'''Maxie''' (Japanese: '''マツブサ''' ''Matsubusa'') is the head of [[Team Magma]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Magma Leader''' (Japanese: '''マグマだんリーダー''' ''Team Magma Leader'').

==In the games==
{{cleanup}}
Maxie is the head of [[Team Magma]]. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}, Maxie helps the {{player}} against [[Team Aqua]]. He does not have an active role in the storyline and cannot be battled.

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and their remakes, he first appears in the [[Oceanic Museum]] in Slateport City, trying to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, Team Magma members steal a {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it to try to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to erupt. Then, after [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/3|R}}/[[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}} raids the [[Weather Institute]], Maxie steals the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/6|OR}} from [[Mt. Pyre]]. Later, he and the Team Magma members turn up in Slateport again as Captain Stern announces a discovery he has made about [[Seafloor Cavern|a seafloor cavern]]. Team Magma promptly steals the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken {{p|Groudon}}. 

In {{game|Emerald}}, Maxie tries again to dry Mt. Chimney's lava pool via the meteorite from Meteor Falls, but this time he is looking for Groudon inside the volcano. After this first, unsuccessful attempt, Maxie sends Team Magma members to make [[Team Magma Hideout|a secret hideout]] inside the volcano, where he finally awakens Groudon using the Blue Orb stolen at Mt. Pyre. However he loses the control over the legendary Pokémon. Later Team Magma raids the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], trying to use the rocket fuel to make Mt. Chimney erupt. The protagonist comes just in time to stop him, but as [[Tabitha]] is teaming up with Maxie, {{Steven}} is forced to team up with the player to stop Team Magma. When defeated a third time, Maxie sees the error of his ways, later disbanding Team Magma and attempting to stop Groudon and Kyogre's fight.

Maxie's role in the games differs slightly. In Ruby and Emerald, Maxie is regularly disdainful and resentful for the player's constant interference throughout, choosing to flee often rather than further justify or persuade the player of their team's sincerity. Even in the end, upon returning the Blue Orb, he simply states that nature is not for humanity's interference in any regard, before saying a final farewell to the player. In Emerald, he stops to come back towards the player, but is unable to get past first addressing them, either out of respect or guilt. In Omega Ruby, Maxie's character is vastly expanded upon. A calculating strategist, he still maintains a cold demeanor and sense of overconfidence, but carries with him a distinct respect for the player as well, recognizing them as part of humanity's future, and is increasingly impressed with both their willpower and strength. Upon the defeat of Primal Groudon, this respect evolves into a profound affection for the player, entrusting him/her with both the Red Orb, and eventually his {{DL|Mega Stone|Cameruptite}}, as well as free entrance to visit their hideout. He also resolves to stay and reform Team Magma's ideals for benevolent purposes, rather than disappearing forever out of shame.

In Omega Ruby, the player once again squares off against Maxie, who has defeated Team Aqua's leader [[Archie]] in battle. Upon defeating him, Maxie jovially congratulates the player for their perseverance before preparing to awaken Groudon. However, [[Tabitha]], who has learned of Groudon's potential risk to the world's natural balance, suddenly dashes in begging Maxie to stop, to which the Magma Leader disdainfully dismisses as part of his rumored attempt to usurp him in leadership. Awakening Groudon, the beast suddenly bursts through the cave's surface, and the Drought ability begins to parch Hoenn drastically. At first, Maxie is delighted, anticipating his plans to be finally in fruition. However, he soon finds himself horrified to discover that not only are the levels of sun hotter than he anticipated, but that activating Groudon's Desolate Land ability could push the heat to unbearably lethal levels for all above the surface. Guilt-ridden, he heads to Sootopolis to meet the player there, and expresses a profound apology for his hubris. Entrusting the player with saving them, he has Tabitha equip them with the [[Magma Suit]] to endure the magma's heat in the center of the Cave of Origin and to communicate with the player upon meeting Groudon.

