Theres a voice in the distance... so calming and lulling... am I dreaming?
I must be... no human has such a voice... It's...making me sleepy...

....
.....
"Jigglypuff..."

I woke at the sudden appearance of such a clear voice in my head, and looked around with a slight yawn.
I peered at my pokeballs on the floor, then around at the room I had rented for the hotel, it was a fair size, decorated with pokemon wallpaper- it seemed this room was covered with Jigglypuff.

I checked out and asked the lady about the nearby woods, and what kinds of pokemon lived there, she said it was filled to the rim with none other than Jigglypuff.
I sighed, but figured If I could catch one it might be worth it.

I walked slowly to the forest, taking in the scenery, my Gardevoir walking beside me.
I turned and smiled at my Gardevoir, who cried out in reply to a smile I gave her, we stopped for a moment, and I told her the plan was to catch a Jigglypuff, she nodded in understanding.

Carefully we jumped over a few minor cliffs, and climbed over rocks. We found ourselves in the forest, and I shivered when I saw it.

There- right in front of me- was a pidgey.
It was torn to pieces, and half eaten. I began passing it.

My heart wrenched when I heard it weakly call out.

"Pid...gey..."

Gardevoir looked upset, and I bent down to the pidgey, not sure what to do. I didn't know how it was still alive, or even if it would live, I took out a pokeball, which caused the pidgey to look nervous.

I looked at thepidgey with kindness.
"look, I'm going to put you in here- only for a little while, I'll get you healed up, and then you can go home"

The pidgey calmed as I easily put him into the pokeball. I nodded at Gardevoir, wewere in the middle of the forest, and I didn't know how long the pidgey had- if anything at all.

We began running through the forest, when we came upon a Jigglypuff, ouncing along carefree.
Figuring it was on the way, I quickly threw a quickball. The ball stayed shut and I picked it up on the way to the pokemon centre.

We made it and I ran inside, with the pidgey's pokeball in hand.
Nurse Joy looked shocked.
"W-what happened to this pidgey!?"

I huffed and caught my breath
"d-don't know... found it... forest..."

She looked concerned and passed the pokeball to chansey who started taking care of the pidgey, she called officer Jenny- whatever or whoever had hurt the pidgey was dangerous.

Jenny arrived shortly and questioned me about any nearby pokemon when I found the pidgey, I was about to tell her about the Jigglypuff when something forced me not to.
I don't know what this strange force is, but it caused me to do so.

Jenny left shortly, and Nurse Joy came out, her face said it all- the Pidgey hadn't survived.
I know it was only a wild pokemon, but I felt the tears start, and they wouldn't stop.
How long had that pidgey stayed there, all alone? waiting to die?
My Gardevoir embraced me sadly, in an attempt to cheer me up- I was always told as a child that my only weakness was that I sometimes cared too much for pokemon.
I wiped my tears, and thanked nurse Joy for trying, I know she tried her hardest, she always did.

I remembered the Jigglypuff and put it up front, walking along a few routes we were challenged.
I let the Jigglypuff out, and used sing.
For some strange reason, 3 turns later the other trainers pokemon fainted.
I took out the pokedex, and it stated nothing out of the ordinary for this jigglypuff.

That night when I was asleep, I heard a voice in my head again...

"A...B...C...D...E...F...G...I...Will...KILL...YOUR...FAMILY..."

I woke with a start, in a cold sweat.
I never had dreams like that, I looked down to my pokeballs, everyone was in place.
I laid back down, but I didn't sleep anymore that night.

The next morning I called mom, and she answered cheerily, my fears about the dream were put to rest, and I continued.
I went back along the same route to see if any of the other trainers wanted a rematch.

I was shocked when I saw the yellow police tape- multiple bodies littered the Route, all of them the trainers I had battled.
I fell to my knees with the shock, and Jenny noticed, she came over and helped me to my feet.
even to this day I don't know if it was the shock of seeing so many dead bodies that caused me to fall, or if it was the realization...

I looked at the pokeball which held my Jigglypuff... faintly... just faintly...

I could see blood, smeared on it.

That day I didn't battle anyone, I kept the Jigglypuff in the back of my party. I slept in a different hotel, in hopes maybe the dream had been caused by the place.

"A...B...C...D...E...F...G... I... WILL...KILL...YOUR...FAMILY..."

Again I woke with a start, and a cold sweat.
I looked to my pokeballs tosee one of them gone- the Jigglypuff.
I looked around fearfully, and then I suddenly fell asleep.

When I woke up, everything was normal.
I picked up the Jigglypuff's pokeball, and headed to the next town.
When I reached the route I was once again shocked.
Everyone along this route had been killed too.

I opened the pokeball of the Jigglypuff, it's back was turned to me as it was munching on something...
"J-jigglypuff...?"

Suddenly it turned, revealing it's eyes to be large, the pupils were red and the rest of the eye black, even the whites.

I shivered as my eyes wandered to it's mouth and what it was eating.
Sharp teeth stuck out in every direction, and in it's hands it held a human head- half eaten, the eye still open and staring.

I felt the bile build as the brain splattered onto the ground, I backed up a few feet, before hearing a strange screech- the Jigglypuff was screeching, and using sing.

I suddenly covered my ears, knowing I couldn't listen to it or I would die.

When I opened my eyes, The Jigglypuff was inches away from my face.

Gardevoir suddenly pushed me aside, and attempted to create a black hole, the Jigglypuff promptly used a normal hit, I watched with terror as Gardevoir and Jigglypuff fought.

Gardevoir... Gardevoir died that night, and my mother was mysteriously killed 3 years later...and the Jigglypuff...


It still roams free.
Jigglypuff scares me now.

That quote "ABCDEFG I will kill your family" is from a Dane Cook comedy skit making fun of a toy called "Speak and Spell"

Also for anyone wondering Perish song is also what I call the Jigglypuff, it just seems kind of right
