Nate Adams versus Team Rocket
Nate Adams, a boy who befriends yo-kai thanks to him owning a Yo-kai Watch, was walking up the shrine up on Mount Wildwood one Saturday morning. Accompanying the Adams boy was Jibanyan, one of his many yo-kai friends. "So Nyate, why are we heading up to the shrine on the mountain?" Jibanyan asked.
"I'm planning on praying at the shrine to pay my respects to my late grandfather," Nate explained to the nekomata yo-kai, "Granted, my grandfather actually lived in the Harrisville area, but that's a bit out of the way for me."
"I bet that your grandfather would have been very proud of you, Nyate," Jibanyan remarked, "He sounds like a swell guy to me."
"It's a darn shame that he died before I was born," Nate said in a resigned and mildly somber tone.
"Forgive me if asking this is a touchy subject, but do you know how he died?" Jibanyan asked.
With a mildly stumped look on his face, Nate replied, "…You know what? I don't think I ever learned about how my grandfather died. I guess that it never came up."
"Despite how morbid this may sound, I kind of want to know how it happened," Jibanyan said as he and his human friend reached the top of the steps to the shrine on Mount Wildwood. With the very shrine in question just a few meters ahead, Jibanyan said, "Oh, there's the shrine, Nyate!"
"Yeah, let's take care of our visit here," Nate remarked as he and Jibanyan approached the shrine. However, before the two of them could get close, a few smoke bombs blew up was thrown at the ground between the two of them and the shrine. "The heck is going on?!" Nate exclaimed as he and Jibanyan both coughed.
"MHUHAHAHAHAHA!" a haughty female voice called out in laughter, "We finally have you right where we want you, twerp!" At that point, two people appeared standing on top of the roof of the Mount Wildwood shrine, getting the attention of Nate and Jibanyan.
The first person was a guy; he had fair skin, lavender hair, and he wore a white long-sleeved shirt with a big bold capital letter 'R' in the center, black gloves that almost reached his elbows, white pants, black boots that nearly reached his knees, and a black shirt that could barely be seen under the bottom of his white shirt.
The second person was a girl; she was fair-skinned as well, but she had long dark reddish-pinkish hair that formed a sort-of curve, and she wore a variation of the guy's outfit where the white shirt/black shirt combo exposed more of her midriff, she wore a skirt rather than pants, her gloves went halfway up her biceps, and the boots reached halfway up her thighs.
Nate could pretty much tell that it had been this girl who had called out. However, before he could even begin to question these people who suddenly showed up, they began to recite some sort of motto.
"Prepare for trouble!" the girl of the pair declared.
"And make it double!" the guy of the pair said.
"To protect the world from devastation!" the girl said.
"To unite all people within our nation!" the guy continued.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" the girl went on.
"To extend our reach to the stars above!" the guy added.
"Jessie!" the girl declared as she stated her name.
"James!" the guy stated as he gave his name.
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie exclaimed.
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James declared.
A bipedal cat-like creature with cream-colored fur, with brown fur on the tips of its paws and tail, an oval-shaped coin embedded into its forehead, a few prominent whiskers, and black-lined ears popped out, standing between Jessie and James. "Meowth!" the cat-like creature said as it identified itself, "That's rig-" Meowth stopped short upon seeing Nate and Jibanyan standing there. Turning to face the humans he was with, Meowth said, "Uhh, guys? I think that we got the wrong twerp here."
Curious, Jessie and James looked over to where Nate and Jibanyan stood. Upon seeing the two, Jessie and James both became shocked. "Hey, you two aren't the twerp and his Pikachu!" James declared as he pointed at Nate and Jibanyan.
"The heck is a Pikachu?!" Nate exclaimed, "And while we're on the subject, who the heck are you guys?!"
"We're Team Rocket!" Jessie proclaimed, "We're a group dedicated to stealing everyone's Pokémon and taking over the world!"
"The heck is a Pokémon?" Jibanyan asked, a confused look on his face. Upon hearing Jibanyan talk, Team Rocket all turned to face him.