Upon Groudon's defeat or capture, the energy amassed in the Cave's jewels emit a green beam skyward, which casts an emerald spectrum of falling lights across the region. Maxie, profoundly affected by the experience, is at first hesitant to accept Archie's offer to start over, believing himself unworthy of redemption. However, Tabitha (in a somewhat brutally blunt moment), while agreeing with Maxie's self-assessment, nonetheless encourages him to at least try, and that atonement is a key part of responsibility, offering his continued loyalty from that point onward. Softly thanking his Admin, Maxie willingly relinquishes the Red Orb to the player, entrusting them with Groudon's Primal power, and departs with Archie to begin their mutual reformation. During the Delta Episode, Maxie is confronted in the Magma Hideout by one of his fromer grunts, [[Zinnia]], who is thieving Key Stones in order to summon and empower {{p|Rayquaza}} with Mega Evolution. When his Key Stone is stolen, he entrusts the player with his Cameruptite to stop Zinnia's apparent rampage. When the world is spared from the meteor, Maxie summons [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] to his quarters, where she tearfully apologizes for her recklessness. Shocked by the sight of his normally stoic Admin crying, Maxie agrees to forgive her on one condition...she forgive his actions and conduct, recognizing that coupled with the fallout of their plans for Groudon, drove her into despair. He explains his intent to start over the principles of Team Magma, having learned the importance of understanding and working with even those he disagrees with, to which she agrees. He welcomes the player to visit them in their hideout anytime, taking on the role of a friend to them. This friendship even extends to being available to partner with them in the [[Battle Maison]]'s Multi Battle mode.

Why on earth do you feel compelled to mess up <sc>Team Magma</sc>'s plans? <sc>Pokémon</sc>, people, all life exists on land... That's why <sc>Team Magma</sc> is trying to expand the world's landmass. Don't you agree? What we are doing is a magnificent undertaking. Well, no matter... You're young.

I can't allow an ignorant child like you to get in our way. I, <sc>Maxie</sc>, will show you the consequences of meddling!"''

*When defeated

'''Mt. Chimney'''
*Before battle
:''"The power contained in the <sc>Meteorite</sc>... By amplifying its power with this machine, <sc>Mt. Chimney</sc>'s volcanic activity will instantly intensify... Its energy will grow deep inside the crater and... Fufufu..."'' 

:''"Hm? Who are you? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I'd heard <sc>Archie</sc> bemoaning a child who's been meddling with <sc>Team Aqua</sc>'s affairs. It must be you he meant. Humph! So you're thinking of interfering with us, <sc>Team Magma</sc>?"''

:''"Now you listen. Long ago, living things used the land to live and grow. That is why land is all important! It is the cradle of all! That is why <sc>Team Magma</sc> is dedicated to the expansion of the land mass. It is for further advancement of humankind and <sc>Pokémon</sc>! And for that, we need the power of what sleeps within this mountain..."''

:''"Oh! There was no need for you to learn that much. But, no matter! I'll teach you the consequences of meddling in our grand design!"'' 

*When defeated
:''"What?! I, <sc>Maxie</sc>, was caught off guard?"''

*After being defeated
:''"But, enough. I will back off this time. But don't think that this is the last you've seen of <sc>Team Magma</sc>. Fufufu... Even without the <sc>Meteorite</sc>, if we obtain the <sc>Orb</sc>... Fufufu...

'''Magma Hideout'''
*Before battle
:''"<sc>Groudon</sc>... Nothing could awaken you from your sleep bathed in magma... This <sc>Blue Orb</sc> is what you sought. Wasn't it? I have brought you the <sc>Blue Orb</sc>. Let its shine awaken you! And show me... Show me the full extent of your power!"''

:''"<sc>Groudon</sc>! What's wrong? Wasn't the <sc>Blue Orb</sc> the key? <sc>Groudon</sc>! Where have you gone..."''

:''"Oh, so it was you? I've seen you poking around uninvited here and there... I get it now! You must have pulled a cheap stunt!"''

*When defeated
:''"What makes you so adept at handling <sc>Pokémon</sc>?"''

*After being defeated
:''"There has to be some reason why <sc>Groudon</sc> fled... That's what you're trying to say, aren't you? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Humph... You think I didn't know that? With <sc>Groudon</sc> gone, there is no longer any need for this blasted volcano. I am going after <sc>Groudon</sc>, so this is where we part!"''

'''Mossdeep Space Center'''
:''"Clear out of the way! Don't you dare interfere!"''

*Before battle
:''"Fufufu... Since you're so curious, you deserve an explanation. We're going to jettison the entire load into <sc>Mt. Chimney</sc>! With <sc>Groudon</sc> gone, we have no need for that slag heap of a mountain! So we'll use the fuel's power to make the volcano erupt! It will be savage!"''

