First thought it would be a great time to scroll through the medallium, looking through the acquired Yo-Kai Medals. Each Medal symbolises their sign of friendship with the paranormal and supernatural spirits they call Yo-Kai. As he sat in the living room, with Whisper and Jibanyan at his side.
"Heh..." First examined Snotsolong's medal, one with a yellow back and the symbol of a wisp. "Now we've got at least a medal from all eight tribes. And..." He flipped to the Legend Pages, one medal slot on the second page now glowing. "We started progress on the Second page! Which reminds me... What are these pages Whisper?"
"Those? These pages are known as the Legend Pages..."
"Legend?"
"I regret sleeping in on the day you found your friend Leadoni." Whisper sighed at himself, "The medal slots that you see are actually powerful seals that contains a very special Yo-Kai within the emblem. These Yo-Kai are called 'Legendary' Yo-Kai."
"Legendary!?" First's jumped up, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Indeed! These Yo-Kai are extremely rare, unique and most of all, powerful!"
"Wow!"
"And it seems you don't have a lot left for the First Legend Page, you're close to releasing that Yo-Kai!"
"I can't contain myself!" First took deep but fast breaths, "hearing this just wants me to find and befriend all these other Yo-Kai so I release and befriend whoever's inside!!!"
"Woah woah woah!" Jibanyan held him back, "that's not a pure-hearted way or reason on befriending somepony! Yo-Kai can see that in the hearts of Ponies you know... Your offer of friendship needs to be genuine. Otherwise, you'll have no chance of becoming friends with them!"
"Sorry..." First calmed down, "I guess being Power-hungry and desperate isn't really going to help me a lot for other Yo-Kai or even other ponies..."
Upstairs, Scootaloo was in the bedroom writing two letters to send to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle back in Ponyville. Forgetting to send a letter during Flash's report turn-ins, she was desperate to update her current life situation and events till today.
"Alright." Scootaloo proof-read, "I've talked about the places in Springdale town, I've introduced and explained my new friends here in Springdale, and how two of them lack cutie marks... Should I still add some information about Yo-Kai?" Pondering this idea, she decided not to, "perhaps I should keep this presence a secret until required. In that case, it's all done!" She signed both her letters, placed them into envelopes, and stretched out to relax after a job well done. Somepony then knocked on the bedroom door,
"Come in!" Scootaloo called back and in came Flash Sentry. "Ah! Just the stallion I needed to see!" She offered the two envelopes, which Flash skimmed the address.
"I see, you're sending two this time to make up from before." Flash accepted them, "Understood, I'll make sure that it gets to the Lambert Post office safely."
"Thanks Big Bro!"
"But that's not the reason why I knocked. You see, If the calendar downstairs told me something, aren't you and First going out to play with your friends?"
"Oh crud!" Scootaloo remembered, "right at this time! Oh no, I'm going to be so late!"
"Well what are you waiting for?" Flash gestured towards the hallway,
"On the double!" Scootaloo packed a few things and galloped down the stairs,
"First!" Scootaloo called, "we've got to meet Nate, Bear, Eddie, Katie, Alex and Sarah at Triangle Park!"
"Oh no, is it that time already?" First looked at the clock, "welp, time to go!" Packing up the medallium, he, Whisper and Jibanyan joined Scootaloo and galloped out of the front door.
"Stay safe both of you!" Flash waved goodbye, "and make sure to come back before the night rolls in! We're going to be eating out tonight!"
"Phew! Did we make it?" Scootaloo asked as the group screeched to a halt at the entrance of the Triangle Park. As they looked around, they noticed foals and fillies younger than they are, playing on the slide, swings, and sand pit. However, they did not see any of their friends.
"Hmm..." Scootaloo checked her Yo-Kai Watch for the time, "we're five minutes late, don't tell me they left without us..."
"If we were any later, I'm sure they'd swing by our house while some would stay back..." First suggested, "if only we had those fancy magic gadgets that allows long-range communication... Phones, were they?"
