Character Overview:

Lady Berlitz is the female protagonist of the DP series, but her first name has not been revealed yet, and is always covered by other speech bubbles. It is believed to be the same of the title of the third sequel to Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. She is a descendant of the prestigious Berlitz family, which is a wealthy clan in Sinnoh with a history of more than 200 years, producing fine scholars in every generation. A family tradition calls for each individual to travel to the summit of Mt. Coronet, and collect a special material to create an accessory bearing the family crest. Like her father Sir Berlitz, she is acquainted with Prof. Rowan and has worked as his assistant before she set out on her journey, allowing her to know a lot about Pokemon.

Proud and arrogant, Lady Berlitz comes off as a spoilt girl, and only spends her nights at top-class luxurious hotels. She did not find it necessary to reveal her name to people of a lower class, as taught by her butler Sebastian, and thus refused to tell it to Dia and Pearl, whom she mistook as her bodyguards due to a mutual misunderstanding. However, the Lady actually has the heart of an innocent child underneath her perky exterior, and as she weathered through various adventures under the support of Dia and Pearl, she gradually came to appreciate their presence, and even shared her glory of victory with them when she won the Super Contest.

According to Lady Berlitz herself, she reads at least 10 books each day, and as a result, is very knowledgeable in many aspects, adding to Dia and Pearl's misconception that she is a very professional tour guide. However, Lady Berlitz believes that learning through first-hand practice is much more effective and interesting, and thus constantly wishes to try out and experience everything that comes along. It is therefore no surprise that she has decided to take on both gym and contest challenges, on top of many other things she desires to explore. She easily gets along with people due to her genuine interest and enthusiasm, and is acquainted with Cynthia, who has personally taught her about battling at Eterna.

Lady Berlitz's design is based on the female protagonist of the fourth generation DS Pokemon titles, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. With the exception of slight colour tone differences and a relatively longer scarf, her outfit resembles that of her game counterpart. She wears a Diamond Ring on her left finger which signifies the ultimate toughness, and a Pearl Ring on her right which symbolizes the ultimate roundness. Her items are mostly pink in colour, including her Pokedex as well as her Poketch.

Occasionally, Lady Berlitz is seen without her scarf, and even removes her hat to put on a victory band around her forehead during training sessions with Dia and Pearl. During the Super Contest, she wears a silk dress with a laced chiffon shawl, and ties up her hair at the back into a bun. At the Great Marsh, she changed into a colland-like attire together with Dia and Pearl. Lady Berlitz's eyes are of a very faded shade of pinkish purple.

Lady Berlitz's journey began when she decided to follow her family tradition, and set out on a voyage towards the far-off Mt. Coronet summit, where she would obtain a special material to create an accessory that bears her family crest. She agreed to collect data on Sinnoh's Pokemon distribution for Prof. Rowan at the same time, and received three sets of Pokedexes, Poketches and three special Pokemon from him. Her father hired two professional bodyguards to protect her, and an accidental swap of enveloped caused Dia and Pearl to arrive at the agreed meeting place, and she mistook them as bodyguards intentionally chosen for camouflage purposes.

At Oreburgh, Piplup lost its ego when it could not sufficiently protect her from the wild Kricketots and Kricketunes, and the Lady decided to take on gym challenges to help it regain its confidence. Thanks to the training sessions with Dia and Pearl, she managed to obtain victory, and gradually became addicted to the practice as they travelled from city to city. They encountered Mars of Team Galactic at the Valley Windworks, and later met up with Cynthia at Eterna, who personally taught her about Pokemon battling. When they finally reached Mt. Coronet, they discovered that the cavern they have entered would not lead to the summit, and thus continued their journey on the eastern side of Sinnoh. However, while inside the cavern, they were ambushed by Cyrus, who decided to punish them for disturbing the peace of the sacred mountain.

At Hearthome, an accident led Lady Berlitz on stage, and when her dignity was questioned, she decided to challenge the Super Contest, and managed to emerge victorious with help of Dia and Pearl. Afterwards, her real bodyguards caught up with them at Veilstone, and the two men snatched the Lady back from Dia and Pearl, whom they believed to be her kidnappers. However, before she had a chance to formally meet her bodyguards, they were banished into another dimension by Saturn of Team Galactic.

Later, following another turmoil at Lake Valor and the Lady's gym challenge at Pastoria, the trio met up with Cynthia again at the Pokemon Mansion, who helped them clear the pack of Psyducks blocking Route 210. At Café Cabin, they learnt of Sinnoh's legend of the lakes from Cynthia's grandmother.

Info: This Piplup was one of the three special Pokemon Prof. Rowan wished to study, and Lady Berlitz picked it as her partner. Proud and dignified, it shares many traits with its trainer, and lost its ego when it failed to sufficiently protect Lady Berlitz at the Oreburgh coalmine, which led to the beginning of gym challenges. It is the Lady's major powerhouse in battling, and evolved into a Prinplup along with Roo and Chimlord at Eterna.

Info: Lady Berlitz borrowed Chimlord from Pearl to challenge the Veilstone Gym due to an accident while trying out the Wide Lens she won from the Game Corner, and Maylene specifically requested to have this Monferno as her opponent. It engaged in a close-up combat with Riolu, whose powerful fighting moves forced it to switch out. After Meditite and Chatlord were knocked out, Chimlord faced Riolu once again, and managed to win when Lady Berlitz applied the technique of focusing she learnt from playing the slot machines.

Info: Pearl lent Chatlord to Lady Berlitz along with Chimlord for her Veilstone Gym challenge, since the two Pokemon have often worked together.

With Mirror Move, it managed to turn it table around, but was knocked out by Riolu afterwards.

Fortunately, the Lady tricked Wake to think that she was drowning, and resurfaced with Roo on the other side to defeat Quagsire with a super effective Giga Drain.
