** Trip tells Ash he doesn't have time to wait around in Castelia City when it would only take a day to get the Venipede situation under control. This could mean that he wasn't supposed to leave on his journey and staying in one place could result in his parents finding and dragging him back home.

[[WMG: Ash will trade his [[spoiler: Roggenola that hopefully evolves into Boldore with Trip's Gurdurr.]]]]
If the game mechanic is followed once, then this could be possible. It would also be a call back with Zoey suggesting that Ash trade his Aipom with Dawn's Buizel only with someone like Cilan suggesting that they trade. This could also be subverted too as the minute they trade, they want their Pokemon at the end of the episode and end up receiving the final evolution of said Pokemon they originally traded.

The new season reeks of pandering to the fanbase. What better way than giving [[FlatCharacter Tobias]] ''purpose''? It would serve as an apology of sorts by the writers. My thoughts are this: it will be revealed the Tobias serves as a group of legendary trainers/Aura Guardians dedicated to defending Unova. Tobias serves as a successful member,and ThePowersThatBe foresaw they would need the help of a fellow Aura user: Ash Ketchum. So they gave him a bred Latios and Darkrai to serve as a test to find strong enough Aura Guardians. Thus, his appearance in the Sinnoh Leauge was a BatmanGambit: to find an Aura Guardian. The defeat of the two legendaries proved Ash was the one.

The whole Sinnoh Leauge thing was a XanatosGambit, so that he could gain more information about Sinnoh-ultimately, this info will help Giovanni take over Sinnoh along with the rest of the world. It could also be to study Ash and his possible connection to the Unova legendaries (he is the ChosenOne, after all.) And as a ContinuityNod, Pierce would note Ash as the reason why Jessie, James and Meowth have become the abysmal failures they are today (yes, before they met Ash they were skilled.) Revealing this information has made the trio become DangerouslyGenreSavvy. As to why Pierce has legendaries.

This comes from Trip's team. When Ash meets Trip a second time, he claims that he already has two badges as well as having six Pokemon. However, when you look at his team, it's impossible to get some Pokemon like his Frillish or Lampent at that point in the game. This makes this troper think that Trip originally lived in one of these two towns and already captured them before he got his starter. Frillish can easily be caught in Driftveil via surfing in that area. Tranquil can also be caught on Route 6. As for his [[spoiler: Lampent]], since the two cities is a route and a cave away with the tower past Mistralton City.

** To continue from this guess, this troper thinks that Trip has {{abusive parents}}. This stems from a few hints given in his appearance.
*** He gets mad at Iris when he's called a "kid" or being "childish". This can be interpreted as his parents telling him that being a trainer is a [[SillyRabbitIdealismisForKids childish dream.]]
*** Trip tells Ash he doesn't have time to wait around in Castelia City when it would only take a day to get the Venipede situation under control. This could mean that he wasn't supposed to leave on his journey and staying in one place could result in his parents finding and dragging him back home.
*** In the recent episode, Trip is shown as a child to adore Pokemon and the Champion Alder. You notice that his parents aren't around when he tells Alder that he's going to be a trainer. He's also shown to be a {{Cheerful Child}} as a kid. Alder tells him he'll be waiting for him to grow up and be a trainer. At the start of the series, he's no longer smiling like he was in the past. Something tells this troper that his parents didn't take him becoming a trainer well and he had to take extremes in order to become one like [[TheRunaway running away from home]] but the result [[BrokenBird made him come out as cynical.]]
*** His camera. He takes pictures of everything whenever he appears in an episode. He tells Ash he's recording his journey, but maybe he's doing that because he's scared that if he's caught by his parents, he won't be able to continue his journey anymore and is keeping his camera to remember his journey by.
*** Finally, one of the themes in Pokemon Black and White is how the parents are involved with the children of the series and how they affect them. Bianca for example has an {{overprotective dad}} that would not let her go on her journey. She almost was dragged back home but Elise intervene. There's also N who [[spoiler: has his {{complete monster}} father Ghetsis.

Tobias serves as a sucsessful member,and ThePowersThatBe foresaw they would need the help of a fellow Aura user:Ash user: Ash Ketchum.So they gave him a bred Latios and Darkrai,to serve as a test to find strong enough Aura guardians.Thus,his Thus, his apperance in the Sinnoh Leauge was a BatmanGambit:to BatmanGambit: to find an Aura Guardian.Guardian. The defeat of the two legendaries proved Ash was the one.

