Its been at least a month since the Furious World Tournament had wrapped up in a nice little bow. With the inclusion of Filia, Cerebella, Peacock, Carol and Valentine onto the team also came the departure of Yusuke, Hiei, Kuwabara and Kurama after feeling their services weren't really needed much on the team any more. As for Gutsman, he is currently stationed back in New Meridian to help rebuild the city after all the damage that had happened to it from the fights.
"Hahaha! We are the champions!" Gajeel called out as the team looked annoyed.
"Ugh. How long is he gonna keep bragging? The tournament's been over for a month now." Lucy said.
"Yeah. It's starting to get really annoying." Lemon said.
"What we really need is a vacation." Jexi said. "Say, is there anyplace we could go that is a perfect vacation spot?"
"Well, how about this place?" Sci-Twi asked handing Jexi a brochure.
"Springdale, huh? A normal town, no evil organizations, no Flux. Its perfect!" Jexi smiled.
The ship then sped off through space as it soon arrived to said world, however as it began landing in the mountain north of the town, there happened to be a young boy who had gone up into the mountains for a special insect hunt.
"There's gotta be something for me up here." He told himself. "Maybe a golden Rhinoceros beetle, maybe a stag beetle. I just need something rare."
Just a little up ahead, the ship landed near a tree with white things hanging off of it. The heroes began to get off one after the other, breathing in the mountain air. "Ah. Finally, a little break from fighting evil. Hope Hope's taking it easy somewhere." Jexi said stretching before seeing a small machine under the tree. "A capsule machine?" He asked as the boy soon came. "Hey!" He shouted.
"Whoa. Where'd you come from?" Sonic asked.
"Me? You're the one's coming out of a space ship. Wait, are you aliens?" He asked.
"We aren't aliens kid so run along." Gajeel said.
"Hey! Don't talk to me like that and I have a name. Its Nate, Nate Adams." Nate said.
"Yeah well…" Gajeel began before they heard a faint voice.
"Did anyone hear that?" Gajeel asked.
"Feeeed me, feeed me." The voice said eerily.
"Sounds like it came from the capsule machine." Yang said.
"Feeeed me, feeeed me!" It said again.
"What the hell is going on here?" Yosuke asked.
"Feeeed me, Feeed me! Feed me, Feed me, Feed me right now!" The voice said.
"Does that thing, want a coin?" Peacock asked as Nate cautiously put a coin into the slot and turned the crank. Out came a small ball. Nate then picked up the ball and twisted it. As soon as that happened, a light shined out of it as a swirling mass came out with a ghostly figure in the center of it. The figure the showed a horrifying face as it came into light.
Nate and the heroes were surprised to see a white ghost like creature with a big mouth and plain eyes.
"What's up, my comorial friends. My name is Whisper and I am at your service." The ghost said.
"Uh, what?" Nate said.
"I get it. You all are too stunned by my good looks to speak. Well, allow me to tell you about myself. You see, for 190 years, I've been trapped inside that capsule machine by a shaman who thought I was an evil spirit." Whisper explained.
"Wait, they had capsule machines that far back? Very unlikely." Sugarcoat said.
"Shamans have a wicked sense of humor. What can I say? Now that you all have been so kind to free me, I will now serve as your personal butler." Whisper said with a bow.
"Sweet. We get a ghost for a butler." Odd said.
"A ghost? Afraid there's been confusion. I am not a ghost, I am a Yo-kai." Whisper said.
"Wait, Yo-kai? As in japanese spirits?" Yumi asked.
"Yes. Quite right." Whisper said.
"Ugh. This sucks. I wanted to catch a rare bug, not some wimpy ghost." Nate said turning to leave before Whisper stopped him.
"Hold it, compadre. Instead of trying to catch a few lousy bugs, how about trying to catch some Yo-kai?" Whisper suggested. "I happen to have some gifts for these other worldly heroes and you." Whisper said pulling out two strange watches.
"What an interesting device. What is it?" Tails said.
"This, my foxy friend, is the Yo-kai Watch, allowing our friend here to see Yo-kai. People who aren't from this world can see them just fine but that watch can do more than let people see them." Whisper said giving one to Nate and the other to the heroes. "Ah, and I see a prime target nearby." Whisper said as Nate pressed a button making the glass dome pop up, shining a light at the tree. In the light appeared a bird like creature with a face on its stomach.
"Aw. You found me. Boohoohoo." It said.
"So there's more of these Yo-kai?" Robin asked.
"Yes. That is the Yo-kai Buhu, he makes anyone he inspirits experience bad luck all day long." Whisper said.
"I guess I'm gonna have to attack you now since you woke me from my nap. Such a pain." Buhu said.
"Wait, it wants to fight?" Natsu asked.
"Yes. And I have a feeling our cicada friend wants to join in." Whisper said.
"Huh?" Nate asked as a cicada he caught earlier flew out and transformed. The cicada now had two legs and four arms with a sword on its back.
"Meet the Yo-kai Cadin, a yo-kai that likes to camouflage itself as an ordinary cicada." Whisper said.
"Yes, ninnin. I am quite impressed with your bug catching skill and hereby declare you my friend." Cadin said flipping two coins, one at Nate and the other at the heroes.
"That there is a Yo-kai medal. It symbolizes that you are friends with certain Yo-kai." Whisper said.
"Now, allow me to make quick work of this fiend." Cadin said drawing his sword and slashing at Buhu. "Cicada Cut!" He said defeating Buhu in one clean shot.
"Whoa. Now that was actually pretty cool." Rainbow said.
"Oh. Beaten so easily. What are you gonna do now? Fry me or Grill me?" Buhu asked.
"Ew. Neither. We should really be apologizing to you for waking you up." Lucy said.
"Thanks, I guess. I suppose I should give you all these." Buhu said handing over his medals to the two forces before he and Cadin vanished.
"So, you all feel like you understand Yo-kai a little better now?" Whisper asked them.
"I guess. Its just hard to believe. Yo-kai….they really exist." Yumi said.
"Hard to believe but not impossible. We're actually all over this city." Whisper said. "Like over there."
On a street in a trashcan popped out a child in clogs and a cape. "Lodo! Hahaha!" He said before crashing into a wall.
"Or over there." Whisper said pointing to a couple waiting for a bus as a yellow cloud like Yo-kai floated next to them. "Zis is ze life." He said.
"We're literally everywhere. So, use those watches and go make some Yo-kai friends!" Whisper said.
"You know, this might be the answer we're looking for." Valentine said.
"What do you mean?" Ranma asked.
"Shade Man want's to start a war across the universe right? Well, if we gather these Yo-kai and make them our allies, we might have a strong force to use against him." Valentine said.
"Yeah. That's perfect! We'll our Yo-kai vacation officially begins!" Jexi declared as Nate looked worried by all this.
