(In the small town called “Uptown Springdale”…)

Natsuki: (after crashing into the ground) “Ow…”

???: “Hey…are you alright?”

Natsuki: “Ugh…I don’t think ‘alright’ is going to describe how someone like me just fell from the sky!” (noticing a white ghost-like wisp with eyes connected by a curved black mark) “And who’s the white ghost behind you?”

???: “Wait…you can see Whisper without the help of a Yo-Kai Watch? But that shouldn’t be possible! I’ve got a Yo-Kai Watch, so I can see him just fine!”

Natsuki: (confused) “Yo-Kai Watch? What are you talking about?”

???: “Oh…um…sorry. I assumed you knew about the existence of Yo-Kai. I’m Nate, by the way. Nice to meet you.”

Natsuki: “Nice to meet you too, Nate. I’m Natsuki. So, Yo-Kai… are they some kind of supernatural beings or something?”

Nate: “Exactly! Yo-Kai are mischievous spirits that are invisible to most humans. They can cause all sorts of trouble or sometimes even help people. The Yo-Kai Watch allows us to see and communicate with them.”

Natsuki: “That sounds really interesting! I’ve never heard of Yo-Kai before, but if I can see them without the watch, does that mean I have some kind of special ability?”

Nate: “It’s possible! There have been rare cases where people can naturally interact with Yo-Kai without the watch. Maybe you have a unique connection with them?”

Whisper: (the white ghost-like wisp) “Oh-ho! This is quite intriguing! We could use someone like you in our Yo-Kai adventures, Natsuki!”

Natsuki: “Adventures, huh? Well, I never expected to get caught up in something like this, but it does sound exciting. Count me in!”

Nate: “Great! With your ability to see Yo-Kai and my Yo-Kai Watch, we make a perfect team! But for now, come with me to my house. I’ve got another Yo-Kai friend who’d love to meet you!”

Natsuki: “Sure, I’d love to meet your Yo-Kai friend! Lead the way, Nate.”

Nate: “Follow me, Natsuki. My house isn’t too far from here.”

(They both walk through the cozy streets of Uptown Springdale. The houses are painted with vibrant colors, and the sound of laughter and chatter fills the air. As they reach Nate’s house, he opens the door and invites Natsuki inside.)

Natsuki: “Wow, your house is really cool, Nate! It feels so inviting.”

Nate: “Thanks, Natsuki. I’m glad you like it. Now, let me introduce you to my Yo-Kai friend. His name is Jibanyan.”

(Inside the house, they find Jibanyan, a cat-like Yo-Kai with fiery red fur and a determined expression on his face.)

Jibanyan: “Oh, hey there, Nate. Who’s the new face?”

Nate: “Jibanyan, this is Natsuki. She has a special ability to see and interact with Yo-Kai without the Yo-Kai Watch.”

Natsuki: “Nice to meet you, Jibanyan! I never imagined I would meet a Yo-Kai in person, let alone become friends with them.”

Jibanyan: “Likewise, Natsuki. It’s not every day we come across humans who can see us without a Yo-Kai Watch. We could definitely use someone like you on our team.”

Natsuki: “I’m honored to be part of this team. So, what kind of adventures do Yo-Kai usually go on?”

Nate: “Yo-Kai are involved in all sorts of situations, from resolving conflicts between humans and Yo-Kai to helping people with their daily problems. We can even battle other Yo-Kai. It’s a whole new world to explore!”

Whisper: “And with your abilities, Natsuki, we can uncover even more mysteries and help others in need.”

Natsuki: “That sounds amazing! I’m ready to dive into this Yo-Kai world and experience all the adventures it has to offer.”

(Natsuki notices a book on the floor - it was the Yo-Kai Medalium.)

Natsuki: “Hey, what’s this book?”

Nate: “Oh, that’s the Yo-Kai Medalium! It’s where we store the Yo-Kai Medals we collect. Each Yo-Kai has its own medal, and when you place it in the Medalium, you can summon that Yo-Kai whenever you need their help.”

(Natsuki picks up the Medalium and flips through the pages, observing the colorful medals and reading the descriptions of various Yo-Kai.)

Natsuki: “This is incredible! So, if I find a Yo-Kai and obtain its medal, I can call upon them whenever I want?”

Nate: “Exactly! It’s like having a team of supernatural allies at your disposal. We can work together to solve mysteries, help people, and have exciting adventures.”

(Natsuki’s eyes light up with excitement as she imagines all the possibilities.)

Natsuki: “I can’t wait to start collecting Yo-Kai Medals and exploring this Yo-Kai world with you guys!”

Whisper: “Excellent! Our team is now complete, and with your special ability, Natsuki, we’re bound to uncover even more hidden Yo-Kai and unravel mysteries no one else can.”

Jibanyan: “Yeah! Let’s go on epic quests, battle tough Yo-Kai, and show the world that humans and Yo-Kai can be the best of friends!”

Nate: “Hold on…I didn’t tell Natsuki about the 8 Yo-Kai tribes.”

Natsuki: “Oh, tribes? What are those?”

Nate: “The Yo-Kai world is divided into eight tribes, each with different types of Yo-Kai. The tribes are Brave, Mysterious, Tough, Charming, Heartful, Shady, Eerie, and Slippery. Each tribe has its own strengths and weaknesses, and knowing about them can help us strategize during battles or interactions with Yo-Kai.”

Natsuki: “That’s really interesting! So, are there specific Yo-Kai that belong to each tribe?”

Nate: “Yes, exactly! Each Yo-Kai belongs to one specific tribe, and understanding their tribe can give us insight into their abilities and personalities. It’s like a whole other layer to the Yo-Kai world.”

Whisper: “Indeed! The tribes also have their own legends and lore, which we might uncover during our adventures.”

Jibanyan: “And mastering the knowledge of the tribes can give us an edge in battles and understanding the Yo-Kai we encounter.”

Natsuki: “I can’t wait to learn more about these tribes and the Yo-Kai that belong to them. It’s like a whole new dimension to explore!”

Nate: “We’ll make sure to teach you all about them, Natsuki. Our Yo-Kai adventures are just beginning, and together, we can become the best Yo-Kai team Uptown Springdale has ever seen!”

(The team shares a moment of excitement and anticipation for the adventures that await them in the Yo-Kai world. But as the group is walking around, Natsuki notices a new Yo-Kai medal. The medal’s back sports a sickle shape accompanied with a circle on a blackish purple background. It must belong to a different tribe entirely.)
