===Main series===
Ingo made his debut appearance at the end of ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'' along with {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}}, where they detected that {{TRT}} was tampering with the track switches. In ''[[BW046|The Beartic Mountain Feud!]]'' the pair went in search of what or who was causing these disturbances and they caught a glimpse of two figures—[[Jessie]] and [[James]]—before they disappeared into the shadows.
[[File:Ingo anime.png|thumb|250px|Ingo in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ingo is an old acquaintance of {{an|Cilan}}’s, having first met at a rail enthusiasts convention. Ingo is referred to as "big brother" by Emmet in the Japanese version of the {{pkmn|anime}}, indicating that he is the older twin.


In ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' and ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground!]]'', Ingo and his brother met {{Ash}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Iris}} as the subway they were riding had stopped. After Pokémon had been stolen from the Pokémon Center, Ingo and Emmet teamed up with the trio to stop Team Rocket and retrieve all the stolen Pokémon.

Ingo and his brother reappeared in ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', where they helped a young girl, [[Erina]], locate her lost {{p|Axew}}. Afterwards, they rewarded Ash and Cilan's good deed by having a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against them. Despite Ash and Cilan pushing their hardest, they were finally defeated when Ingo's Chandelure stopped their Pokémon with {{m|Psychic}}, so that Emmet's {{p|Eelektross}} could finish them off with {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Ingo, along with Emmet, made an appearance in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' as part of a fantasy made up by [[Soren and Rocko|Soren]], who boasted that both he and his brother [[Soren and Rocko|Rocko]] had beaten the Subway Bosses in a Tag Battle. However, this claim was quickly disproven by Rocko.

====Character====
Ingo and his brother Emmet are markedly similar. They are both composed and precise in manner, important attributes to his role as one of the {{tc|Subway Boss}}es. This also extends into Ingo's {{pkmn|battle}} strategy. He often takes the lead, creating an opening for Emmet to attack.

As the three travel, White is pitted against Virtual Trainers while the twins evaluate her progress.

This behavior scares White, which forces Ingo to repeatedly apprehend his brother and drag him away.

  • Before battle
"Having a battle in a place like this is a little irregular, but this must've happened for a reason. Battling in a different place will let me see different scenery, and I might learn something, too. Now, Emmet, if you have something to add, please!"

"Bravo!! What you showed us is the spark of Trainers. However, let me say just one thing. Please move on to an even greater goal."

Main series

Ingo in the anime

Ingo is an old acquaintance of Cilan’s, having first met at a rail enthusiasts convention. Ingo is referred to as "big brother" by Emmet in the Japanese version of the anime, indicating that he is the older twin.

Ingo debuted at the end of Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief! along with Emmet, where they detected that Team Rocket was tampering with the track switches. In The Beartic Mountain Feud!, the pair went in search of what or who was causing these disturbances and they caught a glimpse of two figures—Jessie and James—before they disappeared into the shadows.

In Crisis from the Underground Up! and Battle for the Underground!, Ingo and his brother met Ash, Cilan, and Iris as the train they were riding had stopped. After Pokémon had been stolen from the Pokémon Center, Ingo and Emmet teamed up with the group to coordinate a counter strategy to stop Team Rocket and retrieve all the stolen Pokémon.

In Lost at the Stamp Rally!, Ingo and his brother helped a young girl, Erina, locate her lost Axew. Afterwards, they rewarded Ash and Cilan's good deed by having a Tag Battle against them. Despite Ash and Cilan pushing their hardest, they were finally defeated when Ingo's Chandelure stopped their Pokémon with Psychic, so that Emmet's Eelektross could finish them off with Thunderbolt.

Ingo, along with Emmet, appeared in A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team! as part of a fantasy made up by Soren, who boasted that both he and his brother Rocko had beaten the Subway Bosses in a Tag Battle. However, this claim was quickly disproved by Rocko.

Ingo appeared in a cameo in the ending credits of Genesect and the Legend Awakened, and in Cilan's flashback in Survival of the Striaton Gym!.

Character

Ingo and his brother Emmet are markedly similar. They are both composed and precise in manner, important attributes to his role as one of the Subway Bosses. This also extends into Ingo's battle strategy. He often takes the lead, creating an opening for Emmet to attack.

Pokémon

Ingo's Chandelure
Chandelure
Chandelure was used to aid in retrieving the stolen Pokémon from Team Rocket in Battle For The Underground!.

It appeared again in Lost at the Stamp Rally! alongside Emmet's Eelektross in a Tag Battle against Cilan and Ash. While Eelektross was bearing the brunt of the attacks, Chandelure used Smog to stop Pansage from firing a Solar Beam. Ingo and Emmet then took charge of the match, ultimately winning.

It also appeared in a fantasy in A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!, and in a flashback in Survival of the Striaton Gym!.

Chandelure's known moves are Psychic, Will-O-Wisp, and Smog.

Pokémon Adventures

Ingo in Pokémon Adventures

Ingo debuts in the Black & White arc. He, along with his brother Emmet, is first seen walking around Gear Station. The are later properly introduced as the Subway Bosses for the newly created Battle Subway to Black and White. According to the Mayor of Nimbasa City, they were recruited by him because of their strength. White later decides to take part in a test run of the Battle Subway, which she uses as a way to learn how to become a Trainer.

As the three travel, White is pitted against Virtual Trainers while the twins evaluate her progress. Emmet's love of battling and impatience leads to him constantly ask White to win 20 consecutive battles so that they can have a battle. This behavior scares White, which forces Ingo to repeatedly apprehend his brother and drag him away.

Sometime later, the train arrives at Anville Town, the final stop. At this point, White's skills have improved to the point where she can battle one of the Subway Bosses. Ingo has a battle with White while Emmet referees. The battle ends in a tie, much to Ingo's frustration. After stepping out for a bit, White returns with Bianca, a friend of hers. White asks the twins to take her to Castelia City so that she can help Bianca with her troubles. Afterward, White returns to continue her training.

After more traveling, White finishes her training and goes her separate ways from the Subway Bosses.

Pokémon

Ingo's Klinklang
Klinklang
Klinklang is Ingo's only known Pokémon. It was first seen next to Ingo while White was testing the Battle Subway. During Ingo's battle against White, Klinklang was paired up against White's Servine. By jamming its minigears with leaves, White gained an opening to attack. However, when Servine attacks, both Pokémon are knocked out from the attack, making the battle a tie.
