May (ハルカ, Haruka?)
Voiced by: Kaori Suzuki (Japanese), Veronica Taylor (4Kids, English), Michele Knotz (TPCI, English),
She is the 10-year-old daughter of the Petalburg City Gym Leader, Norman, and sister of Max. She meets Ash Ketchum in Hoenn and starts traveling with him after obtaining her first Pokémon, Torchic. She originally dislikes Pokémon, but soon takes interest in 포켓몬스터 Contests. She has an interest in cute Pokémon, as an indicator of her girliness, and her 포켓몬스터 each have a cute feature. After entering contests she soon develops rivalries with other contest participants, Drew (her main rival who often assists her and gives helpful 조언 even while having a tendency to be somewhat insulting), Harley, and Jessie of Team Rocket, and goes on to win many contests. While Ash and Brock choose to travel to Sinnoh, May decides to follow her rivals to Johto instead. However, she visits Ash, Brock, and Dawn in Sinnoh sometime later to participate in the Wallace Cup. After narrowly losing to Dawn in the Wallace Cup Finals, she leaves the group to continue her journey in Johto. May replaces Misty as a primary character in the Advanced Generation seasons, and makes a guest appearance in Battle Dimension.
