Yo-kai Watch life: for Better or Worse

AN: Hello guys this is my first fanfic, I decided to do it on Yo-kai watch because I just really like the series both video game and Anime this will be taking place before the first movie and will be based a bit more on the video game than the anime but I will still be taking some themes from the anime. I hope you enjoy it but if you don't it's fine I just hope you forgive my trash writing skills.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of Yo-kai watch. If I did Lucas would have been a main character in the anime.

It was just an average day for the average boy Nate Adams only it wasn't several weeks ago he and his friends went bug hunting and instead of catching a super rare and amazing bug like Nate wanted, he ended up with a weird watch a mysterious device that let him see the mysterious creatures that almost always messed around with his life, the yo-kai. Not all of it had been bad, like meeting Jibanyan. Out of all his yo-kai, he had so far he seemed to like Jibanyan the most. He was one of Nate's top yo-kai, sometimes Jibanyan could be a pain but Nate had been saved by him dozens of times already and they were now roommates too. Then there were many others of his supernatural entourage. He had befriended many Yo-kai throughout his adventures. Then there was his weird Yo-kai butler Whisper. Nate freed Whisper from a capsule prize he got from the crank-a-kai when he was compelled by some mysterious force to put a coin in it. From then on Whisper became his loyal Yo-kai butler, he wasn't the best or that good at his job or even helpful but he was sometimes a little useful when he gave information from his Yo-kai pad and Nate couldn't forget that Whisper was the one who gave him the Yo-kai watch in the first place. Then again he wasn't sure if the watch was a blessing or a curse. Sure if he didn't have it he wouldn't be able to stop all this Yo-kai chaos but he wouldn't have to deal with it and he could just be a normal kid. Then again if Nate hated anything more than a mischievous Yo-kai it was being just average, having a secret Yo-kai fighting life did make him a little more interesting even if he just came off as weird instead of super cool. But something was different about today, normally Nate would just be thinking about keeping up with his studies in school which he was just average in, about some yo-kai problem, video games, catching bugs, or some way to impress his friends who just thought Nate was average, especially his crush Katie. He had a crush on Katie for as long as he could remember he tried tons of different things to impress her, but Katie was either oblivious to it, Nate's plan was ruined by Yokai, or he just plain did something wrong. Today was different, today Nate was sort of thinking differently about that and something in the air he couldn't explain, like everything in his already weird life was just going to get a whole lot weirder.

"Hey, Nate, what is going on in there? You have been staring off into space all day?" asked Whisper. Normally he would be at school with Whisper and Jibanyan but Jibanyan trained against cars and trucks every other day. So today was just Whisper.

"Oh it's just nothing but I do know that I want to change something with my life you know." replied Nate, "I mean doing all Yo-kai stuff, you said I shouldn't abuse it for myself right. But there must be some sort of reason why I, just the most average kid in the whole world, became part of this world of yo-kai. Maybe I can use this power to help people and Yo-kai."

"Wow Nate, that is quite a big move there and very mature of you. What could have sparked this sudden urge to help people?" asked Whisper, dumbfounded by Nate's words, "Could it have something to do with Katie, or your friends, or just proving you're not average."

"Urh, I'm not average," shouted Nate to his embracement. Everyone looked at him.

"Um Nate can you refrain from any more of those sudden outbursts?" asked Mr. Johnson, who was a combination of confused and annoyed and Nate's teacher.

"Sorry, it won't happen again." promised Nate, "Thanks a lot, whisper."

"Oh well it's not my fault you can't control your temper." mocked Whisper, "But I will support you in any way for your idea to help people and Yo-kai. In fact, I will alert the KaiNet that you are happy to help anyone."

"Okay thanks, Whisper," said Nate with genuine gratitude.

"You're welcome," said Whisper, matching Nate's genuine attitude. "I just wonder how long this phase will last," Whisper said under his breath.

"What was that?" asked Nate, obviously to Whisper.

"Nothing," replied Whisper.

