Summary

One day, the MTB team "Sharktooth" created by the Samejima brothers, who are also in the same elementary school, are challenged to an MTB battle for the "X-Zone," a place that holds memories of their dead father. On Sunday, while Shou and the leader Gabu were competing, black smoke enveloped the area and they were warped into a mysterious world. An adult MTB rider appears in front of the bewildered group and announces that they are in the X-Zone where they must compete with him in the Idaten Battles. In order to return to the original world, they must win the Idaten Battles and collect 10 gold emblems.
