==Plot summary==
===Chapter 1===
Ikki has a dream where he meets a strange [[alien]] on the moon. After he wakes up, he runs errands for his family and meets [[Arika]] at the [[24 Hop Mart]]. A special broadcast from [[Yuuki]] of the [[Medarot Company]] announces that a special Robattle tournament is scheduled, with the prize being a trip to a space station. Arika goes to practice in the park but she is harangued by [[The Screws]]. After Ikki fights them off, a sudden magnetic storm wipes off the data of everyone's [[Medarotch]], leaving only [[Medarot]]s that were deployed during the event unaffected.

Arika and Ikki decide to investigate the cause behind this incident. As they do so, they discover that the RoboRobo Gang's executives have escaped jail and that a variety of odd occurences in school and around town have been caused by RoboRobo goons, who shrunk themselves using an advanced device called the [[MiniMini Machine]]. After apprehending most of the RoboRobos, Ikk iand Arika gets ready for the first stage of the tournament at the school's grounds but are surprised when [[Kikuhime]] forces herself as the third member of the team. Progressing through the championship, they find that the final team they were supposed to face was kidnapped and replaced by RoboRobos. Beating the fake team, Ikki heads inside the school and comes to face with [[Shiokara]], who holds the missing team hostage. Denying any responsibility for the magnetic storm, Shiokara escapes.

At Kikuhime's request, Ikki heads to [[Iwanoi]]'s house to check up on him, as he's locked himself all days trying to find the cause of the Medarotch malfunction. Soon after they enter Iwanoi's room, the computer program Iwanoi was using is mysterious deleted and Iwanoi and Arika are knocked out by [[Electra]], a being made of energy. Ikki defeats Electra in Robattle and heads home to rest for the next day.

===Chapter 2===

Ikki and Arika head to [[Medaropolis]] for the next step of the tournament at the [[Hanazono Private School]]. After checking up on [[Koji]], [[Hachiro]] and [[Karin]], they find that a substitute headmaster at the school has set strict rules, including forbidding entry of students from other schools. Hearing rumors of a new type of Medarot, Ikki and Arika go to the [[Medarot Company]] HQ. Ikki meets with [[Nae]], who offers him to test a new model and then gifts him upgraded parts for his starter Medarot ([[Saikachis]] for the Kabuto version / [[Dorcus for Kuwagata]]).

To enter the school, Ikki borrows a entry badge from Karin but soon after he is Robattled by The Screws, who did it as a distraction to steal Ikki's badge. Borrowing Karin's personal badge, Ikki enters the schools and defeat The Screws, who'd been causing trouble at Hanazono, and get them to give back the badge. After giving Karin her badge back, Ikki returns to the school and learns that the Medals of various students, including Hachiro's, have been confiscated. Ikki find the stolen Medals and give Hachiro's back. Hachiro tells him about a spy Medarot who has been used to enforce the new headmaster's policies. This makes Ikki go to the headmaster's office, but the headmaster kidnaps him and makes him an offer.

Karin stumbles upon Ikki's dropped Medarotch and fails to hear his pleas for help. Investigating with Ikki's starter Medarot, she eventually finds him and give back the Medarotch. The second leg of the tournament starts and Ikki's team progress through the rankings, eventually confronting Koji. It is revealed that the headmaster had proposed to Ikki to fix the fight to defeat Koji, but Ikki and Arika pretended to accept only to plan against the interference so that they could have an honest fight. Ikki wins but Kikuhime leaves the team, suggesting to have Karin and Koji fill her spot. Yuuki accepts the modification.

When done, Ikki returns to Omikuji. On [[Hikaru]]'s advice, he goes to the Medarot Laboratory and gets a lesson from Dr. Medarot about the nature of the Medals. Ikki returns home, but he is awaken from his sleep by static noises coming from his computer. Electra appears and robattles him again.


===Chapter 3===

For the next leg of the tourney, Ikki, Arika, Koji and Karin are invited by Hachiro into the underground complex of [[Earth Mall]]. They are given a tour of the facilities, but Ikki becomes very upset when he sees a oversized [[Primity Baby]] has been kept static to supply the complex's energy needs. He runs aways and drop his Medarotch, which Arika picks up. Shortly after this, the RoboRobos make trouble around town and Arika heads to a stand-off, where she finds Koji mistreating a captured RoboRobo. Her and Koji robattle and Arika emerges victorious, handling the Medarotch to Koji. While trying to look for Ikki, Kouji finds Shikora and the RoboRobos trying to rob Geofront's Scientific Laboratory. He defeats them and learn from a grunt that the RoboRobos plant to take over Earth Mall by capturing a lot of Medals.

Kouji bumps into Arika again and learns from her that Ikki is in the lab he was just in. He hands back the Medarotch to Arika so that he can informs Karin. Arika goes to the lab and finds Ikki watching the worker Medarots. After she hands back Ikki his Medarotch and leave, [[Kagane|one of the worker Medarot]] hands Ikki a flower, which she claims she grew for the children at school.
