[edit] Story
Sho enjoys MTB (mountain biking) a whole lot, he's always practiced at the “X-Zone” with his friends, Kakeru and Makoto. One day, he was challenged to a race by a MTB team called Shark Tooth and whoever won the race got the X-Zone. For Sho, the X-Zone had always been a place of happy memories. He had spent many days there with his father who had passed away, so he couldn’t lose the game. During the race with the leader of Shark Tooth, black smoke suddenly covered the ground around them, and they were sent to another world. When Sho woke up, he found Kakeru, Makoto, and his MTB Flame Kaiser, were also there. Of course, they didn't know where they were... While they were wondering what had happened, MTB riders came. They challenged Sho to a MTB battle. They said the only way for Sho to return is by collecting 10 emblems by winning MTB Idaten Battles. This is how Sho came down to compete in Idaten Battles at various courses, such as ghost towns, volcanos, ancient ruins, deserts, and snow-topped montains. Now Sho must Itaden Battle for the sake of returning home.