* Or Ash gets second place, because he lost to N. With the championship, N will be able to summon Reshiram/Zekrom/both

[[WMG: Tobias is Pierce in disguise.]]
The whole Sinnoh Leauge thing was a XanatosGambit, so that he could gain more information about Sinnoh-ultimately, this info will help Giovanni take over Sinnoh along with the rest of the world. It could also be to study Ash and his possible connection to the Unova legendaries(he is the ChosenOne, after all.) And as a ContinuityNod, Pierce would note Ash as the reason why Jessie, James and Meowth have become the abysmal failures they are today(yes, before they met Ash they were skilled.) Revealing this information has made the trio become DangerouslyGenreSavvy. As to why Pierce has legendaries
* He's a high-ranking operative, and TR probably have stolen a few legends in their time
* He's voiced by DANGREEN!

* Think about it- when was the last time he won a league match to decide a championship? No, there was a time- He defeated Drake in the Orange Islands saga. Back in season two. Does anyone remember the Orange Islands? No, it was a filler arc over ten years ago. Shortly after, Ash has his run-in with Casey where Brock and Misty root for her instead of him. Why? He's not an underdog anymore. Ash decides then that he can't get attention and support unless he loses battles he should be capable of sweeping without blinking. Because of this, he intentionally de-levels Pikachu between seasons using the Bad Seeds from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Okay, sure, he won the Battle Frontier championship, but the point stands- no one cares about his two wins, everyone gripes about how he loses to Person We Don't Care About #7.

*** Finally, one of the themes in Pokemon Black and White is how the parents are involved with the children of the series and how they affect them. Bianca for example has an {{overprotective dad}} that would not let her go on her journey. She almost was dragged back home but Elise intervene. There's also N who [[spoiler: has his {{complete monster}} father Ghetsis. Just knowing what Ghetsis did shows how bad a parent can affect their child.]] Since some themes from Black and White are sliding into the anime, it wouldn't be a surprise if Trip's parents are mentally abusive of him [[BreaktheCutie that lead him to be]] [[{{Kuudere}} reserved and keeps everything to himself]] instead of [[ThePowerofFriendship opening up to Ash and co]] when they have tried to befriend him.

And even though the anime says he's from Nuvema Town, if the theory of the bottom is used, then he might have been living there temporary so he could get his journey started.

Compared to Paul who didn't have [[DisproportionateRetribution any excuse for his actions]], this Troper hopes that Trip will have some backstory on why he's a jerk toward Ash. Alternatively there will be [[HiddenDepths more to his character]] than he lets on.

**To continue from this guess, this troper thinks that Trip has {{abusive parents}}. This stems from a few hints given in his appearance.
*** He gets mad at Iris when he's called a "kid" or being "childish". This can be interpreted as his parents telling him that being a trainer is a [[SillyRabbitIdealismisForKids childish dream.]]
*** Trip tells Ash he doesn't have time to wait around in Castelia City when it would only take a day to get the Venipede situation under control. This could mean that he wasn't supposed to leave on his journey and staying in one place could result in his parents finding and dragging him back home.
*** In the recent episode, Trip is shown as a child to adore Pokemon and the Champion Alder. You notice that his parents aren't around when he tells Alder that he's going to be a trainer. He's also shown to be a {{Cheerful Child}} as a kid. Alder tells him he'll be waiting for him to grow up and be a trainer. At the start of the series, he's no longer smiling like he was in the past. Something tells this troper that his parents didn't take him becoming a trainer well and he had to take extremes in order to become one like [[TheRunaway running away from home]] but the result [[BrokenBird made him come out as cynical.]]
*** His camera. He takes pictures of everything whenever he appears in an episode. He tells Ash he's recording his journey, but maybe he's doing that because he's scared that if he's caught by his parents, he won't be able to continue his journey anymore and is keeping his camera to remember his journey by.

Also, since Driftveil City is known for it's ocean and market place and most of his Pokemon are ocean themed (Tranquil, Frillish [[spoiler: Vanilite in the sense of being able to use water moves]]. Finally, since you can apparently buy anything at the market place, this troper wouldn't be surprised if he bought his camera here.

[[WMG: Trip's hometown is Driftveil City]]
This comes from Trip's team. When Ash meets Trip a second time, he claims that he already has two badges as well as having six Pokemon. However, when you look at his team, it's impossible to get some Pokemon like his Frillish or Lampent at that point in the game. This makes this troper think that Trip originally lived in one of these two towns and already captured them before he got his starter. Frillish can easily be caught in Driftveil via surfing in that area. Tranquil can also be caught on Route 6. As for his [[spoiler: Lampent]], since the two cities is a route and a cave away with the tower past Mistralton City.

Then there's the fact that Trip's other two Pokemon are revealed to be [[spoiler: Vanillite and Timburr]]. Those two Pokemon can be caught in the Cold Storage area. If that's the case then it could very well be his hometown.

Also, since Driftveil City is known for it's ocean and market place and most of his Pokemon are ocean themed (Tranquil, Frillish [[spoiler: Vanilite in the sense of being able to use water moves]].
