In {{game|Emerald}}, Maxie tries again to dry Mt. Chimney's lava pool via the meteorite from Meteor Falls, but this time he is looking for Groudon inside the volcano. After this first, unsuccessful attempt, Maxie sends Team Magma members to make [[Team Magma Hideout|a secret hideout]] inside the volcano, where he finally awakens Groudon using the Blue Orb stolen at Mt. Pyre. However he loses the control over the legendary Pokémon. Later Team Magma raids the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], trying to use the rocket fuel to make Mt. Chimney erupt. The protagonist comes just in time to stop him, but as [[Tabitha]] is teaming up with Maxie, {{Steven}} is forced to team up with the player to stop Team Magma. When defeated a third time, Maxie sees the error of his ways, later disbanding Team Magma and attempting to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight. | In {{game|Emerald}}, Maxie tries again to dry Mt.

Maxie's role in the games differs slightly. In Ruby and Emerald, Maxie is regularly disdainful and resentful for the player's constant interference throughout, choosing to flee often rather than further justify or persuade the player of their team's sincerity. Even in the end, upon returning the Blue Orb, he simply states that nature is not for humanity's interference in any regard, before saying a final farewell to the player. In Emerald, he stops to come back towards the player, but is unable to get past first addressing them, either out of respect or guilt. In Omega Ruby, Maxie's character is vastly expanded upon. A calculating strategist, he still maintains a cold demeanor and sense of overconfidence, but carries with him a distinct respect for the player as well, recognizing them as part of humanity's future, and is increasingly impressed with both their willpower and strength. Upon the defeat of Primal Groudon, this respect evolves into a profound affection for the player, entrusting him with both the Red Orb, and eventually his [[Cameruptite]], as well as free entrance to visit their hideout. He also resolves to stay and reform Team Magma's ideals for benevolent purposes, rather than disappearing forever out of shame. | Maxie's role in the games differs slightly.

In Omega Ruby, the player once again squares off against Maxie, who has defeated Team Aqua's leader [[Archie]] in battle. Upon defeating him, Maxie jovially congratulates the player for their perseverance before preparing to awaken Groudon. However, [[Tabitha]], who has learned of Groudon's potential risk to the world's natural balance, suddenly dashes in begging Maxie to stop, to which the Magma Leader disdainfully dismisses as part of his rumored attempt to usurp him in leadership. Awakening Groudon, the beast suddenly bursts through the cave's surface, and the Drought ability begins to parch Hoenn drastically. At first, Maxie is delighted, anticipating his plans to be finally in fruition. However, he soon finds himself horrified to discover that not only are the levels of sun hotter than he anticipated, but that activating Groudon's Desolate Land ability could push the heat to unbearably lethal levels for all above the surface. Guilt-ridden, he heads to Sootopolis to meet the player there, and expresses a profound apology for his hubris. Entrusting the player with saving them, he has Tabitha equip them with the [[Magma Suit]] to endure the magma's heat in the center of the Cave of Origin and to communicate with the player upon meeting Groudon. | In Omega Ruby, the player once again squares off against Maxie, who has defeated Team Aqua's leader [[Archie]] in battle.
