There was this place, that if you really think about it, is just like ours. But with a few differences.

One of those differences is the inhabitants.

Instead of people, ghosts by the general name of yo-kai do the things that we do, from making movies to revealing the next big cell phone.

Yo-kai have these weird abilities that causes the strange phenomenons in our daily lives, from runny noses to making insincere apologies.

Not many have the ability to see them, and it's considered an honer if you can.

Not much is known about who has said ability, but only two children are known for sure to have it.

We are going to explore the life of one of them, an average boy by the name Nathan Adams.

"Now, Jibanyan, attack!", he told the cat as Jibanyan was standing in the middle of the road.

"Alright, truck, are you ready for this, nyan?! Paws of Fury!", he shouted as he held the truck in place for a few seconds.

"Wow, he's actually doing it, whis!", Whisper said, impressed.

"I know, rig-NYA!", he got interrupted as he couldn't hold the truck in place for any longer and got launched into the sky.

"...Well, almost.", Nathan told Whisper with a laugh.

"Now we have to find him. It shouldn't be hard if we look for Chocobo, whis!"

A couple hours later, they managed to find him in the park, eating a ton of Chocobo.

"Are you telling us, that you were here, the whole time, eating Chocobo, without trying to look for us, whis?", Whisper asked, annoyed.

"It would make everything too complicated, nya.", Jibanyan responded.

"Anyway, now that we found you, why don't we go- wait, since when was that there?!", Nathan asked.

"It seems like it just popped out of nowhere, whis.", Whisper told the two.

The three of them stood there, looking at the portal.

"...I feel...drawn to it.", Nathan said blankly as he slowly walked toward it.

"Wait a minute, Nate, I don't think that it's a good- WHIS!"

"Me too, nyan.", Jibanyan said blankly as he followed Nathan.

"Seriously, snap out of it, both of you! This portal can lead us into trouble, so please- oh no, that's Katie, Eddie and Bear, isn't it?"

Whisper quickly decided to try to pull them both out of the portal before the three of them reaches them.

"Hey, Nat- OH NO! He's going to fall in that thing. Eddie, Bear, give me a hand!", Katie ordered, and they began to pull Nathan out of the portal.

But it was too late.

Gravity quickly increased in the portal, and the 6 of them soon fell in.

They are about to enter a world where they will encounter some new yo-kai and maybe new creatures all together.

They soon fell on concrete flooring.

"Oh my gosh, where are we? Wait, who are you?", Eddie asked Whisper.

"Wait, you can see me?! This is a miracle! I can finally meet the three of you, and- oh no, the three of you, hide!", Whisper suddenly panicked as the three kids went to hide behind a column.

Just as they did so, what looked like a giant tree ogre came out of a door opposite of them.

The three of them stared quietly in horror at their friend and the two creatures next to him as the ogre walked toward him.

"I'm guessing that these are the ones that you meant Clobbo?", the ogre asked the creature next to him.

"Yes, Leawood.", Clobbo confirmed.

"So I'm guessing that you're Leawood and Clobbo?", Nathan asked them.

"Right. Do you know why you're here?", Leawood asked him.

"Not really, but we should get going right about now."

"I just want to go home and munch on some Chocobo, nyan!", Jibanyan yawned.

"Unfortunately, Leawood won't take no for an answer, nor will he allow a floating soft serve to work for him. Leave here at once!", Clobbo ordered.

But the yo-kai stood his ground.

"Who are you calling a floating soft serve?! I'm not leaving here without my friends!"

After he said that, Whisper noticed that Leawood did something to Nathan and Jibanyan.

"Oh, I don't think that they want to leave.", Clobbo remarked.

The two turned around to face him.

Whisper then realized what he did as soon as he saw the same blank looks on them as when he saw when they ran into the portal.

"Um, guys, do you recognize me?"

The two soon flashed dark grins.

"...I take it as a no.", Whisper said sadly.

"So are you going to leave or not!?", Clobbo steamed.

"Fine, fine, I'll leave!", Whisper shouted.

Before he turned around to get the others that were hiding, he noticed something that was a pale blue flash by.

"I wonder...no, it can't be, the chances of that happening are very low, whis!"

Whisper soon managed to get the others out without being seen.

"Do you mind me asking this again: who are you guys and what did those two do to that cat and Nate?", Eddie asked, concerned.

"My name is Whisper, and we are beings by the name as yo-kai. Usually, we can't be seen by the human eye, but there are some exceptions. That watch your friend always wears, yeah, that's one of those exceptions."

