I've wanted to do this forever! I mean, everyone was saying how similar the two were. They are pretty similar, but different enough to actually notice the difference.

Ash will be going to the Yokai world. (Well, technically to Nate's world…) I can do it better than the other way around. I'll either make my own Yokai adventures or use the ones from the episodes. Let me know which one you guys want, okay?

I really hope you all enjoy this!

P.S. I don't own either Pokémon or Yo-Kai Watch.

Ash was walking along Route One on his way home, reminiscing about the day he and Pikachu met… And of course, Pikachu was thinking the same thing.

But that still left them to wonder… all those years ago… Why was Ho-Oh there?

That day was extremely special for them, as it was the day their bond really started to grow… Well, it was on the same day they met but still…

As they were walking, they decided to look up at the sky, thinking about the rainbow they had seen that day…

And they saw a rainbow now.

Their eyes sparkled like stars at the beautiful rainbow, as well as seeing a golden Ho-Oh flying their way…

Wait…. What?! Ho-Oh's flying to them?!

They stood in awe of her beauty…

"Chosen One, Ash Ketchum…"

Ash looked at Ho-Oh, having a feeling the one that spoke was her. "What is it?"

Ho-Oh decided to be blunt. "Well, we need you to go to another world."

Ash was confused. "'We?' Another world?"

"I mean all of the other legendaries and also…"

"Me, nyan!"

Ash looked toward the voice and saw…

Quite an interesting creature.

It was a burnt orange color with white paws, face, and chest. It was wearing a dark gray bandana held by a sort of pin/medal. Its ears were sticking out on top thanks to holes in the bandana.

It was wearing on open very light gray coat with a collar, a blue bell attached in the middle of the collar. It wore a yellow belt over the coat. Its pants were a dark red on the top and dark gray on the bottom. It seemed to be wearing small brown boots. It was also holding a sword. Its two tails had a blue flame at each end. The eyes were a bright yellow color with large black pupils.

It looked at Ash while doing a heroic pose. "I'm Wondernyan! Nya. I've ventured across many lands to find you!"

Ash looked confused while sweatdropping. "Um… Why were you looking for me Wondernyan? And, uh, how can you even talk?"

Pikachu asked the same thing in Pokéspeech, then sighed. Why couldn't he speak?

Ho-Oh continued, "Wondernyan here is a Yokai, beings that most cannot see. They are spirits who can control one's daily life, but some are friendly like this little one."

"Nya! We nyeed you, Ash!"

Ash was surprised. "Why do you need me?"

The legendary bird spoke once more. "Their world is in great danger, and only you can stop it. You are actually the only one in the Pokémon World able to see them, but it was hard to tell because there are no Yokai here. They all come from a different world than you or I."

Ash was a little surprised. 'Another… world, huh?' "How come only I can see them?"

Wondernyan said, "Because you were chosen, nyan. Don't ask me how or why, I just know. Will you help us?"

Ash exclaimed, "Of course I'll help! If you are in danger, then I'll do my best to help you and your other Yokai friends!"

Wondernyan looked up at Ash with stars in his eyes. "Thank you, nyan!" He then proceeded to jump on Ash's other shoulder, for barely mentioned Pikachu was on his other one.

Ho-Oh spoke. "Pikachu."

Pikachu looked up at her. "Yes? What is it?"

"I am sorry to say but… You won't be able to travel with Ash here."

Pikachu and Ash said at the same time, "WHAT?!"

The colorful bird continued to speak. "Pikachu cannot truly see the Yokai, as I am using my own power at the moment to aid him. And the people of the other world would find it absolutely strange and horrifying to see an unknown creature sitting on your shoulder. It can freak out the other Yokai as well."

"Nya, only Ash can come. She only has enyough energy to bring him and me. Anyway, you can't see Yokai. It'd just slow us down, and we nyeed to do it before it's too late."

Ash asked an important question. "What's causing trouble there?"

Ho-Oh answered him, "I am not completely sure, but I sense darkness… There is only one other who can see the Yokai. You will be able to tell if he is wearing a special watch: the Yokai Watch."

Wondernyan continued, "Nya, I heard he has a Yokai Butler that looks like a ghost! I think his nyame is Whisper."

"That is correct. However, that is all we know about him. Look for the one with the Watch, young Chosen One, and he shall explain everything. As proof show him this…"

Ho-Oh brought her wing forward to Ash, and he took the item on it. He recognized it almost right away. It was an Arceus ring pendant.

"What…?"

"That is a gift from Arceus himself to help you on your adventure. With this, you cannot be inspirited by Yokai. Wondernyan will help you out. He knows the way. Now, go through the portal, and good luck to you both."

A blue and purple portal appeared in front of them.

Ash decided to ask something first. "Hmmm… can I ask you something?"

Ho-Oh looked surprised. "What is it?"

Ash looked thoughtful. "Well, since this is a new world… Do I need to do anything to fit in?"

Ho-Oh looked like she smiled deviously at this. Maybe it was just Ash's imagination…

"There are only two things. One, no Pokémon. They have regular creatures (and invisible Yokai) instead, and they do not do battle. They are more like pets and wild animals I guess you can say. Secondly…"

"You have to go to school"

"...What?"

Pikachu snickered. Ash? In a school? He thought about it and…

He suddenly felt bad for the school.

Ash looked saddened at the thought. "Well, guess there's no going around it… We should probably go now…"

Pikachu jumped off of Ash and looked at him with teary eyes.

Ash was sad that he'd have to leave Pikachu behind, but was excited for a new adventure. "I guess… this is… good-bye?"

"Yeah, I-I guess so, Ash. Well good luck. I'll go tell everyone you're going to be gone for a while, so no need to worry! I'll be fine."

Dawn sneezed.

/

Ash sweatdropped. "Well… alright. Be safe okay? I don't want to go back to a Pokénapped Pikachu."

Pikachu laughed in his own, Pokémon kind of way. "Sure Ash. Just *sniff* come back soon, you hear?"

Ash nodded and smiled. He then turned to the portal with Wondernyan still on his shoulder. "You ready?"

"Yeah, nyan!"

"Then let's go!"

As they were going through the portal, Ash wondered what great and exciting adventures were ahead of him…

/

Finished the first part! Do you know how long it took me to find a Yokai to go with Ash?

One. Freaking. Hour.

I had to go on Yokai Watch Wibble Wobble to find the perfect Yokai, and even then I had to look it up on the Internet afterwards.

Do not worry, we will see Nate.

And yes, Ash will unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) go to school.

I hope you're looking forward to more!

I'll see you all soon! (I hope).

And please don't kill me for not letting Pikachu come along! You'll still see him, don't worry.

Um… Bye!

(Runs out of room).
