Like, how to even cope with that? Cuz as far as we know and understand, Ingo is left to live and die on Hisui no return to modern times or Unova.
Like, just imagine Emmet finding an old picture of Ingo along the recorded history of Sinnoh. Like... people saying that: "Oh, shit. Are you a descendant of him?!" like, finding that a picture of Ingo has been even before they were born like... knowing that they were meant to be separated since forever, that this was their destiny no matter what like... damn.
This is how it feels whenever i remember this specific genre of warden ingo headcanon/fanarts
Tumblr media
Let me write a bittersweet perspective on that.
Among the items left by Ingo, there is a letter, written during the final years of his life. It was never sent and the name of the recipient has faded with time. In it, he tells his various experiences in Hisui. There's a lot of hardships because he lost his memories, but he also talked about the good things he encountered, how grateful he is to meet people and pokemon who accepted him there.
And later, he mentioned how he finally regained his memories. He remembers everything about his life before he arrived in Hisui. He mentioned frantically asking help from someone else who's in similar situation as him, but wasn't able to help him. He talked about how he tried to find a way to go back home, years and years of trying, but nothing worked. And so he went back to Hisui and spent the rest of his life there.
The further part of letter directly addressed someone, as if meant to read by that person. He talked about how he missed this person so much, ever since he regained his memory he couldn't stop thinking of them, how he yearns to hear their voice and hold them in his hands again. How it kills him every time he failed in his attempts go back home. How he eventually accepted that he had to stay in Hisui forever.
In final parts of the letter, he told that person not to worry about him, because even though it hurts, he can manage, and he have friends and pokemon that he can rely on. He tells them to take care of themselves and their pokemon, and as much as he had to adjust to living without them, this person also needs to do the same. And even though they are apart, as long as they draw breath, they will always be together.
Recent restoration works has revealed that letter starts with 'Dear Emmet,'
