A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the [[Mr. Stone|president]] of the [[Devon Corporation]], and makes his home in [[Mossdeep City]]. In {{game|Emerald}}, he is no longer the Champion—due to [[Wallace]] taking his place—and instead wanders the Hoenn region, aiding the {{player}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}.

==In the games==
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Steven is first met in [[Granite Cave]] when the {{player}} delivers him a [[letter]] from [[Mr. Stone|his father]]. As thanks, Steven gives the player the [[TM]] for {{m|Steel Wing}} before leaving. He is later briefly met again on {{rt|118|Hoenn}} after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, he gifts the player with the [[Devon Scope]], allowing them to detect invisible {{p|Kecleon}}. At his house in [[Mossdeep City]], Steven gives the player {{HM|08|Dive}}. After {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|R}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|S}} has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to [[Sootopolis City]], where he escorts them to the [[Cave of Origin]]. Later, at the {{ho|Pokémon League}} in [[Ever Grande City]], Steven reveals himself to be the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the [[Hall of Fame]].
[[File:Steven challenge RS.png|240px|left|thumb|{{ga|Brendan}} challenging Steven in Ruby and Sapphire]]
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven appears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Hoenn]] region. His strategy in battle is to use {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to find the weaknesses of his opponents, with his {{p|Metagross}} being the cornerstone of his team.


In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones, which he claims he would {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}} to find. Fittingly, the {{player}} can find and challenge him in the upper area of [[Meteor Falls]] after they defeat the new Champion, [[Wallace]].
In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping [[Team Magma]]'s takeover of the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] by joining them in a [[Multi Battle]] against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, [[Wallace]], a special chamber opens up at [[Meteor Falls]], where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.


In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a {{p|Beldum}} and a note for the player at his house in [[Mossdeep City]].
In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones and returned to his home after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.


In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the man who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven.
Steven also appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, introducing himself as the [[Hoenn]] Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s [[Lost Item]], where he will inform them that there have been reports of a {{p|Latios}}{{sup/4|SS}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/4|HG}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Kanto]]. The player meets him a second time after defeating {{ga|Red}} in [[Mt. Silver Cave]], appearing in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three Hoenn [[first partner Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} for a {{p|Forretress}}.

Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three Hoenn [[starter Pokémon]]. He can later be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to [[trade]] a Beldum for a {{p|Forretress}}.
If the player has the [[Enigma Stone]] and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the [[Soul Dew]] from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, Latias{{sup/4|SS}}/Latios{{sup/4|HG}} will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a tourist who visits [[Undella Town]] in the {{season|summer}} mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In {{B2W2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five [[generation]]s as an opponent in the [[Champions Tournament]] at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for [[Primal Reversion]], and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting [[Southern Island]] to defend Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}} from Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Team Aqua]]{{sup/6|AS}}, after which he gives the player a [[Mega Bracelet]] and teaches them about [[Mega Evolution]] before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the [[Mega Stone]] for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.
 
Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. He summons the player to his help via their [[PokéNav Plus]], first having them come to the [[Devon Corporation]] building in [[Rustboro City]] so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a [[Meteorite Shard]] required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the [[Draconid people]]. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Team Aqua{{sup/6|AS}}, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and a [[Grunt]]. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by [[Zinnia]], who calls Steven and [[Professor Cozmo]] out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use {{p|Rayquaza}} to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the [[Sky Pillar]]. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.
 
After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the [[Battle Maison]]. After he's beaten in a [[rematch]] at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a [[Metagrossite]].
 
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed.

{{main|Steven Stone (anime)}}
[[File:Steven Stone anime AG.png|thumb|220px|Steven in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Steven Stone is a recurring character in the anime. He debuted in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]'' in a minor role before reappearing as a {{pkmn|Champion}} in the ''[[Mega Evolution Specials]]'' with a {{shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} as an ally to [[Alain]]. He later assisted {{ash}} and {{ashfr}} during the climax of the [[Team Flare]] arc during ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and took part in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
Steven was first mentioned by [[Mr. Stone|his father]] in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' who claimed he would be a good person for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to know. In ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] informed [[Max]] that Steven was in nearby [[Granite Cave]], so the group began their search for him.
{{-}}
 
He then appeared in person in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but was simply a powerful {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Instead, [[Wallace]] was said to be the Champion later in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Steven and his {{p|Aron}} were digging in Granite Cave, looking for rare stones. As {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} fell down a hole, Steven his excavation and quickly checked out what caused the crash to occur. Steven first found Max, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{MTR}} wondering around the cave.
 
