[[File:BarryPalmer.png|left|thumb|250px|Barry and Palmer]]
===Pre-series===
He was shown to have a very hyperactive personality, much like {{ga|Barry|his game counterpart}}. Barry admires [[Paul]] and his {{pkmn|training}} methods, and wants to be a strong {{pkmn|Trainer}} like him. He also has a slightly similar mentality as Paul's, as in {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} strong [[Pokémon]] for training. However, unlike Paul, he still cares for his Pokémon. Barry's starter Pokémon is thought to have been a {{p|Piplup}} which has since evolved into an {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}}.
[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|thumb|left|250px|Barry at the beginning of his journey]]
Before leaving for his {{pkmn|journey}}, Barry had always participated in the [[Twinleaf Festival]]s, in one of which he sang a duet with {{an|Dawn}}.
 
Eventually, Barry became a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and he was able to capture soon a {{p|Heracross}} and, with a lot of effort, Barry to pass three [[Gym]]s, managing to beat [[Byron]] and [[Gardenia]], the latter being won in a hard battle of his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} against a powerful {{TP|James|Cacnea}} that made him need to teach Empoleon the move {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to have a chance to win the battle.
 
One day, during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], Barry was quite in awe of [[Paul]]'s performance at the event.
 
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Barry debuted in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where he intended to challenge [[Fantina]] for a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, but he instead met {{Ash}} at the door of the [[Hearthome Gym]]. He challenged Ash to a battle to prove his {{pkmn|training}} methods wrong, but Ash came out as the victor. Afterwards, Barry stayed to watch Ash challenge Fantina in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]''. At times, he was skeptical about Ash's strategy in the battle, but by the end of the fight, he realized that his techniques were excellent. He later stated that he would be his [[rival]] if Ash could defeat [[Byron]], whom Barry had previously beaten.
[[File:Barry and Palmer.png|thumb|250px|Barry and Palmer]]
After staying with the group for [[DP103|the following episode]], he departed to train at [[Iron Island]], but appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' at Iron Island, where after being caught up in [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to use the island as a radar to scan for the [[Spear Pillar]] he and Ash put aside most of their differences and became friendly rivals.


{{an|Dawn}} knew Barry back when they both lived in [[Twinleaf Town]]; however, Barry doesn't remember her. He only recognizes Ash, Brock, and Dawn due to the fact that they participated in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] with Paul. He then challenged Ash to a battle to prove his training methods wrong, but Ash came out the victor.  
In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', Barry announced his plans of entering the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] and invited the group to join the competition. Later, when [[Dawn's Piplup]] fled the [[Pokémon Center]], he helped to search for him. It was also revealed in this episode that he is good friends with {{an|Dawn}}'s rival, {{si|Kenny}}. He reappeared in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'', in which he watched Dawn and Kenny participate in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and shared with Ash and {{an|Brock}} that it was his first time watching a Pokémon Contest live.


After Ash defeated him, Barry stayed to watch Ash challenge [[Fantina]] in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist!]]''. At times, Barry was skeptical about Ash's strategy in the battle, but by the end of the fight, he realized that his techniques were excellent. He later stated that he would be his rival if Ash could defeat [[Byron]], whom Barry had previously beaten.
In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', Barry entered the Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament with {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} as his partner Pokémon. He made it to the quarterfinals, where he lost to famous {{wp|Table tennis|ping pong}} player [[O]].


After staying with the group for [[DP103|the following episode]], he departed to train at [[Iron Island]], but appeared again in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' and ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'' at [[Iron Island]], where after being caught up in [[Team Galactic]]'s plot to use the island as a radar to scan for [[Spear Pillar]] he and Ash put aside most of their differences and became friendly rivals. He also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'' where he wanted to enter the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]], which he later loses in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''. It is also revealed that he is good friends with Dawn's rival, {{si|Kenny}}. He also appeared in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]'' watching Dawn and Kenny participate in the {{pkmn|Contest}} held in [[Sandalstraw Town]].
He returned home for the annual [[Twinleaf Festival]]. In ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', Barry decided to have a battle with Ash, but he became side-tracked when he spotted a familiar {{p|Xatu}}. Ash, Dawn and Barry were all transported to [[Xatu's Forest]], an odd [[dimension]] that enabled them to each relive one of their earliest memories; in Barry's case it was how he met his {{p|Heracross}}. After returning, he bumped into his father, [[Palmer]]. In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', he entered the [[Festival Battle Challenge]] as part of the Twinleaf Festival in the hope that he would get to battle Palmer, but lost to Ash. At the end of the Festival, Barry decided to travel alone to get the [[Sunyshore City]] [[Badge]].
[[File:Ash and Barry.png|thumb|left|250px|Barry and Ash]]
In ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', Barry battled Ash and his newly-{{pkmn2|caught}} {{AP|Gible}}. Barry won his first battle against Ash, but Ash didn't take it harshly, praising Gible anyway and instructing it to listen next time. Barry celebrated his win as he held up his ticket to challenge Fantina, but Gible bit his hand and ate the ticket.
[[File:Barry and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Barry and Paul]]
In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Barry revealed that he had acquired all the necessary Badges to compete in [[Sinnoh]]'s {{pkmn|League Conference}}. He met [[Paul]] for the first time and challenged him to a battle, but to his dismay, Paul refused and suggested he battle Ash instead. Barry initially said Ash was not at his level since Ash was still one Badge away from the [[Sinnoh League]], but later agreed to battle him. He chose his Empoleon to face off against [[Ash's Monferno]]. However, the battle was put on hold when {{TRT}} attacked.


