Hello there everyone! How are you all? Halloween is getting close, but it's really not my favorite holiday. I absolutely HATE being scared, especially jump-scared. *shivers*

On to reviews!

SuperSonicBros123: Don't you worry about a thing. Ash will just be good friends with Katie, nothing more. The other girls in his class wouldn't like it anyway… Heh. It's also an incentive for Nate to try harder to get Katie (Though sometimes, based off of some the Kyubi episodes, she's almost as dense as Ash!). Yeah, I was at school when I thought of Gargoros and Terror Time. In the games, I hated whenever he'd appear. I thought, this could be a good way to bring the plot forward. Oh, and Ash going to school?

See first chapter for a snickering Pikachu.

Nai Light: Yeah, Nate will be shocked (and not because of Pikachu)! I mean, someone else knowing about something only you were able to see before? Ash does have some explaining to do…

RSBCS: Yeah, the first chap was a little rough. But I guess I made amends in the last one huh? Nate's personality has stuck with me, despite how "average" it is. I'm not completely sure Katie will get one, but I guess you'll just have to wait and see! And yes, Gargoros is that giant Yokai Nate runs from in the episode openings. They have the entire first season on Netflix, so go ahead and watch it. It will hopefully explain any other questions you may have.

Ash was able to communicate with the Pokegear because Ho-Oh allowed it. Same reason why Ash was surprised to find school supplies in his bag. And Ho-Oh had also somehow enrolled him into the school.

Thank you, you three who reviewed last chap! You also favorited, so thanks!

Anyone here a huge fan of Pokémon? (All hands raise. I sweatdrop) Well, I should've expected that… Well, I finally got the demo for Sun and Moon, and it is amazing! Unfortunately, because of my neglected charger at my friend's, my 3DS died while I was playing it. So, I was playing instead of writing. Now I'm back. Don't worry, I won't say anything and spoil you guys. My bro's the same way.

On to the story! XD

Sorry if it feels rushed at all.

I don't own Pokémon or Yo-Kai Watch.

Nate's POV

To say Nate was shocked was an understatement. This guy knew about Yokai?! There was only one thing left to do to prove it.

He asked Ash, "Yokai? You know what they are? If you can really see them, where are the ones in this room?"

He saw Ash gain a strange gleam in his eye as he looked right towards the bed… and at Whisper and Jibanyan. Ash then pointed at them and said, "Well, the ghost is playing with some sort of device and the cat is eating chocolate."

Nate looked towards the bed and saw his Yokai friends doing the same thing Ash described, except now they were staring up at him in disbelief. Nate looked between the two, seeing that Ash now had a smirk on his face. Nate's brain decided that this was all too much to take in…

And Nate fell, fainting from pure disbelief.

Nate woke up, feeling groggy. "What… happened…?

He opened his eyes to see he was on his bed with Ash, Whisper, Jibanyan, and who he thought was that Wondernyan Ash had mentioned earlier…

He then sat up straight, remembering what had happened and what Ash had proven. "A-Ash?"

Ash looked at him quizzically. "Um, yeah Nate?"

Nate asked him, "Y-you can see Yokai? H-how?"

Ash looked sheepish and rubbed the back of his head. "Well, it's quite a long story, and anyway, your mom just called for dinner."

Nate's eyes opened up all the way, suddenly completely awake. He would never miss his mom's cooking! "Well, let's eat then! But after that, you're giving me answers, okay?"

Ash threw his hands up in defeat. "Alright, but let's go. I'm hungry."

They left the Yokai to do whatever they wanted in Nate's room, while Ash discreetly asked Wondernyan to do something, but Nate was unable to hear. The adventurous cat Yokai nodded to Ash and went off somewhere...

The two boys proceeded to walk down the stairs, the smell of delicious food tempting their stomachs to rumble- and succeeding. When they were down, Nate noticed that his dad had just come home. "Hey dad!"

Mr. Adams looked at his son with a smile on his face. "Hey Nate, how's it going?" He then saw Ash. "And who's your friend?"

Mrs. Adams answered for him. "He'll be staying with us for a while. He's got nowhere to go, so until his mom can get here and get a place, I decided to let him stay. After all, he's the same age as Nate."

Nate's dad nodded, a tad confused, but mostly caught up. Mr. Adams had just put his coat up when Ash walked up to him. "Hello, I'm Ash Ketchum. It's nice to meet you."

Nate was surprised. Ash wasn't being as energetic as before. If anything, he seemed… shy.

Mr. Adams looked at him for a second before smiling. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Ash. Now, can we eat dinner now? I'm pretty hungry."

Everyone laughed and sat down at the table to eat. Mrs. Adams had cooked it herself, and it tasted wonderful. Soon, Nate's while family was joking around with each other, Ash was watching with a sad expression…

Mrs. Adams noticed this however, and asked him, "Ash dear, what's wrong? Are you feeling alright?"

Ash just answered, "W-well, I never had anything like this at home… It was always just me and my mom, you know?" He sighed, looking depressed.

Nate's mom was saddened but had an idea. "Ash? Why don't you be a part of our family?"

Ash looked up. "What do you mean?"

Mr. Adams seemed to catch on. "Well, how about we be your aunt and uncle? That way, you can be in our family while still having your mom. We can be like the family you never had. Which is quite true."

