; [[Rustboro City]]
* [[Devon Corporation]]
:''"I'm <sc>Mr. Stone</sc>, the <sc>President</sc> of the <sc>Devon Corporation</sc>. I'd just got word about you! You saved our staff not just once, but twice! I have a favor to ask of an amazing person like you. I understand that you're delivering a package to <sc>{{ci|Slateport}}</sc>'s <sc>[[Stern's Shipyard|Shipyard]]</sc>. Well, on the way, could you stop off in <sc>[[Dewford Town]]</sc>? I was hoping that you'd deliver a <sc>[[Letter]]</sc> to <sc>{{Steven}}</sc> in <sc>Dewford</sc>."''
:''"Now, you should know that I am a great <sc>President</sc>. So, I'd never be so cheap as to ask a favor for nothing in return. That's why I want you to have this!"''
:''"That device… It's a <sc>Pokémon Navigator</sc>, or <sc>[[PokéNav]]</sc> for short. It's an indispensable tool for any <sc>{{pkmn|Trainer}}</sc> on an adventure. It has a map of the <sc>[[Hoenn]]</sc> [[region]]. You can check the locations of <sc>Dewford</sc> and <sc>Slateport</sc> easily! {{tt|By the way, I've heard that sinister criminals—<sc>[[Team Magma|Magma]]</sc> and <sc>[[Team Aqua|Aqua]]</sc>, I believe—have been making trouble far and wide. I think it would be best if you rested up before you go on your way.|Emerald only}}"''
:''"{{tt|Well, then, <player>, go with caution and care!|Emerald only}}"''

* {{DL|PokéNav|Match Call}}{{sup/3|E}}
:''"Oh? <Player>! Since you called me, the <sc>PokéNav</sc> must be working properly! Other people will be registered, so try calling them up, too! Good! Good! You seem to be quite happy! Hm… How could I know that? It's because I'm looking down at you from my office window! Wahahaha! See you again!"''

* After delivering the Letter
:''"You delivered my <sc>Letter</sc>? Thank you kindly! This is my way of thanking you. It should help you, a <sc>Trainer</sc>."''
: ''"A {{ScPkmn}} holding that <sc>[[Exp. Share]]</sc> will be given some of the <sc>Exp</sc> Points from battle. It will get <sc>Exp</sc> Points even if it didn't actually battle. I would say <sc>Exp. Share</sc> is quite useful for raising weak Pokémon."''
: ''"Since my youth, I've immersed myself in work. Consequently, I'm not familiar with trends and that sort of thing. But do young people all want to be <sc>Trainers</sc> in the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>?"''

;Match Call{{sup/3|E}}
* After registering him in the Match Call 
: ''"Oh? <Player>! What's wrong? Have you forgotten about that little errand of mine? I need you to deliver my letter to <sc>Steven</sc> in <sc>Dewford</sc>. After that, deliver our parcel to <sc>[[Captain Stern|Capt. Stern]]</sc> in <sc>Slateport</sc>. You remember, don't you? Now, since I am a busy <sc>President</sc>, I have to go! Bye-bye!"''

* After delivering the Letter 
: ''"Oh! <Player>! Ah, so you've met <sc>Steven</sc>! I'd better reward you, then! When you visit <sc>Rustboro</sc> again, come see me at my office. I'll be waiting for you!"''

* After receiving the Exp. Share 
: ''"Oh! <Player>! Did you know that <sc>Devon</sc> was digging the <sc>[[Rusturf Tunnel]]</sc>? But we shut down the operation to protect the {{ScPkmn}} in the area. It's a no-brainer, really. It's more important to let {{ScPkmn}} live in peace than worry about our own convenience."''

* After connecting the two halves of Rusturf Tunnel
: ''"Hello, hello, <player>! I heard from someone in <sc>{{ci|Petalburg}}</sc> that you're <sc>Norman</sc>'s child! No wonder you're such a capable being!"''

