A large bearded man and his medabot, Kintaro, arrive at Ikki's home.
Mrs. Tenryou thinks he is a famous wrestler, but in fact, his name is Kareem.
When Ikki and Metabee arrive, they find Kareem and Kintaro have literally
made themselves at home. The two visitors are eating, drinking, and playing
video games that belong to Ikki.
When Ikki asks the purpose of his visit, Kareem explained how they had gone to
Mt. Cedar to train in the wilderness. Kintaro was just about to enter his final
phase of training when they were attacked by 100 medabots. Kareem told Ikki Kintaro
had defeated all but one, and now they are looking for that mysterious bot.
Erika thinks Kareem's search is the makings of a great story. Unfortunately, Kareem
can give them very little clues to help find this elusive bot. Ikki, Metabee, and
Erika search everywhere asking everyone they see. When they think they may have
found the culprit, it turns out to be the wrong medabot.
Finally, Rokusho appears to save a baby in a run-a-way stroller. Kareem recognizes
him immediately. Ikki and Erika are shocked. Rokusho tells his side of the story.
It seems Kintaro had chopped down almost all of the beautiful forest. Rokusho wanted
to put a stop to that.
Kareem wants to robattle, but Rokusho refuses. Kintaro is ordered to attack in spite
of Rokusho's refusal. Too bad Kintaro caused his own demise by letting a tree he
sliced fall on himself. That is the same thing that happened at Mt. Cedar. Rokusho
never fought. Kintaro caused his own defeat.
What is the moral of this episode? It is wise to hear both sides of the story before
making a judgement. (Very true, Rokusho, very true.)