Ash grinned widely. "Y-you mean it?!"

Nate's mom nodded. Ash replied, "Thanks! But, erm… since you're pretty much my aunt and uncle now, what should I call you?"

Mrs. Adams smiled and replied, "Well, how about Aunt Lily and Uncle Aaron?"

Ash looked surprised and looked towards Mr. Adams. "Your name's Aaron?"

He looked surprised to be asked such a question. "Yes, why?"

Ash just smiled. "Well, where I come from, there was a hero named Sir Aaron, who sacrificed himself to stop a war…I met a good friend of his actually."

Mr. Adams laughed. "Well, isn't that a weird coincidence? 'I am Sir Aaron!'" he said in a pretend tone. Everyone laughed, including Ash, whose mood was lifted by being accepted by another family, having more people that love him…

Nate was silent during the exchange, and said after, "So, does that mean we're cousins now or something?"

Ash looked at him curiously. "Yeah, I guess so."

They both just sat there, staring at each other, thinking about how awkward this got, and wondering how to break the silence in between them.

Nate's mom decided to break it. "Well, it's getting late. You two should go to bed. Besides, Nate, don't you have your friends coming tomorrow?"

Nate's eyes widened, remembering their plans. "Oh yeah! They're sleeping over too right? They'll be glad to meet you Ash! They said they had some questions for you or something…"

He saw Ash gulp across the table, probably nervous about the barrage that'll come the next day.

After dinner was finished, Ash offered to help wash the dishes. Mrs. Adams accepted the help with great vigor, glad that someone would be kind enough to want to help. Nate was surprised. What kind of kid helped wash dishes? What, was there a Yokai around or something? He discreetly scanned the area to find that there were no Yokai.

Nate soon went up to his room and sat on his bed. He eventually realized something. He hadn't seen any troubling Yokai all day. He voiced his concerns to Whisper, who grew suspicious. "You are right, Nate. It seems that the Yokai behavior has decreased for the past week or so. We've had no trouble today except for Gargoros, and that's only because you left. And we saw Wondernyan as well. Where is he anyway? I don't know, but it seems like our friend Ash may have some answers." As he was talking, he was swiping across his Yokai Pad, trying to find information on the matter.

Nate sweatdropped. "Um, Whisper? You're using your Yokai Pad again."

He heard Ash, who had just come into the room. "What's wrong with that?"

Whisper said. "I am not using the Yokai Pad! I am only checking to see if my hunches are correct, but I have no way of knowing because there is no information."

Ash asked, "About what? The Yokai lessening their normal and mischievous ways due to some unknown stuff? Yeah, I know that. Just not really why…"

Nate and Whisper just stared at him with their jaws dropping to the ground. Jibanyan was still asleep, and Wondernyan had come back from whatever he's been doing and was on Ash's shoulder, smirking at their expressions.

Ash continued, snickering at the expressions of his newfound cousin and his Yokai. "Well, I said I'd explain myself, didn't I? Once you stop staring, I'd be glad to share my story."

The two closed their mouths, wanting to get some information. When Ash saw this, he continued, "Okay, so-"

Suddenly Mrs. Adams came into the room with a sleeping bag and a pillow, probably for Ash. After setting it up near Nate's bed, she said, "You two should go to bed. Your friends are coming at noon tomorrow, so you have to tidy up your room, okay?"

Nate and Ash both nodded. Nate's mom turned to Ash next. "You can get dressed in the bathroom downstairs. Do you have any pjs?" Nate hoped he would he only had two pairs, and they were both the same. To his relief, Ash nodded. Mrs. Adams continued. "Alright. Good night you two. And I better not hear any talking, got it?"

Both Ash and Nate nodded again, knowing that her fury can know no bounds. She nodded back looking satisfied. "Good. See you tomorrow." She then left the room with the two kids staring after her.

Ash just said. "It looks like I'll have to tell you tomorrow. I'll be back." He then took his backpack and left the room to change in the restroom while Nate was left dressing in his own room. As he was putting his pjs on, he wondered at his bad luck. He was just about to get an explanation, but his mom came in before Ash could even start. He sighed in sadness and went to lay on his bed, waiting for Ash to come up.

He noticed the door open, and Ash walked in wearing a plain black t-shirt and dark grey sweats with his pack flung over his right shoulder. Wondernyan was on the opposite shoulder, just sitting there.

Ash out his bag on the floor next to his makeshift bed and went under the covers while Wondernyan went in the bag. He turned up to Nate. "Hey, sorry, but we got to go to sleep. My story's too long for one night anyway. Night."

He then turned around and was trying to sleep, forgetting that the light was still on. Nate chuckled and got up to turn off the light. Right before it was turned off, he turned to Ash and smiled gently. "Goodnight Whisper, Jibanyan. And goodnight…"

"Ash..."

So? How was it? I'm sorry if this took a while to update. My computer's Word had been taking a while to load. Even then, my internet isn't working for some reason… I need to go on Google Drive in my computer to copy and paste it to a Word Document. Even then, I have to go on the Fanfiction website. So, sorry.

Please review. Good-bye! : )

Working internet... Check!

YAY! The internet's working! But there is another problem. Word is doing something, I think updating… When one thing finally works, the other doesn't!

Ugh… Life's been hard, alright? Just… bear with me here…

Wish Mii luck! ; )