Lunchtime

"Hey Nate, nice going there in class," joked Eddie.

"Yeah you like totally embraced yourself," said Bear agreeing with Eddie. Both boys then chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah like you guys haven't," fumed Nate.

"But what was that about?" Katie asked.

Nate was sitting with his friends in the cafeteria like usual and they were on him about what happened in class.

"Um well I guess I'm just tired of being average," explained Nate.

"Well duh everyone knows that," Eddie pointed out, putting his hands up.

"You say that every time someone calls you that," chuckled Bear.

"But this is different. I am actually going to do something about it," declared Nate.

"Do what, like catch a rare bug or something," suggested Bear.

"Or beat an unbeatable video game," suggested Eddie.

"Not gonna happen," said Bear and Eddie. Katie wasn't really paying attention to the three boys anymore; she was talking to another one of her friends.

"No I wanna help people, I mean you guys all work so hard and are very helpful. Eddie, you're super smart and you help everyone with their homework and classwork when you can and you lend people cool stuff all the time. Bear you help your dad and mom out all the time, and I know you help other younger kids out. You stand up for them when they are bullied even if the bully is some big stronger older kid." imparted Nate as he came to a stand.

"Oh well thanks Nate, It's nice to hear that," said Eddie with a smile one hand behind his head, a bit embarrassed by the praise.

"No one has ever really said that before," said Bear, also embarrassed by Nate's kind words.

"And Katie." started Nate, Katie then looked away from her friend to Nate, "You're the kindest most caring person I know. You help everyone and you're a great friend. I wanna be like you guys and help people." Katie smiled at what Nate had said, "So if you guys have any problems I would be happy to help."

"Wow thanks, Nate, well I have nothing going on right now but thanks for the offer," said Eddie.

"Me neither but I will certainly ask if I need," said Bear.

"Thanks, Nate." confessed Katie, "It's nice of you to offer but I have nothing."

"Oh that's fine," replied Nate sitting back down.

"So you want to help people." pondered Eddie, "you'll still have time to play video games with me and Bear right?"

"Oh heck yes, I am always there for that," beamed Nate, giving a fist bump to the two other boys.

"Good because we could always use your help in having some fun," said Bear with a smile. Katie took one last smile at Nate and then went back to talking with her friend.

"Wow Nate I didn't think you were actually serious," confessed Whisper.

"I am and if there is anything I can do I want to do it I don't want to waste my life just playing video games and catching bugs," assured Nate.

"I'm really proud of you Nate." said Whisper with a proud smile, "It is real nice of you to help people and Yo-kai."

"I just wonder if I can," said Nate with a hint of doubt.

"With the help of Yo-kai the possibilities are infinite," exclaimed Whisper.

Then the bell rang signaling that it was time to head back to class.

"Well I guess it's back to class," said Nate. The rest of school was just long and boring. It was a relief when the bell finally rang. All of Nate's classmates quickly rushed out of the classroom. Nate was the last one out and he almost left but then he noticed Mr. Johnson who seemed in pain.

"Aw, ouch," said Mr. Johnson as he started to rub his neck.

Nate looked back and asked, "Hey Mr. Johnson are you okay?"

"Uh well not really I haven't been able to sleep well lately and I have been quite careless this week losing my keys and leaving my car door unlocked. It's probable because of my arthritis it has been acting up again." said Mr. Johnson with a sad smile, "Oh but don't worry Nate I'll be fine. Have a good day Nate."

"Huh Whisper maybe a Yo-kai is at work here," said Nate in a Whisper so only Whisper would hear him.

"Oh you need to stop blaming every— oh wait, Nate this time you might be right but I think it is more than one Yo-kai at work." exclaimed Whisper, "Be careful."