Katie soon stepped up to him.

"Do you think that there's a chance of bringing those two back, Whisper?"

"Why are you asking that? Of course we will, right Eddie?", Bear asked him.

"Huh, yeah!"

Whisper soon turned around and realized something.

"I think we have another problem: WHERE ARE WE?!"

Something then began to tug on Katie's leg.

She looked down to see a yo-kai she hasn't seen before.

Whisper was actually able to recognize him without using the Yo-kai Pad, surprisingly.

"Oh, a Komajiro! Do you by any chance know where we are?"

"Take a good look around you. The yo-kai that you can see all around you are ones exclusive to this area. There are some here that aren't even yo-kai...yet!"

"Well, is there someone we can talk to who can be able to help us in someway?", he asked.

"There's a town nearby where you can talk to someone who knows about the existence of yo-kai! Come, let me take you there!", Komajiro snatched Whisper's hand and began to run towards the town.

On their way there, the yo-kai and three kids saw some people with what they at first thought were yo-kai, and it seemed as though they were battling each other.

Whisper then told them that none of those creatures appeared on the Yo-kai Pad.

"Okay, we're almost there!", Komajiro announced.

They were surprised to see how different the town looked to their own. While their's was very modern, this town was advanced, yet simple.

"Alright, here it is, the lab!", Komajiro shouted happily when they got to the entrance.

The lab looked like the rest of the town in terms of simplicity, but they have yet to see the inside of it.

"Um...Professor Maple? Are you here? It's me, Komajiro."

The door slowly cracked open.

"Who's with you?"

"Hello, we heard that you know a bit about yo-kai?", Katie asked her.

"...Come in, but hurry!"

When she said that, the door opened up completely.

They soon walked in.

When they took a good look at the lab, they realized how advanced it was.

There were computers everywhere, some of these new creatures were around, and there were yo-kai everywhere.

The professor soon walked up to the group.

"Ok, let me properly introduce myself. I'm Professor Maple, and while I research the creatures that are native in this region, I also study yo-kai on the side. Speaking of which, do you know who these creatures are?"

The four of them shook their heads.

"These creatures go by the name of pokemon, and you four are in the region of Kalos!"

"The Kalos region... um, how are we supposed to fit in?", Katie asked.

That made them all think for a moment.

"I have an idea. I'll give you all a pokemon and a pokedex. Come with me!"

They were soon led into a room with a table. The table had three ball capsules.

"These capsules are called pokeballs. They can each hold a pokemon inside. Alright you guys, come on out!"

Three pokemon soon appeared before them.

"This pokemon right here is a psychic and fairy type named Ralts. This other pokemon is a grass and bug type called Sewaddle. Last but not least, this pokemon here is an electric type pokemon named Elekid."

It wasn't long before they decided on a pokemon.

"This Ralts right here speaks to me!", Eddie exclaimed as he picked him up.

"Hello little guy, you're such a cutie!", Katie told the Sewaddle with a smile.

"You look like a tough little guy. I'll take ya!", Bear told the Elekid.

Professor Maple soon gave them their pokeballs, pokedexes, and a GPS.

"Oh wait, I have one more thing to give you!"

She soon hands them each a blue, green, and pink watch.

"These watches are the newest models for the Yo-kai Watch U. This watch will enable you to see yo-kai humans can't see otherwise, and the ability to summon them."

Komajiro soon ran up to Katie.

"Hey, can I come along with you guys?"

She soon looked up at Professor Maple.

"Is that okay with you?"

"If that's what he wants, then it's okay with me.", she reassured her.

"Yay!", he shouted.

Suddenly, he began to glow and something appeared out of him.

"The heck's this?", Katie asked.

"My goodness, your first yo-kai medal!", Whisper exclaimed.

"That's right! Whenever you befriend a yo-kai, they will give you their medal as a sort of token of friendship. You can then use them to summon said yo-kai.", Professor Maple explained.

She then hands them each a book.

"This is the Medallium. It's where you can place your medals in an organized manner!"

"Wow, thanks!", the three told her.

"My pleasure! Good luck finding a way home, oh and take care of Komajiro!", she shouted as she waved good-bye.

"Don't worry, we will!", Eddie shouted back as they left the lab.

The lab was soon quiet.

"Well that takes care of that. Now, let me take a closer look into the mysterious behavior from the gym leaders.", she told herself as she went to the computer to do research.

What she didn't notice was that there was a tiny blue yo-kai peeking into the window.

"Oh no.", it said at it disappeared.