"Well, why don't we eat while we wait?" Scootaloo replied, plopping down on a bench, "I've packed myself quite a meal!" She pulled out a Sandwich bought from Everymart. "A quick and nutritious sandwich from the 24-Hour Convenience store!"
"Looks delicious, do you have anything else?"
"I've got some Fruit Drops from Granny Edna's Sweet shop... I can share with you if you're hungry!"
"Thanks for your offer big sis," First smiled, "but I've also packed my lunch too. Transcendent if I must add!" He pulled out a large packet which has the label 'Banter Bakery'. "I've got Banter Bakery's special Curry Bread. Turns out I've bought the last one yesterday."
"Lucky!" Scootaloo exclaimed, "I've heard that those things are a rarity! The baker always made sure that every one of these treats are perfect to it's very core. If a single property of the bread falls short, it's unacceptable to sell!"
"Indeed, and then I've got some Soul Tea to wash things down if the Curry Bread gets too hot for my mouth." First pulled out a can from his bag, "chilled and ready to drink!"
"Oh..." Whisper enviously looked at his masters happily eating down "I should have packed something to eat myself... Do you have anything to eat as well Jibanyan?"
"I am a cat and I like it like that...!" Jibanyan sang as he snacked on two Choco Bars.
"Goodness!" Whisper cried, his stomach rumbling, "why must I be the odd one out!? Ah well, I'd better do something useful... Why don't I check out on Nate, Katie and friends?" And he temporarily floated away towards the residential houses.
After having a nice meal, the siblings still heard nothing or no call from their friends, and the two are starting to get worried.
"It's been about 20 minutes now..." Scootaloo looked at her Yo-Kai Watch "are you sure that Nate and the rest forgot about us?"
"Dunno..." First replied, "why don't we look for them?"
"No need to!!!" Whisper flew back in a hurried state, "they're in trouble! All of them!"
"What?" The siblings stood up, "how?"
"Their parents aren't letting them out. Nate and Katie's parents are saying 'No Way' in the most rudest way possible, Alex, Bear and Sarah's are just yelling at them, accusing them that they're not doing their homework, and Eddie... Well, his parents are being such a pain, blocking the door and refusing to move!"
"Hmm... When we first met Mrs Adams, she was very nice." First remembered, "I wouldn't believe that she would be so rude like that, forbidding Nate go out with his friends..."
"Why don't we check them out?" Scootaloo suggested,
"Okay then... Let's go!" First nodded and they quickly galloped to where they lived... Where the Adams house was right next door, and the Forester House was two streets down around the corner.
"But mum!!!" The siblings could hear Nate's voice from his bedroom, "I've already done all my homework for the week! I've also planned for this three days ago! Everypony else is waiting for me! Please mum?"
"No way!" Mrs Adams replied in the most taunting of expressions.
"What!?" First gasped, on Scootaloo's side, she could hear Katie and her mom arguing too.
"Mom, I've already done all of my work!"
"No way!" Mrs Forester replied, the same taunting expression
"Mother, we've been at this for at least twenty minutes. I've told you I've done everything. Clean the house, exercise, finish all my homework and put an extra hour in studying for the morning! Why won't you let me out?"
"Because I said 'No Way'!" Mrs Forester replied once more,
"That doesn't even make any sense or justification!" Scootaloo blurted out,
"You should also know," Whisper added "that when they said it, they had the most weird mouth put on. Like..." All of a sudden,the sound of two hands clasping together and spreading out an aura, echoed through his mind.
"No way." Whisper replied, giving a goofy and odd looking face and shaking his two palms in a 'no' gesture.
"Wow, that does sound pretty rude." First replied,
"No way," Whisper continued,
"Yeah, tell me about it." Scootaloo added, "with that mouth and hand gesture, it could even offend and annoy the most patient of ponies."
"No way,"
"Whisper, we get it!" First replied with an irritated manner, "you've said that three times!"
"M-My mouth was moving on its own!" Whisper changed,
"Really? Your mouth moved on its own? That's very interesting... But just so we don't rule it out, can you use the Watch Scoots?" This time, the clasping of hands echoed through Scootaloo.
