I love this bit here because literally everyone else eats with either a human friend (yes, Langley and Cabernet are friends even if all they do is gossip and squabble) or a Pokemon partner or both, but Shootie... just sits completely alone. It's very deliberate and I really like this little detail.

Aside from Vanipeti (Vanillite), who Trip's actually shown talking with and even chiding Iris for possibly hurting its feelings by being afraid of all Ice types, Shootie's hardly shown talking to or interacting with his Pokemon outside of the context of training or battling until after Adeku (Alder) gives him the answers he sought--the answer was mostly that strength was something he and his Pokemon would have to define for themselves, but in the Champion's opinion, he believed trust to be much more important and could sense Shootie's Jalorda loved him. "Are you living up to this little one's feelings?" "I think I am..."

After the talk, when Shootie reacts with an exasperated smile at having his name forgotten, rather than becoming very upset (he's accepted Adeku can't remember it), Jalorda's shown reacting more and mirroring Shootie's expressions. Of course, this is also where he starts being nicer to Satoshi and everyone else!

(Something else really cute, but only in the comic version and not the anime, is Jalorda smiling happily when Satoshi and Shootie shake hands at the league. ;3;)

We're later actually shown Shootie in the Te wo Tsunagou ending taking pictures, with Jalorda by his side. I definitely think it was meant to show him getting closer with his Pokemon after that, just as we're shown afterwards, Shootie no longer being rude or mean to Satoshi or rejecting his attempts friendship. ^^

So, all of these were definitely (misguided) attempts to focus only on becoming stronger. This little bio from the visual guide also supports that, claiming Trip avoids friendship because he believes it interferes with personal growth and ties it to his favouring pragmatic, logical approaches, unclouded by emotion.

I think it might also be worth noting that the flashback with Adeku showed Shootie was very, very shy and timid when he was younger. He's scared of approaching Buffron (Bouffalant), even though he admires Adeku and has watched it battle so many times on-screen. I feel like the hesitation around Buffron and how he hesitates to accept Satoshi's handshake are related and at his core, Shootie is still very shy. It's just masked well with all that arrogance, ffff.

Even long before the Junior Cup and his very-much-needed conversation with Adeku (Alder), we see how much his Pokemon care for him. Roubushin (Conkelderr) menaces Satoshi (of its own will!) when he raises his voice and steps closer to Shootie (because Shootie was antagonizing him, mind!), so Shootie quickly recalls it (as he doesn't want it menacing him, Roubushin did that of its own accord!)...

There's also this otherwise very dramatic pan shot from earlier in the Junior Cup where despite looking all dramatic and serious, Jalorda's coiling around Shootie... Shootie's as unaffectionate as ever, but Jalorda's body language shows how protective and affectionate it is. ;3;

It's not the same as Shinji, where he was cold and distant and at times abusive (mainly Hikozaru, with the Zangoose incident in the Tag Battle where Shinji literally tried to trigger Blaze by sending Hikozaru against a Zangoose, intentionally recreating a traumatic incident that he saw Hikozaru activate Blaze while fighting for its life against Zangoose + compare & contrast: Shootie's never shown intentionally abusing any of his Pokemon and won't even take advantage of his opponent's Pokemon's phobia in battle; he only informs Satoshi so he can help Mijumaru [Oshawott] overcome it), but Shootie is cold and distant in a self-isolating way, although he possesses kindness, he's just... very, very cold, harsh, and tries to shut everyone else out. His reaction to kindness is, effectively, to shut it down and call it unnecessary or pointless, yet he also returns it.

Returning to the above scene, when Shootie's finished eating, Satoshi even tries to be friendly and talk to him, but (as usual, at this point in the series) his attempts at friendship are rejected, because anything that doesn't serve Shootie's pursuit of strength is brushed aside--however, he does return the kindness in his own very rude and very blunt sort of way, by helping pinpoint a weak point Satoshi could focus on improving, for the second time (the first time being when he noticed Mijumaru [Oshawott]'s closed eyes during the failed Aqua Jet.)

He's a jerk about it, but it's true [it tends to miss its mark], so Satoshi does indeed focus on training it, he just says it in the rudest way possible and even calls the move worthless, angering Satoshi, PFFT.

So, on one hand, Shootie's a jerk for various reasons likely relating to upbringing (classism in looking down on Satoshi for his rural background, for instance, and a general xenophobia), a misguided sense of what makes one strong—and on the other, he's likely still just as shy and his social skills have hardly improved since then, made worse by his single-minded pursuit of strength and shutting everyone else out.

It's also so sweet to me that Satoshi never let the things he said really get to him and also kept trying to understand him and make friends with him... I feel like meeting Shinji (Paul) first gave him a lot more patience and a much thicker skin.

