Trip (Japanese: Shooty) is a trainer from Nuvema Town in the Unova region. He is Ash first and main BW rival.

Character
Trip is a mature, unfriendly, and sometimes commentive person. He uses strategies and different battle styles for all his Pokemon, including his Serperior.

As a Child
He was inspired to become a Pokemon Trainer after seeing his idol Alder, the Unova League Champion, battle and defeat an opponent. Because of the Champion's promise to him, Trip has spent his time trying to become the strongest.
