− | Barry was an energetic boy who had a tendency to rush from one place to another, often while neglecting or forgetting something in the process. He seemed to gotten this tendency from his father, [[Palmer]], who acted as the Tower Tycoon of the Battle Zone's Battle Tower. Barry was determined to prove himself by defeating his father, which inspired him in his road to become a Pokémon trainer. He also had a habit of attempting to impose fines on others for being late, typically of a million or billion dollars. Barry lived at Twinleaf Town with his mother, and he was best friends with his neighbor [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]], whom he often dragged off to participate in mischievous schemes. | + | Barry was an energetic young boy who had a tendency to rush from one place to another, often while neglecting or forgetting something in the process.

Such an event occurred in the beginning of the fourth generation games, when Barry decided to drag his friend off to Lake Verity in search of rare Pokémon. When they arrived at the lake, they witnessed [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant Dawn/Lucas just as they were leaving. They noticed Rowan had left behind his briefcase, but just as they went to retrieve it, they were attacked by wild Pokémon. They each borrowed one of the three Pokémon ([[Turtwig]], [[Chimchar]] or [[Piplup]]) to fend off the Pokémon. The professor's assistant arrived in time to witness this, but Rowan was not angry and instead invited them to his lab. Barry rushed there first, where Rowan told him he could keep the Pokémon. He then ran off before Professor Rowan could give him a [[Pokédex]]. In ''Platinum'', the situation in which they borrowed Pokémon did not occur, and instead Rowan decided to give Pokémon to them when they caught up to him. | Such an event occurred in the beginning of the fourth generation games, when Barry decided to drag his friend off to Lake Verity in search of rare Pokémon.
