Mr. Stone | ====History==== | ||
[[File:Mr Stone Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Mr. Stone in the {{ | =====Prior to {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===== | ||
Mr. Stone is a close friend of both [[Drake]] and [[Mr. Briney]]. During the Pokémon Association's attempt to capture and control [[Rayquaza]], Mr. Stone, and members of Devon were sent to the [[Embedded Tower]] to defeat it. Their operation would be hampered by the Draconid Lorekeeper, [[Aster]], who defended Rayquaza from Devon's attempt to subdue it. After a tumultuous battle, Aster was killed in the fight, and Rayquaza was transferred to the Pokémon Association's laboratory. | |||
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}===== | |||
Mr. Stone was first seen watching {{adv|Sapphire}} rescue his {{p|Castform}} from being sucked into a fountain during a trip through [[Petalburg Woods]]. After Sapphire rescued the Castform and healed it up, three members of [[Team Aqua]] attacked Mr. Stone and stole a [[Devon Parts|special machine]] from his pockets. Sapphire chased after the villains and defeated them with Castform's help, but they escaped with the machine. The stress was too much for Mr. Stone, who soon falls into a coma, but he hands Sapphire a [[letter]] to hand to his son, Steven, before passing out. His Castform decided to travel with [[Gabby and Ty]] while its owner was still unconscious. | |||
[[File:Mr Stone Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Mr. Stone in the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}]] | |||
The machine turns out to be a special component for the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which will allow it to dive to the depths of the ocean without being crushed by the depth's pressure. He and Steven aimed to use the Submarine Explorer 1 to seal the [[Seafloor Cavern]], as they realized that villains are aiming to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. With the component and the submarine stolen by Teams Magma and Aqua, Steven decided to use the backup plan of awakening the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} and use their power to prevent Groudon and Kyogre's clash from damaging Hoenn. Mr. Stone is later taken to [[New Mauville]] in order to escape the regions' flooding. As he lies unconscious, Mr. Stone begins muttering his son's name in his sleep. After meeting with Sapphire, Steven receives the letter from his father. The letter contained a piece of paper that completed a slab with instructions on how to awaken Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. With the help of Sapphire's Pokémon, Steven awakens the three Pokémon and uses them to help contain Groudon and Kyogre's power. | The machine turns out to be a special component for the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], which will allow it to dive to the depths of the ocean without being crushed by the depth's pressure.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}===== | |||
Mr. Stone and Steven lead an operation to prevent an incoming meteoroid from crashing into the Hoenn region. To assist him in this mission, Mr. Stone enlists the help of his old friends, [[Mr. Briney]] and [[Drake]], as well as the aid of [[Ultima]] of Two Island, who is tasked with teaching the Hoenn Pokédex holders, {{adv|Ruby}}, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}, the ultimate moves. The three Pokédex holders are also given a [[Mega Bracelet]], which they can use to activate Mega Evolution. | |||
Once Sapphire and Emerald finished their training, Mr. Stone has Mr. Briney take everyone to the [[Sea Mauville]], where a machine known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] is located. The next day, Mr. Stone and Steven use the Absorber on Sapphire's [[Chic]] and Emerald's {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} in their Mega-Evolved states. The process drains the life energy of the two Pokémon and transfers it into a machine capable of transporting the meteoroid away known as the dimensional shifter, but also causes intense pain to Chic and Sceptile. Despite the scene horrifying everyone else, Mr. Stone and Steven continue with the process. After the dimensional shifter is filled with enough energy, the area is attacked by [[Zinnia]] and her small army of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts in order to destroy the shifter. Everyone fights off Zinnia and her allies, but a wild {{p|Hoopa}} appears and uses its ring to warp Sapphire and the shifter to another location. After Ruby arrives to help, he manages to get Zinnia to leave by offering up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets. | Once Sapphire and Emerald finished their training, Mr. Stone has Mr. Briney take everyone to the [[Sea Mauville]], where a machine known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] is located.

After Ruby arrives to help, he manages to get Zinnia to leave by offering up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets. | ||
Afterwards, Mr. Stone and Steven are left behind on the Sea Mauville while everyone else goes off to find another way to stop the meteoroid. Dejected that his plans failed and friends abandoned him, Mr. Stone nearly gives up until Steven cheers him up by pointing out that Sapphire and the shifter have merely been transported somewhere else. They quickly receive a call from Professor Cozmo, who informs the two that Sapphire and the shifter safely arrived at Mossdeep City, but the Space Center is being swarmed by press members that were informed about the disaster that will strike Hoenn. Mr. Stone and Steven immediately head off to Mossdeep City to help with the press. | |||
Upon arriving, Mr. Stone helps Professor Cozmo with the rocket that the dimensional shifter was attached to. Sapphire tells Steven that she senses Zinnia's presence and goes off to stop her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash leads the two into battling on top of the rocket while it flies through the air. Eventually Sapphire is defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the shifter and knock the rocket into the ocean. | Upon arriving, Mr. Stone helps Professor Cozmo with the rocket that the dimensional shifter was attached to.

Later, Mr. Stone and Steven travel to Sootopolis City, where Zinnia was taken to after her attempts to get Rayquaza to join her ended in defeat.

After Zinnia finally opts to aid the others and reveals that the Lorekeeper was essentially on a suicide mission as they would travel to the vacuum of space in order to destroy meteor, Mr. Stone works with the admins of both Neo Team Aqua and Team Magma in order to craft [[Magma Suit|special]] [[Aqua Suit|suits]] to protect Ruby and Sapphire in space. | |||

Inside, one of Mr. Stone's employees showed him an invention which was an advanced power tool that Mr. Stone tried out, still calling Clefairy a failure.

