Volume 1

 * Hunter is first seen on a boat with its captain, Travers.
 * Once he arrives at his destination, Hunter visits the local hotel on Vivosaur Island, where the manager gives him instructions on how to control dinosaurs.
 * Soon after the manager finishes delivering her instructions, she sends Hunter to a trial Dig Site for first-hand practice. Once he completes the required training, he gains access to his first official Dig Site, the Greenhorn Plains. Upon arriving at said location, a man called Medal-Dealer Joe steals everyone's Dino Medals.
 * Hunter encounters a young girl named Rosie, whose medals have also been stolen (she described the police captain two medals, one of Lambeosaurus, and the other of Edmontosaurus). She informs him that his medals are still safe and that he must fight the criminal in a Fossil Battle.
 * A victory results in Medal-Dealer Joe being arrested, and everyone's Dino Medals being returned safely.
 * Rosie takes interest in Hunter and decides to accompany him on his journey.
 * Once the duo returns to the Island, it is announced that Level-Up Battles have begun.
 * Both Rosie and Hunter successfully complete their battles, bringing them one step closer to becoming a Master.
 * Soon after they level up, a new Dig Site, known as Knotwood Forest, becomes available. This particular location is home to a tribe called the Digadigs. They plea that Hunter must defend their treasures from the wretched BB Bandits.
 * When investigating the Digadigmid, Hunter encounters a woman by the name of Nevada Montecarlo.
 * The two later team up and take on Vivian, the leader of the BB Bandit Trio.
 * In the meantime, Rosie becomes cursed and is only able to speak in a similar manner to those of the Digadigs.
 * Once the villains flee and peace is restored, Nevada and the Hunter, who found a mysterious but tacky idol, part ways. He and Rosie then head back to the Island to compete in their second Level-Up Battle, in which both emerge victoriously.
 * Hunter then visits the Rivet Ravine site where a Fighter's Seminar is taking place.
 * A man named McJunker is trying to fix the mine carts.
 * Hunter brings him his tools from the BB Bandits, and he reveals that Holt is his apprentice.
 * Holt gives Hunter an Electromonite for McJunker after a battle.
 * After the mine carts are fixed Hunter goes deeper into the cave battles the BB Bandits again and finds another idol.
 * After leveling up again, Hunter is now able to visit Bottomsup Bay, with a diving mask. He is tasked with getting a ribbon for a pirate ghost. An eccentric man named Nick Nack has it but he'll only give it for a molted bug shell, a sandal fossil, and dentures of a denture shark in return.
 * The BB bandits try to stop them, but Hunter and Rosie succeed in giving back the ribbon and get yet another idol as a reward.
 * A mysterious girl named Duna appears to be following them.
 * The next day, Rosie is kidnapped. She is taken to the BB Bandits hideout and Hunter is told to bring the three idols he found if he wants Rosie back. After battling Rex, Snivels, and Vivian, the BB Bandits leader is revealed to be Police Chief Bartholomew Bullwort.
 * Hunter succeeds in getting him arrested and saving Rosie. However, Rosie's grandfather, Mr. Richmond, suspects there is something exquisite about the idols and believe the bandits were hired to steal them.
 * After another level-up tournament, Rosie thanks the Hunter for saving him so many times.
 * Dr. Diggins, who has been examining the idols, asks Hunter to go find one more at Mt. Lavaflow.
 * Hunter encounters large lava rocks blocking his path, Duna arrives to get rid of them. After he finds the idol, she strangely tells him to give it to her.
 * Suddenly the heat from the lava disrupts Duna's "holographic transformation technology" revealing herself to be some sort of dinosaur-like alien.
 * After attempting to attack Hunter, Duna gets crushed by a lava rock from an earthquake.
 * Hunter saves her by using his digging tools, much to her confusion.
 * After Duna runs off, Rosie meets up with Hunter, but when they return, they find that Vivosaur Island has been taken over by the BB bandits.
 * Bullwort somehow got his hands on the legendary Vivosaur known as the Frigisaurus. It freezes Hunter and Rosie, and they are put in a jail cell.
 * Rex, Snivels, and Vivian help them escape to Dr. Diggins as they no longer want to take orders from Bullwort.
 * The Chieftain of the Digadigs reveals that the Frigisaurus was rivals with another legendary Vivosaur known as the Ignosaurus.
 * So, Hunter, with the help of Rex find the Ignosaurus fossil at Mt. Lavaflow, but Bullwort uses his Imperva-Ray on it making the fossil indestructible.
 * Duna reverses the effects and the Ignosaurus is soon revived, it defeats the Frigisaurus and Bullwort is arrested.
 * After defeating the champion Fossil Fighter, Saurhead, Duna reveals to Hunter that she is a Dinaurian, an alien race that believes humans were a mistake.
 * The next day, when Hunter and Rosie go to see how her grandfather is doing with the idols, Duna and another Dinaurian named Raptin arrive to take them. They reveal the idols to be Sub-Idolcomps and are going to be used to wipe out the human race!
 * Raptin turns Rosie into a Triconodonta, knocks Hunter out and escapes with Duna.
 * Rosie was able to get Raptin's device that transports people their spaceship.
 * After getting masks from Saurhead, Hunter and Dr. Diggins infiltrate the ship. The two find the Sub-Idolcomps connected to a much larger Idolcomp.
 * Suddenly, someone is coming so they hide, it's Duna and the king of the Dinaurians, Dynal. He reveals that their plan is to use the Idolcomp to revert all humans on Earth to amoebas and start over, the plan is called "Project: Mother Planet".
 * Dynal tells Duna to press the switch, but she refuses, she has come to accept that humans and just as intelligent as Dinaurians.
 * Dynal is furious that she wants the plan shut down as he doesn't see it the same way, so he goes to do it himself but the Hunter jumps in his way and battles him.
 * Despite losing, Dynal manages to press the switch on the main Idolcomp.
 * But Dr. Diggins manages to disconnect a Sub-Idolcomp so it wouldn't work. It also ends up sending him back in time to the Jurassic period, but the Sub-Idolcomp was with him.
 * King Dynal attempts to kill Hunter and Duna but the two teleport to safety.
 * Duna reveals to Mr. Richmond that the plan of Project: Mother Planet is to recreate the Dinaurian home planet. After it was destroyed by the giant and unkillable planet devourer, Guhnash, the Dinaurians searched outer space for a new home. When they found Earth, they used their DNA to create seeds to plant on the planet.
 * However, the seeds took a different evolutionary path: humans.
 * So the Idolcomp was created to monitor the evolutions and regress humans back to amoebas so they can evolve into Dinaurians.
 * But the Sub-Idolcomps got lost in an accident and ended up on Vivosaur Island. They didn't know about human society so they hired the BB Bandits to look for them. They all agree they have to find the Sub-Idolcomp before King Dynal.
 * Rosie is back to normal as the portable regression ray Raptin had was weak, but excitement still triggers the effects.
 * The Sub-Idolcomp got shattered into five fragments while traveling through time, after gathering them all Duna reveals that it's still missing its core processor.
 * Mr. Richmond remembers a secret island that the spaceship was found on, the technologies found inside were used to revive fossils.
 * Richmond and Diggins hid the Secret Island away to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands.
 * When Hunter and Duna enter the dinaurian starship, the latter finds out that the scout ship on the first exhibition to Earth was attacked by Guhnash.
 * In the main control room is a human with the last idol fragment in stone-sleep.
 * Suddenly, Raptin appears and attacks Hunter to get the fragment, but the latter manages to win the battle causing Raptin to exit saying humans are flawed despite Duna's protests.
 * The two revive Dr. Diggins back in the Fossil Center, he found the stone-sleep technology in the old ship.
 * Returning to the Richmond building Mr. Richmond has Rosie and Hunter assemble the Sub-Idolcomp to make sure it's real, he's actually King Dynal!
 * He stuns all of Hunter's friends causing the latter to chase him.
 * Back on the spaceship, Dynal is impressed when he loses another battle against the Hunter.
 * After Duna arrives, Hunter suggests that the humans and Dinaurians could live on the planet together.
 * Raptin, still seeing humans as their mistake, was against the idea and presses the switch, but then the Sub-Idolcomps suddenly speak. They reveal that the seeds the Dinaurians planted actually perished in the ocean and that humans originated from their own planet. They agreed to just watch them grow but the main Idolcomp wanted to destroy them.
 * Since the machine was only built for regression, it sent broadcast signals to Guhnash who didn't have the coordinates of Earth until the Sub-Idolcomps were returned!
 * Both Raptin and Dynal were shocked at this, and they all return to Earth.
 * Rosie suggests many ways the humans help can stop Guhnash but they were all turned down.
 * Dr. Diggins reveals that he found a sample of the monster when he went back in time, Guhnash can only be defeated by taking out its three brains.
 * Dynal sets the teleporter to the mouth of Guhnash, it can only send one additional person for support, Hunter has the option to bring either Rosie or Duna.
 * The two are successful in saving Earth, but the teleporter is interfered by the leaking of energy from Guhnash who is about to explode.
 * So, the two use a portable stone-sleep inducer to turn them both to stone in order to protect themselves and head back to Earth.
 * As soon as he gets back, Hunter is revived but the girl he took with him met with a more unfortunate fate:
 * If Duna was chosen, she turned to stone permanently.
 * If Rosie was chosen, she lost her memories.
 * Either way, the chieftain of the Digadig Tribe comes to help, he claims he had a dream from the Fossil God who told him that Hunter and the girl he took saved the Earth.
 * Hunter performs a hip-shaker dance gathering the power of the land and restores the girl back to normal.
 * Hunter sees what all the characters in the game are doing now.

