The Song of Two Jigglypuffs

Prompt: The Pokémon Jigglypuff has a very special ability with its singing. When it sings, Pokemon or people listening feel tired and they fall asleep, resulting in Jigglypuff getting angry and drawing on their faces. In this story, a 17 year old girl named Jordan and her 4 Pokemon, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Togepi, and Sobble discover another Jigglypuff species and fall into sleep from it singing.

On a tranquil evening in the vibrant fields of Verdant Vale, a young girl named Jordan strolled hand-in-hand with her four Pokémon—Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Togepi, and Sobble. The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm golden hue over the landscape, contrasting beautifully with the green and blues of the surrounding fields. Jordan was filled with excitement. She had heard rumors of a rare Pokémon that had been spotted nearby—a unique species of Jigglypuff known as Lullaby Jigglypuff. Unlike its common counterpart, this Jigglypuff was said to possess an even more powerful and enchanting singing voice, capable of lulling both Pokémon and trainers alike into deep sleep. As the group wandered through the fields, Jigglypuff bounced playfully beside Jordan, its round pink body contrasting against the lush grass. “Don’t you think it’s exciting? Another Jigglypuff!” Jordan exclaimed, glancing down at her partner. With a contented “Jiggly!” the little creature nodded, its large eyes sparkling with joy. It loved the idea of meeting another one of its kind, but a flicker of apprehension danced in its expression. The last time it had sung its lullaby, everyone had slept soundly, and it had awoken to find everyone had drawn silly faces on one another. “Come on, Jigglypuff! Let’s go find it!” chirped Togepi, bouncing excitedly atop Jordan’s shoulder. Sobble, still shy and timid, squinted at the lowering sun but was drawn into the adventure by Pikachu’s energetic leaps. As the group traversed deeper into the vale, the air became thick with the sweet scent of flowers. It was an otherworldly ambience that hinted at the magic of the Pokémon realm. They arrived at a small clearing surrounded by trees, where fluttering leaves danced in the gentle evening breeze. “Look! Over there!” Pikachu shouted, pointing with its little forepaw. Just ahead, a shimmering silhouette caught their eyes. Almost ethereal, it was undeniably another Jigglypuff—but it glowed with a soft, enchanting light, a stark contrast to Jordan’s Jigglypuff. “That must be the Lullaby Jigglypuff!” Jordan gasped, her heart racing with excitement. Before they could approach, Lullaby Jigglypuff began to sing, an enchanting melody that floated through the air like a gentle whisper. The delightful harmonies interwove with the sounds of nature, wrapping around them in a soothing embrace. Jordan felt the tension in her body begin to dissolve, and the world around her seemed to melt into a serene stillness. One by one, her Pokémon began to nod off. Togepi’s eyelids drooped, and Sobble leaned against a nearby tree, his eyes growing heavy. Even Pikachu, typically so energetic, found it hard to resist. Jordan struggled to stay awake but could feel the weight of sleep pulling her down. As her eyes fluttered, she caught a glimpse of Jigglypuff, standing shyly beside its new counterpart, its expression a mixture of wonder and jealousy. “Jiggly…” it murmured softly, sensing its friends succumbing to the melodious lullaby. But as they drifted off into a peaceful slumber, Jordan couldn’t help but notice a change in the atmosphere. The moment was tranquil yet filled with an uncanny tension; the Lullaby Jigglypuff’s song seemed to resonate with an energy that felt different, almost possessive. Then, from somewhere deep inside her subconscious, an alarming thought stirred. What if this Jigglypuff drew on faces too? Was it perhaps more mischievous than her own? In an effort to fight off the impending sleep, Jordan called out, “Jigglypuff! We need to wake up!” Just as she uttered the words, darkness enveloped her vision, and she surrendered to the sweet song’s embrace. When Jordan finally opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was the familiar green of the field—but something was off. Laughter echoed in the air, and she sat up quickly, her heart racing. “Guys! Wake up!” she called out, slightly panicked. Slowly, her Pokémon stirred. First, Sobble blinked awake, blinking away sleep. Togepi rolled over, letting out a soft yawn. But when Jigglypuff woke, it gasped in horror. “Jiggly!” it wailed, looking at their faces. The others followed Jigglypuff’s gaze, and their eyes widened in shock. Pikachu’s face was adorned with colorful squiggles, like a rainbow had exploded all over it. Togepi had bright polka dots lining its cheeks, and Sobble, oh dear, had a pair of exaggerated mustaches drawn on its face. Jordan burst into laughter, doubling over as she realized her own reflection was equally comical. Bright streaks of pink and blue colored her cheeks, and a large smiley face had been drawn across her own forehead. “Looks like we’ve been art attacked!” she chuckled, wiping tears of laughter from her eyes. “Who could have done this?” Before they could further ponder the mystery, the lush grass began to rustle. The Lullaby Jigglypuff bounced into the clearing, looking just as mischievous as it had seemed while singing. Its eyes lit up upon seeing their adorned faces, and it began to giggle. “What a prankster!” Jordan exclaimed, shaking her head. “But, it’s time to awaken, sleepyhead! How about a non-lullaby song to celebrate?” A moment of contemplation passed through the little Lullaby Jigglypuff’s expression as Jordan extended a hand. With a twinkle in its eye, it hopped closer and sang once more—but this time the melody was lively, filled with energy and laughter. Jordan clapped her hands in delight and her Pokémon began to dance, shaking off their sleepy endeavors. As they moved together, Jordan realized that not all Jigglypuffs were the same. They each possessed their own special quirks and charm, just like people. In that moment, surrounded by newfound friends and laughter, Jordan felt a sense of joy and companionship in the vast world they explored. Clad in doodles and silliness, they cherished the magic of not just Pokémon, but the bonds they had forged along their journey—one song at a time.
