[Trip notices Pikachu and takes a few pictures of it with his camera]
TTrip
This is why we don't like people from the boonies. Listen up, a Pikachu in Unova's huge, it's a really big deal.
It's not a big deal. Pikachu's my number one partner and buddy.
Hi! I'm Ash Ketchum. Will you have a battle with me?
TTrip
HEY, COOL YOUR JETS! ALDER'S BATTLING ME FIRST!
IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
[Ash and Trip struggle on who will battle Alder first]
The price of things. Now, just relax. I'll battle both of you!
[Later, at Ambiga Town's Pokémon Centre, everyone is having lunch, including Ash and his friends. Then, Burgundy speaks]
I'm OK, at least I didn't lost to you-know-who. Cilan, next time we battle, watch out - I'll win before you know what hit you. And stop with those boring remarks.
Relax, Burgundy. I look forward to watching you get stronger.
And as for you, Iris - next time you're going down.
Not so fast! The only trainer who's going to beat Iris is me.
Excuse me, but you have to get through the first round first.
[Meanwhile, Ash smiles, but then he sees Trip who has just finished eating his own meal]
Hey, Trip. Done eating? Aren't you battling Bianca?
TTrip
I suggest you worry about your own battles and not mine.
TTrip
Take your Scraggy. [A flashback with Scraggy using Focus Blast plays] Scraggy seems to have learned Focus Blast, but it's obvious you can't depend on it. [The flashback ends] It needs to be more accurate. To be blunt, it's low-class.
What?! Hey, Trip, hold on. Ugh! [Turns to Scraggy] Scraggy, I want to see your Focus Blast again.
SScraggy
Scraggy. [Ok, then.]
TTrip
I didn't stand a chance against you. Won't you please tell me what I did wrong in our battle? I must have been lacking something.
You really didn't do anything wrong. You weren't lacking anything. [Except experience]
TTrip
But you beat me. You kept me from showing how strong I've become.
So what if I did? Thinking back, you asked me the same thing a while ago. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but do you have any admiration for a man like me? Winning, losing, strength, weakness, in the end, your Pokémon will determine all that. There is no easy answer to what you ask. But if I have to choose one thing, I'd say look at all you've learned from the day you started on your journey right up to today. That may be the answer you seek.
TTrip
Everything I learned...
[Note: This loss was to remind fans that while Trip is a skilled trainer, he is very inexperienced. Trip represents a trainer who thinks that defeating a Champion is easy in real life like in the video games but not realizing there is a difference between video games and reality.]
Alder's amazing, don't you think?
TTrip
Yeah, he's something, all right. I'm really glad I was able to battle him.
So, we'll see you at the Unova League, won't we?
[Ash, Iris, Cilan, Bianca, Stephan and Virgil head to the Pokémon Center to register. Trip is also heading to the Pokémon Center to register as well]
TTrip
So, that means you've got eight gym badges too?
