Chapter 34
A Double Play
AN: I am so so very sorry for the long wait it's been about two weeks and a half. I have had a rough last couple of weeks. And this next chapter is pretty bad so I am sorry again but my Grandmother recently died, I heard about how she got sick the day I posted the last chapter and so I have been really really busy. This fic is the result of me trying my best to put a new chapter out so it won't be the best but I hope you like it. Anyway so last time we have two chapters to start my two new story arcs and so to recap Zoey has a yo-kai watch and The nature club is going to work with them on a project. This is a battle packed chapter so it may be a disappointment to those who don't like battles. Here is the long-awaited chapter 34.
Disclaimer: I still don't own yo-kai watch, if I did then Lucy and Kelly would have been more important.
Nate was riding his bike to the park in Gourd Pond to meet up with Lucas and Lina. He was accompanied by Jibanyan and Whisper as always.
"Ah so another day wasted on not doing homework," said Whisper, "Really Nate you should get seriously finish your homework it will eventually catch up to you."
"Yeah right nyan, sure it will Nate's just been doing it little by little." said Jibanyan, "He'll be fine."
"Maybe but I think this is a little bit more important I talked with Lucas and he said he and Lina had a surprise they want to show me." said Nate, "Plus I haven't really hung out with them in a little while and I wonder how Lina is doing with yo-kai in her life."
"I too would like to see how the young girl is doing with yo-kai," said Whisper.
"I bet she made tons of yo-kai friends," said Jibanyan.
"Yeah she already made quite a few friends and it was pretty cool how she befriended Toiletta and they became best friends like me and Jibanyan," said Nate.
"Who said, we were best friends?" asked Jibanyan.
"Um, I feed you and you live with me," said Nate.
"Hey what about me, what am I? Chopped liver," said Whisper.
"Besides isn't your best friend Katie since she friend-zoned you?" asked Jibanyan.
"Well I was talking about yo-kai wise," said Nate.
"Well I guess you're okay," said Jibanyan, "Though you are a bit average."
"Uh," said Nate right before they came to a stop at the park. There they met up with Lucas, who was standing against the side of a wooden park bench, and Lina who was sitting on the bench both had smiles on their faces and with them was a girl with a wicked smirk on her face and gleam in her eyes that seemed a bit scary but it was nothing compared to the glare off her glasses which was the most unsettling feature of her joyful face.
"Zoey?!" said Nate.
"What's up Nate. You surprised to see me?" said Zoey with her signature eerie smile. Nate then saw the yo-kai watch on Zoey's left wrist. It was fluorescent blue with white to line the case and the lug.
"You have a yo-kai watch?!" said Nate surprised.
"Yup. Me and Lucas told her about it," said Lina with her small smile.
"Yeah, Mr. Goodsight has never been happier to have so many customers," said Lucas.
"I bet that's cool now we all have yo-kai watches," said Nate.
"Yeah, I was sorta surprised you had a yo-kai watch since you are so average but I guess appearances aren't what they seem right," said Zoey.
"Yeah Nate was the first one to know Lucas could see yo-kai," said Lina.
"So let's see who you've befriended," said Zoey. Zoey scanned around Nate with her yo-kai watch and found Jibanyan and Whisper. Nate scanned around Zoey and found Espy.
"Woah so you're friends with Espy wait are you reading my mind?" asked Nate.
"No, no, I am not but it is nice to meet another one of Zoey's human friends," said Espy.
"Hey so am I not good enough for you," said Toiletta coming from behind.
"Oh hey Toiletta," said Nate.
"Hey Nate," said Toiletta.
"Woah so you're friends with a nekomata and a... um, white blob," said Zoey.
"Hey I will have you know I am a very well know yo-kai in certain places," said Whisper in offense.
"Yeah right like where?" asked Jibanyan.
"Um… uh...ur," said Whisper.
"Huh, you are surprisingly cute for a yo-kai," said Zoey as she started petting the yo-kai scratching under his chin.
"Ah, that's good I haven't felt like this in a while." said Jibanyan, "Why don't you guys ever pet me?"
"I didn't think you would be comfortable with it," said Nate.
"Hey, why don't you pet me," said Espy, "I'm a dog."
"Yeah and I figured you would be uncomfortable if I did that," said Zoey.
"Well you're right but still you could have asked," said Espy.
"You knyow I am nyot just cute, I am pretty strong in a fight too," said Jibanyan.
"Oh really I bet I could knock you out with a couple hexes," said Toiletta.
"Nyo way." denied Jibanyan.
