00:18When darkness is born and black dread spreads with fright,
00:23the saviour we seek shall respond to our cries.
00:27A stride a white dragon, they'll take to the skies.
00:34Then blight will recede and the light will live on,
00:40with the rider of monsters and champion of bots.
01:02Who are riders?
01:05Riders of monsters.
01:07People who form bonds with monsters raise them and live together with them.
01:11They live in remote villages, so their existence remains unknown to most of the world.
01:19Hunters who live by hunting monsters.
01:23Riders who live by fostering monsters.
01:28Though their lifestyles differ, riders are another part of the natural world.
01:34When strange phenomena occur, riders will surely come to aid.
01:41They possess kinship stones, said to hold a mysterious power.
01:47Through kinship stones, riders form bonds with monsters,
01:51forging a deep mutual understanding.
01:55The strength of this bond lets riders climb walls, cross oceans,
01:59and even fly through the sky, all from the back of a monster.
02:07When situations grow difficult, riders stand together with their monsters.
02:13Taking action together heightens the radiant glow of the kinship stone.
02:23This glow reflects the rider and the monster's kinship.
02:28Upon reaching its zenith, they perform a powerful kinship skill to turn the tide of battle!
02:47A special rider technique may awaken new powers within a monster.
02:52The right of channeling.
02:56By channeling genes, monsters may inherit skills and powers they cannot normally possess.
03:05In one particular region, some riders identify as rangers.
03:12They focus on protecting monsters and the natural ecosystem.
03:19These rangers collect eggs of species near extinction and hatch them,
03:25returning them to the wild in a practice called habitat restoration.
03:30Through habitat restoration and the right of channeling,
03:36riders and monsters gain greater strength,
03:39allowing them to fight as one against even the mightiest foes.
03:49There are stories throughout history of riders who stood against strange phenomena threatening this world.
03:59Riders bound in kinship with Raffalos, their loyal Palico at their side.
04:24The first tale began with a simple children's game.
04:30Their pretend rite of emergence led to the hatching of a real Raffalos.
04:38However, their budding hopes were dashed by the sudden onset of the black blight, leaving
04:47deep scars on their hearts.
04:52In a single night, the carefree lives they had known were gone, turned upside down as
04:59the black blight began to consume the world.
05:05Following the path of the first rider, young riders and hunters delved into the mystery
05:10of kinship stones, learning their destinies.
05:16Armed with the truth of kinship and their unwavering bonds, they stood against the black blight.
05:30There is, in fact, yet another story of riders and kinship.
05:39On the eve of an island festival, a red light flashed through the sky.
05:45Suddenly, Raffalos disappeared from the world.
05:51Then, a rider set out on a journey, driven by the legacy of their grandfather, Red.
05:58Their fate became intertwined with a loyal palico and a Wyverian girl.
06:06The girl passed along Red's kinship stone to the rider, along with a Raffalos egg.
06:16As they traveled together to learn more about the red light and the rage-raid phenomenon,
06:22the egg finally hatched.
06:29However, the Raffalos born from it bore stunted wings not large enough to take flight.
06:36Its appearance matched that of a Raffalos fabled to bring ruin.
06:44Those stunted wings, when opened, were said to bring the world to destruction.
06:50The Raffalos, meeting this legendary Raffalos, altered the rider's path forever.
06:59Spurred by their bond with Raffa, they discovered the truth behind the rage-raid phenomenon and
07:06the disappearance of the Raffalos.
07:18Now, in our world, the crystal encroachment threatens to destroy nature itself, even as the cause remains unknown.
07:34Ten years ago, an egg was found, that of a Raffalos, thought to have been extinct.
07:43However, born from the egg were twin Skyscale Raffalos.
07:49Their blue scales were a portent of disaster, a tale two centuries old.
07:58A land on the brink of destruction.
08:04Monsters in danger of extinction.
08:10And the riders trying to protect them all.
08:17In this turbulent world, a new story begins.
08:24Another story of a rider, bound in kinship with a Raffalos.
08:29Their loyal palico at their side.
08:39Now, it's time to ride on!