"Noooo way." Scootaloo stood on her hind legs and held out her front hooves in a similar manner to what Whisper was doing before, her eyes and mouth in the most strangest of positions.
"You too sis!?" First jumped, "I'd never hear you say something like that to your own brother!"
"It wasn't me! My lips and tongue just moved on its own!" Scootaloo defended, "I'll get to it ri--" The clasping of hands happened once more, "No Way," Scootaloo repeated,
"I see..." First's eyes widened, "then is it okay if I borrow it for a mo?"
"No way." Scootaloo answered with the same gesture,
"I know you don't mean that," First sighed as quickly swiped the Watch from Scootaloo and started scanning the area. Standing directly in the middle of the Adams and Forester house on the street, a cream-coloured wall with a blue roof and diamond patterned base, with small arms and legs came into view, staring at the siblings. The Yo-Kai's face had diminutive eyes with an orange lining, and an odd shaped mouth, which also has an orange lining, similar to what Whisper and Scootaloo put on when they said No way.
"So this is the Yo-Kai behind this huh?" Scootaloo looked puzzled,
"No way," First replied. Turning to face her brother, she sighed with disappointment and a bit of laughter.
"Thanks Captain Obvious." She turned to the Yo-Kai "but I know my brother wouldn't stand on two legs, shake his hooves, make that face and say No way like that."
"I got it!" Whisper secretly pulled out the Yo-Kai Pad. "His name is Noway."
"Noway? Is it really that simple?" First replied,
"Indeed it is," Whisper nodded, "he's a Yo-Kai that makes other ponies and Yo-Kai say 'No way' to anypony in the most insulting and rudest way possible."
"What!?" Scootaloo turned to the houses, "is that why Nate and Katie's mom aren't letting them out? How rude!" She turned back to the Yo-Kai. "Noway, stop inspiriting our friend's parents immediately!"
"No way!" Noway replied in a raspy voice, shaking his hands in a 'no' pose.
"Please!"
"No way!"
"If you don't do it, I'll make you!" Scootaloo threatened,
"No way!"
"Last chance! Do it now!"
"No way..."
"You've brought this on yourself then!" Scootaloo replied, pulling out Jibanyan's medal and inserted it into the watch, "Come on out my friend! Calling Jibanyan! Yo-Kai Medal, Do your thing!"
"Summoning, Charming!"
"Alarming! Boom Boom! Walla Walla, Dance dance! Charming!"
"Jibanyan!" Jibanyan posed, then decided to nap on the ground.
"Seriously Nyaow? I'm haven't finished eating my Choco Bars!." Jibanyan complained. With Noway wasting no time, he decided to inspirit the new Yo-Kai.
"Huh?" Jibanyan woke with a sudden feeling, then stood up, made the face of Noway, mouth and eye lining included, and shook his hands,
"No way..." Jibanyan yowled,
"Him too!" Scootaloo gasped, "this really is a tough Yo-Kai to deal with..."
"Hmm..." First was carefully looking at the situation, then an idea struck his mind.
"Hey Scoots," First whispered, "do you think Noway has any other vocabulary other than 'No way'?"
"Uh..." Scootaloo thought it out, then turned with a puzzled expression, "what are you trying to pull?"
"I wonder if we could pull reverse psychology on him."
"That sounds like one of those comic book jokes."
"It sounds ridiculous, but it actually works. I know Flash would do the most ridiculous things in order to get his victims to confess during interrogation." First replied,
"Victims? Surely you mean criminals..." Scootaloo cringed, "but anything's worth a shot! I'll give it a few practice rounds first. Just to see if it will work." She turned to Jibanyan, "hey Jibanyan? Can you fight Noway?"
"No Way,"
"Please Jibanyan?"
"No way..."
"Do it, or you won't have a Choco Bar!"
"No way..."
"Not even Choco Bars..." Scootaloo stepped back, "but that's three times. Here goes nothing." She then gave a disappointed look, "fine then. Don't help me." Jibanyan gasped at those words,
"No way!!!" Jibanyan yelled at command, and charged towards Noway.
