Jingle

Jingle is an antagonist of Nightfall, appearing in the Techno City Arc of Volume 4.

## Appearance

Jingle was a robotic version of a Stygian Kommo-o. She was much taller than the normal height of a Kommo-o, as she was meant to be a Totem Pokémon. Each of her hands had one, thick yellow spike hidden inside, which she could expose to cause harm.

Her right eye had been slashed, exposing the black-colored endoskeleton underneath. Her iris on this side was red and small, and her sclera was completely black. Right before her death, her left eye was slashed out as well, even tearing through the armor on her head.

## Personality

The Kommo-o was quick-witted and merciless; she wasn’t one to hesitate and would kill anybody, no matter the situation. She hated to waste time, and would rather do things on her own if her followers couldn’t keep up. Her most defining quality was her pyromania. Jingle loved to set fire with her flamethrower to anything and anyone if she got the chance. She seemed to be annoyed about the constant clanging her scales made as she walked around.

The Dragon-type absolutely despised Shiny Pokémon, and would do anything to kill them. She believed they were abominations to the world and were not worth keeping. She said that their colors break the logic of nature and must be punished. Jingle hated things that were out of order, and Shinies were one of them in her eyes.

Jingle never approved of love shown by anybody, and was rather disgusted by it. To her, it was a waste of time and there was no good outcome from it.

## History

Jingle lived in a special place by the name of Cyber, where only robotic Pokémon could be found. From a Jangmo-o, all the way to a Kommo-o, she was raised by a Dragonite, Fafnir. She knew right from wrong, and was generally a good kid to be around.

As Fafnir was leader of Cyber, he had planned to pass this leadership down to Jingle when she was old enough and had proved herself worthy. On the day of the ceremony, something snapped in Jingle’s programming. She went hostile. The Kommo-o released other citizens of Cyber who had also gone haywire, and who were previously chained up and isolated from everyone else because of their violence. She killed Fafnir on the spot, and left her followers to their own devices. Things were never the same since, and the population of Shiny Pokémon decreased drastically, until there was only one left.

She discovered that the last Shiny had gone into hiding; a Noivern. She made it her goal to hunt down and kill him, but her plans were thwarted when a living Shiny Gallade appeared in the city. Jingle postponed her goal of killing the Noivern, and instead went after this blue Gallade, earning the scar on the side of her face by him in the process.

### Death

After Cyber was destroyed and its inhabitants were freed, Glaze and his friends returned to Gilded City, believing that Jingle was dead. However, when they got there, they were proven wrong. The Kommo-o had managed to separate Infinity from Necrozma, captured both of them, and most of the Prism Followers. She had rebuilt her own followers, and the rest of Shadow City’s residents had gone into hiding.

An intense battle unfolded; the Prism Followers teamed up with the Alliance to take back their city. Necrozma was returned to his Dawn Wings form as a truce between him and Glaze. The Shiny Noivern was murdered by Jingle, and Lightning had broken his arm. At the peak of the battle, Glaze struck her down in his Lunar Form. She was shown no mercy from him and was killed without any hesitation, just as she did to those she disliked.

## Additional Information

She held a Kommonium Z, though it was actually embedded inside her body. She can scan other Pokémon to determine their exact stats, Abilities, and Nature. As mentioned previously, her hands each had a yellow spike hidden inside. She could reveal these spikes at any time.

## Trivia

* She was the only Pokémon in Cyber who was colored to look like a Dark Pokémon. She was also the only Totem in the city, and the only Totem character overall.
* She has a slight Australian accent, as it was requested by others. Though, she rarely uses any slang that usually comes with the accent.
* Jingle was originally going to be normal-colored, and was planned to die during the destruction of Cyber, before being revived. When she had been revived, she would have become a Corrupt Pokémon afterwards, similar to Zero when he was revived as a Corrupt as well.
* Her Stealth Rock used to be Leer, which used to be Iron Defense.
