Max Taylor, son of the paleontologist Spike Taylor falls out of bed early one morning and witnesses a meteor fall from the sky, setting out with his friends, Rex Owen and Zoe Drake, into the forest where the meteor crashed. There they find the Lightning, Wind and Grass Stone Tablets. Chomp, a Triceratops, is accidentally activated when Max rubs its card on the Lightning Stone. The D-Team meet their new enemies, the Alpha Gang, when they come to catch Chomp using Terry, their Tyrannosaurus. After this, Max and Chomp become good friends, Rex and Zoe find their own dinosaurs (respectively Ace the Carnotaurus and Paris the Parasaurolophus), and the D-Team, along with Dr. Taylor and his assistant Reese Drake, now have the mission of saving the dinosaurs appearing all over the world from being captured by the Alpha Gang for their nefarious schemes.