Sapphire chased after the villains and defeated them with Castform's help, but they escaped with the machine. The stress was too much for Mr. Stone, who soon falls into a coma, but he hands Sapphire a letter to hand to his son, Steven, before passing out. His Castform decided to travel with Gabby and Ty while its owner was still unconscious.
Mr. Stone in the Ruby & Sapphire arc
The machine turns out to be a special component for the Submarine Explorer 1, which will allow it to dive to the depths of the ocean without being crushed by the depth's pressure. He and Steven aimed to use the Submarine Explorer 1 to seal the Seafloor Cavern, as they realized that villains are aiming to awaken Groudon and Kyogre. With the component and the submarine stolen by Teams Magma and Aqua, Steven decided to use the backup plan of awakening the Legendary Pokémon Regirock, Regice, and Registeel and use their power to prevent Groudon and Kyogre's clash from damaging Hoenn. Mr. Stone is later taken to New Mauville in order to escape the regions' flooding. As he lies unconscious, Mr. Stone begins muttering his son's name in his sleep. After meeting with Sapphire, Steven receives the letter from his father. The letter contained a piece of paper that completed a slab with instructions on how to awaken Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. With the help of Sapphire's Pokémon, Steven awakens the three Pokémon and uses them to help contain Groudon and Kyogre's power.
Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
Mr. Stone and Steven lead an operation to prevent an incoming meteoroid from crashing into the Hoenn region. To assist him in this mission, Mr. Stone enlists the help of his old friends, Mr. Briney and Drake, as well as the aid of Ultima of Two Island, who is tasked with teaching the Hoenn Pokédex holders, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the ultimate moves. The three Pokédex holders are also given a Mega Bracelet, which they can use to activate Mega Evolution.
Once Sapphire and Emerald finished their training, Mr. Stone has Mr. Briney take everyone to the Sea Mauville, where a machine known as the Absorber is located. The next day, Mr. Stone and Steven use the Absorber on Sapphire's Chic and Emerald's Sceptile in their Mega-Evolved states. The process drains the life energy of the two Pokémon and transfers it into a machine capable of transporting the meteoroid away known as the dimensional shifter, but also causes intense pain to Chic and Sceptile. Despite the scene horrifying everyone else, Mr. Stone and Steven continue with the process. After the dimensional shifter is filled with enough energy, the area is attacked by Zinnia and her small army of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts in order to destroy the shifter. Everyone fights off Zinnia and her allies, but a wild Hoopa appears and uses its ring to warp Sapphire and the shifter to another location. After Ruby arrives to help, he manages to get Zinnia to leave by offering up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets.
Afterwards, Mr. Stone and Steven are left behind on the Sea Mauville while everyone else goes off to find another way to stop the meteoroid. Dejected that his plans failed and friends abandoned him, Mr. Stone nearly gives up until Steven cheers him up by pointing out that Sapphire and the shifter have merely been transported somewhere else. They quickly receive a call from Professor Cozmo, who informs the two that Sapphire and the shifter safely arrived at Mossdeep City, but the Space Center is being swarmed by press members that were informed about the disaster that will strike Hoenn. Mr. Stone and Steven immediately head off to Mossdeep City to help with the press.
Upon arriving, Mr. Stone helps Professor Cozmo with the rocket that the dimensional shifter was attached to. Sapphire tells Steven that she senses Zinnia's presence and goes off to stop her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash leads the two into battling on top of the rocket while it flies through the air. Eventually Sapphire is defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the shifter and knock the rocket into the ocean.
Later, Mr. Stone and Steven travel to Sootopolis City, where Zinnia was taken to after her attempts to get Rayquaza to join her ended in defeat. Mr. Stone attempts to apologize to Zinnia for the trouble he caused in attempting to control Rayquaza. Zinnia rejects this apology and claims that Mr. Stone is only trying to save face for his failures, and criticizes the lack of "imagination" his scientific solution had brought.
After Zinnia finally opts to aid the others and reveals that the Lorekeeper was essentially on a suicide mission as they would travel to the vacuum of space in order to destroy meteor, Mr. Stone works with the admins of both Neo Team Aqua and Team Magma in order to craft special suits to protect Ruby and Sapphire in space.

Mr. Stone makes an appearance in Let's Invite Something New! Go! Go! Go!. Similarly to the games, he is the President of Devon Corporation.
Red were sightseeing around Rustboro City and notice the Devon Corporation. The group peek inside and see Mr. Stone doing his speeches and how he would get 3800 yen. He noticed the group outside and invited them in. Mr. Stone showed the group his inventions which made Clefairy excited. Seeing Clefairy's enthusiasm, Mr. Stone decided to have Clefairy try it out. Clefairy showed him a backpack that transformed into a helicopter. However, when Clefairy tried it out, the wing of the helicopter broke and the whole invention exploded. Mr. Stone became disappointed that Clefairy let him down.
Inside, one of Mr. Stone's employees showed him an invention which was an advanced power tool that Mr. Stone tried out, still calling Clefairy a failure. He used the tool which was actually a ray gun and zapped Clefairy. However, Clefairy survived instead of vanished even though Mr. Stone wanted Clefairy to disappear. As a result, he threw the ray gun on the floor and it broke, only for Pikachu to fix it. Mr. Stone became happy that Pikachu was able to program it to make Clefairy disappear but when Pikachu tried it out, it gave Clefairy a shiny feeling instead of what Mr. Stone wanted. As Clefairy left with the device, Mr. Stone and the employee from before slam the door to get him to come back. Mr. Stone, along with some people who were zapped by Clefairy, chase after him for making them look ugly. Mr. Stone then fell to the floor when Clefairy zapped himself in order to make himself look like a monster.
Unlike other media, Mr. Stone does not mention anything about his son, Steven, nor did Steven appear.
