Dorian

Dorian

Dorian (Japanese: リュウジ Ryūji) is a character of the day who appeared in Just Add Water.

Dorian is a Water-type Pokémon Trainer who runs the unofficial Coastline Gym on the eastern shores of the Johto region. Dorian puts on synchronized swimming shows with his Pokémon because he is a big fan of The Sensational Sisters: Daisy, Violet, and Lily. He regularly visits the Cerulean Gym for inspiration and hopes to someday open the Coastline Gym to League challengers.

Dorian's Gym battles take place underwater, with Trainers using scuba diving gear to remain with their Pokémon. The unique aquatic location makes the battle experience a truly dynamic one, with opponents able to deal blows from a multitude of angles.

Misty was particularly enraged by Dorian's statement that Lily was prettier than she was, so challenged him to a battle. Ash decided to challenge Dorian first, though his Totodile was defeated by Dorian's Lanturn. Misty went up against Dorian in a three-on-three battle. Dorian and Misty won a round each. However, the third round was interrupted by Team Rocket who rocked up with their underwater mecha and kidnapped several of the Water Pokémon, Dorian and Misty.

Ash and Brock soon located the Rocket trio thanks to Ash's Noctowl. Misty's Psyduck was the unlikely hero after its headache swelled because of Arbok's Bite attack, and it unleashed a powerful Psychic attack to blast Team Rocket off. Dorian and the others were reunited with their Pokémon shortly after. Misty was still keen to continue the match, though Dorian admitted that Psyduck's surprising strength would easily defeat him in battle. The pair agreed to a draw, and Dorian came to understand that Misty was equally as strong as her sisters. Before the group left, Dorian took a commemorative photo with Misty, her Corsola and Psyduck which is pinned alongside his collection of Sensational Sisters photos.