"Okay," said Nate with a nod, he then flipped on his Yo-kai watch and scanned around Mr. Johnson. Suddenly six Yo-kai appeared. First, he spotted a cyclops Yo-kai with pale purple skin, a single red eye with a blue stripe across her face, her hair was tied by blue ribbons to make two horns, and the bottom half of her body was a ghostly dress-like form. The second was a human-looking Yo-kai with pink skin with a few red markings on his face only wearing a red loincloth and a white headband and a single spike of hair standing right by him was a slightly smaller Yo-kai that was similar looking but had a pan for a hat, both were armed with toothpick spears. Then the last Yo-kai was a Yo-kai about the same size as the bigger pink Yo-kai and had a green head with grey skin, a tuft of orange hair and a small goatee and purple star markings on his eyes with a leaf in his ever frowning mouth. He wore a pair of red pants, a brown vest, and a good luck charm around his neck beside him were two Yo-kai the size of the smaller pink Yo-kai that were naked of clothing with the same grey skin and green face with purple star eyes but one of their star markings was bigger than the other. All of them were huddled around Mr. Johnson.

"Woah that's a lot of Yo-kai," said Nate with a bit of worry in his voice.

"That's what I was worried about. Normally there is a limit to how many Yo-kai can inspirit one person because Yo-kai can be territorial like that but in this case, we have a whole Yo-kai gang," said Whisper with a lot of worry in his voice.

"That's not good, how is this possible?" asked Nate, still worried.

"Well, usually one Yo-kai inspirits a person and that can affect the person badly or goodly, when that Yo-kai inspirits this person long enough that attracts other Yo-kai usually weaker Yo-kai that can help the original Yo-kai's grip on the person this can lead to multiple Yo-kai inspiring one person. There is no reasoning with them because in a group they won't want to let go," explained Whisper.

"Wow you actually know something without your Yo-kai pad, but who are these Yo-kai?" asked Nate a bit surprised that his Yo-kai butler was actually competent today.

"Hey, I know stuff." Whisper shouted but then he quickly looked up who the Yo-kai were on his Yo-kai pad, "Um, well."

"You don't know them, what a surprise," said Nate sarcastically.

"Of course I know them the cyclopes is Insomni she makes sure who she is around never sleeps she is the most powerful one there so she must be the leader. The pink ones are Undy and Pandle, the one with the pan on its head is obviously Pandle, and the last ones are Payn and two Akes. Pandle and Undy make people careless, and Payn and Ake cause body pain." said Whisper in a matter of fact tone.

"Oh it looks like someone found us out," said Insomni, seeming to be not that interested.

"I guess we have been a little too careless," said Undy.

"If they know what's good for 'em they'll just leave," said Payn threateningly.

"Woah, these guys seem like bad news. I guess we'll just have to fight them. Hmm if Insomni is the leader if I take her out then problem solved, I know just who to call." said Nate ready to end this.

"No wait, Nate, it's not that simple," said Whisper frantically but it was too late.

"Come out my friend, calling Baku, Yo-kai medal do your thing," said Nate as he flipped a coin in the air and he inserted it into his watch. Out came a swirl of pink light.

Alarming!

Boom, boom,

Walla, walla,

Dance, Dance

Charming!

Baku!

Out came a purple and pink tapir with big jaws and an orange flower symbol by her eyes.

"Awe hello there Nate what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Thanks, Baku, I need you to take out Insomni, you can put her to sleep right?" pleaded Nate.

"No problem," affirmed Baku. Baku then shot from its trunk a white dream mist. Insomni was about to get hit when Undy called, "Pandle protect Insomni."

"You got it," said Pandle. Pandle put its Pan to its back jumped in front of Insomni who didn't seem worried. The Pan blocked the attack.

"Uh," said Nate and Baku at the same time with the same look of astonishment.

"I tried to tell you, you can't just beat a team of Yo-kai with just one Yo-kai," said Whisper with a shrug as he looked at the two.

"Oh oops," said Nate.

"Oh you're going to pay for that." swore Payn, "Ake and Ake attack.'' Both Akes got up and ran to beat up Baku.

"Urh, why are you guys even protecting Insomni?" asked Nate with rage.

