Template:Main Game Character May (Japanese: ハルカ Haruka) is the female protagonist of Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. If she is not selected as the player, she is the player's rival.
The Generation III games deviated from the tradition of naming characters as their respective games, such as Red (Game) from Generation I {C}and Generation II games. As such, May's counterparts include May from the anime and Sapphire from the Pokemon Adventures manga.
