In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and {{game3|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby|s}}, he first appears in an attempt to steal the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]] at the [[Oceanic Museum]] in Slateport City. Later, Team Magma members steal a [[Meteorite]] from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and use it in an attempt to erupt [[Mt. Chimney]]{{sup/3|R}}/to fashion an artificial [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}. In {{game|Emerald}}, he first appears in Meteor Falls, stealing the Meteroite in an attempt to to light up the crater within Mt. Chimney. Then, in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} and {{game3|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby|s}}, after [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]]{{sup/3|R}}/[[Tabitha]]{{sup/6|OR}} raids the [[Weather Institute]], Maxie steals the [[Colored orbs|Blue]]{{sup/3|R}}/[[Colored orbs|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 the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Team Magma promptly steals the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken Groudon. In Emerald, after failing at the summit of Mt. Chimney, Maxie instead sends Team Magma members to make [[Team Magma Hideout|a secret hideout]] which has been moved inside the volcano.

Maxie finally awakens Groudon using the colored Orb stolen from Mt. Pyre, although he quickly 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 and {{Steven}} appear just in time to stop him and [[Tabitha]] from achieving this. 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.

In Ruby and Emerald, after Groudon is calmed, he returns the Blue Orb to Mt. Chimney, disbands Team Magma, and is never seen again. In Omega Ruby, the energy amassed in the Cave's jewels emit a green beam skyward after Primal Groudon is defeated, 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 encourages him to at least try, offering his continued loyalty to him from that point onward. Softly thanking his Admin, Maxie willingly relinquishes the Red Orb to the player and departs with Archie to begin their mutual reformation.

During the Delta Episode, Maxie is confronted in the Magma Hideout by one of his former grunts, [[Zinnia]], who is stealing Key Stones in order to summon and Mega Evolve {{p|Rayquaza}}. 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 the condition that she forgives his actions and conduct, recognizing that this and the failure of their plans drove her into despair. He explains his intent to start Team Magma over, having learned the importance of understanding and working with even those he disagrees with, to which she accepts. 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.

Maxie, as he appears in [[Generation III]], will appear as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
In Alpha Sapphire, Maxie and his Admins make a brief reappearance at the [[Battle Resort]] when the player first visits the location with [[Wally]] after the Delta Episode. During the encounter, Maxie ponders the possibility of him having been the villain the player would've had to stop instead of Archie, alluding to his role in Omega Ruby. However, he disregards such thoughts as mere fantasy, and has Courtney hand the player a [[Cameruptite]] before leaving.


===Personality===
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Maxie, in his [[Generation III]] design, appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. He is one of the first two bosses the player must face, along with Archie. When the player reaches him in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], he reveals that, in the world he came from, he succeeded in enacting his plans to expand the planet's landmass, only to be dropped into a great fissure that opened up beneath him. When he came to, he discovered that he was in the game's world. Though he does intend to go back to his world, he declares his intent to use Groudon to turn the game's world into his ideal state as well. After being defeated in battle — despite using Groudon against the player — he allows the player to activate the switch hidden in his room's painting so they may progress further. He later comes out into the castle's main hall while [[Guzma]] is helping to hold two {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s at bay, only to come face-to-face with Archie, mistaking him for the Archie from his universe. The two exchange words and decide to battle each other in order to resolve their feud, but as they leave, they are both warped away by an [[Colress|unknown force]].
In Ruby and Emerald, Maxie regularly disdains and resents player's interference throughout the game, often fleeing instead of further justifying or persuading the player of Team Magma's sincerity. In Ruby, he simply says that nature is not for humanity's interference in any regard, bidding a final farewell to the player after returning the stolen orb. 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 shamefully disappearing like in the original.

:''"<player>! Thank you! With your help, we thwarted <sc>Team Aqua</sc>'s destructive plan! But... This victory doesn't mean the end of their evil plans. We will remain vigilant and keep up our pursuit of <sc>Team Aqua</sc>. <Player>, we shall meet again!"''
 
'''Seafloor Cavern'''
:''"What have you wrought? <sc>Archie</sc>... You've finally awoken <sc>Kyogre</sc>, haven't you? What will happen to the world if this downpour continues for all eternity? The world's landmass will drown in the deepening sea..."''
 
