Stop hand

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!
~ Maxie introducing himself and explaining his goal to the player in Pokémon Omega Ruby.

Maxie (in Japanese: マツブサ, Matsubusa) is an antagonist in the Pokémon series, serving as one of the two main antagonists of the Hoenn Pokémon games (the other one being Archie).

He is the boss of Team Magma who desires to expand the world's landmass so that humanity can progress to further heights, and thus seeks to awaken and control the ancient Continent Pokémon, Groudon. He is also the the arch-rival of Archie, the boss of Team Aqua. An alternate version of him appears as a member of Team Rainbow Rocket.

In Japanese, he was voiced by the late Keiji Fujiwara (who also voiced Axel, Esidisi, and Mewtwo) in the anime, Seiji Sasaki in Pokémon Generations, Jouji Nakata in Pokémon Masters. In English, he was voiced by Marc Thompson in the anime, Lex Lang in Pokémon Generations, and Jarred Kjack in Pokémon Masters.

Biography[]

In the games[]

Maxie is the head of Team Magma. In Pokémon Sapphire/Alpha 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/Pokémon Omega Ruby, he first appears in the Oceanic Museum in Slateport City, trying to steal the Devon Goods from Captain Stern. Later, Team Magma members steal a Meteorite from Professor Cozmo in Meteor Falls, and use it to try to cause Mt. Chimney to erupt. Then, after Courtney raids the Weather Institute, Maxie steals the Blue Orb 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 a 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 Pokémon Emerald, Maxie tries again to dry Mt. Chimney's lava pool via the meteorite from Meteor Falls, but this time he is looking for Groudon inside the volcano. After this first, unsuccessful attempt, Maxie sends Team Magma members to make a new, secret hideout inside the volcano, where he finally awakens Groudon using the Blue Orb stolen at Mt. Pyre. However, he loses control over the legendary Pokémon. Later Team Magma raids the Mossdeep Space Center, trying to use the rocket fuel to make Mt. Chimney explode. The protagonist comes just in time to stop him, but as Tabitha is teaming up with Maxie, Steven is forced to team up with the player to stop Team Magma. 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 Omega Ruby it is further explained that Zinnia was the one who gave Maxie the idea to revive Groudon; she secretly planned for Groudon to go berserk so that Rayquaza would be forced to stop it thus giving her the chance to ask Rayquaza to destroy a meteorite that threatened to destroy the Hoenn region.

Rainbow Rocket[]

Maxie returns in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon, teaming up with Giovanni, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis and Lysandre to form Team Rainbow Rocket.

Pokémon Masters[]

Maxie appears as an obtainable sync pair in Pokémon Masters, being first introduced for the Masters of Land and Sea event as a scoutable sync pair. A five-star sync pair, he uses a Groudon who represents the Ground type.

In the event, Maxie is first seen talking to Brendan and May, commenting interest on how Lear made Pasio before going against Brendan and May's wishes by announcing his dream of capturing Groudon to expand the land of the world. However, he also expresses annoyance at Archie's schemes of plunging Pasio underwater, and decides to work with his foes on how to stop Archie under the condition he doesn't do anything shady.

Appearing on the beach with Brendan and May, Maxie and Brendan formulate a plan to use Groudon to combat Kyogre, with Brendan aiding Maxie to its location, while May would assist the player with finding Archie. Finding the cave with Brendan, Maxie notes of the only way to capture the beast is to fight it, before heading into the volcano the beast is in.

Reaching the cavern, it isn't long until Groudon emerges from the surrounding lava. Helping Brendan in fighting the beast with his Mightyena, Maxie asks Groudon to join him until Kyogre's cries alert Maxie to its threat. Heading to Archie, Maxie and Groudon team up to stop the two, with Maxie confronting his rival on his latest plot. Despite this, he decides to team up with him to stop Groudon and Kyogre.

With the help of the protagonists, Maxie is able to stop the Pokémon from fighting. As the two calm down, Maxie notes of his hypothesis of Groudon and Kyogre coming to Pasio due to Maxie and Archie's presence, while May interjects with her own theory of the two simply being overwhelmed. Regardless of outcome, Maxie asks Groudon to become his partner, to which it agrees. The final scene of the event has both Maxie and Archie on the beach together with their admins emerging as well, and while the two appreciate their short peace and decide to hold to it for a little while longer, they still decide to continue their rivalry later as they walk away.

Maxie next appears in the Hoenn-themed chapter of the second arc of of the main story, with Maxie and his admins first being seen standing in front of their grunts. Here, Courtney asks Maxie about the idea of attacking their rival team due to the latter having Groudon, only for the admin to shoot down the idea due to a lack of knowledge on Groudon's power. Maxie further notes of defeating Team Aqua not being the primary goal of their team, causing Courtney to pout and plan otherwise.

Despite this action not going through, the members of Team Magma and Team Aqua still find and battle each other in a nearby town, causing Brendan, May, and Wally to go investigate. This duel eventually subsides in a draw, as the leaders of both group lose interest in their unsatisfactory brawl. Even Groudon and Kyogre demanding they fight is broken up by the arrival of Rayquaza, which causes the two to flee. Due to this, the leaders of both teams decide to make the plans of finding their lost legendaries. Back at their base while Courtney does investigation work, Tabitha and Maxie discuss the lack of information on Groudon's whereabouts, with Maxie noting of his past with Archie to Looker and Paulo.

However, their peace is interrupted with a call of Courtney's rampage. Faced with the challenge of the admins wielding legendary Pokémon and their vicious trance, the remaining members of each team work together in order to defeat Groudon and Kyogre, using the ability of reasoning to stop their assault. However, the rampaging legends (and in turn, the berserk state Courtney was is) was stopped through Steven and Zinnia using their combined powers to destroy an incoming meteor and a device Team Rocket used to make the Pokémon become uncontrollable. After learning of Team Rocket's involvement in the incident, the two rival teams decide to call a truce, putting their rivalry to the side in order to protect Pasio.

In the anime[]

Maxie Tabitha2

Maxie with his right-hand minion Tabitha.

Maxie appeared in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends. Maxie's goal was to expand the land of Hoenn believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. But at the end of the latter episode, 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.

After the events of Groudon and Kyogre, Maxie's current status remains unknown but revealed by Officer Jenny that he officially disbanded Team Magma.

Pokémon Adventures[]

Like his rival, Maxie is noticeably more evil in his manga appearance. Despite operating Team Magma from a cave and being a heavy alcoholic, he is very effective in setting his plans into motion. He also possibly knows more about the legends than Archie, making a priority to steal the two orbs that control Groudon and Kyogre, giving him an edge over Aqua towards the climax.

When Magma had stolen Captain Stern's submarine and Aqua the key to use it, the two gangs called a temporary truce and dove to the Seafloor Cavern where they split up to search for their desired Pokémon, Archie finding his first. Maxie finally found Groudon nearly a day later but was still able to control both beasts with the Red and Blue Orb. After Archie sent one of his men to steal the Red Orb, Maxie and Archie were possessed by the Orbs powers during a fight with Ruby and Sapphire and rose to Sootopolis to fight each other ending with Rayquaza descending to put a stop to Groudon and Kyogre.

Maxie and Archie, no longer possessed went insane, teamed up for real and resorted to genocide with Maxie killing Norman. After they are defeated once again, they attempt to escape with Wallace's car which is halted by an electrical barrier. Ruby's Celebi flies in to recover the orbs and the two leaders were presumed dead after that point. Maxie was later supposedly killed by Archie in a dispute.
