The group soon arrived at their destination.
"Wow, look at this place!", Komajiro exclaimed.
They all looked around to see the beach-like city in all its glory.
They saw a big tower in the middle of it all.
"Maybe we can find some yo-kai here! I have heard about the gym leader here beginning to act unusual, though, so maybe we can help with that in the meantime!", he proposed.
When they agreed, he began to lead them towards the tower, only to be interrupted by something.
"That's not a yo-kai, scan it on the pokedex!", Komajiro ordered.
Katie pulled out hers and scanned it.
Lucario, the aura pokemon, and the evolved form of Riolu.
They have to ability to read aura and predict the next moves of their opponents and sense the emotions of others.
"A pokemon that can read aura...", Katie noted.
"I wonder what it wants?", Bear wondered.
Lucario walked up to them and did something.
"Come with me."
"Wait, how are you talking?", Eddie asked.
"Telepathy, it's a nice ability, or however you want to consider it.", he replied.
They were soon walking to what looked like one of those pokemon centers they kept hearing about.
They walked inside, and sat at a nearby table.
"So what do you need our help for?", Katie asked.
"It's about my partner. Korrina isn't one to stand still, and since a few days ago, she's suddenly into yoga! I used my aura ability to check the problem, and from it, I saw something possessing her. That's when I began to hear about these 'yo-kai'. You have two of them with you right now."
Whisper and Komajiro looked at each other.
"We don't really possess anybody.", Whisper told him.
"I know, that's why I need your help. You can knock some sense into the yo-kai that's possessing Korrina. I can't even touch it!"
They looked at each other for a moment.
"All right, we'll help. Where is she?", Katie asked.
Lucario pointed out the window towards the big tower.
"She's in there."
They left the pokemon center and crossed the path that opened up for them and made it to the entrance.
They were stunned by how big it was in the inside.
The group soon noticed a girl wearing a ponytail standing in place.
"Is that her?", Eddie asked.
Lucario nodded.
Katie used the watch and looked around the area.
They then discovered a yo-kai standing next to Korrina.
She was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, long stilts, and long hair. To top it off, she also wears a hairband on her forehead with an oval attached to it.
"Ok, now tree pose!", she commanded.
"What is that?", Bear asked.
"Lets see... that's the yo-kai Peacin' Mind, of the brave tribe! Why the brave tribe, though, I don't know, whis.", Whisper explained.
"The brave tribe, you say. This gives me the chance to test out my new persona!", Komajiro announced.
They were all confused by this, until he proceeded to untie his bag, took out a small staff with an orb on top, and turned the bag into a cape.
"You guys can now call me Courajiro!", he announced.
Whisper searched him up.
"Oh, like he said, he's Courajiro, but instead of the charming tribe, he's of the brave tribe!"
"That's right! I wanted to try this look on me for a while now, without Professor Maple finding out. This even match-up can give me a chance to do so! And the only way I think we can get rid of her is by fighting her anyway. Booting out yo-kai here is a bit different than in your world.", Courajiro explained.
Peacin' Mind then walked towards them.
"He's right, we settle this sort of stuff the way these pokemon usually would, battle style!"
The battle started as she proceeded to get in the tree pose herself.
"Tree Pose!"
Leaves and twigs were launched at him, but he dodged and leaped high in the air.
"Alright, check this out! Charge beam!"
Pointing his staff at her, Courajiro launched a concentrated yellow beam of electricity.
Barely dodging the attack, she looked at him.
"How the heck did you even learn that? I thought only pokemon can learn those moves!"
Launching another charge beam, he responded, "I had friends teach me."
They kept on dodging and dodging.
"Cat Pose!", Peacin' Mind announced as her speed increased.
"Zapper Ball", Courajiro shouted as he launched a ball of electricity.
The dodging kept on going, until...
"Alright, Mienfoo, use swift!"
Shimmering stars were launched at her, but they phased through.
"See, what did I tell you? Pokemon attacks won't work on her!", Lucario stated.
"Who did that?!", Peacin' Mind demanded.
"We did."
Korrina and Mienfoo walked towards them.
"I got pretty tired of you trying to possess me, and yes I can see you. What did you expect me to do?"
Peacin' Mind soon snickered.
"Silly humans, you forgot all the basic facts about possessing something, haven't you?"
Before they had time to respond, she jumped onto Mienfoo.
They stepped back as it began to shine an eerie purple aura around itself, looking at them darkly.
"This is a bit of a problem, whis.", Whisper stated.
"How can I counter that... that's it! Eddie, how would you like to participate in your first pokemon battle?", Courajiro asked.
"M-me?! Can Ralts even stand up to that thing?"
He nodded, and Eddie lets him out of his pokeball.
"Ra?"
When he looked at what he was up against, he turned to face Eddie.
"Okay, what moves do you know... I think this can work. Your target is Mienfoo, hit it with psychic!", he ordered.
Ralts spead towards it, as its eyes began to shine blue.
Mienfoo shined blue all over and was lifted from the ground.
"I'll knock her out of you! Thunder punch!"
"Now, use dazzling gleam!"
Courajiro landed his attack and got out of the way in time as Ralts shined pink and hits it with a powerful light.
Peacin' Mind was knocked out of him, and Mienfoo fell unconscious.
"That... was the shortest pokemon battle I've ever seen.", Korrina moaned.
Peacin' Mind then got up.
"Ugh, I couldn't utilize its body properly. Alright, you win.", she told them as she hands Katie a medal.
"I'll come when you call me.", and she disappeared.
"Wow.", Korrina said.
"Hey."
Lucario walked towards them.
"Thanks for helping her."
Korrina approached them.
"So, where are you heading off to now?"
They explained their situation, and she nodded with understanding.
"You know, I know a friend who lives in Lumiouse City, and he holds the same title as me. Maybe he can help you!"
Courajiro's and Ralts' faces lit up.
"I know where that is! Lets go!", he declared.
They were off, with Korrina, a recovered Mienfoo, and Lucario waving goodbye.
"Tell him I said hi!", she shouted.
They were walking in a forest, where they passed a certain bush.
"Is it safe to come out?", a white and blue lion cub yo-kai asked his buddy.
"No clue.", a sandman-like yo-kai responded, while peeking out of the bush.
While this group is heading towards Lumiouse City, the other group is about to get into a fight of their own.
"USApyon, maybe we should step in-"
He soon blocked Inaho from stepping forward.
"No, I think these three can handle him on their own, dani."
Dedenne and Pixiefu stood their ground as Bonnie stepped forward.
"Yes, I'm talking to you. In fact, I challenge you. I challenge you to a battle!", she shouted at him.
"Yes, I can feel it now. This battle will be scrapbook worthy!", Shutterbuzz announced as he made the first move.
