Will Max ever get a Pokemon?

[miyo]

I'll never forget that Ralts episode, because Ralts is my fave pokemon^_^ (look at my sig), Max seems more reliable a person than Ash is, he'll probably come back for the Ralts he met back then. He seems to me to be what Ash was like when he was 8, only Max is MUCH smarter.

I totally agree on the part where Max is much smarter.. XD
But I'd personally prefer a Gardevoir to a Ralts.. not because of their difference in power, but I just find Gardevoir a lot more elegant :P