"No way?" Noway looked at the charging cat Yo-Kai with a confused look,
"It works!" Scootaloo gasped with a smile, "it actually works!!!" A surge of determination coursed through her mind as she put on a victorious grin and continued issuing out precise orders.
"Using the Paws of Fury is strictly prohibited!"
"No way!" Jibanyan replied, "Paws of Fury!" And he let out a blood-curling meow and let loose a flurry of blows his paws. Noway was peppered with an increasing number of paw prints, too slow to block anything.
"Now! The real target!" Scootaloo turned to Noway, "Noway? Say No Way!!!"
"Hmm... Hrrrr!!!!" Noway held his mouth with pressure, unsure whether to say No way or not...
"Got you now!" Scootaloo pointed, "Noway, continue on inspiriting Nate and Katie's mom!"
"N--! N--!" Noway continued on holding his mouth as the commands were against his will, but knowing that he couldn't do anything about it, he relented in defeat.
"No way..." Noway sighed, and let loose his inspiring aura on the two houses. A few seconds later, Nate and Katie galloped out the door.
"Alright! You did it Scoots!" Whisper applauded,
"Not yet! I want some compensation..." Scootaloo continued, "after what you've done to my friends, don't even think of becoming one with me Noway."
"No way..." Noway slouched even further in defeat. A light blue aura surrounded his body which flew into the air and condensed into a Yo-Kai medal. It floated down towards Scootaloo, and the flightless filly grabbed it with victory.
"Now I'm satisfied." Scootaloo replied, "Reverse Psychology is certainly something..."
"S-Sorry about that Noway..." First apologised, "please... Don't forgive my sister's rashness."
"No way..."
"Scoots? First!" The siblings turned to see Nate and Katie galloping towards them,
"Sorry for being late!" Nate apologised with a bow "for some reason, my mom was say 'No Way' all the time, I don't know why..."
"My mom was doing the same thing too for some reason." Katie also bowed, "sorry that we got you worried,"
"No problem, we understand." First smiled, "now that you're out, I have a feeling that Bear, Eddie, Alex and Sarah are suffering the same thing..."
"I-In that case, let's go find them! We can help too!" Nate replied,
"Actually," First looked at his sister, "I think it's best that you should wait at Triangle Park. It's going to be a pain if we split up again waste more time finding each other."
"Good point," Katie replied, "in that case, good luck to you two!" And the two galloped away.
"If they came," First replied, "I don't think they'll understand what we are trying to do."
"Exactly," Scootaloo replied, "Whisper, Jibanyan, let's go."
"Righty-o!"
Galloping towards Blossom Heights, the siblings and Yo-Kai came across shop of Bear's Parents and above it, the Branston Household.
"Mum! Please! I've told you a million times, I've already done my homework! Look! I'm showing it to you!" A familiar voice can be heard from above,
"No! Nuh uh! You've also got a lot to catch up. Your grades need improving!"
"But I PROMISED!!!"
"Oh dear, that sounds like Bear and Mrs Branston." Scootaloo overheard,
"What problem did Bear and the rest fall into?" First asked,
"Reasons dealing with homework, household chores and the like, but all the kids complaints were the same: I've done all that, I promised." Whisper answered.
"Hmm..." Scootaloo replied, "but what Yo-Kai would be specifically responsible for all this?" She pulled out her Yo-Kai Watch and activated it's radar mode.
*Bwoo... Bwoo...* The Yo-Kai Watch echoed out high pitch noises, the indication of a nearby Yo-Kai.
"Hmm..." Scootaloo followed the Watch's guidance, "it seems to be leading me towards... Sarah and Alex's house? Interesting... It's as if it's the Yo-Kai is directly in the middle of the three houses..." As she continued trotting towards the location, something knocked her back.
"Huh?" Scootaloo looked back up front in confusion. The space in front of her was just the continuation of a road.
"That's strange..." Scootaloo shrugged as she continued walking... Only to bump into something again.
"Okay, what is going on?" Scootaloo stretched her hoof out and it stopped at something hard. The only problem was that there was nothing in front of her to signify that there was a wall.
