History
Pokémon the Serial: Carmine and Sapphire
When May debuted, she did not like Pokémon at all and was only interested in becoming a Pokémon Trainer then she could travel. Everyone expected her to follow in her father Norman's footsteps. However, after seeing a Pokémon Contest in All Things Bright and Beautifly!, she decided to go a Pokémon Coordinator instead. Since May initially knew almost nothing near Pokémon or attacks, Ash causeless the role of her mentor. She gradually gained experience through her journey and practice with Ash.
Every bit a Coordinator, May was able to learn more virtually Pokémon and course stronger bonds with them. In Come up What May!, afterwards winning the Fallarbor Competition, May told her Beautifly that she loved it. This is an instance of her growth — from someone who initially disliked Pokémon to someone who cared deeply for them.
With her Pokémon, May was able to come up upwards with different assail combinations to use during her Competition Battles. For case, she would employ her Combusken'south Fire Spin and her Squirtle's Chimera to create a combination of fire and h2o, dubbed "Burn down and H2o Cyclone" by Lilian, later on witnessing Tucker apply information technology confronting Ash with a combination of H2o Pulse and Fire Nail. This even fabricated a rival of hers angry, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move as May did not utilize it against him.
She also developed a love for making her own Pokéblocks with recipes that she thought up, including ones called "May'south Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: Haruka's Delicious and Haruka'southward Succulent ii). Unfortunately, the only ones who liked her "Purple Surprise" were her Munchlax and Jessie. Her "Pink Surprise" came from the recipe Professor Oak uses to make Ash's Snorlax'southward food. Thus, after May start fed information technology to her Munchlax, it was automatically fabricated full. This Pokéblock was regularly used to feed Munchlax in gild to prevent it from eating the food of others.
During her journey, she plant a rival in Drew, a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator. Drew became 1 of her primary inspirations to endeavour harder to sharpen her skills as a Coordinator. At outset, Drew had claimed that May had "no style" as a Coordinator, only by the end of May's second Contest campaign, when she defeated him in the Kanto Grand Festival, he recognized her growth and skill. Another rival of hers, Harley, is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May and has no qualms about cheating or using unfair tactics. An example of Harley'south depravity was seen in A Cacturne for the Worse, when he recorded Max telling him a story from May'due south childhood. May had been wearing a blue pond cap in the sea, and her mother had mistaken her for a Tentacool from distant and attempted to catch May with one of her Poké Balls. Harley played the recording of this story during the Izabe Island Pokémon Contest to embarrass May into losing. May was able to beat Harley in the finish, simply she claimed that she had never been more humiliated. Another example is when Harley joined forces with Squad Rocket in an try to sabotage May'southward performance with Combusken, which concluded up contributing to a more dazzling appeal.
At the Kanto Grand Festival, May also competed against Solidad, an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost in the semifinals. At the terminate of Pokémon the Series: Crimson and Sapphire, she left to compete with Drew, Harley, and Solidad in the Johto region, aiming to find her own battling manner. The determination to finish traveling with Ash was an important one for May'due south character. Considering Ash played the role of a mentor to her through most of the series, she was largely influenced by his offensive battle style. By the cease of their journey through Kanto, May had realized that an offensive way was not necessarily the best for her and for Contests. Her abiding use of dazzling attacks ultimately proved to be her downfall at the Kanto Thou Festival, when Solidad was able to recognize and counter these moves by leading May to attack and then successfully dodging. Her goal to find her own way was therefore also a goal to improve her Competition Battle skills and ultimately become a Pinnacle Coordinator.
May has Contest Passes to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto. She also has a personal theme song, I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~, performed by KAORI.. Information technology was first used as background music in Curbing the Scarlet Tide and was used multiple times afterward that during May'south Competition performances and battles. The vocal became the ending theme of the testify between Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crunch! (Part 2) and Home is Where the Start Is!.

