What if the player, Laventon, and Ingo didn't originate from Hisui, but from another region in the future.

Points that add up

Ingo's lines

• The Electrode known as the Lord of the Hollow is somewhat different from the Electrode I recall.

• I recall, faintly, that I had a partner once. A precious one. Its name escapes me, but I remember that it wielded flames with mastery. If only it were here, I'm sure it would light the way, luring us onward..."

• "I'm starting to recall a man who looked... like me. We'd battle and discuss Pokémon, I think... The words "I like winning more than anything else" flashed through my mind just now..."

• "Professor Laventon told me how you fell to this land from the sky. For my part, I simply found myself one day here in Hisui, a region whose name I'd never heard... All I could remember was my own name.

• "What am I saying? Hidden moves? There are no such things in Hisui, surely... Yet I feel as though I was on the cusp of remembering something just now... Just who was I before I came to Hisui? If you fell from the sky... you come from another world altogether, most likely.

And finally, Raichu's entries from LA and FR

• Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.

• It can discharge bursts of electricity exceeding 100,000 volts—a single strike with that amount of power would incapacitate one of the Copperajah of my homeland.
