* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler:At the end, Dawn is informed of what Barry did throughout the story. Horrified, she explains that he misunderstood everything and was just scared. Both Clan Leaders want to punish Barry for his actions, but Cyllene speaks up and suggests he joins the Survey Corps instead to make up for the damage, given his battle abilities. Everyone agrees to the terms, and once Dawn leaves, the others ask why Cyllene was so charitable. She simply states then when she visited Barry earlier, his eyes were full of pure terror, so she believes Dawn's story.]]

Added DiffLines:

* NotHelpingYourCase: Barry's misunderstandings regarding the Diamond and Pearl Clans are legitimately not helped by some of the ways they interact with him over the course of the story. Granted, they can be given some leeway as he's been acting increasingly hostile to them throughout the story, but as noted in chapter 16, they're not exactly looking friendly in his eyes no matter how much they claim to want to help him -- Irida approaches him on [[BearsAreBadNews Ursaluna's]] back whilst claiming to want to help him and Ingo's usual hammy delivery of his dramatic speech ends up sounding like a supervillain monologue.

After his best friend Dawn disappears, Barry is distraught and now can think of only one thing: Getting her back. To this end, he seeks out Jirachi, the wish-granting Pokemon, who tries but fails to grant his wish... at first. It ultimately decides that it needs something in return, and what it needs is to temporarily "borrow" Barry's memories.

So now Barry is in Hisui, without his memories of who it is he's looking for... but he ''does'' know he's looking for ''someone.''

!!''Donut Hole'' contains examples of:
* AmbiguousGender: Fern's gender is a mystery for much of the story. [[spoiler:After her final evolution, it's revealed that she's a girl]].
* BabyTalk: Jirachi speaks like this, much to Barry's irritation.
* BrokenPedestal: A complicated example; since Barry thinks he's in an alternate timeline where Cyrus won, he's fully convinced Ingo (who was apparently friends with his dad) has joined Team Galactic and is very upset to learn this. Thing is, that's ''not'' what happened at all, but even so hearing the words "And to think I used to look up to you..." from who for all he knows is just a random kid shakes the amnesiac Ingo to his core.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Barry not only explicitly has ADHD in this fic (something that's often headcanoned but never confirmed in the games), but goes off his meds when Dawn disappears.
* EntertaininglyWrong: After meeting members of the Diamond and Pearl Clans, Barry ends up believing he's in [[BadFuture a timeline where Cyrus won]].
* IdenticalAncestor: A plot point: Barry meeting Arezu ends with him thinking she's Commander Mars of Team Galactic and immediately leads to him becoming hostile towards her... especially since, with him searching for his missing friend, he instantly puts two and two together and assumes that Team Galactic must've kidnapped her.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Inflicted on Barry by Jirachi, as it doesn't have the strength to get Dawn back from Arceus on its own. Despite Barry's panic in response to this, Jirachi assures him that it's only temporary.