"Well you see hun, I keep Mr. what's his face up all night and that leads him to be tried in the morning," said Insomni, still not even bothering to look at Nate.

"And that makes him easier to make careless," continued Undy.

"Which makes him stressed allowing me and my boys to make his body sore," explained Payn.

"Which in turn makes him easier to keep awake," said Insomni, finally facing Nate.

"We all benefit from this," said Payn.

"The only problem is we don't get to sleep," said Undy.

"But that's okay all we care about is training non-stop." said Payn, "The pain makes us stronger."

"Yeah." exclaimed the two Akes and Pandle.

"Uhh these guys need to be stopped," said Nate, still annoyed at the Yo-kai for ruining his teacher's life.

"If you ever want to stop them you are going to have to summon more Yo-kai, at least three others," explained Whisper.

"Alright then come on out my friend, calling Jibanyan." said Nate, "Yo-kai medal do your thing."

Alarming!

Boom, boom,

Walla, walla,

Dance, Dance

Charming!

Jibanyan!

"Oh hey guys," said Jibanyan with cheer in his voice, he was certainly in a good mood.

"Well you're unusually cheery," said Whisper, happy to see the cat Yo-kai so gleeful.

"Oh well today was a pretty good day and I just woke up from a great nap," answered Jibanyan.

"We don't have time for this Jibanyan. We need you to help take down this team of Yo-kai," said Nate with a hurried tone.

"You got it," said Jibanyan ready to fight.

"Help Baku please," begged Baku who was still being attacked by the Akes.

"Okay," said Jibanyan, jumping to the Tapir's side punching away both Ake's. Both landed near Payn's side.

"Oh you rag-a-muffins are gonna pay for that," raged Payn, becoming surrounded in a dark blue aura. "Shoulder Lock!" he shouted as he jumped up and then crashed into Jibanyan and Baku.

"Oh no, Baku, Jibanyan." said Nate really worried for his Yo-kai friends, "Are you guys okay?"

"Uh… not really," said Jibanyan.

"Huff* Huff* no," said Baku. Both were covered in bruises.

"Nate, you are going to have to summon a Yo-kai that can help heal them like a Yo-kai from the heartful tribe," said Whisper, a bit worried for the two beat-up Yo-kai too.
"Alright, this one should do the trick." said Nate, fishing out another medal from his pocket, "Okay come on out my friend, calling hungramps, Yo-kai medal do your thing," said Nate tossing and inserting yet another coin into his watch.

Speedy Artful!

Sing la-la-la!

Everywhere heartful!

Hungramps!

"Hello, there youngsters. what's the problem here?" asked the elderly Yo-kai with a calm voice.

"Thanks for coming Hungramps. We need you to help heal my other yo-kai friends," said Nate getting right to the point.

"Oh that's no problem at all." said Hungramps then the elderly Yo-kai walked over slowly to the other two, "I got the solution to all your problems. There's nothing a little food can't fix." he said as he pulled out Jibanyan's and Baku's favorite foods.

Jibanyan took the choco bar and ate it with glee, "Oh thanks this is great,"

"It's no dream but it will do," said Baku digging into a hamburger. Both their injuries seemed to have melted away.

"You're welcome kids now go out there and give it your all," said Hungramps.

"Wow thanks, Hungramps," said Nate, glad to see his Yo-kai friends were back.

"Yes your skills with food really saved the day," said Whisper, praising the older Yo-kai.

"Like I always say, a good meal with friends fixes everything," said Hungramps as he took a seat by Nate and Whisper.

"Quickly Nate summon one more Yokai, anyone ought to do it," urged Whisper.

"You got it, come on out my friend, calling Walkappa." said Nate as he inserted one last coin into his watch, "Yo-kai medal do your thing." Out from the pink swirls came a blue-skinned Kappa Yo-ka with a water bottle around his neck.

"Woah dude what's up?" asked Walkappa with a carefree tone.