May reappeared from Our Cup Runneth Over! to Strategy With a Grin! to participate in the Wallace Cup. During this period, she wore her game counterpart'southward outfit from Pokémon Emerald. She shared that many of her Pokémon had evolved and that she had already won iii Johto Ribbons. Dawn recognized May upon meeting her and said that some people in the Sinnoh region chosen her the "Princess of Hoenn", causing May to blush. During the Wallace Cup, May showed the new style that she had come up after leaving Ash, battling confronting Dawn'south rival Zoey and winning using her Beautifly. She made information technology all the way to the finals but narrowly lost to Dawn in the finish.
May reappeared in a picture on Brock'southward retention wall in the special episode DPS02.

Character
May is generally a very sweet and optimistic girl. She enjoys feminine and beautiful things as well as shopping. In fact, she and Brock occasionally went on shopping trips together throughout Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire. May cares most her appearance, sometimes spending and so much time in front end of the mirror that information technology caused her traveling companions to become frustrated with her, such as in The Bicker the Better. May also is interested in helping other people with their romantic issues.
Though she is mostly kind, she occasionally argues with her little blood brother, Max. The 2 had arguments since Max'due south debut episode, merely i of their most notable was in Take This Business firm and Shuppet. May'south harsh words to Max fabricated him declare that he hated May and he ran away for a portion of the episode. Even though she had been aroused, May rapidly felt guilty for hurting Max'southward feelings and became very worried that he would exist hurt on his ain. In Appointment Expectations, May revealed that she had promised her mother to e'er take care of Max on their journey. So fifty-fifty though the siblings had many quarrels, May deeply cares for her blood brother and would go to great lengths to protect him.
In Y'all Never Tin Taillow, May heard Brock used to act as a melt during Ash's journeys. As she, Max and Ash were hungry, she was the ane who asked Brock if he could prepare some food for them. If a person or a Pokémon were to steal her food she would become extremely angry, which was demonstrated numerous times. Food was one of the few things May would become aroused virtually, then it was an important tool to prove a dissimilar side to her usually cheerful character. When May returned for Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, she expressed excitement over the take a chance to consume at the Seven Stars Restaurant, but having her meal stolen made her enraged. She was afterwards shown enjoying a large cookie, in one case again affirming her love of food and sweets.
May's rage at her loss of food
When May showtime left her home, she was but interested in the traveling aspect of a Pokémon journey. This sparked one of May'south nearly memorable quirks in Hoenn, "May'southward Expeditions". Starting from A Mudkip Mission, May would occasionally make a camera lens with her fingers, pretending she was the host of a traveling show.
As mentioned, May too enjoys making Pokéblock. She outset learned about making Pokéblock in the episode Pokéblock, Stock and Drupe when she met Kelly. She learned that Kelly's female parent owned a Pokéblock shop, and May was curious about it. Kelly so taught her how to use a Drupe Blender. May's first try of making a Pokéblock was not successful, but that didn't stop her from trying. In the episode Berry, Berry Interesting, May continued to make Pokéblock, calling the event "May's Purple Surprise". However, only May'south Munchlax had taken a liking to it. Subsequently, Professor Oak had created a Pokéblock for May, which May calls "May's Pink Surprise", that is specially fabricated for Munchlax. May uses it to end her Munchlax from causing as well much trouble on many occasions.
May's Contest weep is "Take the stage!" (Japanese: ステージ・オン！ Phase On!). In the English dub, she also uses variations, such equally "On phase!"
Pokémon
The Pokémon she acquired on the course of her journeying appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the start of his own journey. At starting time, she preferred beautiful Pokémon, and dazzling techniques, but on the course of her journey, she was able to obtain Pokémon outside that preference. She has a trend to rely on luck, often using her Skitty's Assistance or her Munchlax'due south Metronome to win. Near of May's Pokémon were not caught through battle. Unlike many of Ash's friends, May has never had a consistently disobedient Pokémon.