Barry appeared again in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' where he then decided to have a battle with Ash, which was soon interrupted. He bumps into his father, {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} at the end of the episode. In ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]'', he entered the Battle Tournament as part of the [[Twinleaf Festival]] in the hope that he would get to battle Palmer, but soon lost to Ash.  
In ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', Barry showed up for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] where he was seen in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', he passed the preliminary round.  


Barry reappeared in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', where he battled Ash and his newly-caught {{TP|Ash|Gible}}. Barry won the match, giving him his first victory against Ash.
In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', he battled Paul in the third round of the tournament, and even though he put up a strong battle, utilizing two new Pokémon on his team, {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Hitmonlee}}, along with his partner, Empoleon, he ended up falling before the superior strength and tactics of Paul and his team, not knocking out one of Paul's Pokémon in the process, though Paul commented afterwards that it had been a great battle. Barry then stayed and watched Ash's battles with Paul and {{si|Tobias}}, and he parted from the group in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', promising to be reunited with Ash and become as strong as him.


Barry once again appeared in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', along with Paul where he challenged his idol to a battle, but to his dismay, Paul refused. Barry then battled Ash once again, using his Empoleon against Ash's Monferno. However, the battle was put on hold when Team Rocket attacked.
Barry made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.


In [[DP182]], Barry showed up for the [[Suzuran Conference]] where he was seen in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In [[DP183]], he passed the preliminary round.
==Character==
Much like {{ga|Barry|his game counterpart}}, Barry possesses a hyperactive personality that often goes well past impatience. To this end, whenever something or someone gets in his way, annoys him, or causes him any minor inconvenience, Barry will lose his temper and shout for the cause to be fined. This attitude is so recurring and extreme that his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} often shows exasperation at his {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s wild behavior.


In [[DP184]] he battled his idol [[Paul]] in the third round of the [[Suzuran Conference]], and even though he put up a strong battle, utilizing two new Pokémon in his team, Skarmory and Hitmonlee, along with his partner, Empoleon, he ended up falling before the superior strength and tactics of Paul and his team.
Barry admires [[Paul]] and his {{pkmn|training}} methods, and wants to be a strong Trainer like him. He also has a slightly similar mentality as Paul's, such as preferring to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} strong Pokémon for training. However, unlike Paul, he still cares for his Pokémon, praising them for their hard work and showing concern when one of them is injured, such as when Empoleon was afflicted by the sound-waves caused by [[Team Galactic]]'s actions while on [[Iron Island]].

|desc={{p|Heracross}} first appeared in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' on [[Iron Island]] alongside his {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

Heracross was then hit by a Skarmory's {{m|Steel Wing}}, sending them falling onto Team Rocket. Heracross attacked Team Rocket as they were accused to be the ones behind all of this. However, after pointing out the machines located on the island, it turned out that another [[Team Galactic|villainous team]] was the cause. The Galactic's {{p|Golbat}} attacked them with {{m|Air Cutter}} and severely damaged Heracross.

Heracross reappeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' battling [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Heracross was able to withstand Pikachu's attacks and became stronger from the last time.

When they woke up, they got separated and searched for their Pokémon. While Barry was looking for his Heracross, he found a tree. He had a flashback about the time he caught Heracross after slathering [[honey]] on a tree. He did the same thing this time and Heracross came up to Barry and the tree.

Barry (Japanese: ジュン Jun) is a recurring character who appeared in the Pokémon anime. He is a Pokémon Trainer from Twinleaf Town and one of Ash's rivals. He first appeared in Barry's Busting Out All Over!.

History

Pre-series

Barry at the beginning of his journey

Before leaving for his journey, Barry had always participated in the Twinleaf Festivals, in one of which he sang a duet with Dawn.

Eventually, Barry became a Pokémon Trainer and he was able to capture soon a Heracross and, with a lot of effort, Barry to pass three Gyms, managing to beat Byron and Gardenia, the latter being won in a hard battle of his Empoleon against a powerful Cacnea that made him need to teach Empoleon the move Hydro Cannon to have a chance to win the battle.

One day, during the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition, Barry was quite in awe of Paul's performance at the event.

