Max: Difference between revisions

In ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]'', Max went off to find [[Nicholai]] when he insulted Norman after defeating May. He brought along a pile of {{Berries}} which attracted the {{p|Zigzagoon}}'s attention. They got angry when Max ran out of Berries and Ash, May, {{an|Brock}}, and Nicholai arrived to save Max. When Nicholai led the Zigzagoon away from the group, Max apologized for his actions earlier.

Max took a liking to {{OBP|Katrina|AG011}}'s {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''. Seeing that Katrina owned three {{p|Mightyena}}, Max attempted to get Poochyena to [[Evolution|evolve]]. He {{pkmn|training|trained}} it with May's Torchic but was unsuccessful due to Torchic attacking both Max and Poochyena. Max then ran off with Poochyena after Ash told him that some Pokémon are happy the way they are. When Poochyena was caught by Team Rocket, Max encouraged it to bite through the net to free itself and the other Pokémon as well. Afterwards, Poochyena was able to evolve into Mightyena.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School!]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s {{pkmn|Trainer's School}} where he battled against {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}}'s {{p|Magby}} using a {{p|Poliwag}}. He used the strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}}, but this backfired when Magby's repeated attacks began to wear Poliwag down.

Max met a [[Doppelgänger|look-alike]] of his who has 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.

Max received three cameo appearances in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, triggered by May's brief return for the [[Wallace Cup]] arc; during a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' and watching May on television in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''. He also appeared in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, in a flashback in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

|vaen2note=When Speaking telepathically

|desc=Max first heard {{p|Ralts}} calling out to him telepathically. He then found it near a lake and it was very sick. Max insisted on taking Ralts to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]], with [[Ash's Snorunt]]. He convinced Ralts's family, {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Gardevoir}}, that he would help Ralts. He eventually reached the Pokémon Center, where Ralts made a full recovery from pneumonia. When {{TRT}} tried to steal Ralts, it blasted them away with a powerful Psychic. Afterwards, Kirlia and Gardevoir arrived to take back Ralts, but it did not want to leave Max and wanted to go with him. Max promised that he would return for it when he is old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. It has not been seen since.

|desc=Max borrowed {{p|Poliwag}} when he attended [[Pokémon Trainer's School]]. Max found it under a bench and returned it to [[Roxanne]], who said it was {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}}'s, but he was afraid of touching it. Later, when {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}} accidentally stepped on Poliwag's tail, it sparked a fight between Tommy and Max. In battle practice, Max then used Poliwag against Tommy's {{p|Magby}}.

* Although Max took {{an|Misty}}'s role of pinching {{an|Brock}}'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he didn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi!]]''. However, he did drag Brock by the pants once in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''.
