Proteam Omega
Proteam Omega (Japanese: タウリナーΩ Taurina Omega) is a mecha anime that Diamond is a huge fan of in the Pokémon Adventures manga series. The anime is the reason why he works so hard to prevent Cyrus from accomplishing his goals of creating an emotionless world.
Character
Proteam Omega is a giant robot created from several smaller vehicles known as Tauri-Brain (タウリブレーン Tauri Brain) a biplane, Tauri-Liner (タウリライナー Taurin Liner) a train, Tauri-Ship (タウリシップ Tauri Ship) a boat, Tauri-Balloon (タウリバルーン Tauri Balloon) a hot air balloon, and Tauri-Rescue (タウリレスキュー Tauri Rescue) a fire truck.
History
Proteam Omega first appeared in VS. Bidoof where Diamond is seen watching it and singing its theme song. In VS. Rotom, Diamond and Pearl spot two mysterious figures while going through the Eterna Forest. When they go inside the Old Chateau they are attacked by a Rotom who is hiding in a television, Diamond uses the figures he saw earlier to find the hidden Rotom as the mysterious figures he saw were the villains from an episode of Proteam Omega.
Dia brings up Proteam Omega when the Celestic Ruins are attacked by Cyrus in VS. Probopass & Magnezone, where he compares Team Galactic to Proteam Omega's enemy, the Demon Brioche and its minions.
In VS. Lickilicky when Dia fights a wild Lickilicky, he finds out that it was trying to protect a pile of stolen objects, among the pile was a Proteam Omega toy. In the next round, Diamond attempts to return all of the items his newly captured Lickilicky, Ri, had stolen. When he goes to return the Proteam Omega toy he finds out that it was thrown away by the child who previously owned it thus allowing him to keep it for himself, he decides to play with his newly acquired toy but it runs off with Dia chasing after it, eventually leading him to Platinum's house.
When infiltrating the Galactic shuttle, Dia reveals that he never once believed that people as evil as the villains were made up and could never exist in reality. However, during his adventures he is shocked to find out that they do exist, and that he cannot allow such evil to exist.
Trivia
- When Dia was explaining his reasons for sneaking on the Galactic shuttle, in his flashback he can be seen using Pokémon dolls in place of the vehicles that form Proteam Omega, the same ones that Red uses.
