I'm more inclined to say Dia is alternate Kaki:

As far as hair and skin colour he looks more like the boy on the right than alternate Ash.

Why are we so sure that fake-Satoshi-Nyabby kid was Dia?

Look at that photo above. Those are this universe's versions of Ash and his classmates. Dia is the kid with the red cap in the middle, the same kid who was hugging a Litten. And I think Dia still wears that same hat.
 
Ah the cap :rolleyes: It always comes back to the hat in Pokeani... (I don't think there was any other confirmation in SM100 however that Dia is the kid in the photo/holding Nyabby in the flashback.)

True. No confirmation yet. However, there are the hints that he's a former member of the Ultra Rangers (this world's equivalent of the Ultra Guardians) and that his base is at the Pokémon School.
 
Not sure this came up yet, but I checked the credits for next episode.

Asada and Iwane.

Bring the popcorn.
 
So a question that everyone seems to be avoiding: we all know that Ash will return safely to Alola (spoilers), but will Dia come with him?

Since his goal is to restore Melemele Island back to the way it was before Guzzlord came in and ruined everything, I'd have to say that he'll probably stay behind.

True, but if the intro is to be believed, Zeraora could be a potential rival for Pikachu, which would imply that Dia would be one of Ash's rivals, which would imply that Dia somehow wound up in Alola.

Then again, this is all based on my interpretation of the intro, and we all know how reliable the anime's openings are (I'm looking at you Be an Arrow!).
