginning Trainer ready to choose his first Pokémon. After meeting with Professor Juniper, he chose Snivy as his new partner. Shortly after obtaining it, he challenged Ash Ketchum to a Pokémon battle. He had much interest in battling Pikachu, a species that is foreign in his region. Because Pikachu could not use any Electric-type moves at the time, Trip easily defeated Ash.
Trip appeared again at a Battle Club in 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 Super Luck-boosted Aerial Ace, but lost to Ash's Pikachu. Pikachu was defeated by Servine again. Ash's Snivy defeated Trip's Servine by using Attract. Trip's Frillish later defeated Pidove and Snivy, causing Ash to lose the battle. Afterwards, Trip called Ash's Pikachu and Snivy "okay", but called the rest of Ash's team a joke.
Trip reappeared in BW022, where he was training in Castelia City when a swarm of Venipede suddenly attacked. He used his Lampent to try and 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 Shadow Ball, but Ash blocked the attack. Again, Burgh told him that he was going about it the wrong way, so he stopped. Trip then used Tranquill to help coax out the remaining Venipede and lead them safely out of the city.
Trip appeared again in BW034, along with his Vanillite and Timburr, where he battled Ash. The battle ended in a tie after Servine defeated Snivy, Vanillite tied with Tepig and Oshawott defeated Timburr.
Character
Trip is a Pokémon photographer, in which he takes photos of Pokémon and places with a green digital camera. He also has an Xtransceiver so that he can keep in touch with the Battle Clubs. Overall, he is a well-reserved individual who tends to keep his feelings to himself. But he expressed his emotions like Ash does now when he was younger. His strategy is all about planning ahead and completing the basics of Pokémon Training.
Trip tends to think very little of the Kanto region, which he refers to as "the boonies", and anyone from there. He thinks of Ash as a hillbilly who needs to go back to the basics of Pokémon Training. But he will help him out once in a while, as seen when he informed Ash that Oshawott's Aqua Jet was uncontrollable because he had his eyes closed.
Despite having just started out as a Trainer, Trip already implements many strategies in his battling. He has defeated Ash two times that they have battled and tied in the third, despite Ash being a much more experienced Trainer.
