Norman: Do you know what your starter Pokémon is going to be?
Max: Well May choose Torchic, Ash caught a Treeko and now Sceptile, So I am going to go with Mudkip.
Norman&Caroline&May: So you are basing them off what you have seen battle before.
Max: Yep I never saw Mudkip battle or perform before.
May: Makes seance. Should I tell Ash or keep it a suprice?
Max: Keep it a suprice I don't want him to be to plan ahead and come up with a plan to beat me unfair.
May: That makes sense.
Max: Yep.

Max: I am glad you are proud of me. I remember when I left after Kanto and ash in the battle frontier and you performing I was jealous. I wanted to grow up fast so I could become a trainer. I am now a trainer and now I want and my first battle I want to be against Ash, but I should practice with my classmates first. I know Ash is strong.
May: I agree I personally have not beaten him in battle.
Max: I furred maybe you can come with me today and you can help them train and learn about strategies? They never had battled against an Ice type before.
May: I am willing to do that, and what cake would you like?
Max: Chocolate please. And when did you learn how to cook or bake?
May: Ever since this year. And to make up for missing class today she gave me two choices.
Max: What are they?

Max: I don't want to see you fail so I am glad you chose to make me a cake.
May: Me too I have to take pictures of the step and send them by the end of the week.
Max: That sounds fair you are working hard so I should work hard. I do want to one day Battle Ash in the master 8 tournament.
May: One day you will. Just keep working hard no matter what and one day you will. Keep working hard and we get back I want to battle you.