:''"We don't have the time to argue about it here! Get outside and see for yourself! See if what you've wrought is the world that you desired!"''
 
:''"<Player>, come on, you have to get out of here, too!"''
 
'''Route 128'''
:''"Do you understand now, <sc>Archie</sc>? Do you finally see how disastrous your dream turned out to be? We have to hurry! We have to do something before the situation goes completely out of control!"''
 
:''"<Player>... We, <sc>Team Magma</sc>, had been pursuing <sc>Team Aqua</sc> to prevent this from happening. You've been very helpful, but I fear the worst has happened... It's gone too far for a child like you to manage... Leave things to us, and get out of here while you still can!"''
 
:''"This defies belief... A super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc>... Its power is unbelievable. It has upset the balance of nature..."''

'''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?"''

====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|f00|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."''

:''"Woman... Who are you?"''
:''"You... Why are you here?"''
:''"You--?!"''
:''"... 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!"''
:''"That woman... She said that the former Champion would know what she was about. I assume you of all people should know where to find him, but...?"''

:''"..."''
:''"..."''
:''"Ugh..."''
:''?!"''
:''"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."'
:''"My... You certainly cry a lot."''
 
'''All subsequent visits'''

'''[[Battle Maison]]'''
*When selected for the [[Multi Battle]] challenge
:''"So you wish for the great Maxie to battle alongside you... Hehehe... My heart trembles in anticipation! This should be a fascinating battle!”''
 
*After ending the Multi Battle challenge
:''“All things must inevitably come to an end. But I look forward to the prospect of a new beginning.”''
 
*After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge
:''”Hehehe... Hahaha! This result was inevitable the moment the great Maxie joined hands with you! Should another such opportunity occur, I anticipate a similarly beneficial outcome.”''
 
*After losing the Multi Battle challenge
:''”So the great Maxie has fallen, even when battling alongside your team... I shall commit this curious phenomenon to memory. It had less than a 1 percent probability of occurring, you know.”''

'''Meteor Falls'''
:''"Hmph… Do these mere children give you so much trouble? You—an Admin of Team Aqua…"''
:''"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'''
*First time
:''"Ugh! Impudent fools! You Team Aqua curs dare to impede the great Maxie?!"''
*If talked to again
:''"Impertinent…little…imbeciles!"''
*After the player defeats [[Archie]]
:''"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 outmaneuvered. What a terrible miscalculation!"''
'''Seafloor Cavern'''
:''"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."''
'''Battle Resort'''
*Enter the Battle Resort for the first time
:''"Hmph."''
:''"..."''
:''"Ah..."''
:''"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..."''

Maxie first appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. His goal was to expand the land of [[Hoenn]], believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. After Team Magma captured {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} aboard their mobile sea base, they brought them to Maxie. He explained to the group his goals and how Team Magma was going to accomplish them through {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}. In the process, he revealed that Team Magma has possession over a [[Blue Orb]], an item capable of controlling Groudon, as well as {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}}. Meanwhile, Shelly, who was working undercover as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, released Kyogre from its captivity, thus sending it on a rampage that causes Maxie to lose the Blue Orb to {{AP|Pikachu}}, who unwittingly absorbed it. After Team Magma's base was destroyed by Kyogre, Maxie met up with [[Archie]] on [[Monsu Island]] and negotiated a trade: Team Aqua will release two Team Magma Grunts in exchange for the Blue Orb. However, the exchange is interrupted by {{TRT}}'s intrusion of Team Aqua's submarine; Archie accused Team Magma of being behind it, but Maxie denied any involvement.

After Team Magma captured {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} aboard their mobile sea base, they brought them to Maxie. He explained to the group his goals and how Team Magma was going to accomplish them through {{p|Groudon}}. In the process, he revealed that Team Magma has possession over a {{DL|Colored orbs|Blue Orb}}, an item capable of controlling Groudon, as well as {{p|Kyogre}}. Meanwhile, Shelly, who was working undercover as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}, released Kyogre from its captivity, thus sending it on a rampage that causes Maxie to lose the Blue Orb to {{AP|Pikachu}}, who unwittingly absorbed it.

