If May is selected as the player character she starts her journey moving from her home in Johto to her new home in the town of Littleroot in Hoenn. After saving Prof. 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 {{ga|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 Battle Frontier.

:''"<sc>Pokémon</sc> fully restored! Items ready, and... Huh? Huh? Who... who are you?... Oh, you're {{player|<player>}}. So your move was today. Um... I'm <sc>May</sc>. Glad to meet you! I... I have this dream of becoming friends with <sc>Pokémon</sc> all over the world. I... I heard about you, <player>, from my dad, <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>. I was hoping you would be nice, <player>, and that we could be friends. Oh, this is silly, isn't it? I...I've just met you, <player>. Eheheh... Oh, no! I forgot! I was supposed to help Dad catch some wild <sc>Pokémon</sc>! <player>, I'll catch you later! "''

:''"Let’s see... The <sc>Pokémon</sc> found on <sc>Route 103</sc> include... Oh, hi, <player>! ...Oh, I see, my dad gave you a <sc>Pokémon</sc> as a gift. Since we’re here, let’s have a quick battle! I’ll give you a taste of what being a trainer is like."''

:''"I think I know why my dad has an eye out for you now. I mean, you just got that <sc>Pokemon</sc> but it already likes you. You might be able to befriend any kind of <sc>Pokémon</sc> easily. Well, it’s time to head back to the Lab."''

:''"Hi, <player>, long time no see! While I was searching for other <sc>Pokémon</sc>, my <sc>Pokémon</sc> grew stronger. So... How about a little battle?"''

:''"<player>! Long time no see! Oh? While I was visiting the hot springs, you got the <sc>Lavaridge Gym Badge</sc>. You must have caught some good <sc>Pokémon</sc>... No, I guess you raised some. I guess it would be okay for you to have this."''

:''"With those <sc>[[Go-Goggles]]</sc>, you'll have no trouble getting through the desert near <sc>{{rt|111|Hoenn}}</sc>. But, wow, <player>... Challenging <sc>Gyms</sc>... You're trying hard because you don't want to lose to me, I bet! <player>, I think I should challenge your dad in <sc>{{gy|Petalburg}} Gym</sc>. <player>, see you again!"''

:''"... ... ... ... ...I remember the battle I had with you, <player>, on <sc>Route 103</sc>. That battle helped you become this strong, <player>, didn't it?"''

:''"Huh? Who... Who are you?... Oh, you're <{{player}}>. So your move was today. Um... I'm <sc>May</sc>. Glad to meet you! I... I have this dream of becoming friends with <sc>Pokémon</sc> all over the world. I... I heard about you, <player>, from my Dad, <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>.

:''"<sc>Pokémon</sc> fully restored! Items ready, and..."''

:''"Let’s see... The <sc>Pokémon</sc> found on <sc>Route 103</sc> include...

Oh, hi, <player>! ...Oh, I see, my dad gave you a <sc>Pokémon</sc> as a gift. Since we’re here, let’s have a quick battle! I’ll give you a taste of what being a Trainer is like."''

:''"Oh, by the way, I passed Mr. Briney in [[Petalburg Woods]]. I guess he's on his way home to his cottage by the sea. How's your <sc>Pokédex</sc> coming along, <player>? Mine's looking pretty decent! So... How about a little battle?"''

:''"Oh, by the way, Mr. Briney, who I just passed... <Player>, you just moved here so you might not know this, but Mr. Briney was once a revered seafarer."''

:''"Hi, <player>, long time no see! While I was searching for other <sc>Pokémon</sc>, my <sc>Pokémon</sc> grew stronger. So... How about a little battle?"''

:''"<Player>! Long time no see! Oh? While I visited the hot springs, you got the Lavaridge Gym Badge. You must have collected good <sc>Pokémon</sc>... No, I believe you raised some. I guess it would be okay for you to have this."''

