Bertran's talking mugshot

After joining a Guard Team, Akira left the Leader's room, where he met with Bertran and Lin Lin Shao. The latter explained they were his teammates. While Lin Lin wanted them to work together as a team, Bertran arrogantly claimed they were Akira's seniors and that, no matter how highly Zudokan thought of his record, that only mattered on training missions and he could never measure up to him, the best Tamer in Digital City.

After clearing Serial Hole and talking to his Leader, Akira met with Bertran and Lin Lin Shao once again. The former chalked Akira's success to luck and, after Lin Lin called him out on it, left in rage while claiming he'd never lose to him. Lin Lin tried to de-escalate the situation by explaining to Akira that Bertran saw him as his rival, which made Akira want to beat Bertran too.

In the Main Gate, Bertran told Akira about Angemon, who led a group of peace-loving Digimon. However, Bertran wondered why the Wild Digimon didn't attack them, which made him doubt this was true. Lin Lin Shao told Akira about Meridin Dome, where said non-Wild Digimon hid. However, she didn't know where it was.

After rescuing Angemon, Akira met with Bertran once more in Meridin Dome.

Akira fought Bertran as the first round of the Rank 2 Tournament in the Colosseum. He uses Toy Agumon, Patamon and Gizamon for this fight. They fought again as the last round of the Rank 3 tournament. He uses Raremon, Gabumon and Penmon for this fight. After his defeat, Bertran was left fuming, having lost to his rival not once but twice.

After they were warned about the Blood Knights, Akira met with Bertran and Lin Lin Shao, now accompanied by Luckyta. Bertran was sure he could take care of the Blood Knights alone, then introduced Luckyta, a new member of the Team to Akira. He also introduced Akira to Luckyta as a good Tamer, but not as good as Bertran himself. Luckyta did not share Bertran's arrogance, however, and politely introduced himself to Akira and stated he would train hard to be a cool Tamer like Bertran and Akira. Bertran acknowledged Luckyta's potential, although he also denied Akira's own, told Akira to train if he didn't want to fall behind Luckyta, then both left to explore a Hole. Lin Lin Shao wondered why Bertran had to constantly be mean to Akira and asked him if he had bought everything he needed, but Bertran wasn't listening to her anymore.

In Floor 7 of Resist Hole, Akira met with Bertran, who was surprised Akira got that far but refused to let him through as he had cornered the Blood Knight Officer and wanted to be the one to capture him.

Bertran is a boss of Resist Hole. He uses a team of Vegimon, Garurumon and Gabumon. During this fight, Vegimon can use Branch Drain, Garurumon can use Foxfire, and Gabumon can use Petit Fire.

Bertran was shocked about his defeat and couldn't understand what he did wrong. He then pretended he had gone easy on Akira and angrily left, allowing Akira passage to the deepest part of the Hole

After Akira showed the Leader the Red Orders, Bertran told Akira that his team got the order to find the Blood Knights' front-line base, which he was sure he could easily do if he got serious. Lin Lin Shao ordered him to buy an Anti-Freeze Disk and make sure his equipment was in order to avoid repeating an earlier issue, though Bertran bluffed that he had just been playing around back then. Luckyta then joined them with the Anti-Freeze Disk Bertran was meant to buy, so the trio left, with Lin Lin Shao angry at how Bertran refused to grow.

After helping Ayumi repair GAIA, Akira returned to his HQ, where Luckyta confessed that Bertran and Lin Lin Shao may be in danger. He explained they had gone together to Buffer Hole, where they found an X-Mech Part with the Blood Knights symbol on it, which made them keep going. However, when they realized the Hole went deeper than 7 floors, they decided that Luckyta would go back with Auto Pilot while Bertran and Lin Lin Shao continued. However, they never came back, and Luckyta wasn't sure if to report it or not. Akira thought they may have been captured and Buffer Hole may be the Blood Knights' HQ as they had no information on it. Akira then took on the job of rescuing them while Luckyta reported the situation, and the latter gave the former the Part they had found.

As Luckyta had stated, Buffer Hole had more than 7 floors. The lowest floor was now Floor 10, where Akira found Lin Lin Shao in her pink DigiBeetle. After defeating and rescuing her, Lin Lin Shao explained Bertran had kept chasing the Blood Knights DigiBeetle all by himself. Akira offered to go look for him while Lin Lin Shao went back to the City and she accepted as her DigiBeetle was nearly out of energy and ammo, though not before asking him to find Bertran.

Deeper into the floor, Akira did find Bertran, who also had lost himself and was terrified, thinking he was in a dark and cramped place. Bertran then attacked Akira in fear as he thought Akira was a ghost who wanted to catch him.

Bertran is a boss of Buffer Hole. He uses a team of Digitamamon, Deramon and Tankmon. During this fight, Digitamamon can use Mega Heal, Deramon can use Royal Nuts and Unchi, and Tankmon can use Friendly Fire.

After the fight, Akira screamed at Bertran to wake up. While he still kept crying for a moment, he then recovered himself, and was left in the same state of confusion as Lin Lin Shao before. He remembered fighting an enemy DigiBeetle then he heard a weird sound and everything went dark. Akira explained he walked into an enemy trap and passed out. Bertran attempted to leave to destroy the Blood Knights DigiBeetle that had hit him with that sound, but ran out of EP, leaving Akira exasperated at his recklessness.

Back in HQ, in the right room, Lin Lin Shao thanked Akira, though Bertran instead claimed he could've gotten out by himself. Lin Lin Shao didn't let the comment slide, however, and called him out on being too proud to accept the truth, which angered Bertran.

Akira fought Bertran as the first round of the Rank 6 Tournament in the Colosseum. He uses Tailmon, Flare Lizamon and Devidramon for this fight. Prior to the battle, he was sure he'd win this time.
