Meeting Barry,

Tomo's Gym Battle 5

And Ash's Gym Battle

Today the gang finally made it back to Hearthome City. "I hope we will battle Fantina this time," said Tomo "I'm tired of waiting". "Me too Tomo, Fantina did make us wait a long time" said Ash. "Well you two can't blame her for that," said Dawn "remember she was training with her pokemon". "Yes but still" said Ash. Ash was patient, but even he found it hard to wait for a gym battle; he even found it hard back when he had to wait to battle Jasmine.

When the gang finally got to the gym, Ash and Tomo ran to the door. But then the gym door opened and somebody crashed into Ash. "Ouch what was that?" said Ash. "Ow my head" said a voice. The voice belonged to a boy with yellow hair. "Are you okay Ash?" asked Dawn. "Hey what about me!" shouted the boy "don't mind asking me if I'm okay!" "Oh dear sorry, are you okay too?" Dawn said to the boy. But then when Dawn looked at the boy, he looked familiar to her. "For crashing into me like that I should fine you" complained the boy. "Hey that was an accident," Ash argued back "we don't need to pay for something like this". "Under my watch you do!" argued the boy "ah I have no time for this. I'm going to be the greatest pokemon trainer ever!" Then he ran off. "What the heck was that about?" said Ash. Just then Tomo noticed something on the ground. It was an orange badge case. "Hey do you think this badge case belongs to that kid?" asked Tomo, picking it up off the ground.

Before Tomo's question could be answered, Fantina came out of the gym. "Why bonjour Ash, Tomo, Dawn and Brock" she said. "Hi Fantina" said Dawn. Suddenly Fantina noticed the orange badge case Tomo was holding. "Oh that belongs to my challenger" she said. "Challenger?" said Ash "oh you mean the boy who just came out of the gym?" "Correct" said Fantina. Fantina explained the boy was from Twinleaf Town and he had just challenged her to a gym battle, but he lost. "Speaking of gym battles," said Ash "may Tomo and I challenge you to a gym battle?" "Oh sorry Ash," said Fantina "but I had a few challengers battling me today and my pokemon need to rest today. Please wait till tomorrow and then we can battle". Ash understood; he was disappointed but he knew that Fantina's pokemon needed to rest after doing gym battles today.

"What should we do now?" asked Tomo. "Well first of all we'll take this badge case back to that kid we saw earlier, then we get ready for our gym battle tomorrow" answered Ash. Suddenly there was a shout and somebody ran into Ash; it was the boy from before again. "Ow not again," complained the boy "oh it's you again". Ash wasn't happy either. Just then the boy noticed his badge case on the ground; Ash dropped it when the boy ran into him. "You're not just a klutz, you are also a thief stealing my badges" said the boy. "Hey you have it all wrong" said Brock. "Hey I remember you now," interrupted the boy, pointing at Ash, "I saw you on TV when the Hearthome tag battle was on and you teamed up with Paul. Man you were terrible compared to Paul; I was laughing through the whole thing". "Oh yeah!" shouted Ash, angrily. Just then Dawn interrupted them. "I remember you, you're Barry right?" she asked the boy. "You know him Dawn?" asked Ash. "Yes I remember him because I'm from Twinleaf Town too. I remember that you did a duet with Exploud at the festival last year that was you right Barry?" "Yeah that was me, but I don't remember you," said Barry "oh wait now I do. You're the geeky trainer who Paul defeated in the tournament". "Geeky?" said Dawn, angrily and not liking Barry's tournament. Brock and Tomo told Barry they were in the tournament too, but Barry couldn't remember them. So Brock and Tomo just introduced themselves, not happy with Barry's attitude at all. "Hey let's have a battle," Barry said to Ash "you have ten seconds to call out your pokemon". He had an orange poketch. "Wow that's a latest model of the poketch" said Dawn, grabbing Barry's wrist to get a better look at it. "Hey you girly geek!" shouted Barry, rudely, "you're interrupting my timing". "My name is Dawn" said Dawn, angrily. Barry ignored her and told Ash to hurry up and release his pokemon.
