12- Jigglypuff
AN: Quick beginning note here. First off, you'll notice that these next couple of chapters will be out of order. This is because it works better for the narrative that I'm trying to string together. If you're particular about reading order (like I am, which makes it hard to write like this lol) then you can wait and read in proper order, though it might get confusing. Also, I seem to have gotten a DM from someone with a full mailbox, so I can't reply. However, to answer your question if you're reading this, or for whoever else was wondering about this: I definitely take requests, which you can either comment or DM me about, and if I like it, I'll do my best with it. Now, onto the secret characters!!
The pink pokemon watched in awe as it saw a Pikachu materialize from nowhere. It was currently the middle of the night, on route 3 of the Kanto region. A place no electric-type has ever been to, even most trainers never came around here if they had such strong pokemon, there would be no point with all the weak ones around here.
Jigglypuff was aware of this, and she always hoped that she'd someday be caught by a trainer and become one of the most powerful pokemon.
She was the only one in the area that was awake, so she alone watched as the mouse scurried off, likely to find some wild pokemon to fight against.
In a burst of inspiration, the Jigglypuff ran out after Pikachu, hoping to fight, wanting a taste of that power. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as she planned. She ran as fast as she could, but she couldn't go nearly as quickly as his sprint. It didn't take very long before the yellow pokemon was completely out of sight. However, Jigglypuff was determined. She kept going until she was completely out of energy. When she looked around, she was very far from her home, and she had no idea how to get back. She wasn't scared though, this was just the first step to achieving her dream.
And so she went, exploring the region with no particular destination in mind, battle pokemon all over. Her journey was much like Pikachu's, except that without a giant, omnipotent hand to guide her, she had to train herself, she lost a good amount of battles, and she never got that emotional attachment to anybody, making her much more hardened and angry.
As she went on, she knew she'd meet the Pikachu again one day, and knowing how fast she'd need to go in order to catch up this time, she developed her roll attack, which allowed her to match speeds with most opponents.
After nearly a year, Jigglypuff had reached the end of the line. At this point she could take on any pokemon she fought, and honestly wasn't sure what more she could do to better herself. As she contemplated, she heard a familiar squeaking coming from an opening in the forest. She looked through the trees and saw the same Pikachu as before, looking to be in deep thought.
Now was finally her chance to prove herself. Fearing he'd run off immediately, she charged up her roll, and sped off toward him. However, out of nowhere, she was blinded by a blue light.
The moment she could see again, she was rolling full speed down a hill, the opposite direction of the Pikachu. She panicked, having no idea how to stop, until she suddenly smacked right into something.
"YOW!!" The figure screamed, turning around. A man in green stared at the pink ball in fascination and fear.
AN: So now that we're one chapter into the secret characters, I'll give a quick overview: next will be Luigi, then Captain Falcon, then Ness. After that though, I want it to be known that I will be doing the tournament itself, and I would absolutely love it if people gave me ideas for who should fight each other, who will win those fights, and who will be the overall champion, although I do have my own ideas if nobody gives me anything. I look forward to the feedback!
