The Rave Master Shiba and his guardian "dog", Plue, use the sacred Rave stones to destroy the evil power-granting Shadow Stones. However, Shiba fails to completely destroy the final Shadow Stone, and the resulting explosion known as Overdrive obliterates one tenth of the world and scatters the Rave stones. Fifty years later, Plue accompanies a new Rave Master named Haru Glory, who is separated from Plue in Hip Hop Town. Plue is found by a girl named Elie before being abducted by a member of the criminal organization Shadow Guard and forced into a deadly dog race. Haru and Elie rescue Plue, but they are attacked by the track manager, Georco, who uses a Shadow Stone that turns his body into smoke. Haru defeats Georco by shattering his Shadow Stone with his Rave-powered sword, the Decaforce Sword, and flees with Plue and Elie on a carriage pulled by the freed racing dogs.