"You wanna bet." mocked Toiletta. Jibanyan then lit his tails and readied his paws. Toiletta followed by floating up and preparing two dark purple auras in her hands.
"Hey, hey guys save that for later that is actually what we wanted you here for Nate," said Lucas.
"What? What do you mean Lucas?" asked Nate.
"So, we wanted to have you come here to show you how Zoey got a yo-kai watch but also, we planned to have a team battle," said Lucas.
"A team battle?" said Nate and Jibanyan in confusion.
"Well, you see Nate—" started Whisper before he was cut off.
"The way Lucas explained it to me, we pick teams of two, and each person summons three yo-kai to battle with them to make a total of six. Then the two teams battle," said Lina.
"So I was thinking since Zoey is the newest person with a yo-kai watch she can team with me since I have the most experience with yo-kai," said Lucas.
"Sure, you just don't want me and Lina teaming up because we would be too good a team," said Zoey.
"No, besides me and Lucas have befriended a lot of powerful yo-kai," said Nate.
"And we haven't," argued Zoey.
"I don't know I just don't think so considering how long it took for me to befriend some powerful yo-kai but maybe you do have a powerful team of yo-kai," said Nate honestly.
"So it's me and you, Nate," said Lina with her smile bright to both Lucas and Zoey's annoyance less to the former.
"Yeah it will be nice to battle with you," said Nate before they tapped their watches together like a high-five but with their wrists. Jibanyan and Toiletta begrudgingly shook hands.
"You better be as strong as you say you are," said Toiletta with a frown opposite to her human friend.
"And you better nyot screw this up," said Jibanyan.
"So it's you and me, Lucas, let's do this," said Zoey.
"Yup I bet we'll make a great team," said Lucas.
"I may not be able to see the future but I can see a victory for us," said Espy.
"Okay so to do this just switch the team settings in your watch and only put in three yo-kai then summon them," explained Lucas.
"Mhm!" said Zoey, Lina, and Nate as they did as told.
"Everyone ready?" asked Lucas.
"Yup," said Lina.
"Yeah," said Zoey.
"Yes," said Nate.
"Okay calling our yo-kai friends, hear our call and come to us from where ever you are!" said Lucas, Lina, Zoey, and Nate. Each of their watches were flooded with energy and then shot out spirals of light.

Nate summoned Jibanyan who was already there, Komashura, and Kyubi. Lucas summoned Gilgaros. Blizzaria, and Bloomnoko. Lina summoned Toiletta who like Jibanyan was already there, Hungorge, and Mirapo. Zoey summoned Espy who like, Toiletta and Jibanyan was already there, Suspiconi, and Armsman.
"Uhhh, why do you call me Nate, I gave you my medal but that doesn't mean you can call me whenever you like. I am very busy," said Kyubi.
"Hey you should show more respect to this human boy he is very powerful," said Komashura. Komashura's aura immediately intimidated Kyubi but then he looked around and saw Lucas and then grinned, "Hmm so this might actually be interesting I'll humor you besides it is an honor to fight alongside legendary yo-kai even I know that."
"Wow!" said Zoey and Lina who were both impressed by the yo-kai that surrounded them.
"Is that a Kyubi?" asked Zoey.
"Why yes, I am. Impressed?" said Kyubi his voice filled with arrogance.
"Yes I am you are incredible," said Zoey.
"I think I like Komashura here better," said Lina, "I mean the ultimate Komainu."
"Awe, well this one here seems to have good taste," said Komashura.
"Oh, so you befriended quite the powerful yo-kai," said Lucas looking at Kyubi and Komashura, "even befriended another legendary yo-kai."
"Yeah, I am befriending a lot of strong yo-kai," said Nate.
"Seriously you both have befriended some awesome yo-kai," said Zoey.
"Yeah but so have we now let's get this thing started," said Lina.
"I agree enough chit chat," said Toiletta before she slung a ball of purple energy at Zoey and Lucas' team of yo-kai. Blizzaria created a wall of ice to block the attacks.
"Not on my watch," said Blizzaria.
"Wow nice one Blizzaria," said Zoey.
"Yeah, nice job taking one for the team," said Lucas.
Suspiconi then rushed forward and tossed a purple aura at Hungorge. Jibanyan was about to jump to attack but then Hungorge tripped him causing him to fall. Kyubi and Komashura conjured balls of fire and tossed them at Lucas' yo-kai Gilgaros took all the blows but even knocked a few back at the two fire yo-kai. Kyubi went into a defensive position taking the fire attacks while Komashura took the backlash fire attack head-on and the charged forward to unleash more fire on the other legendary yo-kai. Blizzaria tried to block the attack but Komashura's ball of fire immediately destroyed Blizzaria's ice wall and hit the ice elemental burning her real badly. Jibanyan recovered and rushed to fight but was blocked by Armsman who took the punch from the feline and then punched cat yo-kai back.