Frontier

 * The story starts with an incident that is referred to throughout the game. In it, INTERFOL agent Stryker has cornered the brilliant but terribly malicious scientist Dr. Baron von Blackraven in his submarine lair.
 * Since Blackraven has no intention of being arrested quietly, a Fossil Battle ensues, with Stryker winning when his vivosaur defeats Blackraven's corrupted vivosaur with a terribly powerful attack.
 * Just as Stryker prepares to take Blackraven into custody, however, he sees something horrible.
 * Five years later, Stryker becomes the head of the Wardens, an INTERFOL department of Fossil Fighters which travels the world investigating vivosaur activity.
 * Eight teenagers arrive at the Warden HQ in Fossil Park Asia to take the final test to become Wardens themselves, having shown promise in earlier tests. One of the youths, Jura, has held a lifelong dream of joining INTERFOL.
 * After the driving lesson, where Jura also learns how to excavate fossils and jewels, he is called over by Nate, one of their fellow recruits.
 * Nate meddles with some machinery at the HQ's laboratory and releases a small and odd looking vivosaur.
 * The pair chase it down, but the vivosaur runs into a rogue Gorgo.
 * Ignoring Nate's call to back off, Jura battles the Gorgo, but is overwhelmed and only saved by Stryker's timely intervention. After this, the eight recruits are paired up for the final test.
 * Jura's partner is an overweight young man named Roland, and at his suggestion, the two leave Fossil Park Asia to prepare for the test.