"Scoots?" First asked,
"Something's in the way..." Scootaloo replied, "and I think I know why." She pulled out the Lens and revealed a blowfish with arms and legs.
"Huh?" The Blowfish Yo-Kai grunted, "you can see me?"
"Clear as Celestia's light!"
"Whatever. Whether you can see me or not, you ain't getting past me!" The Yo-Kai replied,
"This is..." Whisper looked through his Yo-Kai Pad, "Blowkade,"
"Blowkade???" First looked back, "don't tell me that's a pun played on the combination of Blowfish and Blockade?"
"I believe you just answered your question First," Whisper replied, "Blowkade is responsible for mostly blocking the ways and paths of most ponies, giving it his all. Nopony knows why."
"Hey Blowkade?"
"What do you want?"
"Can you please stop inspiriting our friend's parents?"
"None can do! Those foals are not going anywhere, and now that you've seen me... Neither will you!"
"Getting into it quick huh?" Scootaloo replied, "well, there are many ways to break a wall down. Jibanyan?"
"Got it! Paws of Fury!" Jibanyan yelled and sent out a flurry of paw strikes once more. The moment his paws touched the Yo-Kai's spiky body, the cat reeled in pain from this throbbing paws.
"Meowch!" Jibanyan cried, "It hurts! And... Why do I feel so tired?"
"Uh..." Scootaloo examined Jibanyan's wounds, "didn't the Science teacher say that Blowfish had some form of toxin?" Soon, Jibanyan began coughing and sweating all over, even to the point where ample amounts of bubbling saliva was spewing from his mouth."
"Eww!" Scootaloo stepped back from the gurgling Jibanyan,
"Oh dear," First gulped with terror as the bravely approached the cat, "it looks like the poison is taking its effect on Jibanyan. We have to do something about it... Fast!"
"Whisper!" Scootaloo called, "do you have anything that can help him?"
"I-I've got some medicine on me, we can apply it on the wounds!"
"Wait a minute..." First realised, "you're not a real blowfish, you're just a Yo-Kai! And your ability is to block anypony's way, not poison them!"
"Grahg! Grrg! Guh... Ahh..." Jibanyan stopped spewing saliva and calmed his muscles, "that feels soooo much better!"
"Ji-Jibanyan?"
"My brain just wanted to mess with my nerves and body systems all of a sudden." Jibanyan replied while wiping his mouth. "But now it's all gone!"
"Well..." First exclaimed without emotion, "thanks for dramatically telling us that we won't get lethally poisoned by him, but we still can't get him to move through physical means..."
"In that case," Scootaloo devised, "we should attack him from afar! Do we have any Yo-Kai that can dish out thunder attacks?"
"Well, I was told Wantston was one who managed to use Lightning on Sproink the last time we fought!" First devised, "think he'll be enough?"
"I didn't want to resort to violence, and neither do the Yo-Kai..." Scootaloo replied, "but this blowfish is stubborn enough to take it like a stallion!" And pulled out Wantston's medal, "Come on out my friend! Calling Wantston! Yo-Kai Medal..." She inserted it, "do your thing!"
"Summoning Heartful!"
"Speedy, artful! sing la la la! Everywhere, Heartful!" The watch sang to the Heartful and light jingle.
"Wantston!" Wantston posed and looked around. "Huh??? I thought Grubsnitch would be here too..."
"Sorry about that Wantston." Scootaloo replied, "we sort of needed only you today."
"Really? Come on!" Wantston moaned, "Grubsnitch and I were currently hanging out with some other Yo-Kai, and we were getting along great!"
"Yeah... Still sorry about that." First bowed in apology,
"Why do you guys want me anyway?"
"Just need some help in zapping a Yo-Kai." Scootaloo gestured towards Blowkade.
"Oh! This guy! I've seen him before... One time, I planned to meet Grubsnitch, he got in my way and made me went a very long way which wasted a lot of time." He punched his hands together, "I've always WANTED to return the favor!"
"Well..." Scootaloo gulped, "glad it got you motivated to help us."
