Valt, a wonder deer and his five friends, go on adventures as they journey to obtain special powers granted by the Five Magical Elements, as well as rescue his trapped parents, the Deer King and Queen, from the evil overlords of the Land of Metal.
On his tenth birthday, Valt and his best friend Cobalt are attacked by the same taotie monster who kidnapped his parents years before. He escapes and meets Kem, a kindly taotie sent by his parents to be his guide from the Land of Metal and help him master his elemental powers.
Kem tells Valt about the portals taotie use to travel to between lands. Valt's curiosity to find a portal leads to Cobalt being captured by Mungo.
Valt and his friends gather rare Mo Mang Lo fruit to eat at a harvest festival, but when Kem eats it he goes crazy for the stuff becoming disoriented and hostile.
Valt receives a message from his parents and tries to figure out what it means.
Valt and his friends meet Trika the Healer, Valt's guide from the Land of Earth. She helps Cobalt with his wish to become stronger by giving him a healing herb that makes him bigger but also goofier.
Valt learns about a special rainbow the Mo Lin fish use to migrate to the Land of Water. A stray fish gets left behind so he and his friends try to return her to the rainbow. They end up meeting Yark, Valt's guide from the Land of Water, who helps them when Mungo attacks.
Valt and his friends search an ancient shrine for a magic map of the Five Lands Road. Trika and Yark compete to see who can find the map first.
Valt and his friends meet Alia, his guide from the Land of Fire, who offers to use her powers to teleport Valt to the other side of the wall surrounding the Land of Metal.
A solar flare causes Alia's flame to separate from her body leaving her cold and weak while her flame wreaks havoc in the Land of Wood.
Kem starts to feel useless when he realizes he has no special powers to teach Valt like the other guides. Meanwhile, Da-Ming fires Mungo and decides to go after Valt himself.
Valt and his friends plan to take a shortcut across the Land of Earth by taking a bridge over a massive canyon, but the bridge turns out to be a trap.
Yark can't take being in the desert heat much longer without water, so Cobalt comes up with a plan to get them to the next city faster.
The group comes to a city supposedly inhabited by ghosts. This seems to be true when all of Valt's friends start disappearing.
Led by a magic firefly named Lina, Valt and Trika explore a cave to find more water.
Yark's fur is shedding so Trika leads the group to a secret oasis with a flower that can restore it.
The ruins of an ancient kingdom contain a prophecy for Valt to find, but first he must get past the dragon cursed to destroy anyone who enters the city.
Valt is unable to drink the water from the Crescent Moon Lake so he, Cobalt, and Trika, with help from Trika's uncle, travel to the bottom of the lake to find a chalice to help him drink.
Valt travels to Rainbow Mountain alone to retrieve the stolen chalice. He runs into a figure called Dark Warrior who wants Valt to join him in conquering Da-Ming. When he refuses, Dark Warrior takes away Valt's powers.
The gang travels to Trika's home village to ask for her grandmother's help in restoring Valt's powers only to find that the village has been taken over by Dark Warrior.
Valt and his friends travel to the Fortress of the Dark Warrior to reclaim the chalice and regain his powers once and for all.
A giant wall of flames prevents the group from entering the Fire Bird Village, and the only way to get through is with the power of a Sun Gem.
Alia takes Trika on a girls day out when they are interrupted by a trio of birds led by Jia who wants to leave Alia out of it.
Yark accidentally extinguishes the sacred fire of the Jing Ling village with his ice breath, so Valt and the others search for a dragon to re-light the flame.
Valt tries to make Alia feel better after her feathers fall out while the others go on a hunt for a thousand-year-old egg.
Alia and Cobalt venture into a volcano to find a sun gem. When Da Ming causes the volcano to erupt, Alia risks her life to retrieve it.
Valt is given a magic crystal that enhances his teleporting powers enough to take him all the way to the Land of Metal where he tries to rescue his parents.
Da Ming gives Mungo an elixir that disguises him as Kem so that he can sneak into the Land of Fire and hack the map.
