====Pre-series====
Max grew up at [[Petalburg City]] in the [[Hoenn]] region with his parents, [[Caroline]] and Petalburg [[Gym Leader]] [[Norman]], and older sister, {{an|May}}. Max also looks up to his father and hoped to become a Pokémon Trainer just like him someday.

=====Before traveling with Ash=====
Max first appeared in ''[[AG003|There's no Place Like Hoenn]]''. He was inside the [[Petalburg Gym]] when {{an|May}} returned home with {{Ash}}. When he saw Ash, he claimed that he was the [[Gym Leader]] and questioned Ash about the [[Silver Conference]], saying that he had watched the tournament live when Ash was a participant and was not impressed with his performance. As the two began to bicker over how Ash could have won his {{pkmn|battle}} against {{jo|Harrison}}, May arrived with her parents and revealed that [[Norman]] was the actual Gym Leader instead of Max, leaving Ash irritated. Max watched the match between Norman and Ash until it was interrupted by {{TRT}}. He went after Team Rocket and fell for their pit traps when he found {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Later, with Norman and Caroline's permission, he decided to join Ash and May when they were setting off to [[Petalburg Woods]].

Max met [[Doppelgänger|a lookalike]] with the [[Max (AG049)|same name]] as him in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. Both of them were fighting when the brown-haired one criticized the green-haired Max about how only skilled Trainers can handle {{TP|May|Skitty}} as he thought that the Skitty was his. Max met up with the brown-haired Max by the lake when a {{p|Surskit}} was dancing around there. May suggested to both Maxes that they should be friends but it resulted in them fighting. When Team Rocket arrived with their goal in catching Surskit for their {{an|Giovanni|boss}}, the green-haired Max and the brown-haired one went off and found Surskit as it ran away. They found it in a new water spring located in the forest. When Team Rocket returned to capture the Surskit, both Maxes worked together to take on the trio and Surskit finished them off. After Team Rocket's defeat, both Maxes became friends and the brown-haired Max promised the green-haired one that he will become a Trainer someday.

In ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]'', Max and {{ashfr|the gang}} went to a mansion. He separated from the group after he got into a sibling rivalry with May when they both accused each other of ending up in the mansion. When Max was still upset about May, a {{p|Shuppet}} covered him with red aura and Max noticed it. They played with each other and Shuppet showed Max a secret room containing a playground. Still mad about May, Max had Shuppet play a prank on Ash, May, and Brock by lifting up items in the kitchen when the three were headed there. When Team Rocket was about to get May's Torchic, Max blocked their way until May arrived. Max stood back as May took things from there with her Torchic and was about to get crushed by a falling shelf until Shuppet saved them by lifting the shelf.

Max found an injured {{p|Ralts}} in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. He took it back to the campsite where {{AP|Snorunt}} successfully cheered it up using [[Ash's hat]] and Max's glasses. Max took Ralts to a [[Pokémon Center]] after Brock pointed out that Ralts was running a {{DL|Illness in the Pokémon world|fever}}. While Ash, May, and Brock were battling Team Rocket while they were attempting to steal Ralts for their boss, Max made a run for the Pokémon Center with Snorunt tagging along. Along the way, Max dealt with Team Rocket again but they were stopped by Ralts's friends, a {{p|Kirlia}} and a {{p|Gardevoir}}. Max explained to them about Ralts's condition but Kirlia was about to attack him until Ralts protected him with {{m|Safeguard}} despite being in worse condition. Seeing that Ralts was willing to trust Max, Kirlia and Gardevoir {{m|teleport}}ed away. Max finally arrived in a Pokémon Center and reunited with Ash, May, and Brock. Max was happy to see that Ralts was healed up. However, he was sad to say goodbye to it after it left with Kirlia and Gardevoir.

However, before Ralts left with Kirlia and Gardevoir, the two embraced and Max promised to return for it one day when he was old enough to become a Trainer.

In ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[AG172|2]]'', Max went with the group and [[Solana]] to a cave where they found out about a meteorite relating to {{an|Deoxys}}. Max was willing to communicate with it and Deoxys took him and {{MTR}} to [[Deoxys's unnamed world|another dimension]]. Deoxys possessed Meowth as it explained to Max that it was scared during the space flight. Deoxys then explained to Max about the meteor landing and outer space, and that it was alone without a friend to hangout with. When Ash and his friends arrived in the cave again, [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Sceptile}}, [[May's Combusken]], and [[Brock's Marshtomp]] signaled their arrival and Max was happy to see them again. When Deoxys battled the group outside the cave, it caused some friction inside the alternate dimension that made Max and Meowth bounce around. However, they were able to get out with the help of May and [[Jessie]]. After the battle, Deoxys possessed Meowth again where it thanked Max for everything and fled off, wanting to explore the planet even more.

At the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', May announced that she wished to travel to the [[Johto]] [[region]] alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He arrived home in [[Petalburg City]] where he took lessons from his father and helped to look after the [[Gym]] Pokémon.

Another example occurred in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', when May asked {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to "get rid of the problem," referring to the large pile of candy in the room. Jirachi, who was reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed May away, which suggests that Max had been thinking that May was the real problem. Despite their arguments, the two siblings care for each other very much.

The question of Max's [[starter Pokémon]] was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Among the Hoenn starters, he said that he would have chosen a {{p|Treecko}}. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he commented that he could really receive anything. Not knowing who his starter would be led to some of the conflict with his [[doppelgänger]], whose name was also {{OBP|Max|AG049}}, in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. At the end of that episode, he stated that Max is lucky that he already knows the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with.

Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to demonstrate that he could be responsible for a Pokémon, he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{AP|Snorunt}}. When Max and Ralts parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a Trainer.

Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s, such as the ones with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} and [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]]. When he battles, he focuses on [[Status move|defensive moves]] such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Defense Curl}} instead of offensive, [[damage]]-dealing moves.

Ash and Max noted that Shroomish was in the city instead of the forest, where its kind normally would live. Figuring that it might have been separated from its Trainer, they decided that they should take it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Max took out a handkerchief and tied it around the top of Shroomish's head as a gift. The gift made Shroomish very happy. Max picked up Shroomish and they headed off.
