Canalave City first appeared in A Big Stink Over Stunky when Professor Rowan and Mr. Berlitz arrived there for an academic conference at the Canalave Library.
In Drifting Drifblim, Mr. Bertliz was approached by the Advanced level Grunt, who claimed that Team Galactic had kidnapped his daughter , using a photograph of her as evidence, and saying that her bodyguards, Paka and Uji, had been dealt with. For her release, the Grunt demanded 1.5 billion to be used for the construction of the Galactic Bomb, despite the fact that Team Galactic didn't actually have Platinum.
After hearing of Professor Rowan and Mr. Berlitz's disappearance in Brash Bronzong I, Platinum headed to Canalave City alongside and , receiving a ride there from Fantina's Drifblim. Soon after arriving, Platinum heard her father's voice and followed it to the Canalave Gym, where she was challenged by Byron, who considered her, Diamond, and Pearl as intruders for having barged into the Gym in the middle of the night. At first, Platinum didn't want to fight him, but after seeing her father and Professor Rowan being trapped in a transparent cube behind Byron, she assumed he was responsible for their disappearance and fought harder, quickly defeating Byron's two .
After seeing Platinum's Gym Badges, Byron realized he had been wrong about her and explained that the Advanced level Grunt had trapped Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan inside the cube after getting the ransom money. As the cube had started to wear off over time, Platinum was able to talk with her father, who was confused when she referred to Diamond and Pearl as her bodyguards. Diamond and Pearl admitted that they were not actually her bodyguards, with her intended bodyguards having been sent to another world in Veilstone City. At first, Platinum was mad at them for having lied to her, but eventually, she came to realize that she too had lied to her friends on multiple occasions in the past, and apologized to them.