However, the exchange is interrupted by {{TRT}}'s intrusion of Team Aqua's submarine; Archie accused Team Magma of being behind it, but Maxie denied any involvement.
In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Archie immediately seized control over Kyogre with the [[Red Orb]] in his possession, triggering a battle between Team Magma and Team Aqua. Archie then bonded with the Red Orb, but he was maddened by its effects and announced his intent to engulf the entire island in the ocean, risking the lives of everyone on it, including his own men. Maxie, acting out of seemingly genuine concern, tried to point this out to Archie, but he refused to listen. Later, as Groudon and Kyogre prepared to battle, Maxie listened to [[Lance]]'s speech about how such a conflict posed a threat to the entire world. Eventually, the fight between Kyogre and Groudon was put to an end through the efforts of Ash, his friends, and Lance. Afterwards, 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.

Maxie is one of the two main antagonists of the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He leads Team Magma in their quest to awaken Groudon to expand the land. Team Magma clashes with Team Aqua, who aim to awaken Kyogre to expand the sea.


Maxie debuts in ''[[PS200|Tripped Up by Torkoal]]'', where he meets with Tabitha, Courtney, and [[Blaise]] after the successful obtaining of the Scanner. When Blaise reveals that the Submarine Explorer 1 is almost complete, Maxie sends the three to Slateport City to steal it.

After Team Aqua manages to successfully stop the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney, Maxie attacks Archie. Maxie confronts Archie's manipulation of [[TV Mauville|Hoenn TV]] to create anti-Team Magma propaganda and challenges him to a battle. Archie agrees, but the battle ends in a tie despite Archie's type advantage. The two leaders stop fighting after realizing that neither team will accomplish their goals when each has an important piece required to awaken their respective super-ancient Pokémon rests. They decide that the best option is a temporary truce so that both teams will head to the Seafloor Cavern together. When Team Magma and Aqua meet, they fit the Submarine Explorer 1 with its heart component and head underwater.

Upon arriving, the teams end their truce and proceed to head their separate ways. Archie manages to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Despite this, Maxie uses the Red and Blue Orbs Blaise obtained from Mt. Pyre to control both super-ancient Pokémon to give Groudon an advantage over Kyogre. The strain of using both Orbs exhausts Maxie, so he hands the Blue Orb to Tabitha so he can control Kyogre. Finding Kyogre's behavior suspicious, sends [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]] to take the Blue Orb from Tabitha. With the Blue Orb now in his possession, Archie begins to use it to control Kyogre.

The power of the Red and Blue Orbs proves to be too much for Maxie and Archie, who are later possessed by Groudon and Kyogre instead. The two are confronted by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who had arrived to defeat the two villains. Ruby and Sapphire begin battling Maxie and Archie, but note their behavior to be strange. Despite this, Ruby and Sapphire manage to stop Maxie and Archie's movements, leaving them enough time to remove the Orbs from their hands. When Ruby attempts to remove the Orbs from Archie and Maxie, he notices that the Orbs are now stuck to the leaders' hands. The Orbs recede into Maxie and Archie's bodies, fully putting them under the control of Kyogre and Groudon. With their new power, Maxie and Archie take Ruby, Sapphire, and all the Team Aqua and Magma Grunts back to the surface.

They fly to Sootopolis City, where Groudon and Kyogre had gone to finish their battle. The two leaders begin fighting together their respective super-ancient Pokémon. Maxie and Archie are finally defeated when Ruby and Sapphire use a piece of the Grand Meteor combined with their Pokémon's attacks to force the Red and Blue Orbs out of Maxie and Archie's bodies. The plan works, but it causes the Orbs to move to Ruby and Sapphire's bodies and creates an explosion that sends them flying.

Sometime later, Ruby returns and teams up with Courtney to stop Kyogre and Groudon once and for all. Their plan fails, and a hidden Maxie and Archie kills Courtney by dragging her into a collapsing Cave of Origin. After Groudon and Kyogre are successfully defeated with the assistance of {{p|Rayquaza}} and [[Norman]], Maxie and Archie reveal themselves and attempt to kill Ruby to take back the Orbs and awaken Groudon and Kyogre again. They are approached by the Champion [[Wallace]], who attacks the two leaders to rescue Ruby. Wallace is forced to give up when Maxie and Archie reveal they are keeping [[Winona]] hostage, leaving him open to be attacked and defeated.

