Biography

Max is May's younger brother, however unlike his sister, he has always been into Pok�mon and wants to become a Pok�mon Trainer when he comes of age. However, even though he is young, he still knows a lot about Pok�mon and has managed to befriend many of them. With this knowledge, he did manage to convince trainers that he was the Petalburg Gym Leader, a position that his father actually holds, but that claim always fell through when it came to Pok�mon Battling due to the fact that he does not have any Pok�mon. From this knowledge, he decided to travel with Ash & May so that he could learn even more so he can start out as an excellent Pok�mon Trainer. Max can be a little geeky at times but really cares for Pok�mon and for his sister.
