Tai Chi Chasers

The Tai Chi Chasers attempt to recover a Tai Chi card from the ocean.

A boy named Rai remembers it is his mom's birthday, and decides to go to the city to find her something. While in town, he is challenged by an old foe and finally forced into the card stacking competition. There he first encounters the first Tigeroid, or Tai Chi Chaser, Tori. Tori has to leave the competition and by default Rai wins. Rai is walking home with the prize money when he discovers a box in an antique store. He rushes home to show her and encounters his first Dragonoid adversary, Luka. In an odd series of events Rai's home is demolished and Mother has mysteriously disappeared. Rai becomes hysterical, and the Tigeroids use the "sleep" character to knock him out. And so his adventure begins.
