Hello fans of Yo-Kai! This is the first chapter of my all-new Yo-Kai Watch story! So, I randomly saw an advert for the show and it looked pretty good, so I started to watch it, and soon I bought the game and finished it extremely quickly because it was so good! 3 And now I'm even replaying it because it's that good! :D Also, Nate is just such an adorable little thing! Awwwwww! Yeah, so I've decided to write this! It is mostly based on the game and it's main storyline, however I might add a little from the show. Also, Nate will get the Yo-Kai Watch, of course, but Katie as well! ;) Anyway, sorry for talking for so long! He he he he... Enjooooy! :)

Whisper! Yo-Kai – Watch!

Chapter One – YO-KAI WIKI!?

Nate's POV

Welcome to the World of Yo-Kai!

Yo-Kai Cadin and Yo-Kai Buhu!

I rubbed my eyes, rolling around in my bed. Stretching my arm out to turn off my piercing alarm, I yawned. "That went off like a million times already," I murmured. "Oh no wait..." I looked at the clock. "It was on snooze..." I sighed. "Wait... that means... AGGGGHHHH I'M LATE!" I shouted, jumping out of bed.

I threw on my clothes: just a plain red shirt and grey trousers, grabbed my net and hopped down the stairs. I rushed over to Mom in the kitchen. "Bye Mom, I'm gonna meet up with Katie, Bear and Eddie now," I said.

"Did you wake up late again?" she sighed.

I ran my hand through my hair. "He he he... maybe..."

"Alright, stay safe sweetie."

"Love you, Mom, bye!" I called, slipping on my shoes. I hastily ran out of the house.

Katie's POV

Bear, Eddie and I had been waiting in Triangle Park for a while and Nate still hadn't come. He overslept again, didn't he? I can never get him in order... geez...

A tired and unorganised Nate came running up to us, bumping into a lampost along the way. I sighed. "He he he, sorry I'm late!" he laughed nervously.

"Did you sleep to late?" I asked.

"Oh... uh... noooooooooo..."

"Then why the long no?"

"Uhhhhhhhh..."

"And why the long uhh?"

"Yeah I did," he admitted.

Nate's POV

"Hey, check out my bug collection!" Eddie said, showing off his collections of quite a few cool-looking bugs.

"Ha, that's pretty average compared to mine!" Bear bragged, showing off his collection of rare bugs.

Katie and I didn't speak. I hadn't actually caught any rare bugs... What about Katie?

"What about yours?" Eddie asked, pointing at us.

"Oh... I've only got these..." Katie showed her small collections of a few common bugs.

"I've got these," I said, showing my bugs.

"Woah, those are so... average..." Eddie murmured. "You really haven't found any rare bugs?"

"Not many," Katie muttered.

"You better collect some more for your summer project," Bear said.

"Nate, wanna collect some bugs with me?" Katie asked, turning to me.

I smiled. "YEEEEAAAHHH!" I cheered. Whooo! Bug-catching with Katie!

Bear and Eddie had suggested Mount Woodwild, as there were rumours about rare bugs around the area. Katie was so excited, she went running almost immediately.

"Hey wait! Katttiiiiee!" I called, running after her.

She paused and turned around. "Huh? Oh yeah, I forget you were super slow!" she laughed.

"Hey! No I'm not!"

"I beg to differ."

"Well... I'm sure I could beat you in a race!"

"Is that a challenge, bug boy?" she laughed.

"Bring it on!"

"First one to the Shrine wins!"

We entered the woods, and past the many, many trees were steps leading upwards. "Hey, these are so steep..." I muttered.

"Afraid?" she teased, already running ahead.

"No!" I continued to run up the steps.

At the top came a corner... and next was... more stairs...

"As if I'm not already tired out!" I moaned.

Katie kept on running however I was crawling up the steps... yeah, I sucked...

I finally reached the top, however as I expected, she was already there.

"I've been waiting a long long time," she laughed. "I told you you're slow!"

"No! I just... I just fell..." I lied, laughing sheepishly.

"Really?"

"...Yeah..."

"Really?"

"...Yeah..."

"You sure about that?"

"...Y-no."

"Good Nate!" She petted me on my head.

"Buhuhu!" a strange voice echoed through the woods.

"Huh-what was that...?" I muttered.

"What was what?" Katie asked.

