A Shiny Li'l Collab Idea!

Nyahaha! Ever since I came to Pasio, my subscriber numbers've been on the rise like a super-fast Eelektross crawlin' out of the ocean!

Just you watch, Scottie! I'm flyin' high like a Wattrel and ready to take on the world!

But I gotta stay on my tippy-toes!

With so many friendos with so many different tastes watchin' me, it sure is hard to choose what content to make!

I gotta get me some electrifying new content. Hmm...

A guest that could bring in the numbers... Aha!

That's it! A shiny li'l lightbulb just lit up in my brainspace!

I could do another collab with Elesa! That'd be awesooome!

She's already guest-starred for me once...but this time, we could do a double Electric Gym Leader special! Or somethin' like that!

All righty, then, Scottie!

Let's get right down to it and snag us an Elesa!

So, Elesa! Now that you've heard ye olde rundown, I'm officially askin' ya to be in my videos!

Certainly! If you really think it'd help, I'd love to join you.

Yesss! This'll bring my numbers up like an even more hyped Eelektross. Nyohoho!

Oh, but just so ya know, the vibes're gonna be a bit different from that Pasio intro video before!

My usual style of vids isn't gonna be a...branding issue or anything for you, is it, Elesa?

No, quite the opposite, actually.

Maybe it's because I'm a model, but many people seem to think I'm quite reserved.

I'd much prefer to feel closer to my fans, so we can all have a good laugh!

So if appearing in your videos destroys my current image...well, that's exactly what I want!

And I plan to learn a lot from you, Iono. I know that as a streamer, you care about building a relationship with your fans!

I'm picking up what you're puttin' down, friendo! Glad to hear it's aaall good!

That Iono-ese you use seems to help you grow closer to your fans... I might like to try it myself!

Elesa usin' Iono-ese?! That's gonna net aaaaaall the eyeballs we could ever want!

That shiny li'l lightbulb in my brain just lit up again! My next video will be...the Great Transformation Challenge!

I believe she's talking about my public image.

Nyahaha! Don't be TOO shocked, now!

For the Great Transformation Challenge...

Elesa and I are gonna swap speechin' styles!

Elesa'll break out the Iono-ese, while I act all cool and adult-y!

That'll definitely get the fans' attention!

What a wonderful idea! Count me in!

All my ideas are wonderful! Now, time for some lights, camera, ACTION!

Scottie! We're gonna need your camerawork again this time!

Meanwhile...

...No good here, either. There are burnouts and short circuits all over the place.

It looks like this was caused by an electric Pokémon, and no ordinary one, by the look of things.

Wow, I knew you were good with this stuff, but you can tell all that? So what do you think, someone playing a prank?

No, I doubt something with electricity this powerful is doing it just to cause a few little blackouts.

Hmm... Maybe it was an accident?

The Mystery of the Recurring Blackouts! This sounds like a prologue to a story...

Time to gather some material by figuring out what's going on!

'Kay, to kick things off, try actin' like yours truly, Elesa!

All right. I've practiced to perfection. Watch closely, now!

Ahem.

Your eyeballs are mine, caught in my Electroweb. Whosawhatsit? I'm Elesa.

No! No no nooo! You gotta loosen up more... go wild!

You've still got too much of that cool-and- composed-ness goin' on!

R-really? This is more difficult than I imagined...

Then open those eyes wide like a Magnemite while I show ya how it's done!

Your eyeballs are MINE, caught in my Electroweb! Whosawhatsit? Iono! 'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and bonjour!

Just like that!

Hmm... I suppose I'll have to exaggerate more than I thought, or I won't seem much like you.

Moving on, then! My turn!

Ladies and gentlemens! Welcome to the maaain stage! My glamour's gonna make your heads spin!

Whatcha think? Like lookin' in a mirror, right?

I think that may be a bit TOO wild.

As a model, it's my job to express beauty with every movement of my body.

Maybe you could trying being less expressive? ...And talk a little less, too?

Oh, I, uh...

