Platinum (Adventures)

Platinum Berlitz (also known as Platina) is a Pokédex Holder in the Pokémon Adventures manga. At the beginning, Diamond and Pearl thought she was their tour guide, with Diamond taking an early interest in her and Pearl getting a little annoyed and perplexed regarding her attitude.

Appearance
Just like most characters in the manga they are based on the playable characters. Platinum is based on the female character of Pokémon Platinum, Pokémon Diamond, and Pokémon Pearl; Dawn.

Diamond & Pearl Chapter
Prior to starting her Pokemon journey, Platinum was born into the Berlitz family, well known for their wealth and generations of scholars. Due to this fame, she became well acquainted with Professor Rowan. This led to her possession of the Pokédex and the three Sinnoh starters, which she was meant to provide her bodyguards. The original purpose of her Pokemon journey was to continue the Berlitz family tradition, by traveling to Mt. Coronet and obtaining a specific material used in creating the Berlitz crest.

She didn't know that Diamond and Pearl were her bodyguards and she thought about it when she learned the truth but she still kept the two of them because of their friendship. She is being taught by Diamond and Pearl how to battle.

Whenever she is battling a Gym Leader, Diamond and Pearl give her some tips. She met Cynthia while training for her battle with Gardenia. In later chapters, she swears to defeat Team Galactic's plans and forgives Diamond and Pearl for lying.
