sono finiti in parità a causa della sospensione dell'incontro.

[[Canalipoli]] da Ferruccio) e la [[Medaglia Bosco]] (da [[Gardenia]] ad [[Evopoli]]);

Barry made his debut appearance in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', where he was intended to challenge [[Fantina]] for a Gym battle, but coming up with Ash at the door of the Gym.
He then challenged Ash to a battle to prove his training methods wrong, but Ash came out the victor.

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.

Barry reappeared in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]'', where he battled Ash and his newly-caught {{TP|Ash|Gible}}. Barry wins his first battle against Ash, but Ash doesn't take it harshly, praising Gible anyway and instructing it to listen next time. Barry celebrates his win as he holds up his ticket to challenge Fantina, but Gible bites his hand and eats the ticket.
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.
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. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' he battled his idol [[Paul]] in the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley 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. He 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.
