==Plot==
On his way home from school, high school student Jake Reijnders encounters an extraordinary, fox-like companion named Fennember, created by the innovative corporation RaveTech. Fennember reveals that it was designed to interact with magical entities known as Dance Stones, which originated from the Dance World. RaveTech, having received consent from Jake's parents, has sent Fennember to join Jake's household for a unique research project.
Meanwhile, Jake's close friend, Tyler Cameron, a member of the school's track team with dreams of Olympic gold, faces a plateau in improving his running times. While practicing by the river, Tyler stumbles upon a strange stone. In his longing to run faster, he unknowingly activates the stone, which emits a mysterious light. This stone is a Dance Stone, imbued with extraordinary powers.
During a physical education class at school, Tyler, now possessed by the power of the Dance Stone, astounds everyone by performing an incredibly fast moonwalk while running a relay race. Realizing that Tyler is under the influence of a Dance Stone, Jake is determined to help his friend.
Fennember proposes a solution: by merging with Jake, they can transform into the dance hero, Flash Beat. Reluctantly agreeing, Jake undergoes a stunning transformation. As Flash Beat, he unleashes a spectacular dance performance, using the power of dance to free Tyler from the Dance Stone's grip.
This episode marks the beginning of Jake's journey as Flash Beat, balancing his high school life with the newfound responsibility of collecting Dance Stones and preventing their chaotic influence on the human world. With Fennember by his side, Jake steps onto a path filled with rhythm, challenges, and the quest to understand the true essence of dance and heroism.