*When defeated
:''"All I want... I just want to expand the land mass..."''

*After being defeated
:''"We failed to make the volcano erupt... We failed to control <sc>Groudon</sc> after we had awoken it... Is our goal to expand the land misguided? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... If... If we, <sc>Team Magma</sc>, are wrong... ... ... ... ... ... Then might <sc>Team Aqua</sc>'s goal to expand the sea also be equally misguided?"''

:''"All right... We will give up on the fuel... There appear to be more important matters that I must examine..."''

:''"<Player>, don't say anything. I know that I have no right to be critical of <sc>Archie</sc>... But the way things are now, I doubt that we humans will be capable of doing anything about it.

:''"So the super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc> weren't only <sc>Groudon</sc> and <sc>Kyogre</sc>... After all our frantic scheming and fruitless efforts, that one <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s simple action puts everything right again as if nothing had happened... Fu... Fuhahaha..."''

====Pokémon Omega Ruby====
'''Oceanic Museum'''
:''"Now here I was wondering how you could be held up in the simple act of seizing a case. Do I take it you are being stymied by this child?"''
:''"Hmm. Though you are but a child, your eyes tell me of your fierce determination. My heart is pounding in my chest... Yes, I think I can see why my lowly Grunts could not stand one minute against you. I am called Maxie. I stand as the head of Team Magma, a noble organization whose goal is to propel humanity to even greater heights of progress and evolution. Indeed. And you are one of the young persons who may shape our society's future. Considering that fact, I believe I shall educate you in the ways of the world. The land... It is the stage upon which humanity stands. The land exists so we humans might continue onward and upward, stepping into the future... For us to continue growing and evolving, humans require a grand stage upon which to stand. A land upon which we can stride forward... A land we can explore...develop...exploit... This is the basis for the growth of all human endeavor. That is why we, Team Magma, must increase the landmass of the world! Believe that this will lead to a future of eternal happiness for humanity... And consequently for all life!"''
:''"Humph. I suppose the concept may still be too difficult for a child to comprehend. Is that the case? At least I have tried to open your mind. I will take my leave for now. I suggest you take care that you never again stand against Team Magma. I will not be so lenient next time. I implore you to remember that."''
:''"We are done here."''

'''Mt. Chimney'''
*Before battle
:''"The power contained in the Meteorite... If we merge the explosive energy contained within the planet's core with the Meteorite's power..."''
:''"I remember those eyes. And the indomitable will that seems to burn behind them. Ahhh. Now I recall. You are the one who defied us at Slateport's Oceanic Museum. And, your presence here tells me that you have defeated Tabitha. Yes, I see now that the stirring of interest I felt was not misplaced. Hmph. You show true promise. Fine. I will attempt to educate you."''
:''"Thousands of years ago, there lived a most powerful being that was said to be capable of creating new lands on the planet. The power which we in Team Magma seek— This power, which can expand the available landmass, belongs to a legendary and super-ancient Pokémon. Though now it slumbers, having lost the source of its power and been trapped in a deep sleep. So what is it that we must do to awaken this slumbering giant? Our research has led us here, to Mt. Chimney. Yes, here...to this very Meteorite. If we create the right conditions, we should find ourselves able to alter this Meteorite's qualities. Yes, even into a Mega Stone. Even into a Key Stone. And here, at Mt. Chimney— Hmph... I should not say too much. That is the end of today's lesson."''
:''"Now then. I believe it is time we begin. The time for the purge has come. I do believe that I made myself quite clear when we were last in Slateport. I warned you that any fool standing in our way would be met without mercy!"''
:''"I will bury you by my own hand. I hope you appreciate this honor!"''
*When defeated
:''"Ugh! You are...quite capable... I fell behind, but only by an inch..."''
*After being defeated
:''"Oh? So you repulsed the great Maxie in battle. Haha... You never fail to entertain me!"''
:''"An excellent start! This time, permit me to unleash my full strength! Once you've tasted my Pokémon's Mega Evolved power, you will say good-bye to your last shred of hope!"''
:''"Hm? Yes, it's me. ...Oh? Then it is Mt. Pyre. I understand. I will come at once."''
:''"I am sorry to cut our battle short, but I'm afraid I must excuse myself. Such rudeness demands reparation. Take this Meteorite as my apologies. You may do with it what you like."''
:''"And I will not again forget the face of the Trainer who managed to thwart me in battle!"''

