about his Pokémon and battling style☇ strong defense
☇ slow
☇ to overcome his Pokémons’ low speeds, he worked with Wig to develop the move, “Dia’s One-Mach-And-Only Razor Leaf” in which Wig shoots out only one leaf at an extremely high speed. He worked on accuracy a lot when developing the move, so he can even have Wig shoot down moving targets.
☇ good in tag-team battles - his Pokémon cooperate well!
☇ “steadfast”
☇ heavy Pokémon
☇ Dia is probably the only person who would pull out his notes and start reading them during the battle. To make sure he doesn’t forget something important, though, he sometimes does…
☇ His battling style seems to be based around countering rather than first attacking, since his Pokémon aren’t fast enough to get in the first hit most of the time.
quotesPearl: “We’ve been friends since we were little… and to tell you the truth, I’ve never seen him angry before! It’s like there’s not a rough edge to him at all! The guy’s got a heart of a polished jewel, you see! He’s like… the ultimate in refinement!”
“I specially made this for you, Little Miss! Here! My special custard pie! … I understand the fear of being on stage… I’ve been through that when performing with Pearl. The fear of performing in front of others, nervousness… fearing failure… facing tough competition as well as hostility… but I just want to do things happily. And I want everybody to know that! … As long as I get to eat delicious food, I’ll be glad… and my heart will be unburdened.”
“Anybody who protects Little Miss is, without a doubt, a friend of ours! And we can become closer friends if you’ll listen and laugh at our double act jokes!”
“I thought it was strange right from the start. I mean… how could we have won a tour that was so luxurious that it even came with a tour guide to boot? So I thought about it and managed to figure it out… the bodyguard request and our tour itinerary must have been swapped when we bumped into those guys back there…” (Pearl: “Then… why didn’t you say anything earlier?!”) “I thought if I’d told you… it’d be the end of our journey together!”
“… Why would I do something as silly as that… escaping is just your opinion, right? I chose the course of action I thought is correct. You’re always pushing me around. I wanted to say this before… Pearl, you’re not the boss of me. […] Pearl, when you say to do this or that, and when I follow you, that usually works well, but that’s not based on my thoughts and feelings. There are times… when I want to show my feelings.”
“But after all, I think of ‘journeys’ when I speak of Pokémon. Everyone is on a ‘journey,’ right? A journey of the heart~ You find out about yourself and your opponents… umm, ummm… I can’t think of anything witty…”
“Always, when I opened my eyes, Pearl and Little Miss would have already been awake for a long time, huh~ When I got close to those two, the Pokédexes would start beeping. Then the three of us would turn it off to start the new day… The Pokédex that would beep every morning… won’t beep… today… I wonder why? It’s just that the sound I always hear is gone… it’s just… it’s… just… starting today… I’m alone…”
Riley: “He was completely exhausted by his training, but when it comes to food, he comes right back to life… What an interesting kid.”
Riley: “He’s a great kid, very kind and hard working. Even if he takes his time, he’ll always come up with the right solution in the end after careful thinking. That’s the type of person I think he is.”
“… A fast-moving opponent, huh… If that’s so… that’s what we worked on… I always had problems with opponents faster than me, so I came up with lots of methods. This is a good time to try out my results, right? In a match against your speed, we’re gonna win~~!”
“I call this special move: Dia’s One-Mach-And-Only Razor Leaf~~”
Riley: “Dia is able to see through things more proficiently than I thought.”
“Family, huh… fuu~ I have to protect them. I have to protect Sinnoh’s future!”
“You said that blowing up a lake is interesting? No, that’s wrong! That’s not interesting at all! I know at least that much!”
“While watching [Proteam Omega] on TV, I always thought that these stories were just made-up. But I was wrong. They really do exist. People who are going to change the world as they like… They really do exist! Unbelievably sneaky, unbelievably mean, unbelievably untrustworthy, unbelievably harmful, and unbelievably violent! I can’t allow that, so I want to do something about it… That’s how I feel… Mom…”
“If that’s the case… I’ll jump in myself! Mamo, let’s go! Let’s see if we can’t get back from the other side!”
“I… can’t put it in fancy words… but I understand. I’m slow, but Pearl is hasty. Even when we do the same thing, Pearl is fast and I’m slow. The same hour might feel too long for Pearl and too short for me. But… it was the same hour. That was the ‘time’ I felt. I was traveling with Pearl and Little Miss. Since we didn’t know any place other than our homes or the nearby cities, no matter where we went, we always met new people and new Pokémon at new places, and wondered just how wide this world was. That was… the ‘space’ that I felt.”
“Why… do you get to decide? The ‘time’ that me, Pearl, and Little Miss spent, and the ‘space’ that we traveled all over are the most important ‘time’ and ‘space’ to me. Not just for me, the people and Pokémon who treasure this ‘time’ and ‘space’ have come here for that. You have no right to take away something that important for your own selfish reason!”