* After receiving the {{badge|Balance}}
: ''"What's that? You battled your own father and defeated him? That's astounding! I had no idea that I befriended someone so special! Wahaha!"''
* After defeating [[Shelly]] at the [[Weather Institute]] 
: ''"Hello! This is <sc>Devon Corporati</sc>... Oh, hello, <player>! Our <sc>President</sc> was here a little while ago, but he's gone out. Our <sc>President</sc> is busy, but you seem to be just as busy, <player>."''
* After defeating [[Maxie]] at the {{OBP|Magma Hideout|Jagged Pass}}
: ''"...Huh? ...What's that? <sc>{{p|Groudon|Grou}}</sc>... Yes? ...<sc>{{p|Groudon|don}}</sc>? You're breaking up... ...can't hear... BZZZZ..."''
* After defeating [[Matt]] at the [[Team Aqua Hideout|Aqua Hideout]] 
: ''"...Huh? ...What's that? [[Seafloor Cavern|<sc>Seaflo</sc>]]... Yes? ...[[Seafloor Cavern|<sc>Caver</sc>]]...? You're breaking up... ...can't hear... BZZZZ..."''
* After receiving the {{badge|Rain}} 
: ''"<Player>! It's me! You were apparently involved in all sorts of things, but I, being busy, haven't a clue exactly what! However, I urge you to take the road you believe in and walk it. I'll always be in your corner! Take care!"''
* After becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}}
: ''"... ... ... ... ... ... Is this maybe <player>? Your voice is so full of confidence, I didn't recognize you right off! Hm! You must come visit us at <sc>Devon</sc> sometime!"''

===[[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]===
; Devon Corporation
:"''I'm Mr. Stone, the president of the Devon Corporation. I heard just now how we have quite a bit to thank you for. So you helped out my staff not just once, but twice! There's a favor I'd like to ask of a reliable {{pkmn|Trainer}} like you. Now I want you to know I'm a president you can trust. I'd never be so mean as to ask a favor for nothing in return. Here, give me your [[PokéNav Plus]] for a moment."''
:''"That function that I just added to your PokéNav Plus is called {{DL|PokéNav Plus|BuzzNav}}. It is an indispensable tool for any Trainer who is traveling out in the world. Use it, and you'll be able to get the latest news from around [[Hoenn|the region]] and from your own friends, anytime and anyplace. Now let me get to the important issue of what it is I need you to do..."''
:''"I want to ask you to deliver this [[Letter]] to a man named {{Steven}}. You should find him in {{to|Dewford}}."''
:''"You'll have to cross the sea to reach Dewford, of course. I'll ask [[Mr. Briney]], the old sailor who lives in that hut on {{rt|104|Hoenn}}, to help with the crossing. Go find him, and he should agree to help you. I'm counting on you, young {{tt|man|If player's gender is male}}/{{tt|lady|If player's gender is female}}! If you're ever unsure of what to do, just come and talk with me again!"''

*If talked to again
:"''Deliver that {{color|00aeef|Letter}} to {{color|00aeef|Steven}} in {{color|00aeef|Dewford Town}} for me! You'll have to cross the sea to reach Dewford, of course. I'll ask {{color|00aeef|Mr. Briney}}, the old sailor who lives in that hut on {{color|00aeef|Route 104}}, to help with the crossing. Go find him, and he should agree to help you. I'm counting on you, young {{tt|man|If player's gender is male}}/{{tt|lady|If player's gender is female}}!"''

* If player has [[List of American region Nintendo Network event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Steven's Beldum|Steven's Shiny Beldum]]
:''Oho! Th-that Pokémon you have... Could it be that rare white specimen? There cannot be more than one such specimen in the world! So pure... So sublime... Its sparkle is indeed the ultimate! I would love to see how it would stand up to [[Steven's Metagross|Steven's Beldum]]..."''

* If player has the [[Intriguing Stone]]
:''"Hm? Ah. That Intriguing Stone you have... On second look, it seems to be [[Pidgeotite]], doesn't it?"''
:''"To be carrying around a [[Mega Stone]] like that... It looks like you're also a bit of a connoisseur."''

