The story begins with “Experiment 626” (or Stitch) being created by Jumba Jookiba to cause chaos across the galaxy. He escapes his captors by crashing his spaceship on Kauai, where he is adopted by Lilo as her pet “dog.” Through his interactions with the Hawaiian concept of ‘ohana and her reformed cousins, Stitch becomes more well-meaning, but is still prone to destructive impulses.

Eventually, he meets a girl named Angel who loves him and helps him overcome his destructive tendencies. However, he is nearly destroyed by a new clone of himself, called Leroy, until his Neo-PowerChip activates from the love of Lilo and her family, supercharging him and allowing him to defeat Dark End.
