Jigglypuff (anime)/Anime/History/OS/Kanto

Jigglypuff's first appearance was in The Song of Jigglypuff, where it was found standing on a stump. tried to capture it with her, but decided otherwise when she learned that the Jigglypuff could not. After and  had thwarted Jessie, James, and 's plan to capture Jigglypuff, they agreed to restore the Balloon Pokémon's voice. They succeeded when gave it a piece of fruit which soothed its throat. Now capable of singing, it performed for them, putting everyone within hearing range to sleep. This upset Jigglypuff, which angrily dug into Ash's backpack and pulled out a marker which it used to draw on the faces of everyone who fell asleep. When Ash and his friends awoke, they saw that it was still unhappy. After a similar failure with their Pokémon ( appeared to have succeeded at first but was soon discovered to merely be sleeping with its eyes open), Ash and his friends promised to find someone who could listen to its song without falling asleep. Later, it sang for the people in Neon Town, putting the whole town to sleep (and scribbling on everyone's face afterward). Jigglypuff then followed the gang throughout their journey across Kanto, having set a goal to accomplish what it had failed to in the first episode: to have someone listen to its song in its entirety without falling asleep. It first reappeared in Riddle Me This, where it sang most of its song, putting and his cheerleaders to sleep.

In Beach Blank Out Blastoise!, Jigglypuff became stuck inside a 's water cannon. Blastoise washed up on its island home, and eventually, the island's and  drifted off to sleep from Jigglypuff's song. Later, Ash's Squirtle rescued Jigglypuff before 's submarine exploded.

Jigglypuff's microphone marker was taken by a group of, who were stealing items to construct their own spacecraft, in Clefairy Tales. The Clefairy were later defeated by Jigglypuff's ferocious onslaught of attacks.

Jigglypuff's singing eventually proved to be useful after it summoned an ancient Jigglypuff from a bell in The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis!. The giant Jigglypuff was then able to put a rampaging and, both of them also giant, to sleep.
