In the year of the Cosmic Era, everyone on Earth is celebrating wildly. The usually bustling beach in Beibu City appears deserted, with only a boy—Zhou Yihuo—sitting alone on the sand. He is chatting with his dolphin friend KIMMY through a machine, lamenting about his declining grades, failing his physics exam, and how his parents won't take him to the grand celebration. At that moment, he is drawn by some intense light and, out of curiosity, decides to investigate. He discovers that the light is coming from the room of his neighbor, Dr. Nan. He sneaks outside the window to take a look. Dr. Nan, known as a mad scientist, is conducting a mysterious experiment. A mysterious card in his hand catches Zhou Yihuo's attention; it looks very ancient, and the doctor treats it with extreme care. After precise calculations, he injects six different colors of energy into the card using a device. Strange things happen; the card suddenly undergoes a dramatic change, is activated by the six energies, and opens a portal, sucking Dr. Nan inside, leaving no trace behind. Zhou Yihuo is both scared and curious. He secretly enters the doctor's room, picks up the card, and hides back in his house. At that moment, countless cards fall from the sky. The celebrators think it's part of the entertainment activities, so they don't pay much attention, only some curious and playful kids collect the cards, including Zhou Yihuo's good friend Ayu, who finds particularly many cards but is forced by his parents to throw them away; however, Ayu secretly keeps two. Just then, a mysterious masked figure emerges from the sea, resembling Dr. Nan. The masked figure establishes a secret base by the beach, collecting various cards for unknown purposes. The next day, Zhou Yihuo and Ayu study the cards at school. By chance, when they place the cards next to a popular toy among kids at the time, Bakugan, the Bakugan is given life and consciousness, transforming into a mechanical warrior. At the same time, time freezes, opening a parallel space, allowing Bakugan to become enormous robots that can communicate with them. Moreover, due to the energy granted by the cards, two Bakugan robots are surprisingly able to battle, leading to the birth of Zhou Yihuo's Galon Flame Dragon. This piqued their curiosity, so the two begin to collect cards everywhere and look for opponents to battle Bakugan. However, they fail to notice that the environment of their city is gradually deteriorating. Long Lingyin arrives at Beibu City searching for her missing grandfather, finding no clues and feeling anxious. She inquires everywhere about her grandfather's whereabouts, and it turns out the professor's card was stolen by student Dr. Nan. Long Lingyin then finds Dr. Nan's hometown and discovers strange scattered cards by the roadside. She realizes these cards closely resemble those documented in her grandfather's notebook, leading her to carefully collect them. The notes suggest that the professor believes the cards are objects from the cosmic core and are keys to the core of the universe. Ayu's hidden Bakugan cards are discovered and confiscated by his parents, leaving him dejected. He can only sneakily find Zhou Yihuo, and together, they go to Dr. Nan's room to investigate the source and use of Bakugan cards. They uncover research materials about Bakugan cards on Dr. Nan's computer, finding out there's energy of six attributes, which landed on Earth billions of years ago. However, Dr. Nan has not uncovered the origin or purpose of the cards. The two discover that each Bakugan card contains energies of six attributes and that the energy varies; thus, they begin to study strategies for the Bakugan game. Lou Wanlei is bullied by classmates and wanders alone on the beach, where he encounters the masked individual, who gives him two dark-attribute Bakugan cards and tells him he can gain respect from friends and classmates through Bakugan battles, leading Lou Wanlei to be uncertain. At school, students discuss the uses of the cards. Ayu carelessly shares Bakugan's uses with everyone and pulls Zhou Yihuo to demonstrate the game, causing the Bakugan game to immediately become popular in the school. In the mysterious person's base by the beach, the masked figure communicates with the intangible Similda in front of a mirror. Similda senses that the Earth's core energy is accumulating within himself and inquires about the masked person's plan's progress. Lou Wanlei encounters the group of bullies again, and as they mock him, his Bakugan card accidentally falls out of his backpack. These bullies, now aware of the Bakugan game, plan to snatch Lou Wanlei's cards. In desperation, Lou Wanlei agrees to compete with them, resulting in the emergence of his Saber-toothed Thunder Tiger. Unexpectedly, Lou Wanlei wins battle after battle, consistently defeating opponents' Bakugan. According to the rules, he wins all their cards, garnering the admiration of