Applejack chased after Applebloom and the Roughraff who had stolen her hat down the first road. It was a very tight chase, but Applebloom was still just a filly, and it soon became apparent when she looked back and saw her sister catching up to her at a steady pace. Both she and Roughraff knew that they would both get caught.

Roughraff leapt off of Applebloom and backflipped high into the air. He held on tight to the hat and grabbed onto the ledge of a nearby window. He hoisted himself up and got out of the way of Applejack's rope with very little time to spare as he managed to scale the building and get onto the roof.

"Ha! Try and catch me now, country hick!" Roughraff taunted as he ran across the rooftops of the adjacent houses. Whenever he came to a large gap in between two of the houses, he took a running jump and just managed to grab the edges of the next one, pulling himself up once he had a firm grip.

"So that's how he's gonna play it, is he?" Applejack snarled and readied her rope again while pursuing the Yo-kai. "I'm gonna catch that varmint if it's the last thing I do!"

The chase resumed, with Applejack throwing the rope countless times as she tried to grab onto Roughraff and pull him down to the ground. No matter how many times she threw it, though, the rope just fazed right through him. It seemed that trying to grab him with it was impossible, as Applejack began to pant heavily after a few more throws.

"Weak. I can do this all day." Roughraff smirked as he made another jump.

"Surprise!" Whisper suddenly dropped down from the sky and rammed himself into Roughraff mid-jump. The impact sent the bully plummeting like a stone dropped into water, and the hat that he was wearing tumbled off, right by Applejack's feet.

As Applejack took back her hat and put it on her head, she saw Applebloom approach her. Unbeknownst to her, the purple flame had vanished, and her sister was giving her a look of innocence. Applejack took the time to nuzzle Applebloom, and the two of them walked off to attend to other manners.

"No fair!" Roughraff pushed Whisper off of him. "I almost outran her!"

"Nothing's ever fair when you're involved, Roughraff," Whisper chided. "Now get out of Equestria, and don't come back until you learn some manners!"

"Tch... You may have beaten me this time, but there's two other Roughraff in this town," he said. "And they're gonna make sure that they never cough up that wallet or Yo-Kai Medallium!" And with that, he vanished.

"Not while I'm here." Whisper took off to go and see how Twilight and Manjimutt were faring with their own chases.

Twilight used her wings to catch up to Sweetie Belle, but as soon as she got close to her book, Roughraff balanced himself on Sweetie's bouncing back and gave Twilight a powerful kick to her face, knocking her back by a few feet. Despite all of that, though, she wouldn't give up until she had her Yo-Kai Medallium back.

"C'mon. You're a pony with wings and a horn!" Roughraff sat back down and held onto the Yo-Kai Medallium as tight as he could. "Why don't you try and use your freaky-deaky magic to try and stop me?"

"If that's a way of baiting me, it's not gonna work. But" —Twilight caught up with Roughraff and avoided his next kick before she swooped in front of him and used her magic to create a wall directly in front of both him and Sweetie Belle— "if you desperately want to see my magic, then there you are."

Roughraff and Sweetie Belle crashed head-on into the wall and dropped the Yo-Kai Medallium. Twilight took it before they got any clever ideas and looked for a Yo-kai that she thought would be capable of finishing the problem once and for all.

"You've been a naughty little thing, Roughraff." Twilight pulled out her medal of choice and threw it into the air. "Luckily, I've got just the Yo-kai to get you to stop this nonsense!" She rammed it into her Yo-Kai Watch and watched her friend materialize before her eyes.

"SUMMONING: EERIE!" the Yo-Kai Watch declared.

Lookie-lee, lookie-lee,
Flippidy-dee! Lookie-lee, lookie-lee,
Bubba Eerie!

"Coughkoff!" The Yo-kai shouted before it let out a hearty cough.

"Coughkoff, eh?" Roughraff recovered from the crash and got himself into a fighting stance. "You must really be that desperate if you're going to use him to stop me," he snickered. "I bet you probably don't even have a Tough or Brave Yo-kai yet, do you?"

"You don't need a specific Yo-kai for combat." Twilight stood behind Coughkoff and stared Roughraff down. "Just as long as that Yo-kai will be willing to fight for you, then it doesn't really matter about tribes."

"Yeah! I'm gonna—" he coughed again "—show you just how strong us Eerie types can be!"