:''"With those [[Go-Goggles]], you'll have no trouble getting through the desert near {{rt|111|Hoenn}}. But, wow, <player>... Challenging Gyms... You're trying hard because you don't want to lose to me, I bet! <Player>, I think I should challenge your dad in Petalburg Gym. See you again!"''

::'''No''': ''"Oh, why? <Player>, haven't you been raising your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? That's not a very good showing as a Trainer..."''

:''"Hi, <player>! I was just in <sc>Pacifidlog</sc> a little while ago. I saw a giant green <sc>Pokémon</sc> flying high in the sky. I... I've never seen anything like it. I wonder what it was. Is this maybe a major discovery?"''

:''"<Player>! Here's some advice before you challenge the {{pkmn|Champion}}... Huh? What, what, what? <Player>... Could it be that... It's already over?"''

:''"Groan... I'm just joking! That's okay! That's the rule! <Player>! Honestly, congratulations!"''

:''"<Player>, after this... What are you going to do? Are you going to keep battling and sharpening your skills? Or are you going to try filling the [[National Pokédex]]? I'm staying here to help the <sc>Prof</sc>."''

:''"There! Ready for action! My dad asked me to come to this island to survey some Pokémon that supposedly lives here. But with all these weirdos decked out in red and blue trying to go after the local Pokémon, I couldn't just stand back and watch, you know? But there's a couple of guys ahead who seem way stronger than the two we just faced... I'd guess they're the bosses or something... I tried to fight them, but me and my team didn't stand a chance... But you and your Pokémon, Orlando... You might be able to win where I couldn't. Don't push it too hard, though. Cross your heart, OK?"''

:''"Your Pokémon really are strong, Orlando. I had a head start on you as a Trainer, but you... You're just too good for me... Just kidding!"''

:''"Looks like we can get out here. But I wonder if there are more bad guys..."''

:''"Pokémon fully restored, items all ready and... Huh?! Who...are you? ... Oh! You must be <player>! Your move was today, huh? Well, I'm May! Glad to meet you! I...I actually have this dream friend with Pokémon all over the world. And then when Dad—oh, I mean Professor Birch—told me about you moving here <player>... Well, I was hoping you would be nice and we could be friends. ...B-but that's just silly, isn't it? I've just met you. Right, <player>? So what am I talking about... Hee hee... Oh no! I forgot! I was supposed to be going out to help Dad catch some wild Pokémon! <player>, I'll see you later!"''

:''"Ughhh... Owwww... Oh, wibble... It’s not that big of a deal, Mom. She just knocked me down a bit... Yowch! That stings! Oh! <player>! You’re all right, huh? ...That’s a relief. It all happened so fast that I couldn’t do a thing, but... Some [[Zinnia|strange woman]] came in my window, upstairs... And then she... She took my [[Key Stone]] from me... I tried to fight her off with my team, but... She was really strong... I didn’t stand a chance... I think I heard her muttering under her breath as she left, though... Something like “Petalburg’s next...” ...be careful. I’m really happy you came to visit me, but... I’m sorry... I think I’ll have to sit this one out."''

:''"Let's see... On Route 103, I found this Pokémon...and this one...and this one, too... Oh! Hey, <player>! What's that? Oh! My dad gave you a Pokémon as a gift huh? Well then, why don't we go ahead and have a quick battle? I'll give you a taste of what being a Trainer is really like!"''

* When defeated

:''"Wow! That's great! <player> you're pretty good!"''

* After being defeated

:''"It was a good battle. Thanks! Let me heal up both our parties real quick. Wow... I think I know why my dad has his eye on you now. I mean, you just got that Pokémon, and you've already got that strong of a bond. I bet you could probably befriend any kind of Pokémon you meet! Phew... I guess I'd better head back to the lab!"''