My obsession with Trip really goes way back huh

Welcome to: Owl exposes their art evolution through their many itterations of Trip from Pokémon Best Wishes!

It all started circa 2011. Unfortunately, only one drawing featuring Trip survived the intense purge of any art from this dark period of my life. All I can tell you is that I also drew in 2011 a full on comic about him and you'll have to believe me on that one.

My very first digital art, in 2013, was also representing Trip with a random OC of mine (I think her name was Evangeline or something to that effect). I actually posted it years ago on a Pokémon Forum. Yeah, didn't get a whole lot of love. It is to note that this one is the SECOND drawing I made digitally of Trip. The first one is most likely still sieging in my father's old laptop. Fun fact, this was drawn on Paint.NET using a mousepad. I also found in a sketchbook another one I drew during this time period, this time with some other characters. It's kinda wild how my artstyle was fluctuating at the time.

I then came back to drawing mostly traditionally. I got a bunch of blank sketchpads in 2014 at an art store and instantly got to work and drew the entire cast of Best Wishes for some odd reason. I also found another one. While it's undated, I'm assuming it's from the same timeperiod because of the artstyle. Gosh I liked drawing twink bodies for men huh? That... contrasts a lot with the amount of JoJo looking characters I like to draw these days.

I found some odd sketches from 2015 here and there. It's mostly a try at a realistic portrait and a sketch I made with ink. I remember being very proud of those two when I first made them. I have no clue who this other character with him is meant to be though. Maybe it's still Evangeline or something. Really goes to show how much I changed my view on dynamics and such I suppose. I called it "Rolling Trainer" cause I am a genius who got way into Vocaloid in middleschool.

Next is 2016. It was lodged in a very short sketchbook I used during an internship. I LOVED oniisuu's art style and tried to do chibis like them a LOT. Also I left in the text so that we can all appreciate the cringe :DD As you can see, I sort of thought my obsession for Trip was just hate for some reason since I really didn't like Best Wishes? Like don't get me wrong, there are a LOT of things wrong with Best Wishes but with age I realized that the reason I was so angry at how it was handled was because I loved the characters and thought they deserved better treatment. So it's kind of funny to look back and see how I just genuinely thought I hated this random minor character when I'd draw him pretty much all the time.

After that, I think I took a pretty big break or just lost most of my art of him because the next I found was in 2019. It has a very self aware note next to one of the drawings and the next one has an ink illustration. We can really see how my proportions improved over the years and how my style became more defined, going more towards "semi-realistic". I personally like the shortcut on the arm. I don't think I used a reference so that makes it pretty nice honestly. Also, as you can see, that's when I started drawing Trip with his hair going a bit up for his fringe. I have NO clue why I've been doing this since recently even though it's NOT in his design but it's there.

I found another art made, I think, in 2020 this time. I had been drawing pokémon falling down for a fabric pattern and just drew every pokémon I liked from each generation, a pretty nifty thing I might show in its entirety as it spans over 10 pages or so, and I drew some trainer characters for each gen. And of course, y'all know who I drew for gen 5. I love how my note next to him is just so tired with living. I also redrew the above illustration with watercolors. Doesn't look great but eh.

I also did a redraw of one of my earlier digital art (2013) this time kinda showcasing what I like to do in term of dynamics these days. So huh prepare thyselves for 17 year olds Trip and Eva.

Buff women. Anyways, I got some small digital sketches for 2021, nothing special I never completed them. I might finish the one on the right because I genuinely like the dynamism behind it, how flowy it is, the perspective and also one of my old hc that his hoody has no sleeves.

And finally, the moment we've all waited for, 2022. I am currently 21 and this monster still has not left my head. He's here to stay so I might as well embrace it and return to my good old brain rot. It kinda all came back when I just doodled him on the back of a receipt as stupid as it is, and really, that's a good summary of the kinda place I usually draw Trip on. He always comes back, unannounced, into my life and I draw him randomly onto any surface available.

I hope you found this dive into my art journey motivational or just funny or something. One thing is sure: I'm not stopping drawing Trip. He's been living rent free in my brain for 11 years, at this point, he's staying, it's too expensive to try to evict him, I tried. So huh, if ya want more Trip content I guess follow my blog??? I'm currently making a sprite replacer for BW to turn the MC into Trip and maybe might do a sprite replacer for BW2 as well (though that'd mean redrawing all the costumes at Pokéwood... UUGHHGHGHGHHSDGHDFJSDGfyzeggf) and I also like to shitpost about him and write stupid fanfics about him sometimes so don't hesitate. I'll see you all later, take care of yourselves!!