"Bring it, sea urchin." Roughraff held out his hand and flexed his fingers, trying to provoke Coughkoff.

The battle began with Coughkoff charging in on Roughraff, spinning like a top to try and poke him with his sharp edges. Roughraff waited for an opening, as he knew that his opponent's weak point was the mouth and eye in the middle of his body.

"Wait for it..." Roughraff braced himself for the attack. "Wait for it..." He squinted his eyes and tightened his knuckles. "Now!" With a powerful punch, he hit Coughkoff right in the teeth, knocking him away and causing him to crash into Twilight. "Woo! Strike!"

"Keep on talking, Roughraff." Coughkoff recovered from the attack and got back up. "I've got plenty of—" he let out another chesty cough "—tricks that'll scare you right out of your pants."

Coughkoff shot off an inspiriting flame into the air and made it come crashing down on Roughraff. He sat back and watched as his target began coughing and hacking uncontrollably.

"Need some water?" Coughkoff offered, glowing a shade of blue. "Here you go!" Lurching forward, he conjured up a small torrent of water that came crashing down on top of Roughraff, knocking onto his butt.

"Yeah! Nice work, Coughkoff!" Twilight hoof-pumped at the blow that he had dealt Roughraff.

"Think you're hot stuff?" Roughraff flexed his muscles, causing the purple flame to vanish. "I've still got some fight left in me. Can't really say the same for you, though." He jumped into the air and tried to punch Coughkoff. His first strike missed, but he followed it up with another attack the second he landed, striking his target in the jaws.

The battle continued, with both Roughraff and Coughkoff trading blows back and forth. This went on for quite a while and both of them were getting worn down easily after each and every hit. Their energy was sapped away, until eventually, their punches and charges were so sluggish that it didn't really feel like they were really hurting each other at all.

"Think... I'm done with you yet?" Roughraff took very deep breaths as both he and Coughkoff came to a stand-still.

"You can't win this, Roughraff!" Coughkoff was inhaling and exhaling so much that he couldn't even muster up a single cough.

"Alright, this is too painful to watch." Twilight walked in front of both of the Yo-kai and used her hooves to separate the two of them. "Look at both of you! You're fighting so much that you're wearing yourselves down. You'll never be able to keep going like this!"

"Geez... What a buzzkill." Roughraff knelt down, feeling the pain from the battle flare up suddenly. After all of that fighting, he had failed to notice the places where he had been hit by Coughkoff's spikes, and they had been digging into his body ever since. "But I guess you do have a point there."

"He's right, you know, Twilight." Coughkoff floated up to her. "I can't take being punched in the jaw any more today."

"You two both need to get some rest." Twilight stepped out of the way of both Yo-kai. "Take a break, have some food and drink, and then come back tomorrow."

"Yeah." Roughraff shambled forward towards Coughkoff. "Whaddaya say? Rematch later?"

"Sounds good to me." Coughkoff smiled before letting loose a much smaller cough than before. "Any time, anywhere."

"I'd shake your hand, but I don't think you have any." Roughraff gave Coughkoff a thumbs up gesture before he came over to Twilight. "You might need this, just in case we get bored of waiting." He handed her his Yo-kai Medal. "Just make sure you bring Coughkoff along so we can settle the score, K?"

"How intriguing..." Whisper appeared beside Twilight and examined the Yo-kai Medal. "Roughraff usually doesn't hand these out. Whatever happened here?"

"Oh, Whisper." Twilight turned to face him. "You should've seen it. Roughraff and Coughkoff were sparring for at least ten minutes." She looked back at both of them, who were still recovering from the fight.

"Well, I suppose that explains it, then." Whisper crossed his arms and smiled. "Roughraff craves fights, delinquent behaviour, and anything that a normal bully would do. It's no surprise that after a fight with one of your Yo-kai, he would want to be your friend," he said. "When a Roughraff finds an equal, he wants to make sure that he can try and best them."

"So, I can expect to see Roughraff and Coughkoff fighting more in the future?" Twilight asked.

"It's quite possible," Whisper watched both of them disappear. "But right now, there's only one more Roughraff left in Ponyville. And that's the one who stole Manjimutt's wallet, no doubt."

