About: A Binacle that hails from an unnamed island, Diego showed immense fighting potential to his peers, being relatively unmatched by other Little Cups. With the exception of one: Laura, the Inkay.
For a long time, Laura was regarded as the most powerful Basic pokemon on the island, which Diego hated. After all, despite being younger than her, the Binacle was regarded as a genius for fighting and, after challenging her title, the Rock/Water type managed to block her Superpower at the last second and turn the tables around, earning him the victory and the title he believed to deserve.
However, much to his surprise, the Inkay returned with a human after a few days. Despite having improved much since their last meeting, the Binacle couldnt help but feel afraid. Neverthless, he was forced to accept her challenge and, once their attacks colided, the battle resulted in a tie.
Angered at this, Diego forcefully entered Matezoide's party, for he knew Laura would return far more powerful one day and he could never allow her to surprass him.
Since then, the two have become huge rivals, constantly competing against each other, but his rivalry isnt limited to her, and instead, his sights are centered around the entirely of Matezoide's team, but especialy the Pokemon Leader, Steve. Diego is determined to defeat the fighting type in combat and get his position, proving his superiority once and for all.