"Actually," an idea popped into Wantston's head, "maybe one of the Yo-Kai I just met could help too. Do you know a Yo-Kai named Komajiro?"
"Him?" First looked through the medallium, "yeah, we know him. Friendly country folk, him and his brother."
"He'd be a great help as well. His dances can summon bolts of lightning from the skies above. Imagine what happens if our lightning powers combined, it would pack a shocking punch against Blowkade, that he will get the message to not block Yo-Kai or poines ever again!" Wantston replied,
"Okay then!" First tossed the medal to his sister, "all to you know."
"Come on out my friend!" Scootaloo held Komajiro's medal, "Calling Komajiro! Yo-Kai Medal, do your thing!!!"
"Summoning Charming!"
"Alarming! Boom Boom! Walla Walla, Dance dance! Charming!" The upbeat charming tune played,
"Komajiro!" Komajiro posed,
"Oh mah swirls!" Komajiro gasped, "there you are Wantston! The rest of us were worried about you!"
"Sorry about that Komajiro," Scootaloo apologised, "we needed some help, and Wantston here suggested you."
"That so? Well, since you brought Wantston along as well... Ah guess the favor ya owe me can be lenient!"
"Favor!?" First jumped at the unexpected answer, "then uh... Sure! We owe you and your brother then!"
"Can both of you pitch your lightning abilities together?" Scootaloo asked, "on Blowkade over here."
"No problem!" Wantston replied as he made circles in the air with his hands, "let's make some noise!"
"Stand back y'all..." Komajiro warned, "it's gonna get dangerous whenever ah dance." And clapping his hands three times, he broke out into a slow but mystical dance.
"Bring the lightning!" Wantston called,
"Come on down y'all!" Komajiro waved his limbs and body wildly as their purple aura swiftly struck the skies above and returned with one big lighting strike straight on the blowfish.
"Yeeeowch!!!!" Blowkade yelped in pain and disintegrated with a puff of purple smoke, leaving behind a patch of black where the lightning struck and a medal in the middle.
"Electrifying!" Scootaloo complimented that was some amazing strike,
"Ow... My eyes..." First winced as he held his eyes together. "You also should have warned us about the flash."
"Tell me about it..." Jibanyan also covered his eyes from the flashing pain.
"Mah apologies." Komajiro bowed, "ah guess Mama Nature are still dangerous to ponies."
"Well then..." Whisper floated over the medal and touched it, hoping that there was no sort of electrical energy still remaining. Knowing that it was now safe, he picked it up and offered it to the siblings. "Three more of your friends freed, and one more Yo-Kai befriended!"
"You know..." First accepted the medal and placed it in the medallium. "I feel like you're a bit too forceful on the Yo-Kai today Scoots... Making friends through violence."
"First, they were blocking our friends." Scootaloo reasoned, "and we've warned them many times about telling them to stop it. Heck, even Blowkade hurt poor Jibanyan over here!"
"I understand that, but two wrongs don't make a right..."
"Oh come on First!" Scootaloo laughed, "why are YOU so morally concerned today? It's like you've gone soft!"
"..." First stayed silent after they've said their goodbyes to Wantston and Komajiro. Glaring at his older sister behind her back.
"First?" Scootaloo turned around when they realise First was lagging behind, "you alright?"
"... It's nothing..." First replied and caught up with the group on their way to Eddie's house in Breezy Hills.
"I've checked Triangle Park." Whisper reported to the siblings, "Bear, Alex and Sarah has met up with Nate and Katie. It's also just hit three in the afternoon. What time did you say that Flash needs you to return?"
"Before the evening," Scootaloo replied, "which probably makes it before Six O'Clock. We've got enough time!"
"And to make up for any sort of time lost, we have you to check up on our friends while we make our way to Eddie's House!" Jibanyan replied, "glad to have you Whisper!"
"I don't recall me being YOUR butler Jibanyan..." Whisper sneered,
"Anyway," First continued, "I've managed to hear what's going on inside the house, sounds like Eddie's using some horsepower through his grunting and all."
"Like I said," Whisper repeated, "his parents would not budge from blocking the door."