"We should go after them, then." Twilight walked off with the Yo-Kai Medallium secured and her new medal inserted into it. "Coughkoff put up a great fight, but I'm not really so sure about Manjimutt."

"Well, there's only one way to find out, isn't there?" Whisper floated off with Twilight. "Come on, Twilight. If we hurry, we might still be able to see them throwing down."

"So, this is how it's gonna be, huh?" The third Roughraff circled around the open space with Manjimutt doing the same.

"Yes. One-on-one. Just the way I like it." Manjimutt glared at Roughraff as he continued to walk. "And one way or another, I'm getting my wallet back, and your cronies aren't gonna be able to stop me."

"You want this wallet back so badly?" Roughraff held it in his hand before he slipped it back into his pocket. "Then come and take it from me!"

"Gladly!" Manjimutt dashed at Roughraff with his teeth gritted.

Just like with the fight from before, Roughraff and Manjimutt were trading attacks with each other. There were punches, kicks, and headbutts as the two fighters collided with each other relentlessly. It was a long and arduous batle, and neither side was ready to give an inch.

"You must really want this old thing, don't you?" Roughraff gnashed his teeth together as he tried to get Manjimutt off of his body. He thrashed and flailed, but to absolutely no avail as the man-faced dog held his limbs down with his paws.

"It's my wallet, with my money, and my credit card too!" Manjimutt stomped down hard on Roughraff's chest multiple times. "Give. It. Back. To. Me!"

"Grr! Enough of this!" Roughraff summoned all of his strength and threw Manjimutt into the air. He waited for him to come back down and gave him a powerful kick that sent him hurtling into a nearby fruit stand, which was absolutely destroyed with the collision.

"Alright. Now you're asking for it!" Manjimutt began to gather energy for his Soultimate, while Roughraff tried to close the gap between the two of them so he could counter the energy flow.

"Oh no you don't!" Whisper arrived on the scene with Twilight in tow. He held Roughraff back, anchoring him in place as Manjimutt continued collecting energy.

"H-hey! Get offa me!" Roughraff shook frantically to try and get Whisper off of him, but just like earlier, that bore no fruit for him.

"Now you'll see how you like it when the odds are against you!" Whisper's grip on the Roughraff got stronger as Manjimutt's teeth started to glow. "Finish him, Manjimutt!"

"You got it, Whisper!" Manjimutt jumped at Roughraff as Whisper pushed him to the ground. "CREEPY SUPERBITE!" Manjimutt's teeth came down hard and fast on Roughraff's chest.

As soon as the teeth bit him, Roughraff's eyes went wide, and he fell down onto his chest before he simply vanished in a puff of smoke like all the rest, leaving behind the wallet that he had stolen before.

"Well, that was hectic." Whisper looked at the wallet and handed it back to Manjimutt. "But I believe that this is yours."

"Thanks, you two." Whisper took the wallet and put it away somewhere safe. "You know, that was a good workout, wasn't it?"

"Yeah." Twilight nodded. "All that running, flying, and fighting's good for the body."

"I'm just happy that everything's back to normal and that we fixed the Roughraff infestation," said Whisper. "But, if you ever run into another situation involving those little punks, you know who to call, Manjimutt."

"I do indeed." He materialized his Yo-kai Medal and gave it to Twilight, who took it and put it in the Yo-Kai Medallium. "If you need me in combat, I'll be there faster than you can say 'doggone it'!"

"Thank you, Manjimutt." Twilight gently stroked his back and petted him. "I hope that you find a good job and a great house here in Equestria. You deserve it after the stuff you've been through today."

"Yeah. See you around, Twilight." Manjimutt walked off into the distance with his money safe and sound.

"Two Yo-kai Medals in one day." Whisper looked at the medals for Roughraff and Manjimutt sitting prettily in the Medallium. "I'd say that's great progress."

"Yeah, but don't forget that there's still over four-hundred more to find." Twilight flipped through all of the blank pages that she could find. "With how big this book is, I can only imagine that we're only just getting started." She then noticed a section unlike the others, which had the eight different tribe logos surrounding an archaic symbol in the middle of the two pages. "Hey, Whisper? What's this weird page here for?"

"Oh, well that's for another day, Twilight." Whisper closed the book up and helped Twilight to put it away. "With all of the stuff that happened with Roughraff, you must be absolutely exhausted from that chase."