Victorious, Maxie and Archie gloat over the heroes' defeat only to be interrupted by the appearance of Ruby's {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Feefee attempts to stop Maxie and Archie, but is easily swatted away. Maxie and Archie begin beating Feefee and insult her ragged appearance. Seeing this angers Ruby, who states that Feefee possesses beauty on the inside even if her outside is ugly. This change in hear allows Feefee to evolve into a {{p|Milotic}}. Ruby and Feefee team up with Sapphire to battle and finally defeat Maxie and Archie's Pokémon. Maxie and Archie still refuse to give up and escape with the Orbs in Wallace's aircar. By powering up their {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} with the New Mauville generator, Ruby and Sapphire finish Maxie and Archie off by trapping them in a dome of electricity.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, it is revealed that Maxie and Archie were rescued from the electrical sphere by [[Sird]]. Sird reveals that Maxie and Archie's bodies are breaking down due to the effect of letting Kyogre and Groudon possess them. She offers a suit of armor to one of the villains that can slow down the process of their decaying, but only to whomever defeats the other in battle. Archie manages to defeat Maxie and wins the armor, thus becoming the armored man, [[Guile Hideout]].

In the {{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Maxie is revealed to still be alive. Alongside Archie, Maxie travels to the Kanto region, where they find {{adv|Bill}}, who had obtained the shattered remains of the Red and Blue Orbs from Team Rocket in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. They attack Bill and steal the shards from him, which have now regenerated back into their forms as Orbs. They steal Bill's boat and use it to travel back to the Hoenn region. Upon arriving, Maxie and Archie are approached by {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}}, two Kanto Pokédex holders that are friends with Bill. Red and Green attack Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and retrieve the stolen Orbs. To combat their opponents, Maxie and Archie reveal they have learned to use Mega Evolution and use it to face the two Pokédex holders, who counter with their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
====={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
In ''[[PS408|High-tailing It from Haunter]]'', Maxie was briefly seen when the [[Advanced level Grunt]] was talking to {{adv|Diamond}} about the past accomplishments of the [[Pokédex holder]]s.


The battle is interrupted by Blaise and {{FB|Aqua Admin|Amber}}. Although Blaise finds the new appearance of their leaders suspicious, Amber reveals that they summoned Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places with the power of {{p|Hoopa}}. Immediately after, Groudon and Kyogre appear, having followed the presence of the Orbs. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms, greatly increasing their power to the point where they easily defeat Red and Green. Groudon and Kyogre's rampage is interrupted by Ruby and {{adv|Emerald}}, who attempt to fight the super-ancient Pokémon but are unable to damage them. Maxie and Archie use Groudon and Kyogre to easily blast Ruby and Emerald out of the sky, easily defeating them. With their opponents on the ground, Maxie and Archie gloat over their victory and reveal that their return is all for the sake of saving the planet from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] threatening to destroy it.

Later, at the [[Meteor Village]], Maxie trains alongside Archie in order to teach Groudon {{m|Precipice Blades}}. They were given a training space by the village [[Elder (Meteor Village)|Elder]], who agreed to help in their attempt to stop the meteoroid. After a day, Maxie and Archie finish their training and exit their training space. Just as they do so, Rayquaza sees Groudon and Kyogre through Hoopa's ring and attempts to attack by flying towards the ring. The experience scares Hoopa, causing it to accidentally send Rayquaza to another ring connecting the village to {{rt|120|Hoenn}}. Maxie and Archie chase after Rayquaza and arrive at Route 120 by forcing their way through Hoopa's ring. They decide to test the moves Groudon and Kyogre learned on Rayquaza, but are interrupted by large chunks of the meteoroid falling down on them. To destroy the chunks, Maxie, Archie, Ruby, and Sapphire combine the powers of Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza into a single attack.

As the three super-ancient Pokémon's attack struggles to destroy the meteoroid chunk, Maxie and Archie's bodies run out of energy and begin to break down. The combined attack eventually breaks the meteoroid chunk into pieces, which fall onto Groudon and Kyogre, knocking them out. After watching from afar, Blaise and Amber go down to see if their leaders are safe, only to find them both in the process of fading away. Maxie and Archie explain to the two that after their "deaths", their spirits ended up in [[Distortion World|another world]], where they at one point melded together and became one. After a [[PS460|hole]] to the real world was opened, an unknown voice called out to them, asking to protect the planet. After escaping from the world, they regained their bodies, albeit slightly different, gained Mega Evolution, and stole the orbs from Bill in order to save the planet from destruction. Just as they disappear completely, Maxie and Archie ask their subordinates to protect the planet.

