Sidian (Japanese: オニキス Onyx) is one of the admins of the Explorers, and a recurring major antagonist in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.

History

Sidian in the anime

Sidian first appeared as a hologram in The Ancient Poké Ball, silhouetted with two other Admins, Coral and Chalce.

Sidian reappeared as a hologram in Quaxly, We Can Do It!, this time not silhouetted, where he commented that Spinel's reason for his mission's failure was the result of tunnel vision.

He made his physical debut in HZ024, where he accompanied Hamber and Coral to an old castle in Hammerlocke in order to meet up with Amethio, Zirc and Onia, who were pursuing a mysterious Pokémon that formed from Liko's pendant.

In HZ025, Sidian arrived at the old castle alongside Hamber and Coral. Sidian had his Garganacl indiscriminately take out the Pokémon living at the old castle before battling Liko and Roy. Thankfully, Captain Pikachu arrived at the old castle to rescue them, Pikachu attacked Glalie and then took Garganacl out of the fight, before escaping when Coral suddenly had her Glalie use Self-Destruct. After the Rising Volt Tacklers had escaped, Sidian scolded Coral for her reckless actions, which not only caused unnecessary destruction but also caused both of their Pokémon to be defeated.

Sidian appeared again in HZ043, where he stayed around Coral once again as the latter headed to the nearby town to buy the coveted Wiglett Manju, which was rare in supply. When Coral challenged Liko and Roy to a battle, Sidian stepped in with his Garganacl, much to Coral's chagrin, and joined her in a Multi Battle against Liko and Roy, with Sidian directly challenging Liko. Garganacl managed to endure Sprigatito's Magical Leaf and damage it with Salt Cure, but not before having its Stone Edge taken out by a Magical Leaf boosted by Overgrow. Sidian was impressed, and prepared to go all out, but then was contacted by the rest of the Explorers and was forced to withdraw to deal with their mission surrounding the Black Rayquaza.

Character

Sidian overall appears to have a serious and stoic personality, hardly showing strong emotions at times, although he can still get frustrated or irritated when insulted by others, such as his fellow admin Coral. He usually obeys the orders of his superiors such as Hamber without much issues. Sidian is along with Coral, known as "the troublemakers", being less disciplined and more aggressive than their fellow admins. Sidian has a ruthless and combative disposition when operating, as seen during the siege on Diana's castle where he not only disobeyed orders to standby, but also indiscriminately commanded his Garganacl to attack and take out every Pokémon in his path by having them inflicted with Salt Cure. Nonetheless Sidian has his own personal limits and considers even Coral's volatile actions to be reckless. Sidian is notably level-headed and calm, and because of this he often stays around Coral to keep her volatile behavior in check. In line with his level-headedness, he appears to be surprisingly honorable, as shown in HZ043, politely asking Liko to be his opponent and to fight with honor, without the use of dirty or underhanded tactics.

Pokémon

		Garganacl
		Garganacl is Sidian's first known Pokémon. In HZ025, Garganacl indiscriminately defeated most the Pokémon living at the old castle before being used to battle Liko and Roy. Captain Pikachu arrived in time to rescue them and Garganacl tried to hit it with Salt Cure, but Pikachu was able to avoid it and hit Garganacl with Volt Tackle, temporarily taking it out of the fight. However, when Coral recklessly commanded Glalie to use Self-Destruct, much to Sidian's protest, Garganacl was unfortunately defeated by Glalie's attack which took itself out as well. Garganacl's known moves are Salt Cure, Wide Guard, and Stone Edge.
Debut	HZ024

		Aerodactyl
		Aerodactyl is Sidian's second known Pokémon, which he uses for aerial transport. None of Aerodactyl's moves are known.
