Reiji Oozora is a terribly unmotivated high school student. However, when his friend Maiko Yukino introduces him to a virtual reality game known as Dragon Drive, Reiji finally finds the motivation to do something. Sadly, this motivation is dwindled when Reiji receives a dragon so weak that it doesn't even register. He names the dragon Chibi, and when he's forced into a battle with Daisuke Hagiwara, a boy infatuated with Maiko, Reiji will discover that there is more to Chibi than meets than eye!