{{p|Groudon}} is a super-ancient Pokémon that clashed with Kyogre in the past. Team Magma sought to reawaken it to achieve their goal in expanding the land. With the Red Orb, Maxie controlled Groudon after it was awakened. The prolonged use of the Red Orb instead leads to Maxie being controlled by Groudon. After the Orbs are removed from Maxie and Archie's bodies, they move to Ruby and Sapphire. With the power of the Orbs and Rayquaza, Groudon moves to Mt. Chimney to return to its slumber.

Maxie (Japanese: マツブサ Matsubusa) is the head of Team Magma. He is the only character in the games to have the Trainer classes Magma Leader (Japanese: マグマだんリーダー Team Magma Leader) and Team Magma (Japanese: マグマだん Team Magma).

In the core series games

In Pokémon Sapphire, Maxie helps the player against Team Aqua. He does not have an active role in the storyline and cannot be battled.

In Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, he first appears in an attempt to steal the Devon GoodsR/Devon PartsOR from Captain Stern at the Oceanic Museum in Slateport City. Later, Team Magma members steal a Meteorite from Professor Cozmo in Meteor Falls, and use it in an attempt to erupt Mt. ChimneyR/to fashion an artificial Mega Stone for GroudonOR. In Pokémon Emerald, he first appears in Meteor Falls, stealing the Meteorite in an attempt to light up the crater within Mt. Chimney. Then, in Pokémon Ruby and Omega Ruby, after CourtneyR/TabithaOR raids the Weather Institute, Maxie steals the Blue OrbR/Red OrbOR 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 the Seafloor Cavern. Team Magma promptly steals the Submarine Explorer 1 that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken Groudon. In Emerald, after failing at the summit of Mt. Chimney, Maxie instead sends Team Magma members to make a secret hideout which has been moved inside the volcano.

Maxie finally awakens Groudon using the colored Orb stolen from Mt. Pyre, although he quickly 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 and Steven appear just in time to stop him and Tabitha from achieving this. 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.

In Ruby and Emerald, after Groudon is calmed, he returns the Blue Orb to Mt. Chimney, disbands Team Magma, and is never seen again. In Omega Ruby, the energy amassed in the Cave's jewels emit a green beam skyward after Primal Groudon is defeated, 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 encourages him to at least try, offering his continued loyalty to him from that point onward. Softly thanking his Admin, Maxie willingly relinquishes the Red Orb to the player and departs with Archie to begin their mutual reformation.

During the Delta Episode, Maxie is confronted in the Magma Hideout by one of his former grunts, Zinnia, who is stealing Key Stones in order to summon and Mega Evolve Rayquaza. 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 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 the condition that she forgives his actions and conduct, recognizing that this and the failure of their plans drove her into despair. He explains his intent to start Team Magma over, having learned the importance of understanding and working with even those he disagrees with, to which she accepts. 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.

In Alpha Sapphire, Maxie and his Admins make a brief reappearance at the Battle Resort when the player first visits the location with Wally after the Delta Episode. During the encounter, Maxie ponders the possibility of him having been the villain the player would've had to stop instead of Archie, alluding to his role in Omega Ruby. However, he disregards such thoughts as mere fantasy, and has Courtney hand the player a Cameruptite before leaving.

An alternate universe version of Maxie, in his Generation III design, appears as a member of Team Rainbow Rocket in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. He is one of the first two bosses the player must face, along with Archie. When the player reaches him in Team Rocket's Castle, he reveals that, in the world he came from, he succeeded in enacting his plans to expand the planet's landmass, only to be dropped into a great fissure that opened up beneath him. When he came to, he discovered that he was in the game's world. Though he does intend to go back to his world, he declares his intent to use Groudon to turn the game's world into his ideal state as well. After being defeated in battle — despite using Groudon against the player — he allows the player to activate the switch hidden in his room's painting so they may progress further. He later comes out into the castle's main hall while Guzma is helping to hold two Team Rainbow Rocket Grunts at bay, only to come face-to-face with Archie, mistaking him for the Archie from his universe. The two exchange words and decide to battle each other in order to resolve their feud, but as they leave, they are both warped away by an unknown force.