'''Mt. Pyre'''
:''"Humph. So it was you... I'm sorry that I had to postpone my defeat of you at Mt. Chimney. And now, I am sorry that I have to postpone it once more. I cannot afford to waste even a single second now. For the Red Orb which has been enshrined here at Mt. Pyre... Now belongs to me, the great Maxie!"''
:''"Courtney. You must see to it that our dear visitor is not neglected due to my inability to battle now... Do be so kind as to battle him/her with the full measure of your strength...and crush this boy/girl so that he/she will never again for a single moment dream of defying out team!"''
:''"Fufufu... With this Red Orb in my possession, I have no need for the power of the Meteorite to awaken the beast from the deep! All that I need now is a way to reach the place where it sleeps... The only task remaining is obtaining the {{color|00aeef|submarine}} being constructed in Slateport! We move out at once, team! Our next destination...{{color2|00aeef|Slateport City}}!"''

'''Slateport Harbor'''
:''"Hrr-hrrmph. Captain Stern, I presume you can hear me. We of Team Magma will now assume control of your famed submarine. Take pride in the fact that your invention will serve as a linchpin of the next great step in humanity's development! Fufufu... Fuwahahahahaha!"''
:''"Hmph... So you have bothered to chase me, Maxie, all the way here from Mt. Pyre... Hohoho. You have earned my respect for the persistence you have shown. However... None can stop us now. All that remains is to retrofit this submarine and force our way into the Seafloor Cavern, where the great Pokémon sleeps... Our plans to propel humanity to its ultimate heights have entered their final stage. If you wish to prolong your futile struggle, I will not deny your right to try. Our {{color|00aeef|hideout}} lies in {{color|00aeef|Lilycove City}}. Follow us to our very door if you feel that justice demands it. And now I must be going. Tabitha! Let us go."''

'''Seafloor Cavern'''
*Before battle
:''"Ahahaha! How pathetic you appear now. The fool, Archie."''
:''"Fuhahaha! Just as I predicted."''
:"''Even I, the great Maxie, have found myself wishing for something I cannot justify. And the illogical desire that I harbored was to have you present here at this moment. Hahaha... And now that fool's wish has come true. Fantastic! Nothing could please me more! I suppose I should make introductions... I present to you my incomparable partner, who will assist Team Magma in driving humanity forward to its next level!"''
:"'''''The super-ancient Pokémon... Groudon!''' Behold! This great form slumbering in defiance of even the broiling lava surrounding it!"''
:''"So long have I waited for this day... Immeasurably long! This foolish world has held back humanity's progress out of misguided idealism regarding the coexistence of humans and Pokémon. But this ancient creature can bring that to its rightful end, creating a new land upon which humanity may stride freely forward. '''Now that I have at last obtained the power of {{color|ff0000|Primal Groudon}}!'''"''
:''"And now, you are the final obstacle remaining between me and my goals. It behooves me to use every tool at my disposal to eliminate you. Indeed! Even Mega Evolution! Do not delude yourself that you and your Pokémon are the only ones capable of it. I must apologize for making you wait through our encounters at Mt. Chimney and Mt. Pyre without treating you to this sight. Brace yourself for my ultimate attack! Fuhahaha!"''
*When defeated
:''"You've really done it, child. You've shown a power that exceeds that of the great Maxie!"''
*After being defeated
:''"Hah... Hah... Hahhh... ... Ah. Aha... Fuhahaha... Kahahahaha! GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"''
:''"Splendid. Just splendid, my young Trainer. No, it is more than that! I should be calling you my young hero! Believing until the very end that a world where humanity and Pokémon coexist must be the best... Rejecting my ideals without a second thought... Yes, watching you struggle desperately to halt the beginning of the world's end... You are undoubtedly a hero! So noble... And yet. I will not yield! I will not bend! My ideals will not be shaken! My dream for the world's next step forward will never change!"''
:''"I will use the Red Orb to awaken Groudon, revert it to its primal form, and put an end to all else!"''
:''"Buh?! Tabitha?!"''
:''"Humph. Did you think I had not noticed? That I had somehow failed to realize you were after my spot? Such a sad development indeed. To be betrayed by my number two..."''
:''"In the end, there is only one being upon which I can depend! Now, Groudon! Absorb all of the power resting in this Red Orb, and reclaim yourself! Revert to your primal form! This is the time to take back the great Evolution you lost in the ancient past! Reclaim the possibility you once held!"''
:''"Gahahahaha! At last... AT LAST! I've finally done it!!! A new world for human evolution will be born!!! We shall stride forward!!!"''
:''"... Hm? A message from our members outside? What is it? So the sun has turned mercilessly fierce in its heat. I should expect so. That is what I have long— No, what WE have long wished for. What?! The heat is greater than simulations predicted? It will be a risk to our own safety if it continues?! That cannot be... It has only just awoken... Where is it getting so much power from? And how much more will it gain when it does undergo Primal Reversion... C-continue your readings! Then report back!"''
:''"All that matters is... That I have used the red orb to awaken Groudon. And now... I will transform this planet to a land ideal for humanity."''
:''"What... Did you say?"