"Oh... nothing... I just thought I heard something..."

Katie and I continued to walk forwards, where a fence blocked our way to go any further. "Looks like we can't go any further," Katie sighed. "Maybe there are some rare bugs around here..."

I nodded. I grabbed my net and began to look around.

"Ooh, it must be a green cicada!" I said, aiming my net at the bug. "Got it!"

"But it's not all that rare..." Katie murmured.

I paused, however when I was about to set it free, it started to glow a bright yellow. "Agh!"

Katie jumped forwards. "Woah, what is this bug?"

Before I could respond, the same light began to glow from the fence, and all of a sudden, it disappeared.

"AGH!" we shouted in unison.

"I guess this is an invitation to explore deeper into the forest," Katie said.

I nodded. "Let's go!"

Normal POV

"Hmm... If I were a rare bug, where would I be?" Nate murmured.

The two kids examined the forest, scanning for any rare bugs for their projects.

"Whoa! Look at the tree!" Katie exclaimed.

A grand tree towered above them, with vines and weeds growing up the trunk. In front of the tree stood a old and broken machine, with rusty balls of white and black inside. It looked like it hadn't been touched in years.

"Feed me..." a strange voice muttered.

"Huh!? What was that!?" Nate whispered in fear.

"Feed me... feed me..." the voice continued to sing.

"Nate, what is that!?" Katie tugged at his sleeve.

"Feed me, feed me..." Katie and Nate shook in fear. "Feed me, feed me! Feed me right now!"

"It wants us to feed it...?" Nate mumbled. He grabbed a coin from his pocket and approached the machine.

Hesitantingly, he put the coin in the strange machine. He slowly cranked the machine and took a step back. One of the old balls dropped down and fell out into his cupped hands. "What's that?" Katie questioned, walking up to Nate.

He tilted his head and opened the ball.

A flash of white light bursted out, and along with it was... a creature? A white ghost-like creature flew out of the ball and into the air. "Greetings, I am Whisper! I'm a Yo-Kai! Pleased to meet you! Charmed!" he laughed.

Nate's POV

The white ghost creature floated above us, it's wispy tail billowing. "Yo-what?" I muttered.

"Yo-Kai! Didn't you hear me?"

"Wha-whats a Yo-Kai...?" Katie mumbled.

The ghost creature laughed. "Oh, you kids! I remember that day 190 years ago like it was only yesterday!"

I raised an eyebrow.

"A monk was convinced I was some sort of evil spirit and sealed me in that thing!" He pointed at the ball I was holding. "Ugh, people need to learn some manners!"

"..."

"Oh, the Yo-manity!" he cried.

"Yo-manity?" I sighed.

"190 years! Can you believe it!? That's 19 decades! That's 2,280 months! That's 9,880 weeks! That's 69,397 days! That's-"

"Okay, we get it already!" I said, waving a hand in front of him.

I looked back at Katie.

"Let's leave! Don't break eye contact..." I whispered, backing away.

"HEY!" the creature shouted. "Where do you think you're going!? At least lemme finish my story first!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Well, we need to go and catch bugs, sooo..." Katie murmured.

"Ohohoh! Bugs, eh? Why settle for boring old bugs, may I ask?"

"Bugs aren't boring... are they?" I asked.

"Wouldn't you be interested in searching for some Yo-Kai instead?"

"You mean... there are more thingies like you!?"

"One, we aren't thingies, we are Yo-kai! And yes, there's more of us! Yo-Kai are everywhere!" he chuckled.

"Yo-Kai...?" Katie and I whispered in unison.

"Put aside those bug nets!" he ordered. "Why don't you try out these little beauties instead!?"

From the bright glowing of Whisper's hand appeared two watches; one pink necklace watch, with two hearts opposite each other, and one white with black designs on the straps. Both which had a smilar pattern of green, blue, pink and purple.

"These are the Yo-Kai Watches! Wearing these makes the impossible... possible..."

"Yo-Kai Watch...?" we murmured.

I strapped the watch onto my hand, and Katie's wrapped her's around her neck.

"You use this watch to see other Yo-Kai!" Whisper explained.

"Wait, wait, wait!" I said. "What if I don't wanna see them? I mean, I appreciate it... but, we're just interested in finding some bugs..." I laughed.

"Oh, come on now! Don't be lazy now! Try some adventure, some excitement!"