those who used to bully him. Lou Wanlei feels elated. Ayu often enjoys battling others with Bakugan, but he always loses and has to rely on Zhou Yihuo for retribution. Zhou Yihuo, holding Bakugan cards he obtained from Dr. Nan, seems unbeatable, making him a challenge target for many kids and further winning Ayu's admiration, who passionately follows him. Once, Long Lingyin observes Lou Wanlei battling and realizes that cards can grant life and strength to Bakugan toys. She then attempts to nurture her own Bakugan warrior, resulting in the birth of her Sound Dragon Anyu. Long Lingyin finally finds her grandfather, Professor Long, in a university laboratory. The professor is studying recent bizarre phenomena—the energy from the Earth's core is gradually depleting, causing the environment to worsen, puzzling Professor Long. Long Lingyin immediately showcases her nurtured Sound Dragon Anyu to her grandfather, who discovers that Bakugan cards possess six different attribute powers corresponding to six distinct attributes on Earth: wind, fire, water, earth, thunder, and sound, believing that the environment's deterioration is somehow linked to Bakugan cards. Similda senses that a force of justice is curtailing his plundering of core energy and demands the masked person find out who is using this justice force, instructing him to eliminate the perpetrator as soon as possible, indicating the location is likely around Beibu City. The masked person again seeks out Lou Wanlei, asking him to go to Beibu City to find Bakugan experts while giving him two more dark-attribute Bakugan cards. Long Lingyin transfers to Zhou Yihuo's school, hearing he is a well-known Bakugan boy and discovering through interaction that Zhou Yihuo is reckless and self-centered due to not encountering strong opponents, engendering some distaste for him as she perceives him as an arrogant bully eager to show off. Ayu inadvertently discovers that Long Lingyin's Bakugan is quite special, with different attributes from everyone else's. He persistently pesters Long Lingyin for a battle, and reluctantly, Long Lingyin agrees, resulting in a dismal defeat for Ayu. He then seeks out Zhou Yihuo to challenge Long Lingyin and win her Bakugan cards and Bakugan. At this point, Zhou Yihuo is struggling with his Bakugan obsession, declining in grades, and doing his homework at home while his parents forbid him from going out to play. Ayu can only wait helplessly. Ruan Wei Shui encounters a thief; while chasing, she mistakes Lou Wanlei, who helps her catch the thief, as the thief. They argue, but the misunderstanding clears up. Lou Wanlei learns from Ruan Wei Shui that Zhou Yihuo is a somewhat famous Bakugan expert and prepares to challenge him. Ruan Wei Shui is curious about Lou Wanlei's Bakugan and pesters him to teach her how to use Bakugan. Lou Wanlei reluctantly lends her a Bakugan card, and they test their skills. At this moment, the intangible Similda feels his dark energy involved in a battle, becoming highly irritated. Ruan Wei Shui enjoys the battles between Bakugan and refuses to return Lou Wanlei's cards and Bakugan. Lou Wanlei, helpless, finds Ruan Wei Shui sensible, resolving his living conditions by arranging for him to stay at the hotel run by her family. Lou Wanlei learns from Ruan Wei Shui about several Bakugan experts in Beibu City and seeks out each one to challenge them. Utilizing his command and experience, aided by the power of his dark Bakugan cards, he defeats all his opponents. Ruan Wei Shui selectively challenges weaker opponents and collects a good number of Bakugan. She especially enjoys collecting various Bakugan, dismissing Bakugan cards and frequently asking Lou Wanlei to give her the Bakugan he wins. Zhou Yihuo studies hard and finally passes his exams, and his parents loosen their restrictions, causing him to eagerly find Ayu to seek out Bakugan challenges. The masked person secretly follows Lou Wanlei, observing his battles while realizing Ruan Wei Shui is also an exceptionally promising Bakugan warrior, deciding to exploit her potential. Lou Wanlei's defeated opponents approach Zhou Yihuo, claiming they have never seen Lou Wanlei's Bakugan and cards before, and when battling, his abilities could absorb opponents' energy. Long Lingyin also notices the worsening environment in Beibu City, with plants gradually wilting, and finds her grandfather. After some study, Professor Long concludes that the cards originate from two powers in the cosmic center—one appearing very evil. This power has reached Earth and is gradually absorbing the energy from the Earth's core. Long Lingyin informs the professor about Lou Wanlei's battles, prompting him to instruct her to observe the conditions during Lou Wanlei's battles. Long Lingyin decides to battle Lou Wanlei herself to collect data. Zhou Yihuo eagerly prepares for challenges against powerful opponents, devising tactics and strategies to defeat Lou