With a final effort, Barry trudged along the shore and eventually collapsed, spurting out water,
"Swimming..." he said panting, "was never this hard. Damn this figure!"
As he lay there, a few things began to sink in. True, he would joke around about things, but come on - none of this was familiar. Nor physically possible for that matter. On one hand, he was scared. Very scared. What if all his family and friends back home thought he was dead? He didn't even know himself what country he ended up in. On the other hand, it wasn't too shabby. If it was all a wierd dream, then it was a nice one. It felt good to be relieved from the stress of the real world.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" he said aloud interrupting his thoughts, "If this isn't stress then I don't know what is. I need to find out what concoction of biology I am. And where the hell I ended up..." he surveyed the beach once more. All he could see was a lush forest standing further inland. Back out to see, there was nothing atop the shimmering horizon.
"And how do I get home...?"
He took a deep breath - and then savoured it. What on earth was that gorgeous, delicious smell? Closing his eyes and following his nostrils, Barry crawled along the golden sand and came to rest at blue object the size of an apple. Picking it up, he realised it was a berry. He wasn't one for scoffing berries, but it smelled so good.
"Nom." he said as he threw the berry in his mouth. What happened was strange - he didn't use his teeth to chew it, instead he just swallowed the thing whole. It felt totally natural, and also more satisfying. Barry could feel the taste and goodness burst inside him and give him a new lease of life,
"Oh, my, god!" he said emotionally, "That is the single most tastiest piece of fruit I've ever had! must have more..."
Suddenly moving with feet quicker than a riverdancer's, Barry prowled along the beach in search of the luxurious blue treat. Gasping as he saw another snugly sitting in the sand, he ran and dived on it, throwing it down the hatch and licking his lips. It was so good...
He never expected to see what he did next however. Inbetween himself and the water were two more creatures. One was a Pikachu, and the other was a Meowth. Barry half expected Team Rocket and Ash to appear next. What the hell were pokemon doing here? Wasn't that, for kids and stuff? After Red version Barry never touched the games again, but anyone could recognize Pika and Meowth.
"Wait a second..." he mumbled, "does that mean I'm..." He surveyed his body again,
"No. I can't be. I've never seen this one before..." He faced the headphone wearing mouse and the cat,
"...can either of you two tell me what's going on? Or where I am at least..."