"I-" Before I could finish, I looked down to see our two watches glowing a bright yellow. "AGH!"

"What's happening!?" Katie questioned, holding her watch.

"Ohohoh, it must be your watches reacting to a nearby Yo-Kai! I'm getting some odd sensations from that tree over there..." He pointed to a small tree, bordering the large one. "Use the lense to seek out the Yo-Kai!"

"...Are we really gonna do this...?" Katie muttered.

"I guess we've got no other choice..."

Katie and I pushed the button on the side of the watch as Whisper told us. "Whoa! The bubble popped open!" I exclaimed.

"That's no bubble, it's a Yo-Kai Lens!"

"Yo-Kai Lens? So... we can see Yo-Kai with this?" Katie asked, examining her watch.

"Yep! Take a look through that beauty and you'll be able to see all the wonderful creatures!"

"I'm not entirely sure that wonderful is the right word..." I laughed sheepishly.

"Hey!" Whisper shouted. "Now, use the lens!"

Katie and I nodded.

A radiant blue light shone from our watches as we looked around for this Yo-Kai. "There!" Katie exclaimed. A downcast-looking blue bird with aqua-colored feathers on its midsection and pale yellow on the bottom, flew besides the tree, it's head hanging low and it's creepy face on its torso matching its expression.

"I was having such a nice nap... until you had to wake me..." she moaned in a depressing tone.

"Ughh... it's kinda creepy... what is that thing!?" I asked.

"This Yo-Kai is..." Whisper muttered. Whisper froze with an idiotic look on his ghost face.

"You... don't know?" I sighed.

"I thought you were a Yo-Kai," Katie said as she pointed to the dumb ghost.

"Hey! I know... this Yo-Kai is..." From what seemed like nowhere, he brought out a weird device thingy and hid in behind him. "Ah-hah! Buhu! This Yo-Kai is always bummed out. She causes a false feeling of good fortune, just to leave them depressed!"

"But you just read that..." I muttered. I grabbed it off him. "YO-KAI WIKI!?"

He grabbed it back with a nervous laugh. "HA HA HA! I am a noble Yo-Kai, I don't need to look things up!"

I sighed again. "Anyway..."

"Buhuhuhu!" the bird groaned.

"Huh!? That's the noise I heard! I must've heard Buhu earlier on!" I said.

"See? Yo-Kai are everywhere!" Whisper laughed.

"Well... I guess I need to get revenge on you now... ugh..."

"W-wait... Revenge?" Katie asked

"What do we do!?"

"Well, you gotta fight her!" Whisper said.

"Fight her!?" Katie asked. "But... we don't have any Yo-Kai..."

"Oh, that's a little rude to your cicada friend over there."

"Cicada-friend?" I muttered. As I spoke, the Green Cicada I had caught earlier began to glow again. "Huh!?"

The cicada I had caught earlier glowed brighter and brighter until from the bright light, came a... another Yo-Kai!? A Yo-kai resembeling a cicada with a light yellow body and a long beak stood before Katie and I. He had four arms, two which were folded in front of him, and the others beside his body. He wore a green kimono tied with a purple belt, strapping in his katana. "Greetings, I am Cadin!" the bug said.

"AGH! THE BUG TALKED!" Katie shouted, bouncing back.

I poked at the bug's sword. "Are you... another Yo-Kai?" I asked.

He nodded. "Cadin!"

"Cadin disguises itself as a mere cicada to hide it's true Yo-Kai self! He has a tendency to sleep, so be patient," Whisper informed. "He also claims to practice 'cicada ninjutsu'... but that's not really a thing. Unless it's a mastery of running away..."

"HEY! THAT'S A REAL THING!" Cadin shouted.

Katie giggled quietly. "He's actually pretty cute..."

"BUUUUHHUUUUU!" the bird moaned.

"AGH!" Whisper, Katie and I screeched.

"...I forgot you were there..." I murmured.

"We have to fight her!" Katie reminded.

"Then, to thee, able Nate and Katie, I offer this: my Yo-Kai Medal!" Cadin announced. He bounced over to Katie and I as he handed each of us a small metal medal.

"Yo-Kai medal?" we muttered in unison.

On the back was a silver heart on a bright pink background, with small silver carvings around the outside. On the front was a picture of the Yo-Kai with his katana, hanging onto a tree. The word: 'CHARMING' was printed on the bottom of the medal.

