Lin Lin Shao'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.

Akira fought Lin Lin Shao as the last round of the Rank 2 Tournament in the Colosseum. She uses Bakumon, Ganimon and Kunemon for this fight.

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.

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. She had clearly gone mad, as she kept talking about how everything was spinning and laughing at it, then attacked Akira as she saw his DigiBeetle as a Blood Knights one.

Lin Lin Shao is a boss of Buffer Hole. She uses a team of Raremon, Monzaemon and Igamon. During this fight, Raremon can use Hedoro and Poison S-mush, Monzaemon can use Lovely Attack and Heartbreak Attack, and Igamon can use Iga-ryū Shuriken Nage and Implant.

After defeating Lin Lin Shao, she came back to her senses. She had no memories of what had happened, only that she was chasing an enemy DigiBeetle. Akira explained she had probably walked into a trap and Luckyta had asked him to get them. He then asked her where Bertran was, since he thought they were together. Lin Lin Shao explained he 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.

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 decided to ignore their argument and instead asked Lin Lin Shao about Ben Oldman. To that, she explained that he lived all alone and refused to move to the City despite her insistence about it, then sent Akira his address, Archive Port.

Akira fought Lin Lin Shao as the last round of the Rank 4 Tournament. She promised it wouldn't go like last time, but after it did, she left crying. She uses Angemon, Kiwimon and Mushmon for this fight.
