Chapter 37

No Escape

AN: Here it is chapter 37, last time in AN I tried to get people thinking about the plot of this story I hope it worked in this Chapter Nate does some thinking himself. I really hope you like this chapter since it is fairly short.

Disclaimer: I still don't own yo-kai watch if I did I probably would have made an app for statistics for it.

Nate was hanging out at home it had been relatively quiet lately since the zeal Lina and Zoey had for their yo-kai watches had died down a little bit, they were planning what they were going to check out next with the Wildlife club. Nate was surprised the Wildlife club was even coming to this next one after what happened last time but I guess they were ready for more. Nate just knew it wasn't going to be in the museum or the old mansion. So Nate had a few peaceful days just to play video games, watch TV with Jibanyan, and do a tiny bit of his homework for the summer. Jibanyan took a break too, figuring he was working hard enough helping Nate fight powerful yo-kai. Whisper looked down on both of them think they really should have spent this time of peace to work on something productive like a large chunk of Nate's homework, training Jibanyan up, prepping Nate's teams, cleaning Nate's room and his medals, getting his watch checked for maintenance, and checking in with Hidabat.

Nate had been doing more than nothing, little to Whisper's idea, he was thinking. The boy with the yo-kai watch was thinking deeply. Nate kept looking at his watch one of the many thoughts going through his head he was thinking about how strange it was he had no idea how Mr. Goodsight had been able to constantly fix, repair, and even upgrade it to the state it was at now. Nate would have been impressed by whoever created the thing then again he knew Mr. Goodsight was actually a yo-kai so it was probably made by a yo-kai.

"Hey Whisper who made the yo-kai watch in the first place?" asked Nate the question piquing his curiosity.

"Oh well, that was Steve Jaws he is one of the greatest innovators in the yo-kai world some might call him the best. He came out with many yo-kai products like your yo-kai watch, my yo-kai pad, and various other things." said Whisper, "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, I was just wondering. Makes sense it was made by a yo-kai," said Nate going back to his thoughts, no way a human could have made this thing he thought to himself. Nate's summer had certainly been eventful he had fought several powerful yo-kai and befriended stronger. He thought back though why were those yo-kai so powerful compared to the rest.

He figured Whisper might know why so he asked, "Hey Whisper why are those um, Boss yo-kai so much stronger than the other yo-kai?"

"What Nate?" asked Whisper confused by the question his master asked.

"You know like Slimamander, Spoink, SV Snaggerjag, Massiface, Phantasmurai, Chirpster, and Gargaros, and Ogralus," said Nate.

"Yeah, how the heck are they so strong? I want a taste of that action," said Jibanyan.

"Well, each of that powerful yo-kai have different ways of becoming so powerful with yo-kai like Spoink, SV Snaggerjag, Massiface, and Chirpster they must be drawing a lot of power from the yo-kai world or yo-kai hot spots. In the case of Slimamander, he probably built up energy all these years or it's just because he is a powerful ancient yo-kai. With the two Oni, it is probably because they get a power boost or something in Terror time and, Phantasmuri I have no idea." said Whisper.

"Huh thanks Whisper maybe I'll actually set up some new teams and prepared them," said Nate.

"That is a splendid idea, Nate." said Whisper, "I am glad you are finally taking my advice."

"Yeah I guess I mean I better be prepared especially since Lina and Zoey have a lot of plans for the ghost club. I hope not all the areas we go to will be filled with super powerful yo-kai," said Nate.

"Well, I do it's been amazing training I feel so powerful. In a few days, I bet I will finally beat that car I mean look at all your other yo-kai friends they have become so powerful I bet my time is just around the cornyer," said Jibanyan.

"Maybe but Jibanyan how come you don't just use Roughraff or Coughkoff to help you out I bet Thornyan or Baddinyan could easily beat a truck," said Nate.

"Yes based on their feats plus the growth of you and your fusion partners both of your fused counterparts would be incredibly strong." said Whisper showing stats off his yo-kai pad.

"How do you know all these statistics?" asked Nate.

"Oh, just an app on my yo-kai pad." said Whisper showing him the app. Nate nodded.

"Nyo, Nyo, Nyo, I have to do this myself pure me that is the only way," said Jibanyan shaking away bad memories.

"Okay well then I guess your goal will just take a little longer." said Nate with a smile, "You can do it Jibanyan you are one of my best fighters."

"Thanks, Nyate." said Jibanyan.

"You do have legendary blood flowing through your veins," said Whisper.

"Yeah," said Jibanyan, "I am going to make Shogunyan proud." Nate was glad Jibanyan was pumped but that got him thinking about something else. Nate had lied a lot ever since he got the yo-kai watch. Not to Jibanyan, really did believe in that little cat but he had lied to others like his teacher, his parents, and his friends. He had to lie to cover up so many yo-kai as well as his strange behavior maybe that's why he loved to have Lucas as a friend he finally had someone to talk to who understood what Nate was going through but now Nate guessed he didn't. Lucas told both his closest friends maybe in part because of Nate. Nate was glad, he enjoyed Lina and Zoey knowing about yo-kai and it made Lucas so happy but Nate couldn't tell his friends they probably couldn't handle it or maybe they would hate him for bringing them into this troublesome way of living. Nate could not tell his parents they would not understand, or it might scare them, or something. Nate didn't really like to lie to people but he guessed that having the yo-kai watch made him into a liar. Nate sighed and then went up to his room to grab his now four medalliums this new one was green like how his first was red his second was dark blue, and his third was an odd yellow. The human boy opened up all four medalliums and took off his watch and set it to his team arranger mode. Whisper and Jibanyan then sat down with him at least Jibanyan did, and they recommended yo-kai to put in teams and items to equip to them. Nate didn't do this often but when he did both his yo-kai companions tried their best to help with both of them talking it was hard to get much done but most of the time they made great points they were the yo-kai after all. After a while, they finally finished Nate had five great teams to choose from now at least quickly he could still summon yo-kai one at a time if he needed to.