"What? No way. I've still got plenty of energy left in me." Twilight smirked.

"Oh, really?" Whisper raised a brow at Twilight.

"Yeah! Last one to the lake's a rotten egg!" Twilight took off and flew through over the town with Whisper following close behind her, laughing all the way.

As Twilight and Whisper flew away, a figure stood on the rooftops standing on one of its' two legs. The scarf it wore began to move and it talk into its' master's ear.

"No. Not yet. She's not ready." The figure whispered back to its' scarf and leapt away from Ponyville, fading away with the wind.

"So, Yo-kai can eat and drink just like regular ponies can?" Twilight looked around and saw some Yo-kai munching on apples down by the trees.

"Yes. And just like the many different ponies of Equestria, different Yo-kai have different diets." Whisper took an apple for himself and took a bite. "I myself can handle all kinds of food, but some other Yo-kai can get turned away by some foods. If you can understad their personal tastes and feed them accordingly, then you might have a slightly better chance at them becoming your friends."

"Well, can't you tell me a little bit about their diets?" Twilight asked.

"If I did, it would take the effort and struggle out of befriending them, now, wouldn't it?" Whisper wagged his finger in front of Twilight. "I might be your encyclopedia on everything Yo-kai, but I'm definitely not a strategy guide!" he said. "Besides. What's the point of having an adventure without a bit of a challenge?"

"I suppose you're right in that regard." Twilight was offered the apple, which she sank her teeth into and bit off a small chunk. "But I'm still having some trouble wrapping my head around this whole thing. Like, I never even knew that these creatures even existed before you came into my life," she said. "I've got a ton of research to do on them. I could even write a book about it! Yeah! I'd call it 'Twilight Sparkle's Supernatural and Freaky Friends: A Guide to the World of Yo-kai'!"

"That'd be a book I'd definitely want to read." Whisper nodded.

"No!" Rainbow Dash called out as she spoke to some of the townsponies.

"C'mon, Rainbow Dash!" one of them said. "Please?"

"Forget it!" Rainbow crossed her hooves and threw them out to her side. "I'm not your puppets. Do it yourselves!"

"Hey, what's going on here?" Twilight walked over to the crowd of townsponies with Whisper next to her.

"Twilight! Thank goodness you're here!" Mayor Mare walked up to Twilight and shook her hoof. "Rainbow Dash has been acting strange all morning."

"We just wanted her to clear out the clouds so that we don't get rained on during the flower show today, and she just keeps saying no to us." Another townspony stood next to Mayor Mare and nodded.

"We figured since you and Rainbow Dash are friends, maybe you could talk some sense into her." A third pony joined the other two.

"Don't worry about a thing, everyone." Twilight saw the ponies step aside, clearing the path between her and Rainbow Dash. "I'll get her busting those clouds before you even know it." She cleared her throat and looked up at Rainbow, who had lowered her eyebrows and was glaring at her. "Rainbow Da—"

"If you're with those other ponies, you can forget about it." Rainbow cut her off. "My answer is no, and it's always gonna be no! Sometimes, these ponies just have to get what they're given."

"Rainbow Dash, stop this." Twilight's pitch lowered as she stared at Rainbow.

"No way." Rainbow spat at her.

"Clear the clouds!"

"No way!"

"GET TO WORK!"

"NO WAY!"

"Of course!" Whisper raised his finger, causing Twilight to stop arguing with Rainbow Dash. "I know exactly what's going on here!"

"Really? What is it, Whisper?" Twilight looked back at him. "Is there another Yo-kai involved?" She flipped up the lens and started to look around.

"Yes. There is." Whisper saw that Twilight was already looking around for the Yo-kai inspiriting Rainbow Dash. "There's no other explanation that Rainbow Dash would be saying no to everything. There's definitely a Yo-kai causing trouble around here. Now, let's see if you can—"

"Found it!" Twilight rang out as the lens materialized a Yo-kai in front of her and Whisper.

The new Yo-kai looked similar to a brick wall with arms and legs. Its' top half was tiled, and the body looked like it was made out of pure cinderblock. It stood proudly in front of Rainbow Dash holding its' hands out to block anyone and anything from getting past it, and it distanced its' feet far apart in case something tried to fight it.

"What is that?" Twilight looked at the Yo-kai, pushing out with its' arms.