"Yeah Armsman," said Zoey.
"You got this Jibanyan," said Nate.
"Out of the way you…" Jibanyan was cut off as Espy rose behind Armsman and said, "you were about to call my friend rust bucket am I right?" said the psychic dog to a
speechless Jibanyan. "Well, that's not very nice." Espy then sucker-punched Jibanyan in the stomach and Armsman copied dealing double damage to the cat yo-kai in his weak spot. Hungorge's healing was necessary but he refused to give it he was too suspicious of everyone but that didn't stop him from attacking everyone. The elder yo-kai quickly got into a fight with the yo-kai that inspirited him trying to eat the oni while the oni tried to slap the yo-kai that tried to eat it. Mirapo did it's best to deflect attacks and do some damage but didn't last long due to all the physical fighting. Mirapo was the first to go. Gilgaros and Blizzaria tried to fight Kyubi and Komashura but their firepower overwhelmed Blizzaria while their agility was confusing to Gilgaros but both wouldn't stop fighting yet. Hungorge surprisingly was able to eat suspicioni turning him into a wisp. So he started healing his allies because he was freed from his inspiritment. Jibanyan was having trouble taking on Espy and Armsman. Every time Jibanyan tried to attack Espy knew exactly how to dodge and guided Armsman to avoid his attacks too and then delivered counter attacks where Jibanyan was weak. Espy predicted his every move and Armsman delivered powerful blows. Jibanyan even tried using his tails but the fire they shot was blocked by Espy's rockfall attacks.
"You think it's hopeless am I right?" asked Espy as Espy and Armsman towered over a nearly fallen Jibanyan. Jibanyan struggled to try to get up. Espy and Armsman were then both hit by purple beams and drained of energy.
Toiletta said, "Hey he may be hopeless but we're not going down to you." Toiletta then hit Espy with a curse.
Espy said, "Dang it, you ruffians." before trying to hit the urban legend of the school with a barrage of rocks. Toiletta was about to get hit but then Jibanyan darted up and punched all the rocks away pelting Armsman with rocks.
"That's thanks for the save earlier," said Jibanyan.
"I guess we're even," said Toiletta. The two then grinned at each other and then prepared to fight Armsman and Espy together. Jibanyan fought with Armsman hand to hand while Espy and Toiletta clashed from above them.
Nate and Lina shared a fist bump.
"Now that those two are finally working together they might have a chance," said Whisper.
"Yeah I think we make a good team," said Lina.
"Yeah, we do," said Nate.
Kybui and Komashura were still fighting with Blizaria and Gilgaros. Kybui and Komashura despite not really liking each other were fighting in perfect sync. When Kyubi punched, Komashura had his back with a blazing ball to block any incoming attacks. While Komahura took on Gilgaros Kyubi took on Blizzaria then they switched opponents and then they switched again and again. Kyubi launched a beam of fire at Gilgaros who was burned by the attack. Gilgaros tried to hit Kyubi with his club but Kyubi swiftly spun and dodged around the club to slap Gilgaros with his nine thick furred tails then darted away to switch places with Komashura who left Blizzaria with a ball of fire which Kyubi knocked into Blizzaria with his tails. Kyubi then rapidly tossed balls of fire to pierce through the sheets of ice Blizzaria created. Kyubi then flew over to Blizzaria to wink in a flash before smacking her with his tails saying, "Sorry sweetie." Kyubi then threw a ball of fire at the yo-kai who rolled on the ground to dodge. Blizzaria got up and then unleashed a powerful cold front to hit Kyubi. Kyubi was knocked back but then swapped with Komashura. Komashura then unleashed a wave of heat to counter the cold front causing a steamy explosion that blinded both Gilgaros and Blizzaria. Kyubi used his sense of smell to dart up and slap Gilgaros in the face with his nine yellow tails. Komashura then punched the ground and created pillars of fire to hit Blizzaria. Komashura then rushed in and with fists and feet blazing he was able to destroy all the ice attacks like ice wall and blizzards with his flaming body. When he broke all the ice in his way the legendary komainu threw the gloves of fire at Blizzaria practically incinerating her and her ice but she powered through until they switched again.
