The Series Premiere of HUNTIK begins with a scene of Lok Lambert's dream. We see Lok exactly like Indiana Jones, seeking for treasures.
.. Then we return to Lok's school (Venice Preparation Academy - Venice, Italy). Lok talks to his beautiful classmate Sophie Casterwill and they meet for the first time. Lok Lambert asks Sophie to help him prepare for an upcoming test.
In fact, we see here that Sophie is a bit cold to Lok at first. Lok sees that Sophie likes crosswords and ask her to help him study if he can finish the crossword under 2 minutes.. and he does :-) (I think she begins to like Lok a bit more after that)
At Lok's a bit messy dorm, Sophie crashes an ancient vase which belongs to Lok's father, and things begin changing after that.
The journal of Lok's father - full of sketches and writings, and maybe treasure maps - and a mysterious amulet comes out of the vase, and the two tries to figure out what those are.
While Sophie was telling Lok to take the Journal to a man named Dante Vale (an expert on ancient artifacts) three people in business suits (The Suits of the Organization) break into the room - from the window! - and demand Lok hand over the journal written by his father, and they attack him using magical powers! Sophie and Lok flee through the streets of Venice, and Sophie tells him to take the journal to Dante Vale.
On the way to Dante Vale, while trying to figure out what an Amulet and Titan is, Lok meets Cherit.
The Suits catch up to Lok and bring weird monsters with them to help capture him. During the fight, the journal falls into a canal, and Lok gets away by diving in after it. The journal’s pages are ruined, but Lok decides to find Dante anyway. While on his way to Dante’s house, more Suits and monsters arrive (Redcap & Mindrone)!
At that scene, we see DeFoe is able to erase memories of a human. He performs that on the gondolier.
Also on the scene where Sophie Casterwill is at the rooftop, we see a guy behind her. The name of the guy is Santiago. Santiago is Sophie Casterwill’s bodyguard. Sophie is the last surviving member of the famous Casterwill family. Santiago is a seeker, too, and he is protecting Sophie.
At that moment, Dante shows up, uses his own magical powers to battle the Suits, and brings out monsters of his own - the birdlike Solwing and the mighty warrior Caliban! Dante and Lok defeat the Suits and their monsters (we see Caliban and Solwing can defeat Redcap and Mindrone), and Dante explains the situation to Lok.
Dante is a Seeker interested in ancient secrets, a special person who can use magic and communicate with spirit creatures called Titans. Solwing and Caliban are Titans, as are the monsters the Suits have (like Redcap and Mindrone).
The Suits are evil Seekers working for a group called The Organization that wants to take over the world. Lok is a Seeker, too, just like his missing father. Dante tells Lok that he works for the Huntik Foundation, a group of good Seekers dedicated to stopping The Organization. He also tells Lok that his father was already a seeker, his father's Amulet has synchronized with Lok so he is already a part of the secret world. Dante also tells Lok that the Huntik Foundation can protect him and teach how to become a great Seeker... and along the way, maybe he’ll find out what happened to his father.
While Dante and Lok are talking, DeFoe surrounds Dante’s house with a large number of Suits and their Titans to steal Lok’s diary. How will our heroes escape when they’re outnumbered?