"That, Twilight, is Noway. Noway is a Tough tribe Yo-kai with the power to make its' target say no to absolutely everything." Whisper flew around Noway and avoided being swatted away by its' small arms. "No matter how much people beg, plead, and cry, Noway will make the person inspirited by it to say no, every single time." He flew back next to Twilight. "That being said, though, if you can fly, then it's not too hard to get around him physically. But in terms of trying to persuade Noway or getting his victim to do something, you have more chance of becoming a brain-surgeon-astronaut than talking them out of it. Still, though. Negotiation or confrontation as usual. But given what you're up against, it's better to just beat Noway senseless than try to negotiate with him."

"I'm already ahead of you on that, Whisper." Twilight pulled out a Yo-kai Medal from the Medallium. "I've got just the Yo-kai to tear down this wall and bring Rainbow Dash back to her senses.

"Come on out, my Yo-kai friend! Calling Roughraff!" Twilight tossed the medal up and repeated the same process as she usually did when summoning a Yo-kai. "Yo-kai Medal, do your thing!" She put it into the slot.

"SUMMONING: TOUGH!" The watch yelled as orange streams launched out, generating Roughraff as a new song echoed through the air.

Gruff stuff! Rough bluff!
Red ban, jacket stand, bling blang,
Tough!

"Roughraff!" He declared, punching the air as he readied himself for a fight.

"Roughraff, I need you to fight this Noway for me." Twilight pointed out the Noway to Roughraff. "Do you think you can give him a good thrashing for me?"

"Do you even need to ask at this point?" Roughraff slicked back his pompadour and cracked his knuckles. "When I'm done with him, he'll be nothing more than pebbles scattered on the ground!"

Noway said nothing and stepped forward, ready to fight with Roughraff.

"You're mine!" Roughraff dealt a punch to Noway, but he didn't budge an inch. As powerful as the attack was, Roughraff didn't feel like he did very much and sent more and more punches towards the wall. All of which did connect, but he was the one taking damage instead of Noway. "Ah, c'mon! Why ain't you going down?!"

"Do you know how tough cinderblock is?" Noway pushed Roughraff to the ground and sat down with his hands in front of his body. "You won't be able to hurt me with attacks like that!"

"Noway, and its' later forms, Impass and Walldin are incredibly strong Yo-kai," Whisper told Twilight. "There's even a rumour that they have the power to stop a stampede of rioting people with little to no effort."

"He's nothing more than a brick wall, though." Roughraff shook his knuckles and blew on them to cool them down. "He can't really fight back, and I've still got plenty of fight in me."

"Prove it, then!" Noway called out as he crossed his arms. "But there's no way you're going to get past me."

"You're just asking for it now..." Roughraff ran towards Noway again, and did a flying kick right into Noway's face. He went at the Yo-kai with so much momentum that the kick managed to knock Noway backwards and cause him to fall onto the floor. "Hah! Gotcha!"

"Hey! That's unfair!" Noway whined as he tried to get back up onto his feet. However much he tried, his body shape and weight had rooted him to the ground, and he couldn't get back up, especially when Roughraff landed right on top of him.

"Hey, Twilight. You got any cardboard?" Roughraff asked. "I'm going to breakdance all over this Noway."

"Don't worry. I've got this." Whisper reached into his body and pulled out a big piece of cardboard. He set it down on top of Noway's face.

"How did you even do that, Whisper?" Twilight was dumbstruck at how Whisper was able to pull cardboard out of him.

"Oh the things that you don't know about me could fill a hundred of your checklists, Twilight." Whisper sat down on Twilight's back and pulled out some popcorn. "As much as I don't condone you doing this to a real pony, it is still just Roughraff and Noway. Oh! Almost forgot!" Whisper then pulled out a beatbox and turned it on, filling the air with a street beat.

"Ponies and gentlemen. My name's Roughraff, and it's time for me to pop, lock, and tear this Noway right up!" Roughraff spoke to the crowd. He knew he couldn't see them, but he was still having fun with his audience.

Roughraff began to tap his feet in time to the beat. He shook his arms for a while before the music intensified. Once it did, he was running all over Noway performing backflips, handstands, and fast spins. All of his moves were touching Noway, but it was still withstanding his dance routine.

