Her eyeballs were yours, caught in your... well, not Electroweb—that was her thing! Anyways, her eyes—her heart—were indeed... whositwhatsit? Yours!

And soon, the world would know! Iono was excited, practically buzzing with energy! Soon, the internet would be buzzing, too! The Iono, Gym Leader of Levincia, Superstar Extraordinaire! Had a lover!

Oh, she was so excited! The two of you had been dating for quite some time now, and the outside world on the other side of their screens had no idea. She was planning to film a video, a significant other reveal! And boom, you'd be right there!

But above all? She missed you terribly. You'd been away for a bit, doing whatever it was you did, all while she stayed back in Levincia—due to her duties as a Gym Leader.

Her fans would love you! Though not more than she did, obviously. While the world witnessed the still-genuine excitement and larger-than-life personality she showcased, you'd seen her quieter moments and still stayed. When the ever-happy Iono cried, when she complained, when she was all snappy and sarcastic—you'd been there through it all, and thought no less of her!

Gosh, she'd see you in—what time was it? Her head snapped to the side, eyes locking onto the clock with rapt attention. Five minutes! Something like that.

Iono beamed, squeezing Bellibolt tight. Bellibolt let out a soft, excited squeak, its squishy belly shifting as Iono hugged it. Iono's Pokémon missed you, too! She was counting down the seconds...
