Meanwhile, Metabee has just defeated Cyandog in a robattle. Metabee and Ikki are arguing when a mysterious stranger approaches and states his impression of the battle. Fearful of the stranger's intentions, Ikki and Metabee run. Once home, they find that Spyke had led this stranger to Ikki's home. What's more, Mrs. Tenryou is serving him snacks! Just as Ikki is explaining that strangers should not be allowed in the home, there is a knock at the door. It's Koji looking for Dr. Aki. Imagine Ikki and Spyke's surprise when they learn the stranger is the famous Dr. Aki...inventor of Medabots!! Imagine Ikki's delight when Karin shows up looking for her uncle, Dr. Aki!! (Well, now we know why she is the heir to a fortune.)

Dr. Aki suggests they go to the convenience store (where Henry works) to get some excellent pudding. Ikki is surprised to learn that Henry and Dr. Aki go way back. It seems Henry was Dr. Aki's apprentice but gave it all up. Dr. Aki offers to train Ikki, because he feels that the outcome of a robattle is determined by the power and skill of the medafighter. Metabee defiantly disagrees! As proof, Dr. Aki shows how Cyandog is able to defeat Metabee with the proper instructions. So be it...Ikki will become Dr. Aki's apprentice.

Everyone arrives at Dr. Aki's home to find it filthy. The kids are instructed to clean the house. Thinking it's part of his training Ikki works willingly, but Metabee is not happy. Koji and Sumilidon are working as well until Koji spots a spider. Seems Koji has a major fear of bugs. After the house is cleaned, they all help the doctor with his groceries. The mysterious Rokusho is spotted as they are returning home. Suddenly, the Rubberobo gang, with the help of their bot Spidar, grab Neutranurse.

The Rubberobo gang were under the false impression that Neutranurse had a rare medal. They were wrong, but still they will not let Karin's bot go. Ikki challenges them to a robattle. Seaslug orders Spidar to hit with an arachnoblaster attack. This immobilizes Metabee in a sticky goo. Then Spidar uses his web cannon. It looks bad for Metabee. Everyone thinks the ref should call it a tie, but Ikki knows that would mean giving up Neutranurse's medal to those scoundrals. No way! Metabee is instructed to shoot his seeker missle at himself allowing him to get free. He then fires at Spidar. Spidar is hit...function cease! Another victory for Metabee.

Dr. Aki realizes that danger exists if this Rubberobo gang is only interested in rare medals. Why is that? We'll just have to wait and see.....
