Ikki Tenryou


In the near future, humans and robots coexist. “Robattles,” a competition in which Medarot are pitted against each other, is popular among kids.

This is the story of their friendship and growth as they use wisdom and courage to fight countless opponents in robot battles.

When Ikki wins two free tickets to popular Ninja Park, Erika persuades him to take her as his free guest. Ikki's first choice was Karin, but Erika wants to do a story on the park. Ikki reluctantly agrees because Erika took one ticket and wouldn't give it back. The main attractions to the park are the Explosive Ninja Show that features Ninja-Type Medabot Nin-Ninja and Kunoichi (Female Ninja)-Type Medabot Icknite, as well as the Ninja Castle that says closed for renovations. Disappointed, Ikki and Erika proceed to the Ninja Show. As the Ninja Show begins, Ikki and Erika notice that the monsters in the show look very much like the Rubberobo Gang. Seaslug has decided to hold Ikki and Erika captive until renovations are completed on their new base Ninja Castle! The Rubberobo Gang has stolen the Medals of Nin-Ninja and Icknite, and has complete control over them. Intuitively knowing that Ikki and Erika are in trouble, Metabee and Sailor-Multi (nicknamed Brass) come to their rescue.
While traveling across the nation, training to become the best in the country, a Medafighter stops at Ikki's home. He is looking for a blue and white Medabot that interrupted his training in the mountains. The Medafighter tells Ikki that over 100 Medabots attacked him at one time and defeated his Kintaro-Type Medabot Kintaro. He can't remember seeing an Medafighter, and only remembers a white and blue Medabot with horns. A blue and white Medabot with no Medafighter? That description fits Rokusho, but he can't possibly be the one that did this terrible thing, can he? When Rokusho is confronted, the truth is revealed - it was indeed Rokusho who interrupted their training, but for good reason. Acting alone, Rokusho did this because they were cutting down trees during their training. He stopped their training not with force but with compassion. This sounds more like the Rokusho that we know!
Spring is in the air, and like flowers, the hearts of men are blooming for Miss Mimosa, a popular teacher at Ikki's school. Coach Mountain, Squidguts, and the local florist, Mr. Richards all want to confess their love for Miss Mimosa but are too shy. Not surprisingly, Mr. Richards tries to express his feelings with flowers. But now someone is stalking Miss Mimosa by making crank telephone calls, following her home and breaking into her classroom. They discover that Mr. Richards' Medabot Flower-Type Medabot FLORO is the culprit. He tried to act as a go-between by calling her at home and visiting the school, all in an attempt to bring Mr. Richards and Miss Mimosa together. Then, just like his Medafighter, FLORO became shy and nervous when he approached her.

Penguins are cute with their black and white bodies and small wings, and the unique way they waddle when they walk. When they stare at you with those beady eyes, it just takes your breath away! Along with a little boy named Paco and his Medabot Pingen, Ikki and his friends break into a strange animal park operated by the Rubberobo Gang to help send hundreds of penguins back to their home in Antarctica. Pingen, a Penguin Type Medabot that is not suited for battle because of its weak armor, was a present from Paco's dad in Antarctica to keep Paco company while he is away. Rubberobo's plan was to build a zoo to raise funds for taking over the world! The mistake was trying to make a zoo with only penguins. Their bizarre plans were spoiled when Pingen, Paco and his new friends succeed in setting the penguins free. Ikki and the others are happy to help send the penguins home to Antarctica, but hate to say goodbye to Pingen.
The Rubber Robo Gang comes up with a plan to use Ikki and Metabee to steal a super rare medal from Dr. Aki himself, who is the creator of all Medabots and also Karin's uncle.
