Iono (Masters): Difference between revisions

<!--Iono reveals that her goal on [[Pasio]] is to collaborate with a wealth of celebrities so her view count can soar, though quickly adjusts herself to say that she wants to make a lot more "friendos."<ref>''"Nyahaha! If I collab with them, my view counts’ll rise like a super-fast Eelektross crawlin’ out of the ocean! Err, I mean...I’ll make a lot more friendos!"'' Iono, Masters EX</ref> She quizzes the player about the best sights and activities on [[Pasio]] that she can stream at, with the intent to bring in lots of likes, or possibly even go viral.<ref>''Hey, do you know about any food or activities on Pasio that’ll bring in all the likes...or maybe even go viral? I wanna do a series of live streams about the best sights and stuff here for the socials!"'' - Iono, Masters EX</ref> Iono also teases the player when they ask about how she is off-stream, where she mentions that she must protect her image, otherwise she'll end up crushing the dreams of her fans. She says she'll spill what she's really like in her off-time if the player themselves becomes an even bigger influencer than she is.<ref>''"Nope! Nuh-uh! No way! I’m not gonna tell you somethin’ like that all willy-nilly! After all, I’m a Gym Leader AND an influencer, bringin’ dreams to the masses! I gotta protect my image! You don’t want me to crush the dreams of all those loyal ladies and gentlemens who watch me, do ya? But if you really, reeeaaally wanna know... I’ll spill all the tea about me if you become aneven awesomer, famouser influencer than I am!"'' - Iono, Masters EX</ref>  

Iono also references an unnamed influencer that does a variety of challenges involving Pokémon, with her example being one where the host allegedly tries to give a sticky Goomy a hug, which she found hilarious. She muses about the idea of doing some challenges herself, though immediately rejects the notion due to the backlash she could face for stealing the idea of another creator. <ref>''"There’s a channel I’ve been checkin’ out lately... They do all sortsa challenges involving Pokémon. In one episode, they tried to give a goopy, gloppy Goomy a big ol’ hug. It was HIL-arious! Maybe I should do some Pokémon challenges too... Wait, no! If I steal somebody else’s content ideas, the whole internet’ll come after me!"'' - Iono, Masters EX</ref> It's possible that the aforementioned creator is [[Raihan]], an existing [[Dragon (type)|Dragon-type]] expert with a {{p|Goodra}} on his team, who also happens to be an influencer. Additionally, she also has a unique voice line referring to a collaboration when paired up with Raihan,<ref>'''ch0296_00_nanjamo_1012_en.ogg''', appended to '''ch0296_vo_join_ch0257_en''', being Raihan: ''"Next, a collab with the tamer of Dragons!"'' - Iono, Masters EX</ref> and also mentions elsewhere in the game that she's watched a lot of his content. <ref name=IonoRaihan>[''"I’ve seen your content a lot, too! Can I get a selfie to commemorate our collaboration?"'' - Iono, Masters EX]</ref>In another voice line, she refers to [[Elesa]] by name when partnered up with her.<ref>'''ch0296_00_nanjamo_1013_en.ogg''' ''"Hey friendos! Time for Elesa's premiere!"'' - Iono, Masters EX</ref>

Iono's [[sync pair]] story involves the player spotting her in town on the island. She says that she's come up with the name of a game, '''“Who’s Iono’s Partner? I’unno!”''' and challenges the player to it, though they're able to guess before the challenge even starts. She chastises the player for not playing along, revealing that she's been streaming the entire time. Realizing that the player has been paying good attention to her, Iono asks another question regarding a previous stream of hers at the Levincia Gym and which Pokémon she used, naming {{p|Kilowattrel}}, {{p|Bellibolt}}, {{p|Luxray}}, {{p|Mismagius}}, and a final Pokémon that she wants the player to name. The player can guess correctly with {{p|Electrode}}, or incorrectly with {{p|Magnezone}}. This stream is a reference to the rematch between Iono and the protagonist of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, ordered by [[Geeta]] following the events in [[Area Zero]].

Later, she collaborates with [[Lear]] to showcase the island of Pasio to her fans as part of official Pasio content, which Iono mentions will get far more views than usual, due to the officiality of the collaboration.<ref>[''"Anything official gets waaay more eyeballs than unofficial stuff..."'' - Iono, Masters EX]</ref> During the livestream, she meets with [[Janine]] and the ninjas of Pasio, masked fighters such as [[Crasher Wake]] and the [[Masked Royal]], famous faces of [[Galar]], [[Raihan]] and [[Nessa]], (with Iono letting slip that their appearances are great news for her bank account) <ref>[''"Famous faces of Galar! Raihan—king of rackin’ up the likes—and the model Nessa! Gettin’ big-time guests like these is great news for my bank acc— Err, I mean...a great honor for me and my dear fans!"'' - Iono, Masters EX]</ref> whom she takes a selfie with.
