"Okay...so let me rewind so I get everything right. So we're in the world all those Yo-kai guys come from but 30 years?" Luna asked.
"Looks like it. Time does more differently on other worlds." Theo said.
"And all the Yo-kai Watches here are gone except for this one call the Elder?" Luna asked.
"Right again." Sunset said.
"And now we gotta go and find it with this white ghost thing called Whisper in order to find its one true owner." Luna said.
"That pretty much sums it up." Theo said.
"If I wasn't with a walking purple frog and having heard some dudes voice in my head, I'd think all this was some crazy dream." Luna said.
"You get used to that." Sunset said.
"But how do we even find the guy? I mean, where did you first meet him?" Theo asked.
"Hmm. Whisper. Where did...Ah ha! The capsule game!" Sunset said.
"Capsule...Oh you mean like one of those cranking games where a small capsule falls out for a quarter?" Luna asked.
"Yeah...there's no doubt. He'll be there!" Sunset said as they started running.
It didn't take long for the small group to see a small capsule prize game at the dead end of the road. "Whoa. There really is one here." Theo said.
"Uh...do any of you guys know where I am?" a voice asked as they saw a young girl with long brown hair and a school uniform stand behind them.
"A student?" Sunset wondered before they saw a figure materialize behind them. A pale white ghost like figure in a black suit with short purple hair and beady yellow eyes.
"Sigh. This is the 444th person to come down here. Well, may as well." he said before looking at the student.
"This guy...is really creepy." she thought before the figure went and started breathing into a small breathing apparatus. "Vertigo? He was just short on breath?"
"Wait...Whisper? Is...Is that you?" Sunset asked.
"Who said…" he said before seeing her. "I cannot believe it. Sunset Shimmer. My...it really has been a long time." he said. "We can catch up later. For now, I have business to attend to." he said taking out a strange watch and putting it on the girls wrist. "Now, aptitude test. Repeat after me. "Come on out my friend! Calling...Jibanyan!" Whisper said.
"Huh?" the girl said.
"No. Its...Come on out, my friend! Calling...Jibanyan!" Whisper repeated.
"Come on out my friend! Calling, Kochijan!" she said.
"Hmm. You had the right energy but you messed up the name. But wait, the watch hasn't rejected you yet. This is normally the part where it goes flying off the wrist. Could it be...I've found the one?!" Whisper said.
"Okay...this is weird." she said before Whisper pushed her to the machine.
"Final test." Whisper said.
"Already?" they all said.
"Simply turn the capsule machine dial." Whisper said.
"Okay." she said as she turned the crank as a capsule popped out. She then twisted it open as out came a large creature with three heads.
"Crud! Slimamander!" Sunset said as they started running.
"You know that thing?" Theo shouted.
"He was sealed underneath the elementary school. I guess during the years, they moved him to a capsule machine!" Sunset said.
"If you beat that using the Yo-kai Watch, you pass." Whisper said.
"How do I beat him?" the girl asked.
"Well, there are these things called arks and...oh." Whisper said noticing they had turned the other way. "They're gone."
"Someone get us outta town!" Luna said as they ran from Slimamander.
Slimamander then nipped at the girl and lifted her up.
"Whoa! Okay, frog dude. Do something." Luna said to Croagunk.
Croagunk then jumped as it did a Brick Break on one head while something hit the other as the girl was released.
"When can we fight back?" Theo asked.
"Oi!" a voice said as a boy in white robes ran beside them. "You found the Yo-kai Watch. Good. This saves on time. Here." he said holding a blue key thing. "That is an Ark."
"An ark?" Sunset asked.
"Look...enter it in the watch and turn it." the boy said as the girl did so.
"Light!" the watch said as the top opened.
"Now, say this. Come on out my friend! Calling, Hungramps!" he said.
"Come on out my friend! Calling, Smoothie!" the girl said.
"Right energy, wrong name!" the boy said.
"Okay. Come on out, my friend! Calling Hungramps!" she said putting the ark on the top. As soon as this was done, her shadow grew longer as a figure rose from it. Appearing was an elderly Yo-kai.
"Whoa...Hungramps has...changed." Sunset said.
"That thing still works." an elderly woman said.
Hungramps then began to change as his mouth got bigger and his head longer and more bendy. "Hungramps!" he shouted as the buildings and Slimamander dried out before Slimamander's ark was left on the ground.
"What the...did...did Yo-kai ever do that before?" Theo asked.
"Well what about that?" Luna asked as the three of them looked up at a strange looking moon above.
"How the heck did we not notice that? Guess it relates to these Onimaru." Sunset said.
The group soon learned the boy was Akinori Arihoshi, a young boy from a temple and a member of a family of sorcerers who used the energies of the Yo-kai to divinate and use magic. The girl was Natsume Adams, the daughter of the past Yo-kai Watch user Nate Adams. However she did not want anything to do with any of this. That was however…
"Help!" she shouted as she was being cornered by two oni possessed people that were formerly her mother and younger brother.
"Here!" Sunset said tossing the watch to her along with Slimamander's ark. "Summon him. He's called Slimamander!"
"Okay…" she said turning the ark.
"Shadow!" The watch said.
"Come on out, my friend! Calling, Slimamander." she said putting the ark on top. Slimamander then rose from her shadow as he landed before her before it started to shift and shrink before taking on a humanoid appearance as a being with one eye.
"What the? Is this really Slimamander?" Theo asked.
"Indeed! I am Slimamander! But in this form, you may call me, Micchy!" he said posing.
"Micchy?" Akinori said.
"Micchy! Please, save my brother and mother!" Natsume said.
"Of course." Micchy said as he posed about. "Micchy Beam!" he said firing a beam at them, which in turn turned them to stone.
"Well...its not like they'll cause trouble now." Sunset said.
"So do all Yo-kai change forms like that?" Akinori asked.
"There are some cases. For me, when I'm a beast Yo-kai, I'm desiring to become a very active humanoid." Micchy said as he laughed as the others sweatdropped. "Micchy...away!" he said leaping away.
"Geez. This guy is more of a hero maniac than Hope and Heart combined." Sunset said. "Still...these Onimaru...they're serious trouble. We'll need more help than these two. I wonder...is he still around?"
