Barret Daigo

Barret Harumi Daigo is from Aspertia City in the Unova region. He's a former member of Team Plasma, and is now a member of the Tekiyoku. He's a Grass Manipulator.

Present
Barret appeared along with Kodai in Episode 20 in Blackthorn City, Johto. The two were there to hinder the Mokusetsu as they were there to find Midori, which hasn't been found yet at the time. He's a Grass Manipulator, while Kodai is Psychic. A fight ensued for possession of Midori. Ash fought Barret, while Alain fought Kodai. Dawn, Pikachu, and Mairin hid.

Barret is a quiet person and doesn't speak much, but he did well against Ash, having used Autumn Leaves to no success, but using it to cause a distraction for him to successfully take away Ash's stamina with Pretty Flower. After this, Kodai used Graceful Descent on Ash and Alain, who was just knocked down by "Stay Back!". They were both slammed down to the ground.

Kodai then walked up to Ash about to kill him. Suddenly, Mairin ran in front of him to stop him. Kodai then slapped her and threw her across a brook to the other side, as she hardly moved. Out of nowhere, Ash struck him forcefully and was the angriest he had ever been at this point. He proceeded to beat up Kodai. Alain came to and used Breath of Fresh Air on Barret, as the two then defeated Kodai, who retreated with Barret.
