Volume 1

 * The story is set in an ambiguous year in the 21st century ("20XX AD").
 * The Net has become humanity's primary means of communication, commerce, and even crime.
 * Users are able to "jack in" to the Net and other computerized devices, and explore their various aspects using program avatars called "NetNavis (Network Navigators)" as if they were physical locations.
 * The Net and the inner workings of computers are displayed as a virtual world with which computer programs of all varieties, as personified in a humanoid form, can interact. Users often do so by accessing their NetNavis via a "PET (PErsonal information Terminal)" device.
 * Lan Hikari is a fifth grader in the town of ACDC. His father, Dr. Yuichiro Hikari, is one of the world's top scientists and NetNavi researchers.
 * Not long into the story, Lan and his NetNavi MegaMan.EXE take it upon themselves to solve various criminal cases around ACDC involving other Navis and their operators.
 * Some of the confrontations with the various criminals involve desperate, life-threatening situations including a bus rigged to explode, oxygen being cut off at a large party, the entire city's clean water freezing, and school students being re-educated as mindless slaves.
 * The duo continuously crosses paths with Eugene Chaud, an official "NetBattler" commissioned by the government to investigate crimes on the Net. Chaud and his NetNavi ProtoMan.EXE act as rivals to Lan and MegaMan.EXE.
 * The protagonists eventually learn that the criminals are all connected to an organization called the "WWW (World Three)". The WWW intentionally infects computer networks with computer viruses so as to hinder their normal operations and hack vital information. The group is led by Dr. Wily, a former colleague of Lan's grandfather.
 * While working together, Wily had specialized in robotics while Lan's grandfather specialized in networks, which eventually led to NetNavis.
 * The government cut Wily's funding, opting instead to pursue Hikari's NetNavi project.
 * Wily's goal throughout the game is to collect four super programs with which the "LifeVirus" may be constructed. The LifeVirus is a nearly indestructible virus capable of wiping out the Net and all associated devices.
 * The protagonists infiltrate the WWW, but MegaMan.EXE becomes disabled. Chaud arrives and gives Lan a batch file from Dr. Hikari to restore his Navi.
 * After receiving the file "Hub.bat", Lan questions his father about the name.
 * It is revealed the MegaMan.EXE is actually a unique Navi made by Lan's father. When Lan's twin brother, Hub, died at a young age, Dr. Hikari transferred Hub's consciousness into the NetNavi MegaMan.EXE. This created a special physical and virtual bond between the two brothers.
 * In the end, Lan and MegaMan.EXE manage to defeat Wily, destroy the LifeVirus, and restore peace to ACDC.

Volume 2

 * The story opens with the world in a time of peace following the defeat of the organization known as the WWW.
 * However, NetCrime, as perpetrated by a NetMafia organization known as Gospel, is on the rise.
 * Once again Lan Hikari and his NetNavi MegaMan become involved and work to defeat Gospel's plot to destroy society.
 * NetNavis Operators are given the chance to become City NetBattlers, a lesser form of an Official NetBattler, which Lan does, allowing him to travel around the world, both in cyberspace and in real life. In doing so, Lan befuddles Gospel's attempts to collect four particularly powerful computer programs, called simply SuperPrograms, on numerous occasions.
 * However, Gospel is finally successful and uses these programs, in combination with computer bugs, to construct a SuperNavi of immense power. This Navi is a duplication of Bass.
 * However, after fighting Megaman the Bass copy destabilized and transformed into a gigantic, wolf-shaped super Multi-bug Organism (Also referred as Gospel) that heavily resembles Gregar.
 * The energy needed to create this Navi causes unusual radiation, blending the Net and the real world together.
 * This radiation eventually paralyzes Lan, effectively making him incapable of operating MegaMan, however the latter puts the two into full synchronization so that Lan may control MegaMan by thought and emotion.
 * During the final battle it is revealed that the leader of Gospel is Sean Obihiro, a child who felt neglected by and resentful of society after his parents died in a plane crash.
 * After defeating the Multi-bug Organism Gospel, Lan promises to be the boy's friend after he has paid for his crimes.
 * Bass is later seen destroying copies of himself, and shows anger toward the human that made them (implying to Sean). He swears he'll exact his revenge on the humans and then disappears.