'''Route 128'''
:''"This... This is not..."''
:''"... I... I wanted... I wanted to make... It was supposed to be a world where the human race would attain new heights... The next stage... Of our new development... It was all... For humanity's future..."''
:''"Ngh..."''

'''Sootopolis City'''
:''"...I know what must be done. I will entrust this to you now. It is the fruit of our collaboration with the Devon Corporation, and it represents the height of Hoenn's technological knowledge and skill."''
:''"And yet... Even with that Magma Suit, is it probable that anyone could pass through that magma, now fiercer than ever due to the forces of nature?"''
:''"Child, you... No. I have no right to call you "child." Fellow Trainer. I have caused great harm, and for that I apologize most sincerely. But now we find ourselves at an impasse, and you and your Pokémon are all that humanity has to count on in its stand against Groudon..."''
:''"The fate of our world... The world upon which all humanity thrives... The fate of our world rests in your hands!"''

'''Cave of Origin'''
:''"Do you read me? It is I, the great Maxie. A device built into that suit has donned allows me to talk to you. We have received the readings from your suit. They suggest that Groudon has appeared. Is my supposition correct? Does it stand before you now? You must listen... Do not waste even a single second. Leap upon Groudon's mighty back. Then le-- take you to -- dee---est... O--- th--- c..."''

'''Sootopolis City''' (after confronting Groudon)
:''"Is the energy that had been amassed deep within the Cave of Origin now flowing out to pour over the greater world?"''
:''"... I suppose...you may be right... However... Personally, in my case... Some wrongs cannot be atoned for, no matter how you try to right them. And I have committed wrongs so great as to bring the whole world to its knees. It may be that I... It may be too much to assume that I should deserve the chance to start anything over."''
:''"T-Tabitha... ... Thank you."''
:''"You were able to use that Blue Orb to great effect, so I imagine you will be able to handle this. Have Groudon hold it, and you should be able to control its Primal Reversion for at least a short period, such as during a battle."''
:''"Farewell."''

:''"... Now I see... Yes, it was not chance that brought you here now. This was inevitable."''
:''"Tabitha. Give it to him/her."''
:''"Yes... Now that the Key Stone has been stolen, a Mega Stone will serve me no purpose."''
:''"I do not have the power now to use Mega Evolution. So I entrust it to you.
:''"I entrust it believing that this is the best action I can now take! That woman... She had such utter mastery over her Dragon-type Pokémon. There is more to her than meets the eye. I do not know what must be going through her mind. But... I think you may be the only one who can now stand against her. So I ask you this favor: Rage! Take up this fight for me, and bring this crisis to its resolution!"''

:''"What are you--?!"''
:''"... Fine. I understand. Courtney. I, the great Maxie, will forgive you. But only on one condition!"''
:''"You must... Also forgive me... Courtney. I never imagined... I never could have imagined... How very loyal you were to me. Nor did I imagine even one iota of the shock you must have experienced, due to my recent speech and conduct, or how I could have pained you. The one who drove you to such an extreme act was me. I am truly sorry for that. You see, Courtney, I would like to start on a new path. There are truths that I have learned because of the mistakes I have made. They pit me against others who are not like me and against ideas that differ from mine. They tell me the importance of understanding these others, even though we may continue to cause pain to another. And that holds true whether the opponent I face is human, Pokémon, or even the might of nature itself. I will take this step forward, free from hesitation, and meet my foe. And together we will find a way to create, not destroy, or so I hope. That is the vision that I, Maxie, have for Team Magma's future. Will you come with me on this journey as well? Courtney."'