Wanlei at once. However, he discovers Long Lingyin has also taken the initiative to battle Lou Wanlei, leading to a quarrel over who will fight Lou Wanlei first. Eventually, they decide on Ruan Wei Shui battling Long Lingyin while Zhou Yihuo faces Lou Wanlei. Ruan Wei Shui loses to Long Lingyin due to lack of preparation. During the battle, Long Lingyin realizes the energy hasn't vanished; instead, the energy of Ruan's dark-attribute cards has transferred to her own cards, prompting her to record all data on her computer immediately. The match between Lou Wanlei and Zhou Yihuo begins, attracting many spectators. However, only Long Lingyin and Ruan Wei Shui are allowed to enter the parallel space to watch. Both sides utilize three different cards for combat, and due to both being strong, the matchup is evenly matched. Meanwhile, the masked person observes from afar, noticing Zhou Yihuo’s cards and Bakugan are unusual, feeling they've been seen before. At the final moment, both parties' energies peak, and the parallel space suddenly transports all four to the cosmic core, demonstrating a history of the conflict between the two powers. It turns out Bakugan cards are fragments of six sealing powers that imprison the greatest evil in the Titan Universe, Similda. The six fragments represent the attributes: fire, earth, sound, thunder, water, and wind. At the center of the Titan Universe lie two opposing energy cores: The six sealing elements belong to the "Infinite Core," encompassing all positive energies, while the dark power Similda belongs to the "Counter Core," containing all negative energy. Throughout history, these two forces continuously battled, maintaining balance within the Bakugan Titan Universe. Long Lingyin urges Zhou Yihuo to withdraw from the competition. However, Zhou, distracted by Long’s interference, loses, causing the energy on the cards to vanish and allowing Lou Wanlei to win all the Bakugan. Infuriated, Zhou Yihuo part ways with Long Lingyin but feels wronged and decides to challenge Lou Wanlei again three days later. With Long Lingyin's assistance, Professor Long discovers that in Zhou Yihuo and Lou Wanlei's battle, when Lou Wanlei's dark-attribute card wins Zhou Yihuo's card's energy, the corresponding attribute energy on Earth diminishes, gradually weakening the core's energy as well. Realizing the severity of the situation, he actively seeks solutions. Long Lingyin learns of her grandfather's research and informs Zhou Yihuo of the truth. Zhou Yihuo remains skeptical but demands Long Lingyin lend him her cards and Bakugan to battle Lou Wanlei again, which Long Lingyin declines. Zhou Yihuo must start over again, recollecting cards and Bakugan, but with limited success. Ayu has a light bulb moment, secretly steals Ruan Wei Shui's cards and Bakugan, and hands them to Zhou Yihuo. However, Zhou reprimands him, leading to unhappiness between the two. Zhou Yihuo sees slim chances of victory but deals with the challenge book; moreover, with no opponents for Lou Wanlei in Beibu City, all his friends place their hopes on him, increasing his pressure. Long Lingyin is disappointed by the crowd's indifference to the Earth's environment, and driven by her sentiments, she tries to stop Bakugan matches wherever they occur, only to be laughed at. At one point, when she is mocked by a group of bad kids, Zhou Yihuo comes to her rescue. They arrive at the beach, awaiting the arrival of their dolphin friend, but KIMMY's absence feels strange. Long Lingyin reveals to Zhou Yihuo how Bakugan battles impact the Earth's environment, and Zhou hands Long Lingyin Dr. Nan’s notebook. They believe that they can stop the environmental deterioration by defeating Lou Wanlei, thus they actively prepare for the final showdown with him. After discussions and demonstrations, they conceive a new strategy, but they need new cards and new partners to have a chance at victory. They resolve to join forces to combat Lou Wanlei. Professor Long develops several mysterious weapons to counteract the dark forces, equipping Zhou Yihuo and Long Lingyin with wristbands that read the opponents’ card information and waist bags to store cards and Bakugan. Long Lingyin and Zhou Yihuo inform Professor Long about their discussions. In the professor's lab, they rehearse their plans through the computer, realizing significant benefits, which boosts Zhou's confidence. The masked person reports Lou Wanlei's victories to Similda, who is pleased. However, on this moonlit night, interference disrupts the brainwave communication between Similda and the masked person, making the masked person briefly question his identity, recalling familiarity with the beach in Beibu City but unable to remember when he had been there. Zhou Yihuo and Long Lingyin's initial coordination in the competition feels awkward, leading them to find two youths for a friendly match. Zhou, accustomed to solo battles, is impulsive and