May is the female protagonist of the games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Emerald Version, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. If she is not selected as the player, she is the player's rival as May Birch.
The Generation III games deviated from the tradition of naming characters as their respective games, such as Red from Generation I and Generation II games. As such, May's counterparts include May from the anime, May from Pokémon Masters and Sapphire from the Adventures manga.
In the anime, May is a young and energetic Pokémon Coordinator who is currently travelling through various regions to compete in Pokémon Contests. She started her journey traveling throughout the Hoenn region accompanying Ash Ketchum and Brock, along with her brother Max. On the way to the Grand Festival, she met Harley and Drew. When Ash and Brock left for Sinnoh, she goes to Johto alone without Max. She appears in a few episodes of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl where she traveled to Sinnoh to compete in the Wallace Cup. She reappears in a flashback in "The Dream Continues!".