:''"Oh, wow, <player>! Now you've got a Pokédex, too! That's great. Just like me! Then here... I'll give you something, too! Some Poké Balls that you can use to catch wild Pokémon! If you catch a Pokémon in the wild and battle together with it for a while, it will grow stronger for you! Take that as a bit of advice from a more experienced Trainer like me! I'm going to get ready to head out from Littleroot soon myself. I can't wait to see what kind of Pokémon I'm going to meet... Let's both do our best on our journeys, <player>!"''

:''"<player>! This is from my dad. He said he forgot to give it to you before. The app I just added to your PokéNav Plus is called the DexNav. It can tell you lots about the Pokémon living in each area and that kind of stuff. It's a handy app to have if you're trying to catch lots of different Pokémon. All right! Guess it's about time I use the DexNav to do some more Pokémon catching myself! <player>, you should use those Poké Balls I gave you earlier to do a bit of catching, too!  

:"''<player>! Over here! See that? Right there? There's a tail sticking out! There's a Pokémon hiding there! And look here, if you check your DexNav... All right! It looks like that Pokémon knows a pretty rare move, too! <player>! Try getting closer, real nice and slow! Push lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak close to Pokémon hiding in the grass. That's what it said in a book I read! You're almost there...! Slowly...slooowly... Remember...you press lightly on the Circle Pad to sneak!''"

* After a unsuccessful sneak

:''"Heeeeeey! How's it going, <player>? Have you been using your DexNav and perfecting your sneaking skills? I hope you already checked out the DexNav's Detector Mode. It reacts to Pokémon in the area, so it's really handy! Ah! Look! Up there! Check 'em out, <player>! Those were...{{p|Beautifly}}, weren't they? I'll have to check in my DexNav later to be sure! But, wow, we already made it through Route 102, huh? I guess it's really true that time flies when you're with a friend! Oh, l-look! There's Petalburg already! <player>, your dad... He's the Gym Leader in Petalburg City, isn't he? Maybe I should try to take him on myself, once I train my Pokémon a bit more! Guess I'm off then, <player>! Let's meet up again sometime!"''

:''"So you made it here to [[Rustboro City|Rustboro]], too, <player>! It's really big here, isn't it? [[Littleroot Town|Littleroot]] can't even compare. Oh, and <player>, have you heard? There's a Pokémon Gym here, too! Once I catch a couple more Pokémon, I'll be sure to take it on with my team! See you later!"''

:''"Oh! Hey, <player>! Have you been catching lots of Pokémon? I'm doing pretty good on that front, at least. I caught so many Pokémon in [[Petalburg Woods]] that I ran out of Poké Balls! Oh yeah... And I passed Mr. Briney when I was in Petalburg Woods. Hmm. I guess he must have been on his way home to his cottage on {{rt|104}}. <player>, you just moved here so there's no way you could know, but Mr. Briney was once a highly respected seafarer."''

:''"Hey, <player>! It's been ages! Nice timing, too. I was just searching for Pokémon, you know? My dad is always going on about how nature used to be even more diverse, way back in the day. He says that there used to be way more kinds of Pokémon than there are now! So that's why we do fieldwork, him and me. We really want to find out what happened to those Pokémon in the past. On my journey up to now, I've met a lot of different Pokémon, and I think I've gotten to understand a lot of them, too. Me and my Pokémon have really grown. So... How about a little battle?"''

::''"Yikes! You're stronger than I thought you'd be!"''

::''"<player>, you've been busy training, too, haven't you? Oops! But look at us! Our teams look pretty tired. Let's get them taken care of first. And now I think you deserve a reward too! Here, this is from me! That's a Dowsing Machine. Try it out—if there's a hidden item anywhere near you, that little thing will react to tell you. Pay attention, and it'll lead you right to items! And it's fun to see all those waving bits above your head. Try it, and I but you'll be hooked! Careful—you won't be able to sneak up on Pokémon while you wear it! See you later then, <player>! Let's meet again! I hope we'll both be able to meet even more Pokémon on our journeys!"''

