Dia

Dia is a recurring character who appeared in *Trials of Sarah Vol 1.5 Dawn of Destiny*. He is a resident of the Ultra Ruin, a world that was devastated by the appearance of the Ultra Beast Guzzlord, and a former member of the Ultra Rangers.

## History

Dia debuted in *Battling the Beast Within!*, where he encountered Sarah, Blitz, Silvally, Nebby, Nebula, Zoura and her Zeraora when they found themselves transported to his home world from an alternate Melemele Island by a Shiny Tapu Koko and the Tapu Koko of Sarah's world. Sarah, Silvally, Nebby, Nebula, Zoura and her Zeraora were attacked by a Guzzlord, but Dia saved them using his friend Zeraora. After introducing himself, he explained to Ash what had happened to his world and then had a battle against Ash, which Dia was able to win. Dia eventually took Ash to some ruins, which Ash recognized as the Pokémon School.

Dia reappeared in *Parallel Friendships!*, where he explained to Sarah, Blitz, Silvally, Nebby, Nebula, Zoura and her Zeraora how his universe is different compared to his. He later explained that the reason Ash was unable to use a Z-Ring is because his Tapu Koko left the Alola region and all life was destroyed by Guzzlord. Since that time, Dia became disillusioned with Tapu Koko and believed that his efforts of stopping the Ultra Beast were hopeless. However, all of that changed when he witnessed their training and Sarah explained her own hardships with tangling with Team Eclipse, which turned into a competitive battle against Zeraora and it reinvigorated Dia and Zeraora's ambitions.

The battle also attracted Guzzlord's attention, so Dia, Sarah, Blitz, Silvally, Nebby, Nebula, Zoura and Zeraora, and Dia's Zeraora were forced to put a new plan into action, luring Guzzlord to the Ultra Wormhole below the debris. When they attempted to ensnare the Ultra Beast in Blitz's Electroweb, Guzzlord fought back. Dia wanted to retreat, but Ash refused to give up. Just when they were about to be consumed by Guzzlord, Tapu Koko appeared and trapped it with its electricity. Tapu Koko reactivated Sarah and Dia's Z-Rings, and together, they used their Z-Moves to push Guzzlord through the Ultra Wormhole. Dia thanked Ash for his help, and realized that it was time for Sarah and her friends to return to his home world. He and Zeraora battled Sarah and her friends again, which caused a dimensional rift to open up and allow the group to return to their home world with Beautifly, Seviper, Lycanroc (soon to be named Dawn), Suicune, Entei, Raikou being given Dia's blessing to go with them knowing they'd be happier in her world. She promised she'd take good care of them and she earned Suicune, Raikou, Entie and Ho-Oh's Pokemon Gems in the process.

The group said goodbye to Dia and Zeraora and promised to battle them again one day before going their separate ways.

He reappeared during a flashback in *Z-Move Showdown!* and again when he and Zeraora appeared to fight the Guzzlord Horde having been warned thanks to their Shiny Tapu Koko.

## Personality

Dia is a gruff and stoic individual, which was brought by his experiences with Guzzlord. However, he also has a hidden kindhearted and generous nature, as he was eager to share his story with Sarah, in addition to offering him food and shelter. Dia is also very competitive in battle. He used Zeraora's strong will and power to overwhelm his opponents.

He is also incredibly optimistic and maintained a clear focus on his goal; to send Guzzlord back to its home world. Dia was well aware of the dangers of the situation, hence his initial hesitance and opposition to Sarah's assistance. After seeing Sarah's performance in battle and strong friendship with her pokemon and hearing her own war back in her world and the hardships she went through herself and still held onto hope, he allowed Sarah to join his mission. Sarah served as a catalyst and helped reinvigorate Dia and Zeraora's focus and ambitions.

## Green Dragonzord Ranger

### Morpher

it out to reveal a gold, white, and green Power Morpher/Dino Buckler from MMPR/Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger.

But, what made Dia's morpher different from the original Power Morphers is that the design was based on Tommy and Burai's original gold morphers but with a more metallic gold finish, the POWER RANGERS/KYORYU SENTAI ZYURANGER lettering being replaced with red lining designs on a black background similar to the designs on the Zeo/OH Suits from Power Rangers Zeo and Chouriki Sentai Ohranger and white lightning bolts on the gold rims. Surprisingly, it didn't have a Power Coin inside the small green circle spot in the middle of it.

### Uniform

Flipping his Power Morpher and pressing on the belt button below his right thumb, he morphed into his green, white, and gold Power Suit but of just spandex, it had an armor-like look akin to the Power Suits from the MMPR Movie.

In addition to the armor-like suit, he had a golden shield and gold armbands akin to the Dragon Armor of Zyuranger's Dragon Ranger covering his upper body and upper arms for added protection. Dia looked incredible as a Power Ranger when he was completely morphed and he showed it in spades.

#### Attacks

* Delta Thunder Riser, Energy Slash - he fires a wave of energy at the opponent