Having been in Granite Cave for several months, Steven escorted Max and the others to a crack in the cave floor. Soon enough they spotted Ash and the others, who were being chased by a horde of agitated Aron. He ordered them to rush over to the nearby waterfall. At the meeting spot, Steven had his own Aron use {{m|Roar}} to calm the agitated horde. He then told the horde that the group were good people and ordered the back to their roosts. After both sides were reunited with each other, Steven found out that Team Rocket were the ones who caused the Aron to get angry. Steven handled Team Rocket on his own by having his {{p|Aggron}} blast them off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. Afterwards, Steven found a [[Fire Stone]] with the help of Aron. He decided to lead the group out of Granite Cave and took them to a deserted inlet, an ideal place for Ash to train for his [[rematch]] with [[Brawly]]. Having found a rare stone, Steven boarded his small boat to continue his search for other stones and wished the group luck for the future.
 
====={{series|XY}}=====
======''Mega Evolution Specials''======
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Steven in the {{series|XY}}]]
Steven reappeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', where he battled [[Alain]] using his {{Shiny}} [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but the battle was interrupted by [[Lysandre]]. Deciding to cooperate with Alain and company, Steven traveled to their destination, a small temple with two pillars in the center. When Alain and Steven held their [[Key Stone]]s to the monument, a staircase of light appeared to lead them further within the ancient ruin. There, they discovered a similar mechanism that summoned a glowing [[Giant Rock]] from underneath the ruin. After Lysandre and his research team began analyzing the giant stone, a {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Rayquaza}} appeared from the sky, Mega Evolved into Mega Rayquaza, and started wreaking havoc on the surrounding area. Alain, Steven, and their Mega Pokémon partners tried to fend off the Legendary Pokémon, but were overwhelmed.
 
In this [[series]], Steven was confirmed to be the current Champion of the Hoenn League, indicating that Wallace no longer holds the title. In ''[[SS032|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Steven brought Alain and [[Mairin]] to the [[Devon Corporation]] headquarters to analyze the situation of the missing Giant Rock. There, they received a conference call from Lysandre, who informed them that both {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (XY)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (XY)|Kyogre}} have undergone [[Primal Reversion]] and were set to collide in the middle of the ocean. Steven recalled the Primal Reversion myth, and feared that the two Pokémon clashing again could have catastrophic consequences. As a result, he and Alain departed on a plane to check on the situation from the sky, with Mairin secretly stowing away with them.
 
In ''[[SS035|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', he, Mairin, and [[Chespie]] returned to [[Kalos]]. They contacted [[Professor Sycamore]] regarding Alain as he separated from them. Later, they arrived at [[Lysandre Labs]] with Lysandre and his secretary waiting for them. While Lysandre's secretary escorted Mairin to watch Alain battle ten Trainers, Steven and Lysandre discussed the Giant Rock. Lysandre showed Steven the Giant Rock in another room and explained that it is kept in a high-security tank to prevent energy from leaking out, as well as bringing up the fact that the [[weather trio]] fought in [[Hoenn]] previously. Steven was then seen watching the battle between Alain and [[Malva]]. After the battle, Steven arrived to where Chespie was lying on a bed, unconscious from absorbing too much energy from an experiment.
 
======Kalos======
Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', in which he met with [[Sawyer]]. He also appeared in another flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]''.
 
From''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Steven joined the battle against [[Team Flare]]. He eventually battled alongside Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]], and all of Kalos's [[Gym Leader]]s in order to stop the [[Giant Rock]].
 
It was revealed in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'' that Steven gave Sawyer a [[Key Stone]]. Later, in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Steven and Sawyer were shown at Lysandre Labs, studying the Giant Rock that was recently held there. He proceeded to give Sawyer some information, which Sawyer promptly wrote down in his notebook.
 
====Character====
[[File:Steven and Sawyer.png|thumb|250px|Steven and Sawyer]]
Similar to his game counterpart, Steven is reserved and interested in collecting [[evolutionary stone|stones]]. During the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, he did care for the {{p|Aron}} in the [[Granite Cave]] and attempted to stop a herd of them from chasing {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}}. He battled Team Rocket after discovering that they were the ones who made the Aron horde angry.
 
During the {{series|XY}}, he became more open to Trainers, such as [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]]. He is seen as a sort of mentor figure by Sawyer, whom Steven gave a [[Key Stone]] and [[Mega Stone#Sceptilite|Sceptilite]]. His usual calm, and a bit playful demeanor is constantly reflected throughout the series, such as during his battles against Alain and [[Mable]]; nevertheless, he can be serious when the situation demands. In a particular instance, he was not greatly disappointed or enraged after learning Lysandre's true intentions, displaying his happy-go-lucky personality.
 
