Barry/Lucas, known mostly as ClingyShipping, コウジュン (Koujun) and/or ジュンコウ (Junkou), is a common ship in the Pokémon fandom. It pairs Barry (Jun) and Lucas (Kouki), the rival to the playable character and the male playable character in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum respectively.
AbsurdistShipping, which pairs Diamond and Pearl, is its cross-canon counterpart in the Pokémon Special manga. Unlike the majority of other Pokémon pairings, this version of their ship is more popular than its gameverse equivalent.