"Is that some rare species of cat Pokémon?!" Jessie exclaimed in excitement. Turning to face her teammates, Jessie said, "Boys, if we steal the boy's cat Pokémon and bring it to the boss, he'll be sure to be pleased with us!"
"You can't steal Jibanyan!" Nate declared, "Also, he's not one of those Pokémon things you all keep going on about! He's a yo-kai!"
"Yo…kai?" James said in a confused tone, "Is that what Pokémon are called by the people living in these parts?"
"Who cares what the locals call Pokémon?!" Jessie said as she took out a red and white ball that was about the size of a golf ball. Pressing a button on the ball, which made the ball grow to roughly the size of a baseball, Jessie said, "We got us a rare Pokémon to steal for the boss!" Tossing the ball that she just took out, Jessie exclaimed, "Go, Arbok!"
"Go, Weezing!" James said as he took out a red and white ball, made it grow, then tossed it. The two red and white balls both popped open, letting out some sort of energy that morphed into bizarre creatures that Nate had never seen before; the first creature, called Arbok, was a giant purple cobra with an intimidating-looking pattern on the hood that was located just under its head. The second creature, called Weezing, was a pair of floating purple heads that were joined together, linked by tubes that were joined by a third sphere that bore no face. The larger of the two heads had a skull and crossbones pattern under its face, whereas the smaller of the two heads simply had an oval shape. There was smoke occasionally coming out of Weezing.
"Holy crud, Nyate!" Jibanyan exclaimed, "I think we might be in trouble here!"
"Then I guess I better call in some friends!" Nate said as he took two circular medals out of his pocket. Inserting the first medal into his Yo-kai Watch, Nate said, "Come on out, my friend! Calling Venoct! Yo-kai medal, do you thing!" Suddenly, dancing lights in a pattern came out of Nate's Yo-kai Watch, then after a jingle that came out of nowhere played, a humanoid yo-kai dressed like a ninja appeared.
Although he had two of his yo-kai friends out now (Jibanyan came with him to the shrine), Nate still had one last friend to bring in. "Come on out, my friend!" Nate said as he stuck the other yo-kai medal he took out into his Yo-kai Watch, "Calling Kyubi! Yo-kai medal, do you thing!" After more dancing lights and another jingle, a bipedal nine-tailed kitsune covered in gold fur with purple highlights appeared, standing next to Venoct.
"The heck kind of Pokémon are those?!" Jessie exclaimed in a tone that was two-parts alarm and eight-parts confusion as she pointed to Venoct and Kyubi.
"What did you just call us?" Venoct asked in a mildly annoyed tone, regarding the female Team Rocket member with a confused look. Turing around to face Nate, Venoct asked while jerking a thumb at Team Rocket, "Hey Nate, who are these jokers supposed to be? Discount villains from a live-action show from the nineteen-eighties?"
"I've seen villains from cereal commercials that have more potential than these clowns," Kyubi remarked as he crossed his arms over his chest, his tone sounding almost bored. Pointing to Arbok and Weezing, Kyubi asked, "And what are those things supposed to be? Wild life that mutated due to a sewage treatment plant being careless in disposing of its waste?"
"I have no clue who they are or what their monsters are," Nate replied, "All I know is that they're trying to cause trouble, and that they want to kidnap Jibanyan for some reason."
"…Well I am kind of eager to give those creatures a good thrashing," Venoct remarked, cracking his knuckles.
"I suppose testing my mettle against opponents I've never encountered before might be a little fun," Kyubi added as he held up a hand, a small pillar of flame sparking to life in the palm of said hand.
"Like we'll ever lose to a twerp and his talking Pokémon!" Jessie proclaimed. Pointing forward, Jessie said, "Arbok, use Bite on that humanoid ninja Pokémon!"
"Weezing, use Tackle on that nine-tailed fox Pokémon!" James ordered.