"Walkappa I need your help to defeat this team of Yo-kai. Will you help?" asked Nate.

"Okay, I'm not much of a fighter but I'll do anything for my friend let's go," said Walkappa charging in to join Jibanyan and Baku.

"What are you guys still doing around here? Go get them," said Insomni to the other Yo-kai with slight annoyance.

"Oh right come on guys let's go," said Payn leading the charge. Payn was followed by his two Ake friends and his comrade Undy and his Pandle trainee. Payn and the Akes came in with their fists and Undy and Pandle rushed forward with their toothpicks.

"Let's go," said Jibanyan rushing forward with his paws in fists. Jibanyan punched Payn and Ake matching all three in strength.

"I'll cover you," said Walkappa, taking a step back to create a mini blast of water that pushed back Undy and Pandle.

"Uh I have to do everything." said Insomni, rolling her eye, "time to weaken you all." Insomni sent red rings of energy at Walkappa and Jibanyan making them tired.

"Oh so tried man," said Walkappa groggy, stopping his water attacks.

"I knyow right," said Jibanyan with a yawn. That allowed Payn and his Akes to land a few good blows on Jibanyan and for Undy and Pandle to strike Walkappa.

"Oh no Jibanyan, Walkappa." cried out Nate.

"Don't worry I got this," said Baku. Baku opened her mouth wide and drained the grogginess right out of them.

"What, no!" whined Insomni.

"Alright man." said Walkappa, "We're back in this."

"Yeah and it's time we finish this thanks Baku," said Jibanyan. The two charming Yo-kai gave a thumbs up to Baku who smiled.

"Alright let's do this Nyan." said Jibanyan becoming surrounded in a light blue aura, "Paws of Fury!"

"Yeah here's our true power dude." said Walkappa with a pink aura, "Mega Waterfall!" Walkappa summoned a giant waterfall to wash away Undy and Pandle and Jibanyan hit Payn and Ake with a thousand punches. All five Yo-kai fell to the floor defeated and then they disappeared in a cloud of dust leaving only their medals behind.

"Oh no, well I'm out of here," said Insomni quickly fleeing the school.

"Yeah we did it!" exclaimed Nate.

"Now Mr. Johnson won't have to worry about restless nights, physical discomfort, or carelessness," said Whisper with a bright smile.

"Good job all four of you," praised Nate.

"Yes you three did great out there, have a snack," said Hungramps giving Jibanyan a couple of choco bars and Walkappa a plate of cucumber rolls.

"Oh thanks again." said Jibanyan with wide eyes at the food, "You're the best Hungramps."

"Wow Thanks, dude, umm cucumber rolls the best of food," said Walkappa loving his meal too.

"Well you kids need to eat to grow big and strong," said Hungramps.

"Oh thank you Nate for summoning me, Insomni may be troublesome but a person who breaks from her inspirit has the best dreams," said Baku feasting on the now asleep Mr. Johnson.

"Oh your welcome Baku, thank you for helping me out with Insomni," said Nate with a smile.

"Anytime, it was my pleasure, I'll stay back here, bye you guys," said Baku, still euphoric about the dreams from Insomni.

"Bye Baku," said Nate.

"See you later," said Whisper.

"Bye Nyow." said Jibanyan.

"See ya dude." said Walkappa.

"So long," said Hungramps. The five then walked out of the school. Walkappa offered to walk Hungramps home to protect him from any thuggish Yo-kai like roughraff or signibble. Hungramps gladly accepted and Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan gladly saw them off. Nate and his two Yo-kai friends were about to go when they saw a kid from Nate's class pass by him.

"Nice job handling those Yo-kai today," he said with a wave as he walked away.

"Oh thanks." said Nate, "Wait what did you say," said Nate with surprise at what the other kid said was there really another kid who could see Yo-kai. Nate turned around to ask the kid more questions but when he looked back the other kid was gone.

AN: Please review, again I really hope you like it. Thank you for reading.
