Yanase Berlitz (Japanese: ヤナセ・ベルリッツ Yanase Berlitz) is a recurring character in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

Character

Yanase is a member of the house of Berlitz where she is the wife of Mr. Berlitz and the mother of Platinum. Additionally, she is a scientist working for the Pokémon Association.

History

Yanase Berlitz first appears in the Ruby & Sapphire arc in a flashback. She was one of the scientists involved with the attempt to create an artificial Green Orb to control Rayquaza in order to prevent any future disasters that would come about if Kyogre and Groudon were awakened. When a Salamence broke into the lab and started rampaging, Rayquaza was freed from its cage, and the laboratory was destroyed. Yanase and the other injured scientists were found by Norman, who had fought Rayquaza shortly after it escaped.

Afterward, Yanase decided to abandon the project and threw the last remaining Green Orb core into a lake. Emerald would later come across the core and wore it as an accessory on his head.

Yanase officially debuts in the Diamond & Pearl arc. She is first seen out on sea, talking to her assistant about the traditions of her family. As they talk, Yanase gets a call from Platinum over the Pokégear. Yanase tells Platinum that she found information on where her original bodyguards, Paka and Uji, where sent to after being defeated by Team Galactic. Yanase tells Platinum that they may have been sent to the Distortion World.

Later in the Platinum arc, Yanase meets with Bebe and Daisy Oak at hospital in the Sinnoh Pokémon Association headquarters. She and Daisy reveal that the Platinum's Pokémon have developed Pokérus. At the end of the eighth chapter, Yanase appears before Professor Rowan and Mr. Berlitz at Sunyshore City. She tells the two that she and Platinum will be happy to help them in their research.
