Wow. You just want to keep making Trip looking even more like a fool don't you? The writers are probably not going to let Trip keep taking hits from everyone especially Ash after all those beats from before. How about letting The Film Nerd(Luke) take some hits?
Considering he has got pwned by Cilan in the last don battle, and now lost to Bianca, he does seem weaker then he was in episode 10.
Although I don't particularly like Trip, he is supposed to be the main rival, not the character who everyone takes turns beating to make others seem stronger.
Though I do foresee that if Ash battles him again, it will be one-sided and not in Ash's favor.
That said, I think Conkeldurr is going to be like Paul's Ursaring. Both have guts and both have lost a considerable amount of time. I don't know exactly how much Ursaring has lost on screen but it's at least 3-4 times.
Although I am annoyed Ash lost to a CotD rather then one of the rivals, who actually matter, I am more happy that Bianca did not win the tournament, or even get to the finals.
Just goes to show that just because she beats Georgia and Trip don't mean she cannot be brought down a peg. I was a bit annoyed how Bianca never showed such competence in her other battles and got sweep by Elesa, yet comes and beat both Georgia and Trip. Granted the former had a huge type disadvantage and the latter used arguably one of his weaker pokemon.
But because she beat Georgia and Trip, I cannot wait to see how much more capable she could get. You never know, she could end up winning the Unova League...
