Personality: While traveling to take on the Unova League, Trip takes photographs of Pokรฉmon that he encounters and is also known as a Pokรฉmon Photographer. Unlike Paul (Ash Ketchum's previous arch-rival), Trip cares for his Pokรฉmon and does not consider them tools, but he prioritizes becoming a strong trainer, similar to Cheren from the games and he is quite obnoxious, much like Gary Oak. The main reason he took a dislike to Ash is because of his training style and more outgoing personality, whereas Trip tended to mostly keep to himself. He is not as cocky as Gary or as harsh as Paul, but he had a strong dislike towards Ash. However, before running into Alder, they were shown to have at least something resembling mutual respect. Unlike Gary, who enjoyed picking on Ash, and Paul, who outright hated his guts, Trip saw Ash as an annoyance but was occasionally willing to help him out, such as when he showed him how Oshawott could not land Aqua Jet because its eyes were closed. Trip is bound to learn that becoming the champion does not depend on just becoming strong. His goal was to become the next Pokรฉmon Champion of the Unova region, but was defeated by Ash in the first round of the Unova League. Trip is somewhat xenophobic, as he does not think very highly of the Kanto region โ or anyone from there. He thinks of anyone from Kanto as a redneck from "the boonies" who should go back to the basics of Pokรฉmon. Trip mellowed out considerably after his battle with Alder. Realizing that he was not a high-level trainer as he thought he was, he (mostly) ceased belittling people he saw as beneath him. When he left the Junior Cup, he expressed a genuine interest in battling Ash at the forthcoming Unova League. After losing to Ash at the league, he dropped any disdain he still had for Ash and they now consider each other friends.
