==Information==

Dan Kouzo is a member of the [[Awesome Ones]], a group of kids living in [[Los Volmos]] who make videos for the video site ViewTube. The other members include [[Wynton Styles]], [[Lia Venegas]], and [[Lightning]] the dog. Twelve years after the [[Great Collision]], the Awesome Ones sneak into a restricted area of [[Pinpoint Park]], in order to film a video for their ViewTube channel on the twelve-year anniversary of the Great Collision, in a crater caused by the Collision. While the group throws a surprise announcement for Dan's birthday, the second Great Collision occurs, causing the group to experience the [[Hide Matrix]] for the first time. Dan meets [[Dragonoid (Battle Planet)|Drago]], his new Bakugan partner.<ref>''[[Origin of Species Part 1]]''</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' Skorporos, 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>

While this is occurring, [[Benton Dusk]] watches, and decides to cause a weather satellite to plummet towards Los Volmos. Back in their clubhouse, the Awesome Ones watch [[Veronica Venegas]] as she reports on the incoming satellite. While Wynton and Lia scramble to grab what they can before evacuate, Dan formulates a plan: if they could get their Bakugan back, they could destroy the satellite and repair Los Volmos' perceptions towards Bakugan. The team stops Kravitz on her way out of Los Volmos, demanding their Bakugan back. Kravitz declines, but as she walks past the Awesome Ones, her device that forces Bakugan out of their ball forms is knocked from her person, falling and activating the Bakugan in the cases. The Bakugan break free, and Kravitz escapes. Drago breaks the device, and the group begins to help civilians around the city, with Dan and Drago destroying the satellite using [[Twisting Inferno]]. After seeing this, the citizens of Los Volmos, including Dan's parents, tear up their anti-Bakugan fliers, and return to accepting Bakugan.<ref>''[[Local Heroes]]''</ref>

Later, the team is driven to the location of the brawl: a giant stone room in the middle of a desert, and are greeted by China and Jenkins. After seeing Lia loses Gorthion to China, Dan and Wynton step up to challenge China, offering their own Bakugan up in return for Gorthion. Despite their best efforts, Drago and Trox are still surprised by the movable arena. However, with the help of Lia and Pegatrix, they are able to locate BakuCores. With the combined effort of Drago, Trox, and Pegatrix, the Awesome Ones easily beat Maxotaur, and Gorthion is returned to Lia. However, China refuses to hand over Maxotaur, and escapes with Jenkins on a helicopter.<ref>''[[Pegatrix (episode)|Pegatrix]]''</ref>

Dan is approached by [[Bobby]] in order to help track down his missing Bakugan, [[Bear]]. The Awesome Ones discover that Bear has been stolen and brainwashed by [[Strata the Hunter]]. Dan and the rest of the Awesome ones manage to destroy the device controlling Bear, freeing him.<ref>''[[Strata's Fear]]''</ref>

[[Veronica Venegas]] approaches the Awesome Ones, asking if they could do a story about their Bakugan. Dan agrees, but each of the attempts to cover something is botched by [[Strata]] in order to make Dan look good. Because of this, the other members of the Awesome Ones become annoyed with Dan. This hubris causes Dan and the other AO to become distracted during a brawl with the [[Exit Team]]. In the aftermath of the brawl, Hydorous is captured by Strata, but is later freed by Dan and Drago after the Awesome Ones reconcile.<ref>''[[In Focus]]''</ref>