Main series

Maxie in the anime

Maxie first appeared in Gaining Groudon. His goal was to expand the land of Hoenn, believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. After Team Magma captured Ash and his friends aboard their mobile sea base, they brought them to Maxie. He explained to the group his goals and how Team Magma was going to accomplish them through Groudon. In the process, he revealed that Team Magma has possession over a Blue Orb, an item capable of controlling Groudon, as well as Kyogre. Meanwhile, Shelly, who was working undercover as a Team Magma Grunt, released Kyogre from its captivity, thus sending it on a rampage that causes Maxie to lose the Blue Orb to Pikachu, who unwittingly absorbed it. After Team Magma's base was destroyed by Kyogre, Maxie met up with Archie on Monsu Island and negotiated a trade: Team Aqua will release two Team Magma Grunts in exchange for the Blue Orb. However, the exchange is interrupted by Team Rocket's intrusion of Team Aqua's submarine; Archie accused Team Magma of being behind it, but Maxie denied any involvement.

Maxie and the Blue Orb

In The Scuffle of Legends, Archie immediately seized control over Kyogre with the Red Orb in his possession, triggering a battle between Team Magma and Team Aqua. Archie then bonded with the Red Orb, but he was maddened by its effects and announced his intent to engulf the entire island in the ocean, risking the lives of everyone on it, including his own men. Maxie, acting out of seemingly genuine concern, tried to point this out to Archie, but he refused to listen. Later, as Groudon and Kyogre prepared to battle, Maxie listened to Lance's speech about how such a conflict posed a threat to the entire world. Eventually, the fight between Kyogre and Groudon was put to an end through the efforts of Ash, his friends, and Lance. Afterwards, 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.

Kyogre was first seen in the containment chamber of Team Magma's ship. Aqua Admin Shelly set it free by increasing the humidity levels in the chamber so it could revive itself. It was seen with Team Aqua afterwards. In its next appearance, Kyogre fought 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 returned to its hidden location at the bottom of the sea.

History

Ruby & Sapphire arc
Maxie in the fourth chapter

Maxie is one of the two main antagonists of this chapter. He leads Team Magma in their quest to awaken Groudon to expand the land. Team Magma clashes with Team Aqua, who aim to awaken Kyogre to expand the sea.

Maxie debuts in Tripped Up by Torkoal, where he meets with Tabitha, Courtney, and Blaise after the successful obtaining of the Scanner. When Blaise reveals that the Submarine Explorer 1 is almost complete, Maxie sends the three to Slateport City to steal it.

After Team Aqua manages to successfully stop the volcanic activity of Mt. Chimney, Maxie attacks Archie. Maxie confronts Archie's manipulation of Hoenn TV to create anti-Team Magma propaganda and challenges him to a battle. Archie agrees, but the battle ends in a tie despite Archie's type advantage. The two leaders stop fighting after realizing that neither team will accomplish their goals when each has an important piece required to awaken their respective super-ancient Pokémon rests. They decide that the best option is a temporary truce so that both teams will head to the Seafloor Cavern together. When Team Magma and Aqua meet, they fit the Submarine Explorer 1 with its heart component and head underwater.

Upon arriving, the teams end their truce and proceed to head their separate ways. Archie manages to awaken Kyogre first, giving the advantage to Team Aqua. Despite this, Maxie uses the Red and Blue Orbs Blaise obtained from Mt. Pyre to control both super-ancient Pokémon to give Groudon an advantage over Kyogre. The strain of using both Orbs exhausts Maxie, so he hands the Blue Orb to Tabitha so he can control Kyogre. Finding Kyogre's behavior suspicious, sends Amber to take the Blue Orb from Tabitha. With the Blue Orb now in his possession, Archie begins to use it to control Kyogre.

The power of the Red and Blue Orbs proves to be too much for Maxie and Archie, who are later possessed by Groudon and Kyogre instead. The two are confronted by Ruby and Sapphire, who had arrived to defeat the two villains. Ruby and Sapphire begin battling Maxie and Archie, but note their behavior to be strange. Despite this, Ruby and Sapphire manage to stop Maxie and Archie's movements, leaving them enough time to remove the Orbs from their hands. When Ruby attempts to remove the Orbs from Archie and Maxie, he notices that the Orbs are now stuck to the leaders' hands. The Orbs recede into Maxie and Archie's bodies, fully putting them under the control of Kyogre and Groudon. With their new power, Maxie and Archie take Ruby, Sapphire, and all the Team Aqua and Magma Grunts back to the surface.