"Can't take the heat, my dear," said Kyubi not like a question but as he was stating a
fact. Komashura dodged Gilgaros' club and his fist and a few stomps before completely engulfing the oni in fire just by touching him.
"Haha taste my power Gilgaros!" said Komashura.
"ARRRRRRH!" said Gilgaros.
Jibanyan and Toiletta finished off Armsman and Espy pretty quickly. Without Espy to
guide him Armsman was completely vulnerable especially to Jibanyan's fiery attacks and once Armsman was down Jibanyan and Toiletta were easily able to double team on Espy and quickly took down the psychic dog taking Zoey's team out. Next, they were fighting the only thing keeping Gilgaros and Blizzaria alive in the fight Bloominoko. Though it wasn't as easy as they thought it would be. The luck filled slimy snake easily dodged most of their attacks and Toiletta's curses just slid right off of it. Bloominoko on the other hand was able to hit both yo-kai again and again like it was a pinball through its attacks were weak. It was still able to heal its allies. Jibanyan jumped up to punch it but was poofed into a wisp when he was smacked in the jaw by its tail.
"Wow that Noko is fast," said Zoey.
"Yeah." said Lucas, "Some things aren't what they seem."
"You can say that again," said Zoey.
Now Toiletta didn't have much chance since she couldn't inspirit the snake. Bloominoko was about to hit her with a spring-loaded weapon but when it launched it flew right into the mouth of Hungorge who just ate it and like the oni before it Bloominoko was defeated.
"Thanks, Hungorge," said Toiletta before going to help the others. Hungorge just
continued to eat. Komashura finished Blizzaria with a blast of fire reducing her to a wisp. Gilgaros was the last one standing on Lucas and Zoey's team. It was four on one Kyubi, Komashura, Toiletta, and Hungorge. Gilgaros immediately crushed Hungorge with a single swing of his club and then faced the rest of his opponents. Toiletta quickly hit Gilgaros with a dark wave of energy to hex him. Komashura and Kyubi attacked with incredibly powerful fire attacks Gilgaros took each of them. Gilgaros swung his club which barely missed both fire yo-kai.
Toiletta flew up and became surrounded in a purple aura, "Curse You!" She screamed
as she threw a very dark curse at Gilgaros engulfing even the legendary oni in a dark aura. Gilgaros didn't take much damage but he grew tired and felt mild growing pain and discomfort. Toiletta floated down and said, "Now's your chance, you guys."
"She's right I guess it is time to prove how legendary you actually are," said Kyubi
before flying up high.
"I will show to respect my name, you fox," said Komashura.
"Inferno," said Kyubi as he conjured a massive ball of fire.
"Shura shower," said Komashura as he became surrounded in a blazing red aura and
then he and Kyubi unleashed their fiery attack. Kyubi unleashed the fireball he summoned but that was nothing compared to the storm of fire that Komashura called forth. Gilgaros was hit by both attacks at once, Kyubi's ball of fire exploded on contact. Gilgaros was enveloped in searing flames for a human it would be similar to having your skin burned off until there was nothing but bone. Nate, Lina, Lucas, and Zoey all had to move back. Gilgaros fell to the floor they did the near impossible Kyubi and Komashura and Toiletta took down the golden legendary Oni, Gilgaros.
"Well it looks like we did it, I guess you do live up to your legendary status," said Kyubi,
"You have my respect, it is very hard to earn."
"I bet it is, you Kyubis are very arrogant souls but you do not impress me, I heard my
descendant defeated you despite the fact that you are supposed to be the stronger yo-kai. You are fairly weak but I bet you would benefit from learning from this human he actually has my respect and your own." said Komashura, "Thank you for the battle Nate it was amazing."
"Sure thing." said Nate, "Anytime." Komashura then faded away waving bye. Lucas, Lina, and Zoey were giving food to the yo-kai that fought well.
"Heck yeah that was fun." said the newly revived Jibanyan.
"You were defeated though," said Blizzaria.
"So were you and I but I understand the battle was exhilarating and thrilling," said Espy.
"You just got that from his mind didn't you?" asked Toiletta.
"Yes, I did," said Espy.
"Hey stay out of my mind," said Jibanyan.
"Meh, fine," said Espy.
"You were great Toiletta," said Jibanyan.
"Yeah you were," said Lina.
"Ah thanks." said Toiletta, "It was actually pretty cool to fight with you Jibanyan."
"You're just saying that," said Jibanyan with an embraced look.
"Yes, yes she is," said Espy.
"Hey get out of my mind," said Toiletta.
"Yeah… wait…" said Jibanyan as realization struck.
