Fan Fic

• Wherefore art thou Ingo? by Raynavan, ^{Archived version} (2022), When Ingo woke up, he was fairly Certain that he was not quite in the right shape. Not was he sure that it was normal to understand pokemon. But… how could that be, when he was clearly a Pokémon himself? Or: Ingo wakes up as an Absol with no memory. This is fine
• all that follows is true by johnchurch, ^{Archived version} (2022), On the first night that Ingo is taken in by the Pearl clan, Irida talks with him about the people they don't remember.
• what's a train by BreadLoafHeart, ^{Archived version} (2022), "It was hardly noticeable, but the rolling of the train over tracks was muted more than usual. The Battle Subway had reinforced hulls for durability and a degree of soundproofing, and the cars were quite large, yet it sounded distant. Further down the line didn't change the volume, his footsteps almost echoing down the vacant moving train. It sent a chill down his spine." AKA Ingo gets isekai'd along with a whole ass train. A so-called Distortion Train AU.
