Barney, as it turns out, was having very much similar thoughts to Larry. Why had he even gotten on this bus? He was leaving Goldenrod! The closest thing he found to home. He put it up to having still been drunk while making the decision.

Of course, now he was hungover, which he hadn't thought possible here in Johto, but somehow his party had produced enough alcohol to cause it. He groaned, trying to ignore the bus and all of it's movements (Was the Jenny aiming for every bump and dip?). God this sucked.

Make it end! he thought, almost as a prayer.