:''"Ah! <player>! Look! Right up there! That's Mt. Chimney! It sure is big... No more like huge... It totally takes my breath away! I'd love to take the Cable Car all the way to the top someday... Hm? Hey, <player>, don't your Pokémon seem a bit ragged around the edges? Here, let me give them a little boost! Here! Take this, too! I bet you can find all kinds of ways to use it in the mountains that lie ahead! But it won't work outside of battle if you don't have a Badge from Lavaridge Gym. Gasp! What am I doing nattering away here? I'm supposed to be on my way to Fallarbor to visit Professor Cozmo! I'm off for now, <player>, but let's battle next time!"''

:''"<player>! Gosh, where have you been hiding? I've been looking all over for you! Oh... Where did you get that thing on your wrist? That's a pretty fancy-looking bracelet... ... Wow! So that's a Mega Bracelet? And you can use it for Mega Evolution... I guess now you can keep getting even closer to your Pokémon, huh? Some guys have all the luck... But I'm not about to lose to you and some accessory! Let's see who's best in battle! Are your Pokémon all ready? Of course they are! Let's go!"''

::''"If you use {{m|Fly}}, your Pokémon will carry you back to anywhere you've been before. But you must have the [[Badge|Gym Badge]] from [[Fortree City]] to use Fly outside of battle. That's the most important bit, so don't forget! Maybe you should Fly home and visit {{to|Littleroot}} sometimes. I bet your [[mom]] worries about you, <player>... Well, till we meet again! And next time I won't lose!"''

:''"<player>! I heard on the news that things were going haywire around Sootopolis. And them I saw you on the BuzzNav, <player>! I couldn't just sit there and do nothing when I knew you were here in the thick of it, so I came flying! Bwuh?! Isn't that Team Aqua? And Team Magma?! OK, can I just say that I am, like, shocked and confused on so many levels right now? This is probably something way bigger than I can even imagine, isn't it? So I'm not even going to ask right now. I'm going to try to find what I can do the help and them I'm going to do my best with that. And I'm going to keep on hoping and believing that y-you'll be OK out there, <player>. Because... Because you... You're the best friend I have!"''

::''"I'm going to try to find what I can do to help, and then I'm going to do my best with that. And I'm going to keep on hoping and believing that you'll be OK out there, <player>. Please...give it everything you've got!"''

::''"<player>!!! It's really over, isn't it... Phew! And it's finally just the two of us again. So I've got to say...thanks for everything you've done for our region, <player>. You know, I thought we were supposed to have set out from Littleroot together, but... But you, <player>... It seems like you just keep getting further and further ahead of me... I even started to feel like you'd gone somewhere I can't even reach. It's pretty lonely, you know? Not! What would you think if I really said something like that? Hee hee! Anyway, you did something really amazing today, so try to take it easy for a while! See you later!

:''"<player>, wait! I've got some advice you've got to hear before you challenge the Champion... Huh? Wait-what? What? <player>... Could it be that... It's already over? No waaay! ... Just joking! It's OK! It's fine! Rules are rules, right? <player>! Honestly, congratulations!"''

::''"Welcome back, <player>. I just thought, you know, that since we were both here and all...that I'd wait for you. We set out on this journey together, right? So maybe we should finish it together, too. Hee hee... So...come on! Let's go home! Back to Littleroot Town!"''

:''"Here we are on Route 103 again! Wow, it’s so nostalgic, you know? Oh! Remember that pond? This is where we first battled, isn’t it? ...<player>! Could you do something for me? Come on! Let’s battle one more time! I wanna know what you saw on your journey, how you felt, and what you experienced out there. I want to understand everything about you and your Pokémon, <player>! And then... I want you to understand everything about me and mine!"''

::''"...Thanks, <player>! You really are a Champion! Meeting so many different people... And encountering so many Pokémon... It’s like... I don’t know... It’s been really, really fun! Ah! <player>! Look at that!

* In Emerald, at Lilycove City, May was seen Flying, although none of the Pokemon in her party knew Fly.
