Max

Max is the brother of May in the anime. He has not yet received a Pokémon because he is underage, but is part of adventures with Ash, Brock and May. He also pulls Brock`s ear when he is talking to a pretty women (similar style of Barbie dolls), similar to the way Misty did in Kanto and Johto, and the way his Croagunk poison jabs him in Sinnoh.

History
Max is a genius in the theory of Pokémon training, but was too young to receive a Pokémon when he first appeared. Both May and Max are the children of Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City, and his wife Caroline. The two have a very close relationship. They often get upset with each other, but when they are in dangerous situations they try to protect each other, especially May. She sometimes gets angry with Max because he knows a lot about Pokémon and the trainer is being annoyed by not knowing the basics of training or Pokémon. By his knowledge many convinced that it is the son of Petalburg Gym Leader, and he decided to travel with Ash and May to see even more of the Pokemon and then start as an excellent coach. When Ash arrives at the gym without May in Petalburg City, met with little Max who was surprised to meet a trainer who he had watched on television only weeks ago, through participation in the Johto League Silver Conference. But he also mocked him for losing in the quarterfinals of the tournament. He also criticized the Pokémon May chose, Torchic, saying he would have chosen a Treecko. He has an attitude that makes him look like the tiny smart alack. Max's PokéNav charges, which belongs to May. In the following episodes, when accompanying Brock, Max makes a habit of pulling Brock's ear when he sees and talks to a pretty girl, as did Misty in early seasons, since Max make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances. In the movie Jirachi: Wish Maker, Jirachi partnered with Max, becoming his first Pokémon. In the tenth season, Max and his parents watched May compete in the Wallace Cup.