They fly to Sootopolis City, where Groudon and Kyogre had gone to finish their battle. The two leaders begin fighting together their respective super-ancient Pokémon. Maxie and Archie are finally defeated when Ruby and Sapphire use a piece of the Grand Meteor combined with their Pokémon's attacks to force the Red and Blue Orbs out of Maxie and Archie's bodies. The plan works, but it causes the Orbs to move to Ruby and Sapphire's bodies and creates an explosion that sends them flying.

Sometime later, Ruby returns and teams up with Courtney to stop Kyogre and Groudon once and for all. Their plan fails, and a hidden Maxie and Archie kills Courtney by dragging her into a collapsing Cave of Origin. After Groudon and Kyogre are successfully defeated with the assistance of Rayquaza and Norman, Maxie and Archie reveal themselves and attempt to kill Ruby to take back the Orbs and awaken Groudon and Kyogre again. They are approached by the Champion Wallace, who attacks the two leaders to rescue Ruby. Wallace is forced to give up when Maxie and Archie reveal they are keeping Winona hostage, leaving him open to be attacked and defeated.

Victorious, Maxie and Archie gloat over the heroes' defeat only to be interrupted by the appearance of Ruby's Feebas, Feefee. Feefee attempts to stop Maxie and Archie, but is easily swatted away. Maxie and Archie begin beating Feefee and insult her ragged appearance. Seeing this angers Ruby, who states that Feefee possesses beauty on the inside even if her outside is ugly. This change in hear allows Feefee to evolve into a Milotic. Ruby and Feefee team up with Sapphire to battle and finally defeat Maxie and Archie's Pokémon. Maxie and Archie still refuse to give up and escape with the Orbs in Wallace's aircar. By powering up their Plusle and Minun with the New Mauville generator, Ruby and Sapphire finish Maxie and Archie off by trapping them in a dome of electricity.

Emerald arc

It is revealed that Maxie and Archie were rescued from the electrical sphere by Sird. Sird reveals that Maxie and Archie's bodies are breaking down due to the effect of letting Kyogre and Groudon possess them. She offers a suit of armor to one of the villains that can slow down the process of their decaying, but only to whomever defeats the other in battle. Archie manages to defeat Maxie and wins the armor, thus becoming the armored man, Guile Hideout.

Diamond & Pearl arc

In High-tailing It from Haunter, Maxie was briefly seen when the Advanced level Grunt was talking to Diamond about the past accomplishments of the Pokédex holders.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
Maxie in the thirteenth chapter

Maxie is revealed to still be alive. Alongside Archie, Maxie travels to the Kanto region, where they find Bill, who had obtained the shattered remains of the Red and Blue Orbs from Team Rocket in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc. They attack Bill and steal the shards from him, which have now regenerated back into their forms as Orbs. They steal Bill's boat and use it to travel back to the Hoenn region. Upon arriving, Maxie and Archie are approached by Red and Green, two Kanto Pokédex holders that are friends with Bill. Red and Green attack Maxie and Archie to avenge their injured friend and retrieve the stolen Orbs. To combat their opponents, Maxie and Archie reveal they have learned to use Mega Evolution and use it to face the two Pokédex holders, who counter with their own Mega-Evolved Pokémon.

The battle is interrupted by Blaise and Amber. Although Blaise finds the new appearance of their leaders suspicious, Amber reveals that they summoned Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places with the power of Hoopa. Immediately after, Groudon and Kyogre appear, having followed the presence of the Orbs. Maxie and Archie use the Orbs to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their Primal forms, greatly increasing their power to the point where they easily defeat Red and Green. Groudon and Kyogre's rampage is interrupted by Ruby and Emerald, who attempt to fight the super-ancient Pokémon but are unable to damage them. Maxie and Archie use Groudon and Kyogre to easily blast Ruby and Emerald out of the sky, easily defeating them. With their opponents on the ground, Maxie and Archie gloat over their victory and reveal that their return is all for the sake of saving the planet from the meteoroid threatening to destroy it.

