Hey just thought of another au.

Gris was transported into the distortion world and acts as its guardian and navigator, when someone stumbles from the other side. He spent years there. Dawn(protaginst) and Ingo stumbled upon him when searching for Giratina (post Volo battle) and while getting used to civilization again falls for Ingo and they act as Dawns legal guardians(uncles). His white hair had grown long with nothing to cut.

Got the idea from the reverse world Emmet comic a while back.

The symbol is Giratina's mark

DISTORTION AU YOU SAY

My take would be that Gris got stuck there while Arceus was trying to yeet them into the past, and had struck their head upon entering the realm. Giratina healed them, and over time due to the distorted nature of the place, their injured warped and now are a warped version of their old self.

It's still the same ole Gris Skul, just with one funky eye, looks like a hobo, and cannot remember what home looked like or where it was, having their memories still but they were murky at best.

He acts as a guide for others, not wanting people to end up like they did, and guides them back to reality before it's too late for them.

Then with Ingo and Dawn, they figure out that they were suppose to go to a place called Unova before ending up here, and leaves the realm to go back to the present.

Then cue a cute/sad slice of life of Gris and Ingo helping each other to figure out who they are again, becomes friends and Gris keeps the long hair. Dawn stays with them and eventually they're end up being a lovely, strange, but a lovely little family. Dawn and her train crazy and punk hobo uncles <3

And even after it's been years, Gris still has the strange eye and the mark on their back, but they feel so at home again.
