Max (Japanese: マサト Masato) is the son of Norman and Caroline and May's younger brother. Max traveled with Ash Ketchum, Brock, and his sister through the Hoenn and Kanto regions. He is characterized by his knowledge of Pokémon in general but has little experience in actually handling them.
When May and Max first began traveling with Ash and Brock, Max was too young to own Pokemon, but had participated in a few battles. He was also the holder of the PokéNav for the group and became the navigator while traveling with them.
As of now, it is unknown what has happened to Max after leaving the group. But it can be assumed that after May went off to Johto he returned to Petalburg City and is currently living with his parents until he can start his own journey.
