In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', May was kidnapped by a hungry {{p|Skarmory}} and ended up lost in a reserve for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} called the [[Forbidden Forest]]. There, she met Venusaur, then a clumsy Bulbasaur, while she was trying to pick flowers. Bulbasaur warmed up to May after being saved from a fall, but the other Pokémon in the reserve repeatedly tried to attack May. However, Bulbasaur explained to {{p|Venusaur}}, her parent and the ruler of the Forbidden Forest, that May was a friend. Before May had to leave, Bulbasaur decided to stay with her. | In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', May was kidnapped by a hungry {{p|Skarmory}} and ended up lost in a reserve for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} called the [[Forbidden Forest]].