The two Pokémon of Team Rocket rushed forward to attack their targets. Arbok opened its mouth as it came at Venoct, and proceeded to bite down. However, it bit down on the arm guard of Venoct's left forearm; the S-rank yo-kai raised his arm to block the attack. As Arbok was still biting down on his arm guard, Venoct raised one of the dragon heads on his scarf and had it bite down on the edge of Arbok's hood, making Arbok release it's biting hold and cry out in pain.
As Weezing flew forward towards Kyubi in an attempt to ram into him, the kitsune yo-kai very easily dodged the attack by jumping to the side by about three feet. Due to momentum, Weezing kept going until it slammed face-first into a tree. As it removed itself from the tree, Weezing said its name in a very dazed tone.
"Grr," Jessie growled in an annoyed tone, "This kid's weird Pokémon must be very well trained. That'll make capturing them and bringing them to the boss all the more difficult!"
"Then I'll step in!" Meowth declared as he jumped into the fray. Running up to Jibanyan, Meowth used Scratch, striking Jibanyan across the face.
"Ouch!" Jibanyan cried out, "That hurt, you jerk!" Jibanyan retaliated by attacking Meowth with Sharp Claws, dealing two hits. Meowth struck Jibanyan with Scratch again, then Jibanyan used Fire, striking Meowth in the face with the elemental attack and startling Meowth into stumbling backwards a bit.
"Guys, we ought to fall back!" Meowth said in a wary tone, "We're going to lose at this rate!"
"Right!" James said as he and Jessie recalled their injured Pokémon. With Meowth following them, Jessie and James ran to behind the shrine, then a few seconds later, Team Rocket's hot air balloon floated up from behind the shrine as it flew into the sky. While Team Rocket was flying away, Jessie used a mechanical device of some kind to capture Jibanyan, trapping him in a large cage that was attached to the bottom of the hot air balloon's basket.
"Ah ha!" Jessie proclaimed in a boastful tone, "We still got the boy's talking cat Pokémon! We still got something out of this in the end!"
Nate, with an almost bored expression, took out another yo-kai medal and stuck it into his Yo-kai Watch. "Come on out, my friend," Nate said in an almost bored tone, "Calling Jibanyan. Yo-kai medal, do your thing." A portal of some kind appeared over Jibanyan's head in the cage. Jibanyan jumped up into the portal, then about a second later, he reappeared as he came out of Nate's Yo-kai Watch. Team Rocket was stunned that Nate was able to take Jibanyan back from them so easily.
"Yeah, about that," Nate said to Team Rocket as Kyubi began to charge up a powerful attack, "It's pretty much pointless to try and kidnap one of my yo-kai friends. I can very easily get them back from you by summoning them."
"How dare you stop us from succeeding in our plans!" Jessie snapped at the Adams boy, "You're more of a nuisance than the twerp that James, Meowth and I have to deal with on the regular-" Jessie was cut off when Kyubi, who had finished charging his Soultimate, threw the Inferno at Team Rocket, striking their hot air balloon and destroying the balloon part, making Team Rocket fly away into the horizon in a very quick spiral.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Jessie, James and Meowth cried out in unison as they all disappeared over the horizon. After Team Rocket was gone, Nate, Jibanyan and Venoct all turned to face Kyubi.
"…What?" Kyubi replied.
"Dude, nice one!" Venoct remarked as he offered Kyubi a high-five, which was accepted.
Later that day, after Nate and Jibanyan returned home, Nate said as he and Jibanyan went up the stairs, "I hope that I never have to deal with those weirdos from the Mount Wildwood shrine ever again. I've had more than my fair share of weird stuff for today because of them."
"I think they had more meow than scratch, Nyate," Jibanyan remarked.
Nate nodded in agreement as he opened his bedroom door and walked into his bedroom with Jibanyan following him. When the two of them entered Nate's bedroom, they were greeted by Whisper, Nate's yo-kai butler. "Welcome back, Nate," Whisper said, "Was your trip to the shrine on Mount Wildwood productive?" Saying nothing, Nate simply turned around and left his bedroom, with Jibanyan following him.
THE END.
