Max: I hate him. You should have seen the that he.
Maria: I know you've told me that a lot.
Max: Oh.
Ash: Is that all he has done?
Maria: No. When I took a break and we were living in the Johto region, we had a carnival for an elementary school I used to go to. He never went there at all, and he still showed up and crashed it. Luckily we had water balloons. LOTS of water balloons.
May: You know what, I think we know Butch. You know, he did join Team Rocket.
Maria: I'd like to see him try. He was a total spazz when I knew him, and he was REALLY ugly. I've got a picture from our yearbooks.
Everybody: EWWWW!
Puffpuff and Pikachu: BLAAAHH!
Ash: So, how many Pokemon do you have?
Maria: A lot. Puffpuff here was my first one. I found her in the woods behind my house when she was just an Igglybuff.
Max: Why did you name her Puffpuff?
Maria: I don't know. It just suited her. I name all of my Pokemon. Like my Meganium. Her name is June.
May: Hey look! There's a Pokemon contest tomorrow.
Maria: Well, we better sign up.
:After Signing Up:
Maria: Guys. Come over here. I want to show you something, but you have to keep it a secret. Come on out, Haku!
All: Wow! It's a Riolu!
Maria: Yep. He had gotten lost in the woods, and I found him. I always keep him with me, just like I do Puffpuff.