:''"Hmph..."''
:''"Hmm..."''
:''"..."''
:''"My name is Maxie. I lead an organization known as Team Magma. We work for the future happiness of all mankind. From what I have seen here, it appears that you are working against our rivals in Team Aqua. ...Fine. Amuse yourself with those Team Aqua fools. But be careful you do not impede our goals. Be you child or grown, oppose us in the slightest, and I, the great Maxie, will show no mercy!"''
'''Mt. Chimney'''
:''"Ugh! Impudent fools! You Team Aqua curs dare to impede the great Maxie?!"'' 
:''"I've seen you before, child. It seems you are not to be trifled with, if you repelled Archie in battle."''
:''"What is that fool up to now? He abandoned the Meteorite that he sought so persistently? No! Could it be possible that he has confirmed the existence of the orbs at last? Ngh! Again, I find myself outmanuevered. What a terrible miscalculation."''

:''"Urk..."''
:''"Ugh... A-Archie...you..."''
:''"Y-you, child..."''
:''"..."''
:''"No... That..."''
:''"Archie. It appears you have made a grave error regarding Kyogre's powers."''
:''"The "beginning" that Primal Kyogre brings about... The way that it resets the world... It starts by driving every living thing on this planet to death first! This path leads only to an inescapable despair that cannot be withstood. That is all you have brought us. This is what comes of the madness of thinking that you could ever control the super-ancient Pokémon's power!"''
'''Route 128'''
:''"Is this... Is this the power of the super-ancient Pokémon? Is this what Kyogre's power truly is? Is this how you return everything to its beginning?"''
:''"The balance in this world is faltering. At this rate, it may be lost forever."''
:''"You... We will make our way to Sootopolis. It is most likely the case that Kyogre is also making its way to that city. In the deepest reaches of the Cave of Origin, which lies in the heart of Sootopolis City... That is where Kyogre will find the energy it needs to reclaim its primal form. I expect Kyogre will go to that place in search of even greater power. We must follow it to the Cave of Origin and do whatever it takes! There's nothing else we can do!"''
:''"Archie. You and your team of fools will accompany us. We have brought this calamity upon ourselves. It is only right that we take responsibility and clean up after our mistakes."''
:''"..."'''
:''"As an adult, I feel I must first apologize for the way things have turned out. I am truly sorry... But I must ask for your assistance. Won't you help us avert this crisis? If we work together, I believe we'll be able to overcome this ultimate threat. I will expect your arrival in Sootopolis."''
'''Sootopolis City'''
:''"We have been expecting you."''
:''"Hmph! So that's it! Now that you mention it, I do remember the elderly couple at Mt. Pyre saying such... The Blue Orb is capable of releasing Kyogre's full power, of reverting it to its primal form. While the Red Orb has the power to quell that flood of power."''
:''"We will also work to mobilize our team members and offer help to the people and Pokémon who are suffering most due to this disaster."''
:''"Now is the time when we all must simply do the best that we can within our own chosen roles... And you, child... No. You are not acting as a mere child today. Trainer! I am sorry to say that we have put the greatest burden on your shoulders alone... But I trust you to take care of this."''
* After confronting Kyogre
:''"The power, which had been pooling in the Cave of Origin, is now flowing back out into the world..."''
:''"..."''
:''"The land...or the sea... Humans...or Pokémon... When we sought to bring happiness to only one... we nearly destroyed both. Now the world's balance is restored to its natural state. Perhaps this is the time we must reconsider our ideals... Do you not agree? Archie..."''
:''"Hmph... We adults have a duty to pass this world along to the next generation. A world worth passing along. What is it we truly need to do to create such a world? Take each other's hand in friendship? Or fight for the right of supremacy? I think it is time we consider this again with our team members and break down the wall between us."''
:''"Farewell."''