"You're first Yo-Kai medal! Congratulations you two!" Whisper cheered.

"This medal symbolises our songworthy friendship!" Cadin said.

"It's beautiful!"Katie sang.

"If thou art ever need me, use the medal to call upon me! I shall be by thy side faster than a chirping cricket on a bullet train!"

Befriended Cadin!

I nodded. "Will do, Cadin! But now, we've got a bird to defeat!" I turned back to the depressing Buhu.

"Have at thee, feathered fiend! Thou shall note I do not hold back!" Cadin warned.

"Oh come on! Don't make this hard on me!" she groaned. "Can't you just... y'know... quit?"

"Alright, Katie, Nate... time for your first battle, are you ready?" Whisper asked.

I looked at Katie as she nodded. "Let's go!" we said simultaneously.

Katie's POV

"Okay... so... now we battle..." I murmured.

Cadin jumped forward and grabbed his katana. "Stepping Slice!" he shouted as he began to attack. Buhu dodged the attack in a quick flap and fought back. "Pesky Poke!" The bird began to poke at the cicada, however with his sharp reflexes he jumped out of the way.

"Well... this is getting nowhere..." Nate said.

"Why not use a Soultimate?" Whisper suggested.

"What's a Soultimate?" I asked.

"If the Yo-Kai charges up enough energy, they can release a big powerful attack!" he informed.

"Alright! Cadin! Charge up your Soultimate!" Nate said.

Cadin nodded and sat on the floor with his two middle arms folded.

Buhu continued to poke at Cadin.

"EEEESSSHHH!" Cadin whined. "Help me out! I cannot charge my Soultimate whilst thou is attackng!"

I nodded. "Nate and I will take care of Buhu, continue to charge up!"

I jumped in front of Cadin. "Buhuhuhuhu, I can't attack anymore! Move out of the way!" Buhu groaned.

"WAH WAH WAH MY LIFE SUCKS! I'M BUHUUUU!" I whined.

Nate looked at me, as if concerned for my sanity.

I winked at him and he understood. As long as Buhu was distracted, Cadin could charge up his Soultimate.

"BUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH!" Nate groaned.

"Buhuhu, don't make fun of me!" the bird said.

Whisper floated in from the side. "BUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU!"

"BUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU!" we shouted altogether, making Buhu whine even more. "BUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU!"

"CICADA CUT!" Cadin shouted. The three of us hopped out of the way as Cadin sliced at Buhu, the depressed bird.

"BUHUHU!" the bird whined as she backed away. "I give up!"

"Yay!" we cheered.

"What do you want now?" she groaned. "You wanna grill me, or fry me?"

"Gross... I don't think I want either..." Nate muttered.

"Are you gonna make me ask for forgiveness, then?"

"No, we should be asking you," I said. "We're sorry for waking you up."

She sighed. "Well, I suppose I should give you my medal now..."

Buhu walked over to Nate and I and handed over her two medals.

On the back was a silver eye on a dark purple background, with small silver carvings around the outside. On the front was a picture of a crying and depressed Buhu... eeepp... The word: 'EERIE' was printed on the bottom of the medal.

Befriended Buhu!

"Congratulations!" Whisper cheered. "Another medal for you both! You better keep them safe. Here, use this!"

To the each of us, Whisper passed over a small red book, with gold patterns bordering it.

"These are Yo-Kai Medalliums! Use these to keep all your Yo-Kai medals safe!"

"Yo-Kai Medallium..." Nate muttered. "Cool!" He placed his two medals in the book.

I did the same.

"What are all these?" I asked, pointing to the patterns on the front of the book.

"Ahhh, the Yo-Kai Tribes!"

"Yo-Kai Tribes?" Nate asked.

"Yes, the Yo-Kai Tribes are different groups that every species of Yo-Kai is divided into. There are 8 tribes altogether, however rumour has it, a 9th tribe exisists. First, there's the Brave Tribe." He pointed to the insignia with a red background. It's emblem was the shape on a cresent-moon-like helmet. "This tribe has Yo-Kai specializing in offensive power and close combat. Next, the Mysterious Tribe." The emblem had a curved swirl on a bright yellow background. "The Mysterious Tribe specializes in Yo-Kai Techniques and other forms of sorcery."

"Technique?" I asked.

