Subway Boss Ingo (Japanese: サブウェイマスターノボリ Subway Master Nobori) is one of the leaders of the Battle Subway in Pokémon Black and White, along with Emmet.

In the games

Ingo can be battled in a single battle on the Single and Super Single lines and with Emmet in a tag battle on the Multi and Super Multi lines. One of the possible reasons why Ingo runs the Single trains is because they are the oldest train cars (according to the games), which is relative on how Ingo is the oldest of the siblings.

• When defeated

"Bravo!! Really excellent! The best combination of you and your Pokémon. It is incredible! When you and someone else combine, your engine powers something special! If you like, please challenge us with a different combination."

In the anime

Ingo in the anime

Ingo made his debut appearance at the end of Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief! along with Emmet where they detected Team Rocket's 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 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 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, where they 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, who were using Tepig and Pansage respectively. Despite Ash and Cilan pushing their hardest, they were finally defeated as Ingo's Chandelure stopped the two Pokémon with Psychic, so Emmet's Eelektross was able to knock them out with a Thunderbolt.

Ingo is referred to as "big brother" by Emmet indicating that he's the older of the twins.

Ingo in Pokémon Adventures

Ingo, along with his brother, Emmet, are first seen walking around the Gear Station. Later, they are introduced as the Subway Bosses of 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.

Later, when White is invited to take part in the Battle Subway, she boards the train with the Subway Bosses in order to get stronger. Because of their odd, almost robotic behavior, White seems to be afraid of them.