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Barry debuted in Barry's Busting Out All Over!, where he intended to challenge Fantina for a Gym battle, but he instead met Ash at the door of the Hearthome Gym. He challenged Ash to a battle to prove his training methods wrong, but Ash came out as the victor. Afterwards, Barry stayed to watch Ash challenge Fantina in A Shield with a Twist!. At times, he was skeptical about Ash's strategy in the battle, but by the end of the fight, he realized that his techniques were excellent. He later stated that he would be his rival if Ash could defeat Byron, whom Barry had previously beaten.

Barry and Palmer

After staying with the group for the following episode, he departed to train at Iron Island, but appeared again in Steeling Peace of Mind! and Saving the World From Ruins! at Iron Island, where after being caught up in Team Galactic's plot to use the island as a radar to scan for the Spear Pillar he and Ash put aside most of their differences and became friendly rivals.

In Stopped in the Name of Love!, Barry announced his plans of entering the upcoming Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament and invited the group to join the competition. Later, when Dawn's Piplup fled the Pokémon Center, he helped to search for him. It was also revealed in this episode that he is good friends with Dawn's rival, Kenny. He reappeared in Old Rivals, New Tricks!, in which he watched Dawn and Kenny participate in the Sandalstraw Contest and shared with Ash and Brock that it was his first time watching a Pokémon Contest live.

In To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!, Barry entered the Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament with Empoleon as his partner Pokémon. He made it to the quarterfinals, where he lost to famous ping pong player O.

He returned home for the annual Twinleaf Festival. In Historical Mystery Tour!, Barry decided to have a battle with Ash, but he became side-tracked when he spotted a familiar Xatu. Ash, Dawn and Barry were all transported to Xatu's Forest, an odd dimension that enabled them to each relive one of their earliest memories; in Barry's case it was how he met his Heracross. After returning, he bumped into his father, Palmer. In Challenging a Towering Figure!, he entered the Festival Battle Challenge as part of the Twinleaf Festival in the hope that he would get to battle Palmer, but lost to Ash. At the end of the Festival, Barry decided to travel alone to get the Sunyshore City Badge.

Barry and Ash

In Gotta Get a Gible!, Barry battled Ash and his newly-caught Gible. Barry won his first battle against Ash, but Ash didn't take it harshly, praising Gible anyway and instructing it to listen next time. Barry celebrated his win as he held up his ticket to challenge Fantina, but Gible bit his hand and ate the ticket.

Barry and Paul

In Fighting Ire with Fire!, Barry revealed that he had acquired all the necessary Badges to compete in Sinnoh's League Conference. He met Paul for the first time and challenged him to a battle, but to his dismay, Paul refused and suggested he battle Ash instead. Barry initially said Ash was not at his level since Ash was still one Badge away from the Sinnoh League, but later agreed to battle him. He chose his Empoleon to face off against Ash's Monferno. However, the battle was put on hold when Team Rocket attacked.

In An Old Family Blend!, Barry showed up for the Lily of the Valley Conference where he was seen in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In League Unleashed!, he passed the preliminary round.

In Casting a Paul on Barry!, he battled Paul in the third round of the tournament, and even though he put up a strong battle, utilizing two new Pokémon on his team, Skarmory and Hitmonlee, along with his partner, Empoleon, he ended up falling before the superior strength and tactics of Paul and his team, not knocking out one of Paul's Pokémon in the process, though Paul commented afterwards that it had been a great battle. Barry then stayed and watched Ash's battles with Paul and Tobias, and he parted from the group in The Semi-Final Frontier!, promising to be reunited with Ash and become as strong as him.

Barry made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.

Character

Much like his game counterpart, Barry possesses a hyperactive personality that often goes well past impatience. To this end, whenever something or someone gets in his way, annoys him, or causes him any minor inconvenience, Barry will lose his temper and shout for the cause to be fined. This attitude is so recurring and extreme that his Empoleon often shows exasperation at his Trainer's wild behavior.

Barry admires Paul and his training methods, and wants to be a strong Trainer like him. He also has a slightly similar mentality as Paul's, such as preferring to catch strong Pokémon for training. However, unlike Paul, he still cares for his Pokémon, praising them for their hard work and showing concern when one of them is injured, such as when Empoleon was afflicted by the sound-waves caused by Team Galactic's actions while on Iron Island.

Later, he took Barry on a flight around Iron Island to see the cause of the Steel-type going haywire, including his Empoleon. Heracross was then hit by a Skarmory's Steel Wing, sending them falling onto Team Rocket. Heracross attacked Team Rocket as they were accused to be the ones behind all of this. However, after pointing out the machines located on the island, it turned out that another villainous team was the cause. The Galactic's Golbat attacked them with Air Cutter and severely damaged Heracross.

Heracross reappeared in Historical Mystery Tour! battling Ash's Pikachu. Heracross was able to withstand Pikachu's attacks and became stronger from the last time. The battle got interrupted when a Xatu flew by. Xatu lead the group to a tent owned by a Clown and they got sent to another world. When they woke up, they got separated and searched for their Pokémon. While Barry was looking for his Heracross, he found a tree.
