The Pokémon Diva Idol Project’s team discovered traces of Jigglypuff in a town near Mauville City. At the time, Jigglypuff had appeared in Trick Master’s Trick House and caused quite a commotion there.
Afterward, just as Jigglypuff was about to leave, Hiyoko caught up with it.
Faced with Hiyoko suddenly appearing and trying to persuade it to stay, Jigglypuff originally wanted to greet her with its singing, but Hiyoko hurriedly stopped it.
Hiyoko had conducted extensive research on this Jigglypuff and knew just how powerful the hypnotic effect of its singing was. Naturally, she didn’t dare listen to it directly. Otherwise, if she fell asleep and Jigglypuff left, it would be difficult to find again.
Using sweet words and plenty of food and treats, Hiyoko managed to keep Jigglypuff around. After bringing it into the truck and showing it various singing-related equipment, Jigglypuff was quickly attracted to them. Meanwhile, Terrance was also hurrying over at full speed.
“Jiggly~puff!”
Strutting confidently through the Diva Project team’s truck, Jigglypuff’s eyes darted around as it inspected the singing equipment hanging on the walls one by one.
“So? If you like them, I can give all of them to you.”
Hiyoko carefully followed behind Jigglypuff, continuously promising benefits.
“Jiggly~puff…”
Hearing that, Jigglypuff was delighted. However, almost instinctively, it picked up its microphone and fell into deep thought.
While Jigglypuff was lost in thought, Hiyoko was also examining the microphone that never seemed to leave its hand.
A wild Pokémon carrying a microphone everywhere was already strange enough… and to be honest, this thing didn’t really look like a microphone. It looked more like a marker pen.
“Jigglypuff, can I take a look at your microphone? In exchange, once all my friends arrive later, everyone can listen to your singing together.”
Wanting to inspect the microphone more closely, Hiyoko gently asked.
Perhaps because Hiyoko had left a good impression on it, Jigglypuff did not refuse. After thinking for a moment, it handed it over directly. However, its gaze remained fixed on the microphone the entire time, as though it was afraid Hiyoko would not return it once she got hold of it.
“This is…”
After receiving Jigglypuff’s microphone, Hiyoko became even more certain of her suspicion. This was clearly just a marker pen. However, after examining it carefully, she made a startling discovery. Attached to the tip of the marker pen was a miniature voice changer.
“Jigglypuff… where did you get this thing?” Hiyoko asked in surprise, pointing at the miniature voice changer on the marker pen.
The craftsmanship was exceptionally delicate. More importantly, the miniature voice changer fit perfectly with the marker pen. Whether it was a coincidence or not, she had no idea.
“Jiggly~puff??” Jigglypuff froze for a moment. After thinking about it, three figures appeared in its mind.
A duo dressed in white uniforms and a Meowth. That voice changer component seemed to have been removed from a voice-changing microphone they had made and attached to the marker.
After recalling it once more, Jigglypuff confirmed that it remembered correctly… that was exactly what had happened.
Moreover, ever since using this assembled marker pen, Jigglypuff felt that its singing had become even more perfect…
This marker pen absolutely could not be lost!
Hiyoko’s question instantly strengthened Jigglypuff’s resolve. It would not be swayed by temptation. No matter how many new microphones there were, it would never give up this self-assembled marker pen in its hand.
“Jigglypuff, Jigglypuff…”
Before long, Jigglypuff took the marker pen back and continued its tour.
…
…
“Mr. Terrance, you’ve arrived.”
After Terrance reached the location, the project team’s staff immediately brought him to Hiyoko’s side.
At that moment, Jigglypuff was exchanging singing experiences with Eevee, Lapras, Cherrim, and Popplio!!
Jigglypuff was surprised to discover that these Pokémon actually sang quite well. Unfortunately… compared to itself, they were still a little lacking.
“Jiggly~puff.”
After listening to all four Pokémon sing, Jigglypuff could no longer suppress itself. Eager to show off its own talent, its round face turned bright red as it prepared to negotiate with Hiyoko and claim the grand stage she had promised earlier.
“Don’t be in such a hurry, Jigglypuff. The stage is still being set up. You’ll be able to sing soon. Before that, let me introduce someone to you. This is Terrance, the person willing to provide you with a stage to sing on.”
After Hiyoko led Terrance inside, Jigglypuff raised its head. Although it didn’t know who Terrance was, that didn’t stop it from approving of him, all because of Hiyoko’s words—
The person providing it with a stage to sing on.
As a Pokémon that constantly pursued singing, nothing was more attractive to Jigglypuff than an audience and a stage. Upon hearing that the stage was still being prepared, it reluctantly nodded and began looking forward to it.
“Hello, Jigglypuff.”
At the same time, Terrance’s eyes lit up when he saw Jigglypuff. Its voice could not really be described as particularly beautiful, but its tone carried an exceptionally strong hypnotic effect. Even its normal speech was like that. Ordinary people might not notice it, but Terrance’s psychic perception far surpassed that of normal people, allowing him to detect the faint psychic fluctuations with a hypnotic effect in Jigglypuff’s voice.
And that was only during ordinary conversation. What about when it used Sing move?
“Jigglypuff, Jigglypuff.”
Jigglypuff smiled and waved its marker pen, treating it as a greeting to Terrance.
It didn’t take long for the stage to be completed. Below it stood the audience: the project team’s staff members and their Pokémon, the four Pokémon from the Diva Project, and Terrance himself.
In addition, Terrance’s Gardevoir was also present.
Naturally, one could not listen to this Jigglypuff’s singing without preparation. Terrance had considered many methods, such as using a group of Pokémon with the Soundproof Ability as the audience, or having Mismagius temporarily block everyone’s hearing. However, none of those options felt particularly sincere.
After careful consideration, Terrance chose to have Gardevoir step forward.
The hypnotic power hidden within this Jigglypuff’s singing was indeed extremely strong. Moreover, whenever it sang, Jigglypuff only knew how to give it its all and had no idea how to hold back. No wonder it had such difficulty finding an audience. But now, the situation had changed. Even if Jigglypuff performed at full power—
On the magnificent stage, lights flickered brilliantly. Layers of hazy pink mist drifted across the floor, making the stage resemble a fairyland .
Standing in the center of the pink mist, Jigglypuff felt incredibly comfortable. This was the best stage it had ever seen. The long wait had truly been worth it.
Once everything was ready, Jigglypuff looked at the crowd below and revealed a long-lost smile. Raising its marker pen, it began to sing:
“Jiggly… Puff… Jigglypuff… Jigglypuff… Puff…… Puff… Jigglypuff… Puff… Jigglypuff… Jigglypuff… Puff…… Puff… Jigglypuff… Puff… Jigglypuff… Jigglypuff… Puff…… Puff… Jigglypuff… Puff… Jigglypuff… Jigglypuff… Puff……”