disregards orders, complicating their cooperative battle. Ayu, on the sidelines, feels anxious and becomes a fence-sitter, wavering between the two parties. Ayu finds information online about an upcoming Bakugan expert transferring to their school, along with details about several mysterious cards he possesses. The foreign figure Jiang Yafeng returns to Beibu City. Zhou Yihuo plans to leverage Jiang Yafeng’s strength to defeat Lou Wanlei, yet Jiang Yafeng arrogantly disregards Zhou's suggestions, resulting in a bitter parting. Following Similda's orders, the masked person begins gathering six sacred seals worldwide, intending to destroy the justice of the Infinite Core. Their dialogue is overheard by the masked person's henchman, Artu, who stealthily takes the fire and thunder attribute sacred seals that the masked person has already acquired and confides this secret to Long Lingyin and others. Realizing the sacred seals have gone missing, the masked person decides to host a national Bakugan tournament. The aim is to gather vast amounts of Earth's core energy for Similda while collecting the six sacred seals to obliterate the forces of justice. With friends' help, Zhou Yihuo regains his spirits. However, to save Earth, their only chance hinges on defeating the national rivals, collecting the six sacred seals, restoring the six elemental powers of justice, and vanquishing Similda and the masked person. Yet time is tight, with earthy energy vanishing rapidly. Zhou Yihuo and his associates must strategically defeat the masked person's two powerful Bakugan fighters, Jiang Yafeng and Ruan Wei Shui, to complete this near-impossible task. However, their strategic disagreements lead to continuous disputes. Professor Long develops many secret weapons to aid Zhou Yihuo and Long Lingyin in their Bakugan battles, simultaneously drawing support from a mysterious figure, providing various usable Bakugan cards and Bakugan. With an energized boost, the three power through to the finals, yet the other four sacred seals remain unaccounted for, causing anxiety among the trio. Similda gradually takes shape; his plan to destroy Earth unfolds methodically. The top ten in the nation are set for the ultimate confrontation. The masked person's two formidable subordinates advance smoothly—Ruan Wei Shui and Jiang Yafeng—who, manipulated by the masked person in their matches against Zhou Yihuo and others, turn into bitter enemies. To reconcile the two, Zhou Yihuo sacrificially steps back in the last moments of the final match, ensuring the two emerge victorious. This unusual gesture enlightens Ruan Wei Shui and Jiang Yafeng about Zhou Yihuo's intentions, prompting them to join his Earth-saving team. The masked person, infuriated, unjustly punishes Jiang Yafeng, and just as Jiang and Ruan are about to be vaporized into parallel space, Zhou Yihuo and Long Lingyin intervene, rescuing them. However, Zhou Yihuo and Lou Wanlei's sacred seals are destroyed in the process. The next day marks the Bakugan finals, while Similda has gathered sufficient energy for an assault on the Earth’s core, set to absorb its energy and obliterate the planet. Yet Zhou Yihuo and his team possess no trump cards. At this instant, the mysterious benefactor grants the seals of sound, earth, and water to Zhou Yihuo and his friends. It turns out this benefactor is Dr. Nan, who, through numerous Bakugan battles across parallel spaces, has uncovered Similda's conspiracy, gradually regaining his conscience, striving to break free from Similda's control. He can only restore his identity and assist Zhou Yihuo when Similda’s control weakens during the full moon. The finals commence. Zhou Yihuo's team enters the fray with renewed confidence. Ultimately, Zhou Yihuo prevails, combining the three sacred seals, summoning the remaining three, leading to the full unveiling of the six sacred seals. Similda, now fully formed, discards Dr. Nan and charges toward the Earth's core to absorb all its energy in one go. Zhou Yihuo, Long Lingyin, Jiang Yafeng, and three other children utilize the six sacred seals alongside their cards and Bakugan to confront Similda. The opposing battle intensifies, as Similda's formidable force overpowers the six children, causing them to gradually succumb. Zhou Yihuo suddenly recalls the mysterious individual’s warning about Similda being weakest during the full moon. They devise a scheme to prolong the battle until deep into the night. At precisely midnight, as the moon shines down, a pair of children reassemble the six sacred seals. In Similda's moment of weakness, they finally defeat him, rejuvenating the Earth's core energy back into the core, restoring Earth to its former beauty. The six children forge deep friendships through this adventure, sincerely understanding that errors made inadvertently are not fearsome but must be rectified. Furthermore, this unexpected battle deepens their love for this blue planet.
