(Yay, I can still edit.:) Barry has battled Ash twice, but 3 or 4 times if that short battle in DP140 & DP141 are counted and 5 if the confirmed battle they will have in DP163.) |

*When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge. Instead, she sets the player on an extra task: He or she must go to [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve the sacred {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the player has done this, Clair, true to her word, arrives and hands over the badge as well as {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}. Afterwards, she says "No, it has nothing to do with my breath." The meaning of this was somewhat lost in translation, as Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, can be taken to mean "breath". Despite this, a pun remains, as "dragon breath" is a term sometimes used for someone who has {{wp|halitosis}}. The joke remains in Generation IV; although she now gives out {{TM|59|Dragon Pulse}}. | *When Clair is beaten in the game, she is so impressed and frustrated, she refuses to give the player the Rising Badge.
