Monster Hunter Stories: Ride On

In a world where humans and monsters coexist, Hunters pursue the monsters, but in a secluded corner of this realm there are Riders who bond with and live alongside the beasts. With their Kizuna Ishi (Bonding Stones) that awaken the latent power within the monsters, Riders conceal their bond with their Otomon, the monsters they have formed a connection with. Ryuto, a young boy residing in the Rider village of Hakum, dreams of becoming the world's greatest Rider. Now twelve years old, he sets out to find his own Otomon before the ceremony in which he will be given his own Kizuna Ishi. Together with his kind-hearted childhood friend Cheval, his inquisitive childhood friend Lilia, and his partner Naville, he journeys deep into the forest and experiences a miraculous encounter with a Rathalos.