"I didn't have to," said Espy.
"Yeah anyone could tell," said Blizzaria.
"Hmm well, that was a nice match, ladies," said Kyubi as he came over to them and flashed his signature smile. Toiletta and Blizzaria both immediately gained heart eyes and swooned. Espy just grew shy and became flushed. Kyubi said, "Ah yes another three hearts. Ah if only they were human."
Jibanyan growled and said, "Kyubi."
Kyubi said, "Don't you start with me you can't even take on a truck much less me." He then went over to Nate and said, "Thanks for the battle it was surprisingly fun."
Nate said, "I'm glad you enjoyed it."
Zoey said, "It was nice meeting you."
"You as well my darling," said Kyubi.
"Wow he really is a different yo-kai around girls," said Nate.
"You mean the ladies Nathen," said Kyubi.
"Most guys are Nate," said Whisper.
"Gilgaros have fun." said Gilgaros, "Thanks for the fun. It has been a while since Gilgaros has been felled."
"Yeah I was a bit surprised." said Lucas, "But if anyone could do it, it would be you and Lina."
"Well actually it was us," said Kyubi giving Lucas a knowing glare Lucas did like it one bit, "Anyway I am out farewell." Kyubi then flew off.
"Well it seems like we all have some pretty powerful yo-kai friends," said Nate.
"You and Lucas have some and Lina too but me and my yo-kai friends will get stronger too," said Zoey.
"Why don't you take some of these," said Whisper as he gave Zoey some old equipment.
"What is this garbage," said Zoey.
"This is equipment," said Whisper, "Yo-kai can use it to increase their skills."
"Yes, Nate has most of his yo-kai equipped with this equipment to power up their strength, speed, and spirit as well defense," said Espy
"Oh cool," said Zoey.
"Hey, Zoey I have been meaning to ask how did you and Espy meet up and become partners?" asked Nate.
"Well you see it isn't that exciting Lucas, Lina, and I were walking around shoppers row," said Zoey.
"I was inspiriting a stranger who was posing as a psychic," said Espy, "So Zoey being naturally attracted to these things came over and checked it out with her yo-kai watch, enter me."
"Lucas wasn't surprised and Lina just thought she was pretty cute," said Zoey.
"That's true," said Lina.
"I on the other hand wondered why Espy was wasting her power on so random person," said Zoey.
"Being me I answer her question, by saying I don't have much else better to do," said Espy.
"I, of course, think hey maybe I can fix that, and being Espy she reads my mind and bets I can't and I bet I can so we have a wager," said Zoey.
"Long story short she teaches me how fun not knowing what happens in someone's head can be fun, like watching a dramatic TV show, reading a book, or playing a video game and I learn to turn off my psychic ability. We become great friends because of that and here we are," said Espy.
"Cool," said Nate.
"Yeah," said Jibanyan.
"Ah yes all yo-kai and human friendships are amazing." said Whisper.
"Anyways Nate we actully called you here for more than just a battle." said Lucas.
"Yes now that Zoey and I have yo-kai watches we were able to discuss what we were going to do next with the ghost club." said Lina.
"Okay so what are we doing?" asked Nate.
"Well we are teaming up with the nature club to investigate the old mansion." said Zoey.
"So we are finally going there." said Lucas, "Not only does Zoey know there is a lot of rumors around that place but now they know it is a yo-kai infested place."
"Okay so when are we going?" asked Nate.
"Tommorow night." said Lina.
"Okay I guess then we are going to a haunted mansion." said Nate.
AN: Again this probably wasn't worth the wait but at least I got a new one out. So we have the first-ever double battle between yo-kai watchers. Nate and Lina finally defeated the legendary Oni, this battle format will be very rare but I would like feedback on how to improve them like if I should do this again, if I should do a twelve on twelve, if I should change the battles, if Nate and the other humans should be more involved, or etc. I know Zoey and Espy meeting was a little simple but not just me being a bit tired, I thought Zoey and Espy meeting more simple fit better since they were less stressed than Lina and Toiletta. Also I know I wasn't able to write much but I did prewrite some stories for Amourshipping day, the pokemon shipping day for Ash and Serena if you are interested please go check it out I posted two one-shots. Also, I am glad that the Dodgers won the world series for any of you American baseball fans, I am a Dodgers fan. By the way, I did also get an AO3 account under the same name as my account not very significant to most of you since if you are reading this you are on which has more of my stuff than AO3 since this is my main place for fanfic. Anyway, I hope you liked it. Please review. Also, this chapter is in memory of Lillia Navarrete.
