* Max and Jirachi, the pair are very heartwarming and adorable.
--> '''Jirachi:''' Max!
--> '''Max:''' Huh?
--> '''Jirachi:''' I'm gonna miss you! We'll be best, best friends, forever and ever.
* And when Butler reforms and is reunited with Diane.
* Every time May sings her lullaby.
** The first time, May sees Max has fallen asleep, and she strokes his hair gently, causing Max to call out for his mother. May smiles gently and sings her lullaby, explaining that their mother used to sing it.
** When it's Max's last night with Jirachi, and May tells him to get to sleep, Max tells Jirachi they'll just pretend to be asleep, and then they'll play. May clearly feels bad for Max, but she knows he needs his sleep, so she begins gently singing her lullaby. Max is sound asleep in about a minute.
* When Max puts his life in danger, the moment he gets back, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther May asks him if he's okay, then hugs him tight.]]
--> '''May:''' [[BigSisterInstinct I was]] ''[[BigSisterInstinct really worried]]'' [[BigSisterInstinct about you!]]
* When Max was feeling bad at the thought of losing Jirachi, Ash was able to cheer him up by mentioning a "special friend", a charmingly obvious reference to Misty [[note]]though with hindsight, he may have also been talking about Serena[[/note]].
--> '''Ash:''' A good friend left me and, I miss her, every day... but I... I know we'll always be friends forever!