"But... It wouldn't be THAT hard to push them out of the way..."
"That's true," Whisper replied, "when I looked at them, they're smaller than Bear's parents."
"But what's with the weight gain?" Scootaloo asked, "it's like something has made them immovable like a lead balloon..."
"HOLD IT!!!" Whisper yelled, frightening the group, "Scoots, what simile did you use?"
"... Lead Balloon. Why is that?" Scootaloo repeated,
"This can't be a coincidence!" Whisper showed the Yo-Kai Pad to the group, "I thought there would be a Yo-Kai around here, and the moment I looked at this Yo-Kai's description, it has to be him!"
"Ledballoon." First read, "a Yo-Kai that is immovable against quite a lot of odds. Whenever he inspirits others, so too will the victim be immovable like a statue. He would also mostly do it when the victim is standing in the middle of a walkway, blocking people so they won't go through."
"So he's like Blowkade." Scootaloo also looked at the screen, "even looks like him too. With different colours of course..."
"Also," Whisper continued reading, "His inspiritment also invokes a feeling of being poked by needles. Specifically, his. However, there is this rumour that his name suggests. The needles of this particular Blowfish Yo-Kai claims to contain traces of... Lead."
"Lead???" Scootaloo gulped, "Isn't that?"
"Very poisonous metal," Whisper continued, "unlike the short term toxin that blowfish exert, one poke from this Yo-Kai can leave you with dangerous long-term effects that come with Lead Poisoning."
"Perhaps we should have brought some safety protection..." First spoke,
"Wow, you're really acting soft today..." Scootaloo remarked, "l-let's just find this Ledballoon already." And flipping out the lens one more time, she found the blowfish standing right next to the stairway up to the Archer House.
"Oh, you found me?" Ledballoon croaked, "perfect. Looks like I don't have any privacy anymore..."
"In that case, why don't you move somewhere quiet and where nopony is around?" Scootaloo suggested,
"That being said, anywhere where Yo-Kai or the two of us can't see you."
"Nah..." Ledballoon sighed, "I'm too tired to move a muscle, I'm to heavy to do such a thing."
"Seriously?" Jibanyan replied,
"If one of you can move me just an inch away from this house, my range of inspiritment will not reach its inhabitants."
"So all we have to do is move you. Is that it?" First asked,
"Pretty much!"
"About that," Scootaloo brought up, "are your needles um... Laced with Lead?"
"Lead?" Ledballoon asked, "well..." He put on a sly grin, "my name definitely says otherwise, but why don't you try to move me yourself? Then you'll get the answer to your question! If you dare..."
"O-Okay..." Scootaloo nodded, hesitant to move any closer,
"Scootaloo, the honour is yours." First gestured,
"I know, I know..." Scootaloo felt weak in her legs, "I'll be off in a second?"
"Scoots?" First continued pressing the matter, until Scootaloo broke up in fear,
"I can't! I'm not going to do it!" Scootaloo replied, "If there's something that I'm going to be tough against, I would do anything BUT things that can risk my own life!"
"Scoots..." First placed a hoof to comfort his sister,
"Sorry everypony..." Scootaloo shivered, "looks like we won't be getting Eddie out after all..."
"Ho ho ho!!!" Ledballoon laughed and taunted, "looks like I'll be staying here for a long time now!" First looked at the Yo-Kai, then to Jibanyan and Whisper, turning his head to the direction of Triangle park, and down to his trembling sister.
"You... You..." First turned to Ledballoon, his leg muscles tensing up, his eyebrows furrowed, his mouth turning into a furious frown. "You dare mock my sister?" He roared at the Yo-Kai, shaking him by surprise, "I won't allow it!!!"
"U-Um..." Ledballoon started sweating in fear as the small earth pony slowly but fiercely marched towards him.
"First?" Scootaloo looked at her completely changed brother. Once soft in his actions and reasons, now developed into somepony strong and tough.
"Rraaahhh!!!" First lifted the dark brown blowfish high into the air with his teeth and without any effort.
"H-Hey!" Ledballoon cried, "What are you doing!? Put me down at once!"
