In Ikki's neighborhood, a cart from Osaka that sells fried octopus balls sets up shop. Despite their good taste, Ikki voices his discontent, since he is a connoisseur of fried octopus balls. Natalie was upset and stayed up all night trying to perfect her recipe. The next day, she was enjoying a good crowd around her cart and again Ikki stopped by to taste her product. Unfortunately, he was once again not satisfied by the taste. Giving Natalie Ikki's attention and valuable advice, Natalie does not get upset, but instead falls in love with Ikki. Natalie is greatly troubled when she finds out that Ikki is ranked third in the nation of all Medafighters. Natalie must decide between her affection for Ikki, and her desire to eliminate him from the competition so she can compete in the World Robattle Tournament and promote her father's fried octopus ball recipe. Very distracted by the smell of fried octopus balls, Ikki almost loses a Robattle to the Clam-Type Octoclam Medabot.
