*"My wish is...to engulf this world in darkness" -* Barbasol

## General Info

Barbasol is an omnipresent dream demon, similar to Darkrai, that resides within the In-gameverse. He can be considered the main antagonist of the In-gameverse.

Barbasol is a shapeshifter whose main goal is to bring destruction to the In-gameverse. His true form has never been shown or known, but similarly to The Stuck, he has a Pokémon form. Strangely enough his form takes the shape of Bibarel. That may be due to the qualities of his initial appearance in PMD Randomized Journey.

## PMD Randomized Journey

Initially when Barbasol appeared in randomized journey he took the form of Bibarel and replaced Darkrai. This was seen as nothing but the randomizer being the randomizer. However his story doesn't end there.

During the Rapidash the prodigy, Barbasol can be seen again. This time as one of rapidash's "childhood" friends who brought the police to take Abra. Its theorized he could've been attempting to manipulate the timeline, but failed. In what way we are currently unsure of.

Also its notable that after Barbasol's initial defeat, the only thing that kept Murray and Nidoqueen Parker from seeing Keiko again was The Stuck. Currently its theorized that The Stuck gave Keiko back to Murray and Nidoqueen Parker as a thank you for going against Barbasol.

## PMD Explorers of Memories

Barbasol copied and recreated the entired of the Randomized Journey universe and created a seperate timeline in order to take it over. Everything was going according to plan at first, but one thing Barbasol didn't account for was that since Murray was brought from the abandoned Platinum Rom over to Randomized Journey, and since he copied everything from Randomized Journey, a new spirit from the abandoned rom was needed. The Stuck knew this and grabbed Ennard, the trainer, from the rom and forced his spirit into the Ralts. He also gave the ralts memories of the paralyzed future, and knew that that would ruin Barbasol's plans.

Once Magnus was introduced, Barbasol pulled the plug by freezing the entire timeline and starting again

## Pokémon Black

In the meantime while he was creating another timeline, he took the spirit of Bang the Krikitune from the Platinum Rom, and corrupted her the same way he did with The Stuck originally. This created Messida, who would become Barbasol's loyal henchwoman.

Messida had her own plans on dealing with The Stuck and began her plot by finding Mortuus. *( You can learn more about this from* Messida *)*

## PMD Explorers of The Spirit

Barbasol remembered that his puppet in Randomized Journey, the Bibarel, leapt through a portal in order to save himself from Bagon and his space powers. He decided to use that to his advantage and attempt a 3rd timeline in which that puppet was transformed and put in the slot of the main protagonist. He thought nothing could go wrong, however he still failed to account for The Stuck's copied world, and thus The Stuck brought over Mint from the rom and put them inside the phanphy, and thus also inside the Darkrai puppet. Barbasol throughout the journey had no idea The Stuck had meddled in his plans again and thus grew more and more frustrated at the continued uncooperative nature of Mint, before being beaten by them and losing that Darkrai Puppet's body, as Mint placed his spirit inside to take control.

Mint didn't get control of Barbasol however, thus Barbasol was now back to the drawing board.

## Barbasol's Master

Nothing currently is known about Barbasol's Master. He hasn't been hinted too as much, but what we do know is that they are like The Stuck, a being whos able to watch over all universes, not just one.