Being the gentle and playful person as he is, he was not worried one bit, when he and his {{TP|Steven Stone|Metagross}} were outnumbered by Mable and {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s during their battle, also reflecting his strong bond and great confidence in his Pokémon. He tends to appreciate others for their efforts, and has a great sense of honor for fellow [[Pokémon Champion|Champion]]s, as displayed during his interactions with [[Diantha]].

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
====={{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Steven is the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, having taken the position from [[Wallace]], who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.  
Steven is the Champion of the Hoenn [[region]], having taken the title from Wallace after he decided to become the {{ci|Sootopolis}} [[Gym Leader]] despite winning the Pokémon League. Along with his father, [[Mr. Stone]], Steven was aware of the actions of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] and their goal to awaken the Legendary Pokémon {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. In order to prevent this from happening, Steven and his father had the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] created so that they may travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] and create a seal to prevent the villains from reaching the Pokémon.


Steven debuts in ''[[PS196|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]'', where he talks to [[Captain Stern]] about the upcoming completion of the Submarine Explorer 1. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven appears in [[Granite Cave]], where he finds {{adv|Ruby}} being attacked by a group of {{p|Mawile}}. Steven rescues Ruby and they manage to escape from the Mawile together. After escaping the cave, Steven considers recruiting Ruby into helping him stop Teams Magma and Aqua, but decides against it due to Ruby's young age. Afterwards, Steven says farewell to Ruby and heads off.
Steven debuted in ''[[PS191|Blowing Past Nosepass II]]''. There, he spoke to [[Captain Stern]] about the status of the creation of the [[Submarine Explorer 1]]. In ''[[PS194|Guile from Mawile]]'', Steven rescued {{adv|Ruby}} from a hoard of rampaging {{p|Mawile}} in [[Granite Cave]]. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.


In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven appears to save [[Wallace]] from a rampaging Tabitha, who had gone berserk after coming in contact with the Blue Orb. He reveals that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen by Team Magma, Steven traveled to other regions to look for allies to help when Groudon and Kyogre are awakened. Steven's search led him to the Hoenn Elite Four, as they were the only people who he could think of that could help. Steven has Wallace head to Sootopolis City while he says behind to defeat Tabitha. Before Wallace leaves, Steven relinquishes his Champion cloak and passes the title of Hoenn League Champion over to him.  
In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', Steven arrived at the [[Lilycove Department Store]] and found Wallace battling [[Tabitha]], who had gone berserk from touching the [[Blue Orb]]. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn [[Elite Four]] as allies against {{adv|Super-ancient Pokémon|Groudon and Kyogre}}. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Brandon's legendary giants#Pokémon Adventures|Registeel, Regirock, and Regice]] were sealed. With a [[blind boy]]'s help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.  


As Steven battles Tabitha, the Elite Four work to try and awaken {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}, three Legendary Pokémon capable of containing the power released by Groudon and Kyogre as they clash with each other. With the help of a [[blind boy]], Steven attempted to decipher a stone slab containing the secret to awakening the three Pokémon. Due to the slab being damaged, the boy is unable to fully translate the missing pieces, forcing Steven to abandon his plan. After Tabitha is defeated, Steven heads off to Sootopolis.
In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven found [[Sootopolis City]] surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued {{adv|Sapphire}}, who handed him a [[letter]] she received from his father, [[Mr. Stone]]. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's {{p|Wailord|Lorry}} and {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, Steven successfully awakened {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Regice}}. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now IV]]'', when Ruby and [[Norman]] ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}'s power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.  


In ''[[PS253|A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I]]'', Steven arrives at Sootopolis, only to find the entire island surrounded in an explosion of energy. He finds {{adv|Sapphire}} in the middle of the explosion and goes to rescue her. Sapphire reveals that she was tasked with giving Steven a [[letter]] by Mr. Stone. Steven is given the letter, which contains the missing piece of the stone slab. With it, the blind boy is able to figure out that they need a {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}} to open the caves where Registeel, Regirock, and Regice sleep. Sapphire uses her Lorry and Relly to open the caves, allowing Steven to obtain the three Legendary Pokémon. Despite this victory, another explosion separates Sapphire from Steven, causing her and Ruby to end up on {{gdis|Mirage Island|III}}.  
In ''[[PS263|It All Ends Now VIII]]'', Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}'s [[time travel]] powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.


