Chapter 8: Barry the Hyper Guy
Ash and the gang were walking into a Pokémon Center.
"So how is the Chunin exam going?" asked Dawn.
"Why being that up?" asked Gary.
"Well I just though about it." Said Dawn.
"Naruto refuses to talk about it." Said Ash.
"Whenever someone brings up he tends to get depressed." Said Ash.
That's when they arrived at the Pokémon someone came out and crashed into Ash.
"Hey what's the big idea!" yelled the guy who crashed into him.
"Hey Barry." Said Ash laughing nervously.
Barry was a friend/ rival of Ash's who was pretty impatient… and that's saying it nicely. He also idolized Paul… but that's a whole other story.
"Oh Ash! It's you! How's it been?" asked Barry.
"Fine." Said Ash as Ritchie helped him up.
"Who's he?" asked Barry noticing Ritchie, "Wait let me guess! You guys are cousins or something?"
"Why would you say that?" asked Ritchie.
The way the him and Ash were standing… well… they were sitting next each other with their Pikachu's on their shoulder.
"You're not related?" asked Barry with a sweat drop, "Please tell me you guys see it."
"We do… but that doesn't mean they're related." Said Gary.
Barry sweat dropped.
Sometime later they were eating lunch in the Pokémon Center.
"So have you heard anything about Paul lately?" asked Barry.
"Well I heard I left that evil group." Said Dawn.
"I bet he was black mailed or something." Said Barry.
"Yeah I'm sure." Said Ash with a sweat drop.
"Who's Paul?" whispered Ritchie.
"He's a rival of Ash's. They don't get along." Said Dawn, "In fact he even join the Rainbow Brigade for a while."
"I see." Said Ritchie.
"So how did you tow meet?" asked Barry.
"Oh we met at the Indigo Plateau" Said Ritchie.
"Did you battle?" asked Barry.
"Yeah… but it could have gone better." Sighed Ash.
"Ash doesn't' like talking about it." Said Brock.
"So you mean that wasn't an internet rumor about you owning a Charizard that wouldn't listen to you?" asked Barry.
Ash began to sweat drop.
"No… it wasn't a rumor." Sighed Ash.
"I see…" said Barry with a sweat drop, Barry turned to Ritchie, "How about a Pokémon Battle?"
"Sure!" said Ritchie.
Meanwhile in the villain's HQ, Sora was looking at a Crystal Ball.
"So… it looks like you're actuclly planning something." Said Oceania.
"In order to get a good monster one must know if the Sailor Senshi are with someone that would really surprise them." Said Sora with a smirk.
"That's not a bad plan." Said Oceania with a smirk, "But why a crystal ball?"
Sora shrugged, "I guess I'm a sucker for old school." She said wit ha laugh.
That's when she saw Ash and his friends getting ready for a battle.
"Oh it's him…" said Sora, "He could be useful."
"Who?" asked Oceania then saw it was Barry, "Oh that weird hyper guy. Yeah. I guess that that would be a pretty good choice!"
"I don't know… he seems a little too hyper." Said Terre appearing.
"I'm still going to do it." Said Sora, "I'm kind of bored."
Sora disappeared from the HQ and the other two shrugged and went about their business.
Meanwhile at the Center's Battle Field.
"Okay! This is a one on one battle!" said Brock.
"All right! I'll choose first! Go Empoleon!" called out Barry.
"Go! Sparky!" called out Ritchie.
"All right!" yelled Barry.
"How stereotypical." Muttered Sora who was sitting on the roof, "I was hopping to see more talking about how you two look the same oh well."
"Okay! Who are you!" yelled Barry.
"That doesn't matter when you're my slave." Said Sora jumped down off the roof, she shined her gem onto Barry turning him into a monster.
That was when Empoleon glared at Sora and used Hydro Pump on her. She stopped and shot a ball of energy that him! Knocking him down!
"Well… Senshi… want to try something?" asked Sora with an evil smile.
Ash, Gary and Ritchie all glared at her.
"Well aren't you going to try it?" she asked.
"Moon Light Power!"
"Saturn Cosmic Power!"
"Fighter Star Power!"
"Make-up!"
All of them transformed into Senshi form.
Neo Sailor Moon took out her communicator.
"A friend of mine was just turned into a monster! WE need at much help as we can." Said Neo Sailor Moon.
That was when the other Senshi arrived in a pile.
"That was fast." Said Sailor Star Fighter.
"Yeah…" said Sailor Saturn.
The Senshi got up from the giant pile.
"All right is everyone ready?" asked Neo Sailor Moon.
The other Senshi nodded in agreement.
The Barry Monster aimed a water attack at them, which they dodged.
"Deep Aqua Shinning Wave!"
"Golden Spiraling Shuriken!"
Both attacks hit the Barry monster… it seemed to effect it at first… then seemed to shake it off.
"It had no effect?" asked Sailor Venus.
"Wow… I wasn't excepting that." Said Sora with an evil smirk.
"I wonder…" said Neo Sailor Moon, "You guys! Do you think you can use Electrical Attack on him?"
"Okay!" said Sailor Jupiter.
"On it." Said Sailor Juno.
"You ready Zatch?" asked Sailor Mercury.
Zatch who had come along, nodded.
"Double Elemental Punch!"
"Supreme Lighting Canon!"
"Zaker!" read Sailor Mercury.
"Pikachu!" said Neo Sailor Moon.
"Sparky!" said Sailor Star Fighter.
"Use Thunder Bolt!"
All of the attack hit the Barry monster… and it worked!
"What?" asked Sora.
"He used a water attack, which meant that like his first Pokémon it was a water type." Said Neo Sailor Moon.
"Okay…" said Sora confused by the logic.
"Okay! I'll handle things from here on out." Said Sailor Galaxia.
"Galaxia Healing!"
The healing move worked.
"Damn it!" yelled Sora who disappeared.
"Good it's over." Said Sailor Galaxia, she then took a pen, walked over to the unconscious Barry and began to sang, "Doodle, doodle, doodley doodle."
"Um… Star… why are you doing that?" asked Dawn.
"Uh… no reason…" laughed Sailor Galaxia.
"Is it because he's a fan of Paul?" asked Sailor Pluto.
Sailor Galaxia sighed… "Yes…" she said.
Everyone sweat dropped when they heard that.
Sometime later after everyone left and the other Senshi other than Star (who was forced to stay to explain herself.) left… Barry began to wake up.
"What happened?" asked Barry.
"That woman did something to you that made you pass out." Said Gary whop couldn't help but to laugh at Barry's face.
"What's so funny?" asked Barry.
Dawn held up a mirror and he saw his face.
"What happened!" yelled Barry.
"I drew on your face." Said Star.
"Who are you?" asked Barry who was confused.
"A friends of theirs." Said Star, "Can I go home now?"
"Why did you do it?" asked Barry.
"Because I felt like it." Said Star, "Can I please go home now."
"Sure…" sighed Gary.
"Yays!" said Star leaving.
"That was weird." Said Barry, "Hey where's Empoleon?"
"The woman injured it, Nurse Joy is taking of it." Said Ash.
Barry ran so fast to see if his Pokémon was okay that he tripped and walked into a wall.
"Well… that was an interesting… day…" said Ritchie unsure what to say.
"Are you getting used to the way things work?" asked Dawn.
"A little…" said Ritchie.
And so… nothing… really happened… huh… weird… Well… that's it for this chapter… Later…