:''"Hmmm... Indeed. The hero who crushed Team Aqua's hopes and saved the world. I had not expected to meet you here."''
:''"Are you a friend to that young man who just left? His whole body seemed to hum with his eagerness for battle... He must be quite the Trainer."''
:''"It seems that I may get to battle both you and that young man here... Fuhaha! It appears that coming to this island may prove worth the trouble yet!"''
:''"There has been something on my mind ever since the incident in Sootopolis... In another time, or perhaps another world, one only a fraction of an inch removed from our own, it seems very likely that it would have been us in Team Magma standing against you in that battle... Perhaps we would have been the ones trying to revive Groudon and obtain its terrible power for ourselves..."''
:''"But of course it is pure fantasy. Talking about other worlds, or alternative realities... It is just a dream for those of us living in the present world. Fuhahaha..."''
:''"Ah yes. But now that I've had the good fortune to meet you again, I should give you that thing..."''
:''"Courtney?"''
:''"I look forward to a day when my Pokemon team might face yours in battle. Until that day..."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Maxie Blue Orb.png|thumb|180px|right|Maxie and the Blue Orb]]
[[File:Maxie anime.png|thumb|left|180px|Maxie in the anime]]
Maxie first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Maxie's goal was to expand the land of [[Hoenn]] believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. Team Magma captured Ash and his friends, and Maxie was telling them that he wanted to expand the land and that Team Aqua were a bunch of crooks. [[Tabitha]] and the Grunts' {{p|Mightyena}} were very intimidating in the eyes of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], so when Ash was testy and angry when he spoke to Maxie, the Mightyena would growl at them, and the siblings would suggest that Ash be less assertive. By then, Shelly got Kyogre for Team Aqua, and so she left with him. Archie then met Maxie for the trick bargain to trade Kyogre for Groudon.

In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', [[Archie]] was very smug because he told Maxie that he had fooled him. Team Aqua sent out {{p|Walrein}}, which defeated the Mightyena that Team Magma sent out. Archie then bonded with the Red Orb just the way Pikachu did in the previous episode, and Maxie and [[Lance]] disguised as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} confronted Archie before this happened. 

After the fight between Kyogre and Groudon, Maxie realized the errors of his ways and finally changed his beliefs, now believing that the land of Hoenn is supposed to be kept as is.

{{p|Kyogre}} was first seen in the containment chamber of Team Magma's ship. Aqua Admin [[Shelly]] sets it free by increasing the humidity levels in the chamber so it could revive itself. She successfully does so causing Kyogre to break free from the ship. It is seen with Team Aqua afterwards. In its next appearance, Kyogre is seen fighting with Groudon and later lost to it, thus causing the orbs in Archie and Pikachu to separate. Kyogre was able to rescue Ash and Pikachu after the battle was done. In the end, it returns to its hidden location at the bottom of the sea.

Kyogre's known moves are {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and its Ability is {{a|Drizzle}}.}}

[[File:Maxie ORAS chapter.png|thumb|left|140px|Maxie in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}]]
Maxie does not have any fixed headquarters and moves his locations from [[cave|cave to cave]] across Hoenn, ruling Team Magma like a barbarian gang, also making them more elusive. Because of this, Team Magma was able to steal the Scanner from the [[Abandoned Ship]] and both the Red and Blue Orbs before [[Team Aqua]] knew about them. However, the latter was stolen by [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]'s {{p|Volbeat}} for [[Archie]], who proceeded to trap him and [[Tabitha]] together in the [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]], nearly killing them.

Maxie and Archie remained deep inside the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and fought {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} both. When the two young Trainers were getting the upper hand, the two evil leaders were possessed by the powers of the respective orbs and dragged them to [[Sootopolis City]], where Groudon and Kyogre promptly arrived to settle the score.

After {{p|Rayquaza}} halted the fight between Groudon and Kyogre, Maxie and Archie went insane and attempted to destroy everyone who had interfered in their plan: the [[Elite Four]], the [[Gym Leader]]s, the [[Legendary golems|Regis]], even their own members. It was Maxie's {{p|Houndoom}} that burned [[Norman]] with its flames.

Archie later indicated in the {{chap|Emerald}} that Maxie died during their fight for [[Sird]]'s [[Guile Hideout|armor and sword]].

Maxie and Archie are revealed to be alive in the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}. After stealing the regenerated Red and Blue Orbs from {{adv|Bill}}, they return to the Hoenn region. Upon arriving, they are attacked by Bill's friends, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}}, who had been following the two ever since the robbery. When Maxie and Archie reveal they can use [[Mega Evolution]], the two Pokédex holders counter by using their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
