| While daydreaming of one day owning his own pet robot or Medabot, Ikki finds a Medal that was accidentally dropped in the river by the Phantom Renegade. Ikki's friend, Erika, is in danger from the town bullies, called the Screws. To help her, Ikki uses what little savings he has to buy an outdated Hercules Beetle-Type Medabot, which he names 'Metabee'. He inserts the Medal that he found at the river into Metabee and challenges the Screws to a Robattle. Officiating is Mr. Referee, recognized for Class A Robattles by the World Medabot Federation! The rules are simple. The Medabots fight one another, and whichever is able to cause the other's functions to cease is the winner! And then the winner gets to receive one body part from the loser! Ikki commands his Medabot to attack, but nothing happens! The Screws take advantage of this chance and bombard Metabee with missiles. Why doesn't Ikki's Medabot move or fight back? Suddenly Metabee comes to life and he easily defeats the Phoenix-Type Medabot, Phoenix of the Rockers Gang. Henry from the convenience store sold Metabee to Ikki. Henry is a guru to the kids, and is himself a former Robattle Champion. Because of the incredible speed and strength that Metabee demonstrates in battle, Henry wonders if Metabee might possess a Rare Medal. |