While Ruby and Sapphire train on Mirage Island, Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four each control one of the Legendary Pokémon in three teams of two. They spend the next few weeks using the Pokémon to contain the energy generated by Groudon and Kyogre's clash so that it doesn't get released onto the Hoenn region.
====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
[[File: Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. In ''[[PS596|Metagross Investigates]]'', Steven had [[Ultima]] train the Hoenn [[Pokédex holder]]s' Pokémon—[[Mumu]], [[Chic]], and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use [[Mega Evolution]]. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.


[[File:Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]
In ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]'', Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the [[Sea Mauville]]. The former energy plant contained a machine called an [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the [[Mythical Pokémon]], revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.
After Ruby manages to stop Groudon and Kyogre and return them to their slumber, Steven collapses from the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon for so long and dies soon after. With Steven's death, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice lash out at their controllers and proceed to return to the wild. Steven is later revived by Ruby's {{adv|Celebi}}, who uses its [[time travel]] powers to reverse time on the people who died during the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.


====={{chap|Platinum}}=====
In [[PS603]], Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the [[Devon Corporation]]. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's [[Key Stone]] but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's [[Mega Bracelet]]s in exchange.  
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven is seen selling his [[Villa]] after having collected a variety of stones in the Sinnoh region. This Villa is later purchased by {{adv|Platinum}} so that she can live there while performing investigations on the island.


====={{chap|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
In [[PS606]], Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]] stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While [[Professor Cozmo]] and [[Professor Cozmo's assistants|his assistants]] outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to [[Mossdeep City]] to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In [[PS608]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.
[[Professor Cozmo]] discovers that a meteoroid will crash into the Hoenn region and destroy everything. To counter this disaster, Steven enlists the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and {{adv|Emerald}}. Steven has [[Ultima]] train the three Pokédex holders' starter Pokémon in mastering the ultimate moves so that they may be prepared to use Mega Evolution. Due to Ruby having business elsewhere at the time, Steven trains Ruby's [[Mumu]] in his place. Eventually, the three Pokémon master the ultimate moves, but with Ruby still having not returned, only [[Chic]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} are able to Mega Evolve. Despite this, Mr. Stone orders to move onto the next stage of the plan without Ruby.


In ''[[PAORAS05|Omega Alpha Adventure 5]]'', the group travels to [[Sea Mauville]], an abandoned energy harvesting plant owned by a rival company of Devon's. The plant contained a machine known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorber]] that will power a dimensional shifter so that the meteoroid will be dealt with. That night, Emerald is attacked by a mischievous {{p|Hoopa}}. Steven assists Emerald in battling the Pokémon and reveals that he can use Mega Evolution as well. They battle the Pokémon together, but it escapes before they can defeat or identify its identity.
In [[PS615]], Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, [[Kanto]], and [[Johto]] to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the [[Embedded Tower]]. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late [[Aster]], Steven explained he received those from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the [[Kalos]] region.


The next day, Steven and Mr. Stone begin to use the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic in their Mega-Evolved states. The process hurts their Pokémon intensely, causing their Trainers to be horrified. After the process is finished, they are attacked by [[Zinnia]], a [[Draconid people|Draconid]] with a hatred for the Devon Corporation. She attacks with her small army of former Team Magma and Aqua Grunts to destroy the dimensional shifter that was powered by Sceptile and Chic's energy. Steven Mega Evolves his Metagross to assist his allies in protecting the shifter from being destroyed. After some time, Ruby returns to try and convince Zinnia to stop the battle, only to learn that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared. With the shifter gone, Zinnia decides to turn her attention to Steven and steal his Key Stone. Ruby stops Zinnia by giving up his and Emerald's Key Stones in exchange for Steven's. Zinnia agrees to Ruby's bribe and retreats.
In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.  


In ''[[PAORAS10|Omega Alpha Adventure 10]]'' Steven and Mr. Stone stay behind on Sea Mauville while Ruby and the others head elsewhere. Mr. Stone mourns the loss of dimensional shifter, but Steven points out that the cause of Sapphire's disappearance was due to Hoopa, meaning the shifter is still intact, but is in another location. They get a call from the Mossdeep Space Center stating that Sapphire ended up there and gave the shifter to Professor Cozmo and his assistants. Due to news about the meteoroid being leaked to the press, the Space Center is being swarmed by reporters. Steven and Mr. Stone decide to head over there to help Professor Cozmo.
Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking {{p|Diancie}} back to its home in Kalos.