"Yep. For example, Cadin's technique was whirlwind."

"What about this tribe?" Nate questioned, pointing to the orange tribe with a fist.

"The Tough Tribe's Yo-Kai have high defense due to their dense bodies and stubborn spirit. Next is the Heartful Tribe." He pointed to the green tribe with a five petal flower pattern. "This tribe has Yo-Kai that lean heavily towards healing its fellow allies. Many of this tribe's Yo-Kai have designs that tend to denote pleasant imagery. Very heartful," Whisper laughed.

"Oooh, I like this Tribe," I said.

"Next is the Shady Tribe." The next tribe was dark blue with a large sinister smiling face design...

"Creepy..." Nate murmured.

"The Shady Tribe Yo-Kai revolve around bringing down the stats of their opponents. Shady Yo-Kai tend to be more amoral of all Yo-Kai, and their effects tend to negatively impact humanity the most. Then there's Eerie Tribe. Buhu is part of this Tribe." He pointed to the same pattern on the back of Buhu's medal. "The Eerie Tribe Yo-Kai often induce status conditions to cripple opponents via inspiriting. They also have creepy or otherwise unnerving properties in terms of appearance and/or personality."

"I don't think I like those tribes..." I murmured.

"And on of my personal favourites, the Slippery Tribe. I am in fact slippery myself, so it's like, the best tribe! Do not doubt it!"

"Sure..." Nate sighed.

He pointed to the light blue tribe with a snake-like pattern.

"The Slippery Tribe have Yo-Kai who are notable for buffing their allies' stats with their inspiritments, while also being hard to be negatively inspirited by the opponents. They also have either serpentine bodies, serpentie-like attributes, are based on sea creatures, or merely have really long body parts. They are often very indepedent-minded." Whisper looked very proud. "And last but not least, the Charming Tribe."

He pointed to the pink heart tribe.

"Cadin is part of this tribe. The Charming Tribe had members specializing in quick and swift attacks. Many of it's Yo-Kai additonally have cutesy-like designs."

"And that's all of them?" I asked.

He nodded. "The 8 Yo-Kai Tribes."

"As expected, a fine performance from two strong performers! Top notch!" Cadin congratulated. "And with that, I shall depart. Until we meet again heroes Katie and Nate!" A puff of purple smoke blew up in our faces as the Yo-Kai disappeared.

"I guess I'll be going too, Buhuhu!" Buhu disappeared after Cadin.

"Did we..." Nate muttered.

"Just become friends?" I asked.

Whisper nodded. "Continue making friends with all the Yo-Kai and fill up your Yo-Kai Medallium!"

Normal POV

"So, how's that?" the ghost Whisper asked. "You think you understand a bit more about Yo-Kai now?"

"It's hard to actually belive..." Nate sighed.

"That Yo-Kai exisist in the first place..." Katie finished.

"Ohohoho!" Whisper laughed. "I understand, but Yo-Kai are hiding everywhere, you see! Like over there!"

LODO! YEAH!

"And over there!"

Zis is ze life...

"So you see...?" he laughed. He floated up into the sky. "There are Yo-Kai all around you hidden in plain sight! You may not be able to see them, but they're everyhere!"

The two kids stood in awe as they watched the Yo-Kai fly above them.

"So, let's take those Yo-Kai Watches and use them to make some new friends! OK?"

Katie nodded in excitement, however the boy wasn't so sure.

"Oh and by the way, you can never take them off!"

"What!?"

"Just know that now you have them, your lives will never be quite the same!" he laughed.

Nate stood frozen. "What have I gotten myself into...?"

Dun dun dun! That is all! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter! Okay, it may have been a little boring because it was only the explaining bla bla bla chapter, but still! Hopefully the next chapter will be a little better! ;)

It's going to be the chapter Enter Jibanyan, so yup.

So I think I'll be doing one chapter for one chapter from the game, however that's just way too short, so I might split the chapters from the game into parts so it will last longer. I also might add some extra parts/chapters for other Yo-Kai to introduce, because there's a lot... and... yeah... if that made any sense... It probably didn't... who even reads these things? I don't know... help me, I'm sorry...

Okay, I would really appreciate comments as well because I'd like to know who's enjoying it and who's not and why so that I can improve. So, if you're reading, please comment!

Anyway, Nate's so cute! See ya in the next chapter! 3 :D
