[OOC: Just because I'm the GM dosen't mean Barry is the leader xD]
The next thing Barry saw, other than the Kirlia bawling her eyes out, was the Charmeleon burning the Pelipper's body - which the Treeko (Nick, if he remembered) wasn't happy about.
But they couldn't let a dead infected body just lie there.
Next thing he knew, he was confronted by two pokemon at once,
"Are you the leader or thomething?"
"Uhh..." Barry was slightly caught off by the Ampharos's lisp. Before he could answer, though:
"So, fatso, what do we do next, since you seem to have taken the Leader spot?" Nick said, impatiently.
Barry frowned, "Wait a minute!" He scratched his head, thinking, "What makes you think I'm the leader, eh?" He racked his recent memory - at no point did he assume control, so what were they on about.
But still... leader?
"However," he continued, puffing out his chest and smiling smugly, "If you want me to be the leader, then I can do that! ... I think. I mean, I'm a three time Pokemon League Champion I'll have you know!" But still, did the group even need a leader?
"Anywhoo, I'll go get us some water." Barry walked around the camp, collecting any empty containers he could find. Once he had done so, he walked over to the bay.
The small beach was quite peaceful, the sun glowing warmly as it rose above the ocean horizon. Luckily, the hadn't had any swimmers in this part yet - maybe they hadn't reached this small corner.
However, when Barry procceeded to dunk the first bottle in the water, he could hear a subtle, but deep grumble. At first he thought it was his constantly hungry stomach again, but it almost sounded like it came from the water...
He took a look at the bay. Nothing. Slowly, while still watching, he put the next container in, and the grumbling sounded again. This time a bit louder, and this time, with ripples appearing.
Something was underwater.
With a loud crash of waves, a huge body burst out from the water, roaring - well, it was a half roar half groan. Barry fell back on his rear in shock, and his jaw dropped when he saw what the creature was.
It was a Gyarados. But it looked... horrible. It's skin looked darker and decayed - it was even piered and ripped in places. Whole chunks of its flesh were missing, Barry could see the bare bones of the sea monster in some places. Half of its top jaw was missing, leaving only three of it's four huge fangs. But the most chilling thing was its eyes - they were blank white.
"Holy sh*t... it's a zombie Gyarados..." Barry said to himself, starting to sweat with nerves.
The monster could clearly see Barry, and brought its face closer to him, growling loudly as it did so.
Barry stood up and threw the containers to the side.
"What?" he said loudly to the zombie, "You think I haven't taken out a Gyarados before?"
The zombie roared, lunging for Barry,
"Oh yea.. I forgot. You can't think..."
Barry rolled to the side as the zombie Gyarados smashed into the sand where he was seconds before, kicking up a large plume of sand. Barry ran to a safe distance, while waving his glowing white fingers. Metronome kicked in, and Barry soon found himself being surrounded by sparks of electricity. Tensing all his muscles, he fired the Thundershock attack, striking the Gyarados and dazing it for a second.
Barry ran for the beast, jumping off of the ground and landing on its back, clutching on to its upper back fin. The undead Gyarados suddenly began thrashing about, trying to shake off the pest on its back.
"Gaahhh!!" Barry yelled, trying to hold on. He used his ability, Strength, and tightened his grip, punching the giant fish's back repeatedly too.
This only made the zombie angrier, and it trashed around more violently.
Barry had to stop it - he couldn't let it get to the others.
