#I'm Not Ingo

[jade-nargacuga]

To go with the last idea, the last thing Emmet saw of his brother was the video Ingo was recording for him as he explored the Icelands of Hisui. He was watching it live and saw the Zoroark attack as it happened. He frantically texted Ingo after the recording stopped and even tried to call, but the call function for the Arc Phone was disabled and Ingo was long gone by then anyway. He then tried and failed to contact Arceus, but to no avail. 

He was absolutely inconsolable for MONTHS afterward, believing he had just witnessed his brother being murdered. What brought him out of it was when he finally revealed what happened to Elesa, who insisted he tell her why he was so sure Ingo was dead. He told her about their meeting with Arceus and showed her the phone and video. She is horrified at first but then catches the sound of Ingo’s fleeing footsteps at the end of the video, proving that Ingo managed to get away. And while the strange Zoroark was covered in red splotches, none of them seemed to be fresh blood, meaning that Ingo probably got away relatively uninjured as well. There is still a very good chance Ingo is alright, and simply hasn’t been able recover his Arc Phone due to it being lost in the territory of a dangerous pokemon.

They contact Drayden, the professors, EVERYONE they can think of to review the footage and find a way to find Ingo again, but even after 5 long years little headway is made since Time Travel is something only the most powerful legendary pokemon can achieve, and the legendary pokemon are as elusive as ever. Not that time travel alone would help them, since unbeknownst to them Ingo is also in a whole parallel world to them, not in the past of their own world.

I also have such a nasty evil plan involving a Zoroark later in the story. I mentioned before that I had the idea of an enraged Drayden attacking the MC because he thinks they are a Zoroark, and when it gets ‘proven’ he damn near kills her. Seeing that last video of Ingo has given his family serious PTSD as far as Zoroark are concerned, and Drayden will not tolerate a Zoroark impersonating his nephew and literally toying with their emotions.

found family coworkers (definition multiple) of all time [image description under cut]

Comic 1:

First panel, Ingo and Akari are standing together. Someone off-screen asks “oh, is that your dad?”. Akari has an awkward smile and replies “oh, no no. he’s my...” There’s a long pause as she looks at Ingo. He’s leaving it up to her. She finishes, “He’s my coworker... friend... guy.” In smaller font, she continues “yea. that.” Comic 2: A dramatic panel of Volo, looking pissed off, shouting “who are you to interfere?!!” Ingo tugs the brim of his cap lower. The upper half of his face is in shadow, while his eyes stand out. He looks threatening but has his expression is his characteristic neutral-frown, and he says “...I’m her coworker friend guy.”. In the final panel, Machoke is throwing an incredible amount of punches, a reference to Star Platinum from Jojo. Ingo is pointing with one hand, his battle pose. The background text reads, “What does that even mean??” Volo is experiencing off-screen violence.

Comic 3: The comic is titled “Reunion”. In the first panel, Ingo shows off Akari, with a faint smile on his face. She is labelled “best girl (assigned by god)”. He says, “Emmet, this is Akari, my coworker. She’s the reason I was able to return to this station.” In smaller font, Akari comments to herself, “ooh... so this is the man in white.”

In the second panel, in smaller font Ingo notes “I think I remember now...” He says, “Akari, this is Emmet. He's also my coworker.” Coworker is underlined. Emmet is crying in the background, looking confused, conflicted, distressed, and happy. He says, “Brother...?” In the final panel, we see a framed photograph of all three together. Underneath are the words, Employee of the Month. Akari is dressed as a depot agent, and she and Ingo pose with peace signs. Emmet is red faced from crying, but he’s smiling widely. He looks happy.

Emmet and his Bugs!!!

[jade-nargacuga]

Be me: Wants to have a fresh spin on Ingo disappearing to Hisui where both he and Emmet talked with Arceus and agreed that Ingo would go and Emmet would stay behind until Ingo’s mission in Hisui was finished

Be also me: Circle back around to angsty Emmet because he lost contact with Ingo in the past in less than a day because Ingo got attacked by a Zoroark before he even found civilization and lost his Arc phone
