→Bakugan Battle Planet
The Awesome Ones continue training with their Bakugan, to the point of exhaustion. As the other rest, Dan is persuaded by Drago to pick up food for the team at a local [[Burger Joint]]. He and Drago debate brawling possibilities when they encounter a mysterious Bakugan and its brawler robbing the Burger Joint. These turn out to be [[Aay]] and his [[Ventus]] [[Mantonoid]]. By starting a brawl with this brawler to defend the Burger Joint, Dan discovers the [[Drome]]. Using a move that Wynton and Trox used earlier, Dan and Drago defeat Aay, receiving their meals for free in compensation. The two return to the [[Awesome Ones' Studio]], where they collapse, exhausted from the brawl.<ref>''[[Burger Run]]''</ref>
After another intensive day of training, Dan and Drago are confronted by Wynton and Lia about the damage they caused while training. This scolding frustrates Dan, who takes Drago goes walking around Los Volmos. They encounter three [[Skorporos]]es and their brawlers the [[Rowdy Reds]]: [[Mac]], [[Max]], and [[Maggie]]. Dan sees that these three young children, while playing in the park with their Bakugan, are also causing a large amount of destruction. Dan attempts to teach the Rowdy Reds how to safely use their Bakugan, and later meets up with Wynton and Lia at the Burger Joint. Dan apologies for the destruction he caused, and tells them about how he taught the Rowdy Reds about safely using their Bakugan. However, it is revealed on a television broadcast by [[Veronica Venegas]] that the lesson had no effect on the Rowdy Reds, and the team is causing destruction with there Bakugan in a new area called [[Costero Canyada]]. Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones head to Costero Canyada, where he challenges all three of the Rowdy Reds to a brawl by himself. The brawl ends after Drago incapacitates the Rowdy Reds' SkorporosesSkorporos, and the Awesome Ones convince them that brawling further will only bring more destruction. After explaining to the Rowdy Reds that the Drome reverses the damage that was done inside of it after it falls, Dan and the rest of the Awesome Ones help rebuild Costero Canyada.<ref>''[[Monkey See, Monkey Don't]]''</ref>
Dan continues to brag about his accomplishments, boasting about beating Aay and teaching the Rowdy Reds to the other members of the Awesome Ones. He claims to the new boss of the Awesome Ones, until he is interrupted by [[Mac]] and [[Maggie]] from the Rowdy Reds. They ask for the group's help in taking back their park, which Lia and Wynton goad Dan into doing by himself. Dan, the rest of the Awesome Ones, and the two members of the Rowdy Reds return to the park, finding it transformed to Marco's image, and the entrance guarded by [[Max]]. Once at the park, Dan challenges Marco to a brawl, where Marco uses underhanded tactics against him, such as preventing his Bakugan from rolling over the initial BakuCore, or attacking Dan directly. Dan runs out of the park to retrieve Drago, and finds him in a nest of young birds. While Dan and Drago are away, Marco orders Cyndeous to attack the remaining brawlers, which cause Cyndeous to fly in to a fit of rage at the cruelty of the order, and start attacking in random directions. One of the attacks is headed for Mac and Maggie, but Dan activates Drago and shields them from the blast. After Trox and Gorthion knock Cyndeous off of Drago, Drago counterattacks against Cyndeous' shield. As Cyndeous snaps out of his rage, he directly tells Marco that he will no longer be obeying his cowardly orders, which Dan and the others overhear. Seeing that Cyndeous is no longer fighting back, Dan calls the brawl over, much to Marco's dismay. Seeing Marco's yelling and rage, Dan reflects on how he had treated his friends earlier that day. Seeing the similarities to how he acted, and Marco's currently actions, Dan pushes Marco over, and ending the brawl. Later that day, after the brawl concludes, Max apologies to Mac and Maggie for his actions, which they accept. Cyndeous, seeing Dan's honorable actions during the brawl, asks Dan if he could become one of his Bakugan, which Dan accepts.<ref>''[[Bully for You]]''</ref>