"Wow, that took longer than I thought," said Nate.

"Yes making a yo-kai team takes quite a while much less five teams," said Whisper.

"Hey at least you are ready for anything Nyate," said Jibanyan.

"Yeah, anything that comes our way," said Nate forgetting about his thoughts for a bit but then a weird feeling washed over his body like something changed outside. Nate was curious so he walked to the door of his house followed by Jibanyan and Whisper who were curious as well.

"Did you guys feel that?" asked Nate.

"Yes, I did, that's peculiar," said Whisper.

"Yeah, nyormally you're the only one who doesn't feel anything," said Jibanyan. Nate opened the door and stepped outside to look around but then suddenly the door behind him slammed closed and his whole world turned grey.

"Oh no," said Nate.

"Uh-oh," said Whisper.

"Nyot terror time!" shouted Jibanyan. But all their fears were confirmed and worsened by a large roar, "AAARRRRRRR!"

"Oh no, it's Ogralus!" said Nate.

"Yeah he beat us to a pulp last time," said Jibanyan.

"And I bet he is even more mad because of what happened last time," said Whisper.

"Maybe we can fight him I mean we just made several teams." said Jibanyan, "One of them has to work."

"Yeah you're right." said Nate before feeling his arm realizing he hadn't put the watch back on, "I don't' have the Watch!"

"That's really not good now you can't summon any yo-kai. I guess this means our only option is to—" Whisper was cutoff though as Jibanyan finished his sentence for him, "RUN!" Nate, Jibanyan, and Whisper did their best running and avoiding all Oni at all costs. Jibanyan was able to take out a few of Ogralus' lackeys and Whisper guided them to the door. Things were looking so well until…

"I think we are almost there just a block or so away," said Whisper.

"That's good." said Nate, "Almost home free."

"Oh I don't think so!" said Ogralus as a torrent of water exploded in front of Nate, Jibanyan, and Whisper, and Ogralus suddenly appeared.

"RAAAAAHHH!" he shouted as he appeared in front of them each of his targets had faces of fear painted on them, "You escaped me last time but this time you won't be so lucky. I don't normally have to teleport to my targets but for the worse of trouble makers I make exceptions and you are one of the worst trouble makers I have seen in a couple hundred years. Prepare to be punished for your lies and trickery." Nate had no way out this time he knew he couldn't pull a stunt like last time and with no watch, fighting was not possible especially with Jibanyan who was defeated in one hit. Ogralus raised his club like he was raising judgment upon Nate. Nate was ready to accept his fate but then something happened. Jibanyan tossed a purple aura that in the one in a million chance actually stuck to Ogralus. Jibanyan then tossed flames from his tails burning Ogralus' hands stopping his attack.

"Quick, Nyate run, don't worry about me, just go, now is your chance," said Jibanyan who was about to take on an Oni all by himself.

"What?! No that's crazy!" said Nate.

"Come on this is your only chance," said Jibanyan. Nate begrudgingly ran past the giant blue Oni who was slowed by Jibanyan's inspiritment and made it to the door with Whisper. Nate took one look as Jibanyan was fighting Ogralus. Jibanyan dodged and dodged for a few seconds before unleashing his best move ut when that failed Ogralus smashed him into a wisp and then stormed towards Nate and Whisper.

"I am going to pummel you, you little sneak," said Ogralus in his charge that was slowed by the lingering effects of Jibanyan's inspirit. Nate and Whisper then went through the yellow door and escaped Terror Time once again.

Nate was right outside his house with Whisper and a tired Jibanyan.

"Thanks, Jibanyan you really saved me," said Nate.

"Yes you were very brave." said Jibanyan," said Whisper.

"Ah thanks, I am a bit tired though now." said Jibanyan, "I am glad I was able to distract him long enough."

"I can't believe you did that for me Jibanyan," said Nate.

"We're friends besides I knew I was doomed anyway in there one way or another I was going to get crushed but if I was going to get crushed I didn't just want to sit there and let you guys be crushed too," said Jibanyan.

"Why thank you Jibanyan that means quite a lot," said Whisper.

"Yeah you're amazing," said Nate, "But hey guys…" Nate was now in a more serious tone, "I'm not really that bad, am I? I mean Ogralus said I was one of the worst he had ever seen. I know I haven't been all good but I haven't been that bad right?" Jibanyan and Whisper looked at Nate.

Whisper said, "No, not at all the oni are very harsh sure you aren't the perfect best kid but you are very good you have helped many people, and yo-kai besides most of the time you only break major rules if you need to for your friends."

Jibanyan said, "Yeah Nyate you're a great guy, Ogralus is just mad you escaped him twice nyow. I couldn't ask for a better human friend other than you know."

"Thanks, guys now come on let's go eat some choco bars," said Nate.

"Yay!" said Jibanyan.

"You did earn it this time Jibanyan and Nate you deserve a break after that madness," said Whisper. Nate was glad everything worked out but there were still a lot of thoughts going through his mind one being who was that shadow that saved me that one time and was that just a dream or was a yo-kai involved, he thought back to the day he almost gave up the yo-kai watch when everything was looking down something saved him but he didn't know what.

AN: So there we have it, If you are wondering what dream Nate is referring to that would be in chapter 15 which is a while back and yes their is plot behind that if their wasn't I wouldn't have brought it up again in this chapter. This chapter was meant to answer a few questions maybe not the ones you have been asking but just some questions about yo-kai watch in general plus to have Nate escape the clutches of Ogralus again. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this chapter. If so, please review.
