Ida

This article is about a character featured in the Pokémon anime who has not yet debuted in the English language dub. As such, their information may contain romanized Japanese names, rather than dub names.

(Japanese: イア Ia) is a character of the day who appeared in Balloons, Brionne, and Belligerence!.

She and her boyfriend Kanoa belong to the Seafolk, a group of people who travel around the seas of the world. Kanoa is a treasure hunter, and despite his best efforts he had not been able to find any treasure yet. In order to make an income, Ia performed on the streets with her Brionne. While performing in Hau'oli City, she met up with Ash, Lana and Mallow. After seeing Ia and Brionne perform Hydro Vortex, Lana asked Ia to teach her how to use the Z-Move, as she had trouble executing it herself.

Ia agreed to tutor Lana and her Popplio and the training went on for days while Kanoa continued to search for treasure. Kanoa eventually discovered that a Mystic Water could be found in a sunken ship off the coast of Melemele Island. They all went to search for it, but found out the sunken ship was protected by a wild Dhelmise. Kanoa eventually retrieved it with the help of Lana, who had scared away the Dhelmise with her Popplio's newly-perfected Hydro Vortex. He later gave the Mystic Water to Ia as a necklace. Ia and Kanoa said their goodbyes to Ash, Lana and Mallow, with Ia promising to meet up with Lana again to see how much she has progressed. They then set off on their boat, on to their next destination.
