The Snow Kids: D'Jok, Rocket, Tia, Micro-Ice, Mei, Thran, and Ahito.

Galactik Football is an animated television series, co-produced by Alphanim and France 2 for Jetix. It follows the story of a futuristic football team - The Snow Kids - as they try to win the Galactik Football Cup for their home planet Akilian, with the help of The Flux - a mystical energy, specific for every planet.

Plot

Template:Spoiler Fifteen years before the time in which the series is set, we witness the end of a match between Akilian's home team and an opposing team - The Shadows. Just as Aarch - the future coach of the Snow Kids - is about to end the match, a strange explosion rocks the stadium, marking the beginning of the Akilian ice age and apparently the end of The Breath - Akilian's specific Flux. Fifteen years later, Aarch and Clamp (a robot technician) land on Akilian to start a new team. After the try-outs, Ahito, Micro-ice, D'Jok, Sinedd, Mei, Thran, and Tia are chosen. At first Tia is the only one able to use the Breath, and the team still needs a good passer too. Aarch, believing he has found a suitable player in his nephew Rocket, asks his brother Norata, to let Rocket play. Norata agrees to let his son join the team if they win their match against the Red Tigers. The match ends with a win for the Snow Kids, and their new captain- Rocket. Sinedd however is convinced by Aarches' former teammate, best friend, and coach of the Red Tigers, Artegor Nexus, to join his team, The Shadows. Sinedd agrees. Template:Endspoiler

Opening theme

(Aarch):On every planet in the galaxy, you'll find the Flux, a powerful, magical energy. Here on Akilian we call it the Breath. The Flux is so strong, that it had to be banned except in Galactik Football - the most spectacular sport in the galaxy. But fifteen years ago a mysterious explosion rocked Akilian, swepped the Breath away and destroyed our chances in the Galactik Football Cup. Fifteen years without a decent team and nothing but snow and ice. Now hope lives again, young new players to revive the Breath. Our faith is in their hands. Galactik Football!

The Flux

The Flux power is incredible when in action, allowing players to perform amazing feats of acrobatic and athletic prowess. It usually appears as a constantly shifting aura around the person using it, and although it's primary use is for physical enhancement (i.e. increased speed and strength), it can be used in other ways. According to what's mentioned in the series, each Flux is formed according to the nature, geology and even the shape of a planet. Example, the exposion that hit Akilliaan and started the ice age also shifted it's planetary axis, which most believed caused The Breath to disappear. Also, it seems that certain Fluxes can be used by anyone on the team, even if they weren't born on that planet. Example: Sinedd of Akilian using the Smog from Planet Shadow Until the Great Peace of five hundred years ago, the fluxes (or fluids) were used as weapons of war. However after this point their use was forbidden in all fields except sports. It is the responsibility of the Flux Society to ensure that Flux is used responsbily and only in the realm of Galactik Football.

So far, these are the known Fluxes, as well as their planets of origin:

The Breath

Found on Planet Akilian and used by the Snow Kids as well as the former players, like Aarch. It is a soft blue-white color in nature, and usually makes a dull humming noise when active. At first only Tia could use it, but by the middle of the series all of the Snow Kids tap into its power. Some have used it in unique ways: Rocket can use it to grab the ball in his feet and then spins away from his opponents. D'Jok has used it to physically push the ball towards a goal, almost like telekinesis. Thran once made a shield out of Flux to block opposing players from passing.

Metal Yell

Used by the Rykers from Planet Unadar, a world of metal and pollution. Yellow in color, the Ryker players can shape it into a physical form for some highly intense physical attacks. Example: When Tia jumped up to intercept the ball, two players jumped in front of her and knocked her out of the air with two powerful blasts of Metal Yell. The Ryker's goalkeeper hit the ball with a blast of Metal Yell, and made it slow down to a stop in the palm of her hand. It's called metal yell due to the fact that when every the Rykers use it they always scream in their eery metallic voice.

The Smog

The Flux of the Shadows from Planet Shadow, a world that seems to reside inside a large crystal planet. It manifests as a twisting cloud of shadows that encircles the player, and can allow the player using it to teleport short distances, much like Nightcrawler from X-men, although the limit of this technique has yet to be known. The favourite tactic of the Shadows is to run head on at a player and then teleport just as their about to hit, disorientating the opposing player while they vanish with the ball. It should be noted that there have been other players not native to Planet Shadow that have used the Smog: Aarch from Akilliaan, along with his team mate Artegor could use the Smog, but during a match against the Cyclopses, Aarch suddenly became ill and collapsed, coughing and wheezing, claiming that the smog was making him sick. Later Sinedd, taken in by Artegor, is also seen using the Smog to a high level. But during a one-on-one Duel with D'Jok, it is seen that he too is apparently beginning to suffer from the affects of the Smog's toxicity.

The Roar

Used by the Wombas on Planet Womba, a tropical type planet. Reddish orange in color, the Wombas use it for some spectacular acrobatic stunts, like grabbing the ball and somersaulting past between two opposing players. Again, it's named according to the sound the Players make when using it, namely a deep lion's roar.

The Charge

Used by The Lightnings, planet unknown at the time. Their Flux manifests as sparks of electricity, or streaks of white light tinted slightly blue. The players look like tall well built men, blue and slightly robotic in nature. The most common feature of their Flux is the ability to move at incredible speeds, literally streaking from one point to the other across the field. In a match shown with them against the Shadows, the Charge seemed to be on par with the Smog's teleport ability, allowing the Lightnings to easily match them move for move.

The Cyclopses

Small green aliens with one eye, these players use the flux mentally oppossed to physically. According to the Jetix site, they can mentally control the ball as well as read players minds and confuse them with beams from their eyes. Although the latter has been seen in the series, the other two have yet to be seen.

The following teams do not have Flux, or have ever displayed any form of Flux at all:

The Pirates

The Red Tigers

Team Technoid

Meta-Flux

There is another Flux called The Meta-Flux, a syntheticly created Flux made for the use of the Technoid team by Sonny BlackBones and Clamp when they were still scientists working at the Technoid Inc. Original suppose to allow the Technoid Droids to play as well as humans, the Technoid General Blylock saw it's use for military purposes when he learned that the Flux was undetectable. However, Sonny ran away with the Meta-Flux to Akilliaan, only to let it fall of the edge of a building and hit the ground where it exploded and caused the ice age to begin. The Meta-Flux survived though, inside the kids that later became the players of the Snow Kids. It was later discovered that the Meta-Flux was tied with the Breath, in other words the stronger The Breath, the stronger the Meta-Flux. Whether or not it helped the kids to grow to such a strong level of Flux is still being debated. Later it was discoverd that the Meta-Flux was killing the Snow Kids, poisoning them whenever they used The Breath, due to the bond between the two Fluxes and the Meta-Flux's synthetic nature over the Breath's natural orgins. It was feared that removing it would also remove The Breath, but fortunately it was not the case. Currently the Meta-Flux is back in the hands of Sonny, but whether or not he has destroyed it is unknown.
