Story
A solar flare called the has awakened mysterious OOPArts known as Spark Dolls from the depths of the earth and the ocean, materializing them into rampaging monsters that terrorize the Earth. Due to this, UNVER was formed to gather, collect and secure unstable Spark Dolls and a new attack team was formed, Xio to combat monster threats.

Fifteen years later, Daichi Ozora, a member of Xio's Lab Team who was orphaned when his parents got lost in the Ultra Flare, bonds and transforms into Ultraman X to battle threats from both aliens and monsters. He soon learns of the truth behind Ultra Flare and resolves to help Ultraman X to regain his physical body after the incident had trapped him in the form of computer data.

In the middle of the series, Daichi learns how to properly summon a Cyber Monster and thus, bringing forth Cyber Gomora, a monster modelled after his childhood Spark Doll, Gomora, becoming one of Xio's new allies and an alternative for Daichi whenever X is unable to fight. At the same time a strange energy source dubbed by Xio as frequently appears and turns ordinary monsters into berserks. Because the energy's effect also weakens X, it nearly killed him during his fight with Tsurugi Demaaga, the first victim of Dark Thunder Energy. To counter this, a new weapon was discovered by Daichi, the X-Lugger, which allows X to become Ultraman Exceed X and use the weapon to purify monsters from Dark Thunder Energy. In accordance to an alien named Dada, humanity is on the verge of extinction from the effect of Dark Thunder Energy's assault.

At the end of the series, the mastermind behind the Ultra Flare and Dark Thunder Energy appeared, namely Greeza. Having destroyed three planets in the past, it was thought to be killed after X banished it to the sun but instead survived and had journeyed through Mercury and Venus within 18 days. Now having arrived on Earth, Greeza sought to absorb the Spark Dolls to achieve its strongest evolution and X revealed himself to Xio members, seeking cooperation to defend their supply of Spark Dolls from Greeza. In the end, X and Daichi seemingly died after performing a kamikaze attack but Greeza survived its destruction and successfully absorbs Xio's Spark Dolls, finally achieving its final evolution. It wasn't until Asuna managed to bring Daichi back to the real world and X revived, with both managing to pursue the captured Spark Dolls to escape and merged with the Ultra to finish Greeza. Although the destroyer is killed, X however has yet to regain his true body, while continuing his service in Xio.
