If May is not selected as the player, she is helping her dad finish the Hoenn [[Pokédex]] and becoming a Pokémon Professor. She is also the player's rival and friend. Along with Brendan (when playing as May), they are the only rivals unavailable for battle after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Additionally, they both are the only ones to not [[evolution|evolve]] their starter Pokémon into its final form, except for in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where their starters have been fully evolved by the battle that takes place at [[Lilycove City]].
