Yo-kai Watch: A Rewrite (Book 1 of the Rewrite Series)

Chapter 5: Timer's and More

As daylight shined on the two children sleeping in Katie's room, they were awoken by Whisper and Jibanyan poking them.

"Wakey, wakey! It's a new day and there's so much to do!"

After many persistent pokes, the kids finally got up and stretched.

"I'm still worried about yesterday. If that Yo-kai hadn't showed up, we would've been..."

They trailed off, not really wanting to think about the terrible alternative ending to their battle.

"Oh, don't worry, you two. It's actually about time that I told you about getting your Watches upgraded!"

"Hmm?"

"Yes, if your Watches are upgraded, you'll be able to find and battle stronger Yo-kai!"

"And where would we go to get them upgraded?"

"Timer's and More, of course!"

Whisper than hummed a little tune and sang,

"If there's a watch you just adore, take it down to Timer's and More!"

"Wait, if you were in the capsule for so long, how do you know about Timer's and More and the jingle?"

Whisper winked and said,

"Trade secret, Nate. I'll meet you downstairs. Come along, Jibanyan."

The cat Yo-kai followed Whisper out and as Nate pulled out the outfit he was going to wear for the day, Katie said,

"Nate? Are you worried about what happened yesterday?"

"A little. I mean, it started with Tattletale just inspiriting some random people, myself included and suddenly we're fighting for the fate of the town and our lives!"

"You know, that's how all of this began."

"What?"

"We were just hunting for bugs for our projects that day and suddenly we're hunting Yo-kai!"

"I'm sorry...what?"

Katie sighed.

"Well, our journey began because of a simple thing and now it's gotten a bit more complicated. Of course, we weren't really fighting for our lives on that day, but you get my point now. Right?"

Nate nodded and said,

"Listen, about when Tattletale inspirited me, how did you really feel?"

Katie blushed and didn't know what to say.

"Umm...we better get downstairs for breakfast and plan out the rest of the day."

"Oh, right! Sorry about that!"

"I promise, when there's a good time, we can discuss it."

After breakfast, taking Nate's stuff back to his house, and a quick stop at Everymart because their parents had eaten the food they had bought yesterday, they started off towards Timer's and More.

"So, why is it this specific shop?"

"It's a watch shop, Nate!"

Nate sweatdropped.

"I know that. I meant, why is it this specific shop in Blossom Heights and not a watch shop in...say...Tokyo?"

"Reasons that shall be explained in due time. Besides, would you be willing to travel to Tokyo for a Watch upgrade?"

"Well, is there a Yo-kai that can make that happen?"

"Yes, actually! Mirapos are used to travel to a lot of places, as long as there's a Mirapo there, of course! The problem is...I haven't seen any Mirapos since I was released. Of course, I haven't been to a lot of places yet, so they might be somewhere I haven't been yet."
