History Characters / PokemonTheSeriesRubyAndSapphireCast

%%* {{Shoryuken}}: Knows Sky Uppercut.

* PlayingWithFire: It knows Ember starting as a Torchic, but gains access to more powerful moves like Fire Spin as it evolves. It's hidden ability is Blaze, which activates during May's final battle with Ash.

* SignaturMove: For both, Eevee and Glaceon, it's Shadow Ball.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: Evolved into Blaziken right as ''Advanced Generation'' was hitting its finale (handily beating Team Rocket in the process), and also just in time for use against Ash and Sceptile in the unofficial Contest at Terracotta Town.

%%* BareFistedMonk: Knows Focus Punch.

%%* BreathWeapon: His Solarbeam.

%%* GreenThumb: Knows [[LightEmUp Solarbeam]].

* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Pokémon]]: Knows Ice Beam.

%%* MakingASplash

%%* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Pokémon]]: Glaceon

* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Pokémon]]: Knows Ice Beam and Ice Shard.
%%* NonElemental: Eevee

%%* SoulPower: Knows Shadow Ball.

* {{Clingy MacGuffin}}: one Battle Frontier episode had the egg's incubator briefly stuck to a rampaging Elekid's plug head. Even though Elekid removed it relatively early, it became the reason why Ash and company went after the Elekid, since they think the mon still has it.

* {{Expy}}: Drew is more than vaguely reminiscent of both ''Ruby'' and ''Sapphire'' rivals, Brendan and Wally, [[CompositeCharacter having the distinctive green hair and eyes of the latter and the confidence and attitude of the former]]. He also uses Roselia, which was one of the Pokemon on Wally's team, as a signature.

* EvilerThanThou: Inducted Team Rocket into his plots to ruin May later on, and quickly became a BadBoss as they proved ineffective. He also cowed them from using independent schemes on May, [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou putting dibs on making her suffer]]. When it was made apparent they wouldn't be joining his efforts in Johto, he blasted them off in anger before Jessie could even get out a Pokemon to fight.

* NightmareFetishist: Harley's specialty in Contests is showing off the creepy qualities of his Pokemon -- while the audience doesn't always take to his appeals, Harley himself genuinely loves them. In fact, one of the things that first fueled his hatred for May is her referring to his Cacturne as scary.

* PutOnABus: She leaves for her own journey at the end of ''Advanced Generation'', and, aside from a four-part guest appearance in ''Diamond and Pearl'', she hasn't been seen outside of flashbacks or Ash reminiscing about his companions. This is even more glaring compared to Misty, Dawn, and Iris, as they've all come back, but May still has yet to reappear.

* TheRedBaron: "The Princess of Hoenn" when she appears for the Wallace Cup.

* EvilerThanThou: Inducted Team Rocket into his plots to ruin May later on, and quickly became a BadBoss as they proved ineffective. He also cowed them when using independent schemes on May, [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou putting dibs on making her suffer]]. When it was made apparent they wouldn't be joining his efforts in Johto, he blasted them off in anger before Jessie could even get out a Pokemon to fight.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Harley goes from teaming up with Team Rocket to defeat May, to actually interrupting one of Team Rocket's schemes and proclaiming that 'the only one allowed to make [May] cry is me' by the end of the Advanced Generation series.

* EvilerThanThou: Inducted Team Rocket into his plots to ruin May later on, and quickly became a BadBoss as they proved ineffective. When it was made apparent they wouldn't be joining his efforts in Johto, he blasted them off in anger.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Solidad or Soledad?

%%* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Purple hair.

* EvilCounterpart: Although they never meet, he can be considered one for Nando from the ''Diamond & Pearl'' anime. Both are male Contest rivals with effeminate mannerisms and green color schemes, but Harley is loud, flamboyant, and LaughablyEvil while Nando is quiet, composed, and polite. They even share a voice actor in English.

* EvilIsPetty: Initiating a blood feud with a 10-year-old girl over a plate of cookies? Yeah, he qualifies.

* LawOfDisproportionateResponse: He took May's picture, pasted it in a stalker notebook, drew a frowny face/skull and crossbones next to it, and obsessed himself with defeating her for the rest of the season. Why? Because when she actually liked his cookies, she didn't like them ''enough''.

* IdenticalStranger: She (apparently) looks just like a girl that stole the last bit of Harley's lunch when he was in preschool.

%%* BareFistedMonk: Combusken and Blaziken's secondary type.

%%* {{Flight}}: Beautifly

Starting the ''Advanced'' series as a newbie trainer, May only wanted to travel the world at first. She initially disliked Pokémon before experience around them changed her mind. She aspires to be a Pokémon Coordinator, leading towards a quest [[DistaffCounterpart similar to Ash's]]. Tropes involving her include:

May's younger brother who travels with his sister and friends, even though he has no Pokémon of his own. Tropes involving him include:
[[hardline]]

The professor of the Hoenn region. He helped May get her start as a trainer by giving her a choice between Torchic, Mudkip, or Treecko. Birch exhibits the following Tropes:

* BookEnds: In his first Contest facing off against May, Drew defeats her only to lose in the finals to Robert. The Hoenn Grand Festival netted him the same results. ''And'' both events occurred in Slateport City.

May's other rival, though she doesn't consider him to be one at first. Harley decided to go after May simply because during his introduction, he offered May one of his home made cookies. May was in a rather indifferent mood that day, and she thought they were OK. They weren't bad, just OK. [[SeriousBusiness Harley never let that go.]]

* FriendlyEnemy: He can be quite affable toward his competitors outside of the Contest arena. [[BitchInSheepsClothing Of course, it's all an act.]]

* {{Foil}}: Although they never meet, he can be considered an EvilCounterpart of Nando from the ''Diamond & Pearl'' anime. Both are male Contest rivals with effeminate mannerisms and green color schemes, but Harley is loud, flamboyant, and LaughablyEvil while Nando is quiet, composed, and polite. They even share a voice actor in English.

* CharacterDevelopment: May didn't like Pokémon at first, but that changed when she got her first two Pokémon as she comes to care for them and continued to gain new ones. In ''Cruisin' for a Losin'', after pushing her newly caught Bulbasaur too hard and listening to a fellow competitor saying that the ribbon she already has is a reminder how hard her Pokémon came through for her, May realized that she won her two ribbons were because of how they came through for her and vowed to never take them for granted ever again.

** In ''Cruisin For A Losin'', May had this reaction when she realized how hard she pushed her Bulbasaur and tearfully apologized to her then ran off the stage in shame.
** In ''Take This House And Shuppet'', after saying hurtful things to Max then he said that he hated her and ran away, May showed regret for hurting her brother feelings.
