Yokai World-2121

At night, all is quiet. In a large lab, where all the lights are out, a window opens and a figure drops into the room. The figure is cat-like, with a cape and hood.

Unknown Yokai: Where is it?

He stumbled around the lab, trying to find something specific. Then he found a glass display case with a watch inside.

Unknown Yokai: There it is!

The watch was white and gold, and has an odd symbol. There was a coin slot in the side and 2 buttons.

The scene cuts to outside. Glass is heard smashing and alarms go off.

Inside the lab, the lights turn on as several yokai enter in labcoats.

Yokai 1: What happened?

Yokai 2: Look, the yokai watch is missing!

Everyone gasped and looked around for the thief. They didn't notice him slip away.

The next morning, Lord Enma looked out over his world from his balcony on the palace. His right hand man, Zazel, approached him from behind.

Zazel: My lord, I have bad news.

Enma: What bad news?

Zazel: It concerns the latest yokai watch model.

Enma: What about it?

Zazel: I'm afraid someone stole it.

Enma turned and gasped.

Enma: What? Who stole it?

Zazel: It's unclear. Should we send someone to search for it.

Lord Enma thought for a moment then grinned and looked over the world once more.

Enma: Send one of the best bounty hunters. I'm intrigued to see what this device is capable of.

Zazel: Yes sir.

Springdale-2021

In the town of Springdale, a now computerized and futuristic city, a house is seen. The camera zooms into the balcony, then into the room the balcony belongs to. Inside, a 14 year old boy is cowering from his mother, scared. Not because she's abusive, but because she's really scary when she wants to be.

Woman: I want this room tidy, Benjamin Adams! Or there will be consequences!

Ben nodded nervously. His mother left the room, muttering something about being stressed out all the time.

Ben: Well this sucks. I was hoping to spend the weekend playing my video games.

As he started to tidy, he noticed something sitting on his desk.

Ben: That wasn't there before...

It was a watch. A white and gold one with a coin slot in the side. Next to it was an odd-looking coin.

Ben: What's this?

He picked it up. It seemed to be the right size for his wrist. He knew it wasn't a present from his parents. They didn't give gifts without telling someone.

Ben: I don't know why, but something inside me is urging me to put it on.

He followed his instinct and put on the watch. Then he looked at it.

Ben: Actually, it looks kinda cool.

Then he decided to mess around with it.

Ben: I wonder what this button does.

He pressed it and a light came from it, startling him. The light shone on his balcony, where a shadow appeared and started to visualise.

Ben: W-what the-?

Then, before his very eyes a cat appeared before him. It was a red cat, but it wasn't a normal one. It was standing on its hind legs, had 2 tails, a yellow belt thing and a chunk missing from his ear.

Ben: Agh! A nekomata!

Ben had learnt about yokai at school, so he could recognise these creatures instantly.

Nekomata: Well that's rude. You're just like your great grandpa.

Ben was confused at the mention of his great grandfather, the man known as Nathan Adams who died before he was born.

Ben: Who are you? And how do you know my great grandpa Nate?

Nekomata: Oh hi, my name's Jibanyan!

The cat grinned and took a sort of bow.

Jibanyan-CharmingBen: Jibanyan?

Jibanyan: That's right! I used to help your great grandpa Nate!

Ben: Wait, you did?

Jibanyan: That's right, then I helped your grandma Natsume!

Ben: This is getting weirder...next you'll be telling me you were best friends with my dad.

Jibanyan: Anyway, I guess you're wondering what that watch is.

Ben: Damn right I am!

Jibanyan: Well, let me tell you. This is the Yokai Watch X! The latest yokai watch model!

Ben: Yokai watch?

Jibanyan: A yokai watch is a type of watch that helps you communicate with yokai. This specific model also lets you summon yokai, turn your yokai friends into shadowside forms and even lets you turn into a "Yokai Hero" when a yokai possesses you!

Ben: That...sounds awesome!

Jibanyan: Really? You're not freaked out?

Ben: Not at all! I've always loved yokai!

Jibanyan: It's good to know we have fans.

Ben: But what's this?

He picked up the coin and when he took a closer look, he realised a picture of Jibanyan was on it.

Jibanyan: That's my yokai coin.

Ben: Yokai coin?

Jibanyan: It's like a modernized yokai medal!

Ben: Yokai medal?

Jibanyan: I'll explain later. It acts as a symbol of our friendship. Not only that, but it also lets you summon me and turn me into shadowside form!

Ben: Sweet! So...I guess I should keep a hold of this.

Jibanyan: Good idea. Now you can summon me whenever you need help!

Ben: But...I'm afraid my parents won't let me keep pets.

Jibanyan: You really are like Nate!

Ben: I am?

Jibanyan: It's fine. Your parents can't see, hear or feel me. Only you.

Ben: So I have a superpower now?

Jibanyan: Sorta...

Ben: By the way, Jibanyan. Where'd you get this?

Jibanyan: I...er...bought it...

Jibanyan was sweating nervously, but Ben didn't notice and was checking out the awesome-looking watch.

Ben: I think things are gonna awesome from now on!

Then he heard footsteps. He instantly realised he had barely tidied yet and hurried around the room, not wanting to get into more trouble.

Ben: Um...can you help me tidy quick?

Jibanyan: Sure, why not? It's the least I could do for you.

Then, to Ben's surprise, Jibanyan raced around the room and put everything away faster than he ever could.

Ben: Wow...

Then the door swung open and there was his mother.

Mrs Adams: Wow, you cleaned it in record time...

Ben: Y-yeah. I did.

Ben mouthed a "thank you" to Jibanyan, who grinned and held a thumbs up back.

Enma sat in his throne, Zazel by his side.

Enma: So, you're the self-proclaimed fastest bounty hunter in the yokai world?

Kneeling before him was a child-sized, humanoid, ninja yokai with a mask covering most of his face, except his red eyes. He had some nunchucks in his belt.

Yokai: My friends call me Funchuck. It's because I enjoy the pleasure of slaying my victims.

Enma grinned, intrigued.

Enma: This will be interesting.

A/N: And that's chapter 1 over with. What do you think so far? I'm taking requests for your own yokai. I want you to give me their name, abilities, soultimate, tribe, description, shadowside form and any other info you think is important. That's all for now.