"I never knew Roughraff was into breakdancing." Twilight watched the Roughraff perform all of his moves.

"Like I said. There's so much about Yo-kai that you don't know." Whisper ate one of the popcorn pieces. "That, and it just fits the mood, as a Noway on its' back is more helpless than a turtle on its' shell, or a baby without its' toys."

"You think it'll still want to be friends after this?" Twilight asked.

"Probably not. But it's for the best." Whisper ate another piece of the popcorn. "There's only a few times where Noway would ever be useful, anyways. Most of the time, his inspirits cause more problems than you can solve with them."

"Get ready, folks. It's time for the grand finale!" Roughraff put one of his hands on the ground and running around it, spinning around until he became something similar to a drill. He went faster and faster until he bore right through the cardboard and right onto Noway's face.

"Ahh! STOP IT! STOP IT! I GIVE!" Noway cried out as Roughraff tore through his body. Luckily for Noway, Roughraff did listen and ended by laying on his side, propping up his head with his arm. "Someone please help me up!"

"Alright, alright. I've had my fun." Roughraff threw away the torn cardboard and flipped Noway back onto his feet. He came back around and saw that he had drilled so hard that he had pushed Noway's face deeper into him, and that there were now cracks branching out from where he had been danced on.

"I'll do whatever you want just as long as you don't do that ever again!" Noway shouted at Roughraff.

"Well, for starters, I want you to apologize to Twilight and her friends, stop inspiriting that poor pony, and while you're at it, make sure to give her your Yo-kai Medal. K?" Roughraff used his fingers to list off each of his demands.

"The first two I can do, but I'm not giving anything out to nobody!" Noway removed the inspiriting flame and walked over to Twilight. "I'm sorry for causing you so much grief, Twilight. Can you ever forgive me?"

"No way, Noway." Twilight shook her head and turned away from the Yo-kai before she immediately took it all back. "I'm just kidding. You know that, right?"

Noway took in what Twilight had said and done to him, and he let a tiny chuckle slip. "You pulled a me." He fumbled around in the cracks in his wall and pulled out a Yo-kai Medal. "You know, I might be as strong as a brick wall, but even I have my own little sense of humour." He handed the medal to Twilight. "If you ever want to make someone say no, but they can't bring themselves to do it. Just give me a call. Who knows? For once, I might just agree."

"You sure you're OK?" Twilight examined the cracks and hole on his face. "I can get you fixed up if you'd like."

"No way. I can fix myself back in the Yo-kai World," Noway said. "But thanks for offering."

Noway disappeared, and Twilight walked back over to Rainbow Dash. The fire around her was gone, and she looked flustered at why so many townsponies were looking at her unhappily.

"Huh? What am I doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked herself before she looked up at the clouds, which were starting to bunch up together. "Oh yeah! The clouds!" And she charged off to get rid of them and prevent a rainstorm.

"What just happened to her?" Mayor Mare asked, looking at how Rainbow Dash cut through the clouds with minimal effort. "Why'd she say yes after all the times she said no?"

"Everyone cracks in the end, Mayor Mare," Twilight said. "Even literally in some cases."

Whisper, Roughraff, and Twilight shared a laugh at the joke and watched Rainbow finish off the last clouds, letting the sunlight streak down on Ponyville once again.

Author's Notes:

In terms of how I have the Yo-kai relationships and their powers, I use a combination of the game's lore and the anime's lore. However, that doesn't mean that the personalities of the Yo-kai are similar in both versions.

For example, in the anime, Kyubi was narcissistic, and loved capturing the hearts of ladies. In the 3DS game, however, Kyubi was a serious Yo-kai who tested Nate and Komasan by having them fight a Boss Yo-kai called Massiface. Kyubi in that game is a serious Yo-kai, and both he and Venoct are akin to a Yin-Yang, with Kyubi representing light, and Venoct representing dark.

I also wanted to try my hand at making some new relationships in this fanfic between certain Yo-kai, and even with Twilight and Whisper in relation to them. If you're interesred in this idea, then be sure to tell me your thoughts about it.

And in case you're wondering, yes. Terror Time WILL be in this fanfic, and Twilight will encounter Gargaros, Ogralus, and Orcanos in it. When it will show up, though, I can't guarantee, as Terror Time occurs randomly in the 3DS game.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and be sure to stay tuned for more.
