* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Principal Randall catches Ethan because it would only take someone as smart as him to hack in the school system and tamper with the sprinklers when they went they off, as well the fact that he is the only one who had an umbrella meaning he knew it was going to happen.

While on a detention-related field trip with their new science teacher (Dr. Tommy Oliver), three students from Reefside High School (soccer star Conner, rocker star wannabe Kira, and wiz-kid Ethan), stumble upon mystical Dino Gems which give them special powers. This makes them a target for a group of evil creatures known as Tyrannodrones. Can the teen trio work together despite their vast differences? And what connection is there between Dr. Oliver and the T-Drones' master, the dinosauric humanoid known as Mesogog?

* TheyWouldCutYouUp: Before the kids learn just who Tommy is, this is the reason Ethan gives to Kira for keeping the gems a secret. Guys with super-powers often end up in labs with wires sticking out of their heads. Conner adds that even ''he'' knows that one.

--->'''Mesogog:''' The citizens of Reefside will think that idiot Lothor has returned.
* FantasyHelmetEnforcement: Tommy makes a point of fastening his seat belt before driving off even though the ''freaking Tyrannosaur'' chasing him seemed to be the greater safety hazard. Lampshaded by the man himself: "Yeah, lock the door, Tommy. Real good."

--->'''Cassidy:''' Why would Conner [=McKnight=]---King of all Jocks---be hanging out with Ethan James? King of all Geeks? Not to mention the Avril wannabe. I mean, in the three years we've been at Reefside, have you ever seen them look at each other? Because I haven't.

* Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Cassidy herself notes this early on, wondering why the jock, the nerd and the rocker are all hanging out together.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Kira tries this. It doesn't stick.

* ItsProbablyNothing: Ethan shoots this down. "That ain't the wind. As much as we'd like it to be... it ain't."
