'''Platinum Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ・ベルリッツ''' ''<!--Her name is Platinum, not Platina. Any edits changing this will be reverted immediately.-->Platinum Berlitz'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]] and the female main character for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and the {{chap|Platinum}} story arcs. At first, she was only known by her family name; her given name is the same as the then unreleased third version to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}: {{v2|Platinum}}.

For her skills, she is given the title of '''"{{p|Uxie|Understander}}"''' (知る者 ''Understander'').

Platinum is a member of the house of Berlitz, a 200-year old and {{wp|zaibatsu|extremely financially powerful family}} of [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners, instead insisting that they refer to her as '''Lady{{tt|*|Missy in the Chuang Yi versions}}''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''' ''Ojōsama'', a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class).

She is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platinum challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon. Despite her knowledgeable nature, Platinum originally had troubles with managing her money but was able to overcome this in her challenge of the Battle Castle. Being highly knowledgeable, she is associated with {{p|Uxie}}.

After literally plowing her way through the Gyms challenge, Platinum reaches Candice and begins battling her. Though Platinum starts off with the advantage, things quickly get bad for her but she eventually manages to defeat Candice with the help of her newest team member, {{p|Lopunny}}. After receiving the Icicle Badge from Candice, she and Maylene join Platinum in her goal to stop Team Galactic from blowing up the three lakes. After taking a shortcut, they all eventually make it to Lake Acuity where they are confronted by one of the Team Galactic Commanders, [[Jupiter]]. Despite their best efforts, Jupiter is far too powerful for any of them to handle and are subsequently defeated. Jupiter succeeds in capturing {{p|Uxie}} while Platinum is forced to take Candice, Maylene, and herself to a [[Snowpoint Temple|mysterious temple]] while she has her Rapidash use his flames to protect them from the cold. Before falling unconscious, Platinum hears the sound of a Pokémon and tries to capture it in case it tries to attack them but falls asleep before she can; her Poké Ball then rolls into the temple, revealing a mysterious {{p|Regigigas|silhouette}}.

After finishing her training and receiving the Beacon Badge, Platinum rushes off to the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]] while Candice and Maylene stay behind to finish their training. Platinum manages to easily sneak inside thanks to a previously laid distraction made by Pearl and begins searching for the [[Lake guardians]]. As she searches, her Pokédex begins ringing the morning sound, telling Platinum that Pearl and Diamond are somewhere nearby. Platinum manages to maneuver through a room filled with smoke and a loud painful noise created by the battle with Diamond and the Advanced level Grunt and reaches the container that has Uxie locked inside of it but is trapped inside with the Advanced level Grunt's {{p|Cradily}}. Realizing the Grunt's obsession with the Pokédex will be his weakness, Diamond commands the other two to sacrifice their Pokédexes in order to distract them. Though painful at first, they do it, distracting the Grunt's Pokémon long enough for all three to press the button that would release {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}.