"Here's something you should know." First mumbled through his teeth, "nopony EVER hurts or taunts my sister, except for my friends and me!"
"First!" Scootaloo called, "what about the toxin?"
"Here's something to motivate you to stop being lazy and heavy!" First continued, ignoring his sister's warnings. He began to spin around to prepare for a winding throw. As he spun faster, Ledballoon began to feel spin too, feeling very dizzy.
"Hrk!!!" Ledballoon clutched his stomach, "too fast! I'm going too fast!"
"Raah!!!" First aimed his body towards the sky, and let go of the heavy blowfish, the speed built up from spinning around causing him to fly high into the air.
"Aahhh!!!!" Ledballoon across Springdale, until he was too far to be seen from view, but not before his medal fell out of his body.
"Hmph..." First growled back, catching that something and placing it into the Medallium. "No poison, just the weight of lead."
"Amazing First!" Whisper applauded, "that was some strength!"
"Th-Thanks..." First stuttered, "for the compliment."
"That was cool First! You were super powerful!" Jibanyan continued with the compliments. Scootaloo however, had a blank look of surprise on her face.
"Wow..." Scootaloo let out, "that... Was really unexpected coming from you. I wish to say that it was you, but I'm pretty sure you're far from what you are just a few seconds ago." Pulling out the watch, she placed the lens on her brother. There, a soft but solid cuboid of a rice cake stood behind him.
"Well hey!" The Yo-Kai firmly patted First's shoulder, "ain't youze a strong n tough' un yourself! I like that in a pony!"
"... A Yo-Kai's inspiriting me right?" First asked, unable to see the Yo-Kai behind him,
"That is Mochismo." Whisper read off his Yo-Kai Pad, "soft on the outside, very tough and strong on the inside. Anypony inspirited by him will have a temporary soft demeanour, but will show their fearsome internal toughness and unparalleled strength when threatened!"
"So what I did back then, that wasn't me," First concluded, looking through the lens to permanently see Mochismo,
"Physically, it wasn't you." Scootaloo corrected, nuzzling First, "but on the inside... You really did care for me. Thanks little bro, for standing up for me."
"Aww..." Jibanyan looked at the siblings with a little twinge of jealousy but still full of happiness for the two.
"As much as I hate to break this sibling bonding moment, do remember the time." Whisper interrupted,
"Oh right..." First remembered, ending the embrace with a shove.
"Hey, Eddie?" Scootaloo called to the house, "you in there?"
"Not anymore I'm not!" Eddie burst out his front door, panting for air. "Sorry about that. For some reason, my parents just stood at the door like statues. It was like they're possessed or something..."
"That so?" First asked,
"But that's a ridiculous conclusion. The supernatural doesn't exist, and even if they did, they wouldn't be causing my mom and dad to stand frozen at the door."
"That specific?" First continued asking,
"There's gotta be some explanation for this..." Eddie mumbled, "but that's for later. Have I been keeping you long?"
"Not really," First replied, "everypony's at Triangle Park, waiting for us."
"Why don't you go on ahead?" Scootaloo gestured, "we'll catch up later."
"Okay then, don't be slow!" Eddie waved as he galloped towards Triangle Park.
"Supernatural? We don't exist?" Whisper spoke, feeling insulted, "goodness me! I was in front of him the whole time!"
"Oh Whisper," Scootaloo giggled "remember that not everypony can see Yo-Kai. If one of the greatest minds of knowledge got a hold of the Yo-Kai Watch, especially Princess Twilight, her way of thinking as well as her complexity would go topsy turvy like she did last time when her face went all weird and crazy."
"I'm not afraid to let him experiment or even dissect me, I just want to be more known to Ponies. It's like I'm some sort of ghost!"
"Well..." Jibanyan pointed at Whisper, the siblings understood what Jibanyan meant and laughed.
"You know, being friends with Yo-Kai and helping other friends against Yo-Kai is actually quite fun!" Scootaloo pointed out,
"Yeah." First agreed, "though it may be dangerous. I'm surprised to say this myself: I'm very excited for our next encounter with Yo-Kai!"
