Dakim

Dakim (Japanese: ダキム Dakim) is one of the four s in . He is a hulking, muscle-bound man with red hair, and wears a necklace full of s.
Dakim is shown to be very reckless. He usually tries to keep his cool, but can become dangerous when angered. Dakim is the only Cipher Admin not directly involved in the creation and distribution of Shadow Pokémon. Instead, he and his underlings appear to be used as general enforcers and muscle. He himself has incredible physical strength, and he'll physically attack any enemy who won't give in to his demands. He also has surprisingly good jumping abilities, as he flees with a powerful and very big leap.
In battles, Dakim prefers to have one of his two use , while the other uses . He alternates his Pokémon's actions every turn. This is less prevalent in later battles, as he starts to utilize Pokémon that have the Ability, although members of his team without said Ability will still use Protect. He also may use an X Accuracy to increase the accuracy of his attacks. Later, some of his Pokémon use the / combination.

After being defeated, Dakim will retreat along with his forces. After Dakim has left, the player can pick up the F-Disk that he dropped.
Dakim later appears at Realgam Tower, guarding one of the four ID Badges that will grant the player and Rui access to the tower's main floors. After being defeated, Dakim will hand over the Grn ID Badge and remark that the player is the only person besides Nascour who has ever beaten him in a battle, before leaving the tower.

* Talking with Vander
:"Fine. After all the persuading I did, you still won't hand it over? Hump. This is what happens to stubborn oafs who don't do as I say!"
:"Daahahah! Treacherous? You didn't really think that a worm like you could win? All you had to do was to hand over the <sc>Time Flute</sc> without making a fuss. It's your own fault for getting hurt. Since you're not cooperating, I don't have any choice but to haul you off to <sc>Ein</sc>'s <sc>Lab</sc>."
* Before battle, to Wes