Later, at the Meteor Village, Maxie trains alongside Archie in order to teach Groudon Precipice Blades. They were given a training space by the village Elder, who agreed to help in their attempt to stop the meteoroid. After a day, Maxie and Archie finish their training and exit their training space. Just as they do so, Rayquaza sees Groudon and Kyogre through Hoopa's ring and attempts to attack by flying towards the ring. The experience scares Hoopa, causing it to accidentally send Rayquaza to another ring connecting the village to Route 120. Maxie and Archie chase after Rayquaza and arrive at Route 120 by forcing their way through Hoopa's ring. They decide to test the moves Groudon and Kyogre learned on Rayquaza, but are interrupted by large chunks of the meteoroid falling down on them. To destroy the chunks, Maxie, Archie, Ruby, and Sapphire combine the powers of Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre, and Rayquaza into a single attack.

As the attack of the three super-ancient Pokémon struggles to destroy the meteoroid chunk, Maxie and Archie's bodies run out of energy and begin to break down. The combined attack eventually breaks the meteoroid chunk into pieces, which fall onto Groudon and Kyogre, knocking them out. After watching from afar, Blaise and Amber go down to see if their leaders are safe, only to find them both in the process of fading away. Maxie and Archie explain to the two that after their "deaths", their spirits ended up in another world, where they at one point melded together and became one. After a hole to the real world was opened, an unknown voice called out to them, asking to protect the planet. After escaping from the world, they regained their bodies, albeit slightly different, gained Mega Evolution, and stole the orbs from Bill in order to save the planet from destruction. Just as they disappear completely, Maxie and Archie ask their subordinates to protect the planet.

After Ruby was immobilized, Houndoom set fire to Norman's corpse in case he came back to stop them with Rayquaza again. Later, it was used to battle Ruby's Mumu and Sapphire's Chic. Houndoom was defeated by a combination of Sky Uppercut and Muddy Water. Afterward, Maxie sent out four more Houndoom to distract Ruby and Sapphire while he and Archie escaped.

None of Houndoom's moves are known.

Maxie's Camerupt

Maxie's Mega Camerupt
Camerupt ↔ Mega Camerupt
Camerupt is Maxie's main Pokémon. He was first sent out to battle Archie's Walrein. Despite the type disadvantage, the battle ended in a tie due to use of both Pokémon's Abilities. At the Seafloor Cavern, he was used alongside Archie's Walrein to battle Ruby's Mumu and Sapphire's Chic. Although the Pokédex holders fought with powerful moves, Camerupt and Walrein emerged the victors, but left their Trainers open to be attacked. In the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire chapter, he was used to battle Red and Green to stop them from taking the Red and Blue Orbs. Even though he Mega Evolved, he was eventually defeated. With Maxie's Mega Glasses, he can Mega Evolve into Mega Camerupt. After Maxie disappeared, he was taken by Blaise alongside Maxie's Mega Glasses. He is level 68, has a Quiet nature, and his Characteristic is "often lost in thought."

Camerupt's known moves are Eruption and Overheat, and his Ability is Magma Armor.

Groudon

Primal Groudon
Groudon ↔ Primal Groudon
Main article: Groudon (Adventures)

Groudon is a super-ancient Pokémon that clashed with Kyogre in the past. Team Magma sought to reawaken it to achieve their goal in expanding the land. With the Red Orb, Maxie controlled Groudon after it was awakened. The prolonged use of the Red Orb instead leads to Maxie being controlled by Groudon. After the Orbs are removed from Maxie and Archie's bodies, they move to Ruby and Sapphire. With the power of the Orbs and Rayquaza, Groudon moves to Mt. Chimney to return to its slumber. In the thirteenth chapter, Groudon is awakened from its slumber by Hoopa, who was manipulated by Blaise and Amber to summon the super-ancient Pokémon so they can achieve Primal Reversion. After meeting up with Maxie again, Groudon was given the Red Orb to become Primal Groudon.

Kyogre
Main article: Kyogre (Adventures)

Kyogre was temporarily controlled by Maxie through the use of the Blue Orb. When the strain of using two Orbs at the same time proved too much for Maxie, he gave the Blue Orb to Tabitha. It was later taken by Amber, who gave it to Archie to control Kyogre with.