Hrmmm. As a streamer, there's nothing scarier than dead air, y'know? I don't feel right if I'm not sayin' SOMETHING!

This here content might be tougher to create than I thought!

It seems we both still need a lot of practice.

Yeah... Guess you're right. Jeez, why is this so hard?

Hey, Scottie. I know we're just practicin', but could you keep that camera rollin'? I wanna check our blocking later.

Huh?!

Wh-wha, ?!

Scottie! Behind you!

Scottie! Behind you! BEHIND YOOOU!

Whosawhat're these Pokémon?!

That one is...Thundurus? We have legends about it in Unova.

But what's the other one?

I 'unno... But somethin' about it reminds me of Flutter Mane.

Thundurus and the mysterious Pokémon were glaring warily at each other.

Oh noes! Their power's makin' the weather go bad real quick-like!

If we don't do something, the lightning could get really dangerous!

Sounds like it's up to us to make those two turn down the voltage!

Aye aye! Let's aim for a clear sky!

All riiiiiight! Get ready for some zappin'!

Phew! They finally chilled out a little.

Since they're both electric Pokémon, they must've been competing to show off their strength.

But where did you come from anyway, oh mysterious Pokémon?

I finally found them!

Huh? Shauntal?

"Mysterious Electric Pokémon Revealed as the Culprits Behind Recurring Blackouts!"

Just as Iono suspected, that Pokémon, Raging Bolt...

is a Paradox Pokémon, just like Flutter Mane.

Hmm... I've heard rumors of Paradox Pokémon, but...

I read about this one in a paranormal magazine. It said it's an ancestor of Raikou. Do you suppose that's true?

Say whaaa?!

It does look similar...but the theory remains unconfirmed.

So it's still a mystery...

I was thinking of leaving Raging Bolt in your care, Iono, if that's agreeable to you.

Huh? For realsies?

Yes. You already have experience with Flutter Mane, and people here on Pasio are beginning to accept the existence of Paradox Pokémon.

This might be a good opportunity to officially introduce it, but in Pasio only.

For REALLY realsies?! Hot diggity dang!

Then let's start with that video we just took...

Whaaa?! All that data disappeared 'cause of Raging Bolt and Thundurus's thundery thunder?!

That must mean the Great Transformation Challenge footage disappeared as well...

Shall we record again?

Well...

Maybe it's actually a good thing all that data went bye-bye.

Huh?

I was just thinkin' that transformations are nice and all, but all that stuff that makes us US is important, too!

We didn't do so great tryin' to imitate each other... And y'know, maybe it's best to just be ourselves rather than riff off each other's style!

Just like Paradox Pokémon, they LOOK like our present-day Pokémon pals but aren't the same. They've got their own special somethin', ya know?

And that's what our loyal fans wanna see, right? You bein' you and me bein' me!

I suppose you're right.

When we consider the feelings of those watching us, that does seem the right approach.

It's because of the fans who support us that we're able to stand onstage.

But we also need to be careful we're not too swayed by the expectations and opinions of others.

Each of us needs to take care not to lose our own, unique sparkle!

But then what will you do to introduce Raging Bolt?

Oh, right. THAT.

I know! Iono, since we're already working together...

Ladies aaaand gentlemens! 'Ello, 'ello, hola! Ciao and bonjour!

Today's stream is for Pasio viewers ONLY! It's the big sygna suits reveal you've all been waiting to see!

I'm here with my special guest, Elesa!

Aaand guess what, you lucky friendos! We're gonna introduce our new partners, too!

First up, heeere's Raging Bolt! A Paradox Pokémon!

And the lightning that flies through the skies of Unova: Thundurus!

All righty, then! Who's ready to see us battle our butts off?!

We've got two electric influencers here. Let's see who packs the most powerful shocks!

I accept your challenge, Iono! And I'll make even your fans' heads spin!

Ladies aaand gentlemens! Let's get ready to thunderrrrrr!

Careful not to let your Poryphones short out from this ELECTRIC battle!

Because we're going to shock you all with our lightning and thunder!