Valt and Alia take to the sky to retrieve a Sun Gem on a floating island inhabited by snow eagles.
Jia teams up with Mungo to lure Alia into a trap when Alia tries to teach Trika how to swim.
Valt's parents, Urgon and Reyna, re-tell the story of how they were captured and betrayed to Mungo.
Valt and friends enter the Land of Water where they realize there has been a drought and that Valt is wanted by the locals.
A snow monkey named Norba asks Valt and his friends to obtain two items for her in exchange for water. Meanwhile, Mungo teams up with Ming Ling to capture Valt.
Yark encounters other yaks for the first time when he discovers a village of them and learns how they normally live.
Da-Ming tries to use a spirit portal to enter Valt's mind, but accidentally enters the minds of his friends instead.
Valt and friends are captured and taken to the snow monkey village led by Princess Mirka. The village's sacred treasure causes Valt to feel uneasy and see things. The treasure turns out to be Valanteen, the girl wonder deer.
Valanteen refuses to teach Valt her Land of Water powers due to him being the cause of the drought, but when Mirka gets captured by Mungo she has no choice but to ask him for help.
Cobalt gets annoyed when Valt chooses Valanteen's training style over his giving Da Ming a plan to turn Cobalt against his friend.
Da Ming explains the story of his wife and how he's doing this to protect his son in an attempt to get Urgon and Reyna to cooperate and give him more power.
Cobalt and Mirka accidentally portal themselves to the Land of Metal where they learn that Da Ming is sending an Ice Dragon to capture Valt and Valanteen. They return to warn them but are too late.
Kem explains that the only way to defeat the dragon is with a storm more powerful than it. Valanteen shares her Land of Water powers with Valt allowing him to defeat the dragon before heading to the Land of Metal just as Queen Drusilla awakens.
Taotie Queen Drusilla awakens and takes control over conquering the Five Lands from Da Ming. Valt and Valanteen search the castle to find his parents and escape. His friends build a hot air balloon to meet up with him.
Valt meets Zuo, a taotie who is part of a resistance against Da Ming who convinces him to compete in a race against a roughneck taotie named Url in order to get food for his parents.
Da Ming goes undercover in order to search the city for his missing son, Prince Mek. He runs into Valt and Valanteen and tries to capture them.
Kem competes in a brawl event at the castle arena when Zuo is taken by Drusilla who shows an interest in him.
Drusilla uses the spirit portal on Valanteen to lure Valt into a trap, but this causes Valanteen to be taken over by her dark metal powers.
The group plans to send Valt's parents back to the Land of Wood using Mungo's portal belt so they set up a distraction for him. Meanwhile, Kem goes to the castle following a lead about his parents being there.
Kem and Trika go into Kem's mind to learn about his past as Prince Mek. Meanwhile, Drusilla drains enough magic power out of Valanteen to make her powerful iron deer fully functional.
The gang performs a raid on the castle to shut off an orb that's blocking the use of powers in the castle. Valt tries to save Valanteen from Drusilla, Cobalt and Yark face off with Da Ming and Mungo, and Alia goes one-on-one with Jia.
Zuo leads Valt to ask the taotie resistance for help, only to find out that it's a trap. Meanwhile, Da Ming gives Kem the opportunity to live as a king and rule the Land of Metal for a day to convince him to join his side.
Drusilla drains Valt of his power to power up the Iron Deer so Cobalt and Yark plan an inside job to save him.
Valt calls upon the Nine Colored Deer to ask for help in unlocking his Land of Metal power when Drusilla attacks him with the Iron Deer. With Kem's Help he's able to take her powers away.
The final battle for the Five Lands had begun! Realizing he can't win alone, Valt calls upon all his friends and allies to assist in the fight. In the middle of battle Valt unlocks his metal power and becomes a fully powered Wonder Deer able to defeat the king and Queen and restore balance to the Five Lands. Valt is named King of the Land of Wood and Kem is named King of the Land of Metal.
