===As the protagonist===

If May is selected as the player character, she starts her {{pkmn|journey}} moving from her home in [[Johto]] to her new home in the town of {{to|Littleroot}} in [[Hoenn]]. After saving [[Professor Birch]] from a [[wild Pokémon]], she is given one of the three starters of the Hoenn [[region]]. May develops a close bond with {{ga|Brendan}}, and eventually [[Wally]], who both act as her rivals. May goes on to gather the eight Badges of Hoenn, stop the plans of [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|AS}}/[[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}}{{sup/3|E}}{{sup/6|OR}} and conquer the Pokémon League all before going off to face the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}{{sup/3|E}}/[[Battle Maison]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}.

===As a non-playable character===

If May is not selected as the player, she is helping her dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. She is also the player's rival and friend. Along with Brendan (when playing as May), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their starter Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place at [[Lilycove City]].