;[[Delta Episode]]
:''"Well, welcome, welcome. It's been quite a while... hasn't it? Ho ho ho... I suppose I'm just getting old. Recently I seem to forget details just as soon as I learn them... Ho ho ho ho..."''
:''"Ahem! Oh, I know. I know what [[Steven Stone|you]] want to say. My, what a hasty, impatient one you are! What are we to do with such an impatient one for our {{pkmn|Champion|Pokémon League Champion}}? ...Hm? Oh, is that so? So you're the new Champion, <player>? Then I guess we'll never break you of that impatience after all, Steven! Ho ho ho ho!"''
:''"Bah... I know... I know... Can't you take a joke..."''
:''"Now then, <player>. I'm afraid that I'm planning to start in on a rather long and quite heavy topic. Are you sure that you're ready to take all of it in?"''
::'''Not really:''' ''"Hmph. Well, if you're not ready, then I guess that's that. When you do start to feel ready, come to talk to me again."''
::'''I guess so:''' ''"Hmm... Then I suppose I should begin."''
:''"Let me first take us back 3,000 years, to the days when this story began... There was a great war at that time, in [[Kalos|a region far from here]]. That war was finally brought to an end by a [[Ultimate weapon|weapon]] created by [[AZ|one man]]. And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon... There are surely many people who would call it reprehensible. But my grandfather, the president of Devon before me, said this... "Couldn't we use the energy to improve the lives of people and Pokémon?" And so he developed our greatest creation here at the Devon Corporation: [[Infinity Energy]]. Thanks to Infinity Energy, Devon was able to become one of the top industries in Hoenn and developed into the giant you see today. You may be surprised to learn that the [[Devon Parts]] you once recovered for us were in fact parts of a motor that would make it possible to power a submarine using Infinity Energy. It was not long before we began to expand our attempts to further human development. Next, we moved into exploring space. The rockets launched from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] using our Infinity Energy... They are the true results of our dreams, our passion, and our technology. But never did we imagine they could end up as the best hope for saving our world."''
:''"My preamble has been quite long, but we arrive at last at the real issue. That is the overwhelming catastrophe which now approaches us. [[Grand Meteor Delta|A huge asteroid]], more than six miles in diameter, is currently on track to collide with our planet. We have been working together with the Mossdeep Space Center, which was first to recognize this danger. We are devising countermeasures that would use our rockets, but... In order for these plans to succeed, though, we need a [[Meteorite Shard]]."''
:''"Hah! That's my boy, all right! I knew you'd understand at once."''
:''"I want you to make your way to the {{color2|00aeef|Granite Cave}} near Dewford. According to our surveys, you should be able to find the kind of {{color|00aeef|Meteorite Shards}} that we need there. And you, Steven... I want you, son, to head for the Space Center at once to start the preparations, using that [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]] that I gave you."''
:''"...Steven? You be careful."''
:''"Then...I will be counting on the two of you to take care of this for me. If you forget just what it is you need to do, come talk to me again... Assuming I remember as well! Ho ho..."''

*If talked to again
:''"I want you to go to {{color|00aeef|Granite Cave}}. Based on our research, you should find the kind of {{color|00aeef|Meteorite Shard}} that we will need. I'm counting on you."''

*After obtaining the Meteorite Shard
:''"Steven headed for the Mossdeep Space Center a little while ago. I hope you'll deliver the Meteorite Shard to him at once. I'm counting on you!"''

*After delivering the Meteorite Shard
:''"Steven seems to have headed out for Meteor Falls. I sure hope he'll find something useful there..."''

*After Steven obtains the second Meteorite Shard
:''"The last hope of humanity... If we lose the dimensional shifter now, we will have no way to stop that asteroid from striking our planet..."''

*After the dimensional shifter is broken
:''"The dimensional shifter was destroyed by one of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]]...? Why...? Why would the Draconid people...?

*After the Delta Episode
:''"Thanks to the heroic actions of you young people and your Pokémon teams... we have been able to dispel the threat of the asteroid without a single loss! Perhaps I have put too much of my faith in technology's promise alone. Perhaps my belief that the sacrifice of some might be necessary to guarantee the safety of many – Perhaps it was wrong all along.''"
