May's Venusaur (Japanese: ハルカのフシギバナ Haruka's Fushigibana) was the fourth Pokémon caught by May during her travels through Hoenn. She was captured as a Bulbasaur along the way to Fortree City in a place known as the Forbidden Forest. As a Bulbasaur, she is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō in the Japanese version, and by Lindsey Warner in English.

Bulbasaur was captured in Grass Hysteria, although she had been featured in the series opening, Challenger!!, for a short while before that. May was kidnapped by a hungry Skarmory and ended up lost in a place called the Forbidden Forest, a preserve for Template:Type2 Pokémon. There, she met a clumsy Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. Bulbasaur warmed up to May after she saved the little Grass-type from a fall. The other Grass-type Pokémon acted very hostile, though, and repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to Venusaur, the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her.

As a Bulbasaur, she was distinctive from Ash's Bulbasaur in two ways. One, she had a gentler personality and a pair of heart-shaped spots on her forehead. She is fond of flowers, and once was almost carried away when she jumped into the back of a moving flower truck. Her second main distinction from Ash's was her knowledge of the move Petal Dance as opposed to Ash's Bulbasaur's use of the technique SolarBeam.

She became friends with Ash's Bulbasaur when Ash brought it to Hoenn temporarily in Hokey Pokéballs!, and further bonded with it in The Right Place at the Right Mime, when May decided to leave her at Professor Oak's ranch. Eventually, after journeying to Johto, May got Bulbasaur back from Oak, and during her time away from Ash, she evolved twice into Ivysaur and Venusaur.

Some fans believe that she may have fallen in love with Ash's Bulbasaur during their time together. Whatever the case, it is unknown how their relationship will play out now that May's Venusaur is of a different evolutionary level and size.

Trivia

  • May capturing her Bulbasaur in a preserved location for Grass-type Pokémon may be a reference to Ash's Bulbasaur who was captured in the Hidden Village in Kanto.
  • Like Ash from Kanto has Sceptile, a fully starter Pokémon from Generation III, May from Hoenn has Venusaur, the fully-evolved Grass-starter from Generation I.
  • The seed in her flower identifies Venusaur as a female.
  • Like Vincent's Meganium is to the Legend of Thunder cast, May's Venusaur is the only starter Pokémon owned by a member of the main cast that is seen in its final form and unevolved form, but never in its middle form.