In ''[[PAORAS12|Omega Alpha Adventure 12]]'', Steven and Mr. Stone arrive to help 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.
====={{MangaArc|Platinum}}=====
 
In ''[[PS417|Leaping Past Lopunny]]'', Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the [[Sinnoh]] region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the [[Villa]] he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by {{adv|Platinum}} shortly afterward.
In ''[[PAORAS19|Omega Alpha Adventure 19]]'', Steven and his father travel to Sootopolis City, where Zinnia was taken to after her attempts to get {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} to join her ended in defeat. Mr. Stone attempts to apologize to Zinnia for the trouble he caused in attempting to control Rayquaza, but Zinnia rejects Mr. Stone's apology and claims that he is only trying to save face for his failures. Now brought to tears, Zinnia gives up and claims there is nothing they can do to stop the planet from being destroyed. This angers Emerald, who claims that they shouldn't give up and there must still be something they can do to save the planet. Together, the group comes up with a plan to gather people from Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto to assist in stopping the meteoroid, now known as [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. As the plan is being set up, Steven gives Zinnia a jar of Key Stones belonging to [[Aster]] that were collected from the Embedded Tower. When Zinnia assumes the Key Stones Steven possessed were taken from the jar, Steven reveals that he actually received his Key Stone from the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]] in the Kalos region.
 
In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta commences. While Ruby and Sapphire ride Mega Rayquaza and have it attack Grand Meteor Delta with {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, Steven and the three allied regions launch a simultaneous attack. The combined might successfully shatters the meteoroid into pieces. Later, Steven watches with everyone as they watch Rayquaza fly back down with Ruby and Sapphire. After everything had returned to normal, Ruby reveals that {{p|Diancie}} will travel with Steven to the Kalos region.

Steven Stone (Japanese: ツワブキ・ダイゴ Daigo Tsuwabuki) is a skilled Trainer who specializes in Steel-type Pokémon. He is the Champion of the Hoenn region's Pokémon League in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, as well as the Hoenn League Champion during Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

A collector of rare stones, Steven is the son of the president of the Devon Corporation, and makes his home in Mossdeep City. In the Hoenn-based games, he wanders the region, aiding the player on their journey. In Pokémon Emerald, he is no longer the Champion, with Wallace taking his place.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Steven is first met in Granite Cave when the player delivers him a letter from his father. As thanks, Steven gives the player the TM for Steel Wing before leaving. He is later briefly met again on Route 118 after the player has crossed the body of water running across the route. On Route 120, he gifts the player with the Devon Scope, allowing them to detect invisible Kecleon. At his house in Mossdeep City, Steven gives the player HM08 (Dive). After GroudonR/KyogreS has been awakened, Steven tells the player follow him to Sootopolis City, where he escorts them to the Cave of Origin. Later, at the Pokémon League in Ever Grande City, Steven reveals himself to be the Hoenn League Champion. Following his defeat, he escorts the player into the Hall of Fame.

In Pokémon Emerald, Steven is a powerful, wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. In addition to the encounters in Ruby and Sapphire, Steven now also assists the player in stopping Team Magma's takeover of the Mossdeep Space Center by joining them in a Multi Battle against Maxie and Tabitha. Once the player has defeated the new Champion, Wallace, a special chamber opens up at Meteor Falls, where Steven challenges the player to a high-level battle.

In Pokémon Platinum, the person who gives the player their villa in the Resort Area mentions that the man who gave him the villa came to Sinnoh to collect rare stones and returned to his home after finding all the rare stones he wanted, heavily hinting that the previous owner was Steven.

Steven also appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, introducing himself as the Hoenn Champion. The player first meets him when they leave the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City after collecting Copycat's Lost Item, where he will inform them that there have been reports of a LatiosSS/LatiasHG roaming Kanto. The player meets him a second time after defeating Red in Mt. Silver Cave, appearing in the Silph Co. building in Saffron City and letting the player choose one of three colored stones: the Green Stone, the Red Stone, or the Blue Stone. Depending on which color is picked, he will give the player one of the three Hoenn first partner Pokémon. He can later be found in the Pewter Museum of Science, examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building and offer to trade the player a Beldum for a Forretress.

If the player has the Enigma Stone and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, an event will occur in which Steven will be talking to one of the museum's researchers. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the Soul Dew from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, LatiasSS/LatiosHG will be waiting to battle the player, drawn to them by the Soul Dew. Once it has been caught, Steven will head back to Hoenn.

In Pokémon Black and White, a tourist who visits Undella Town in the summer mentions Steven, explaining that he is a very powerful Pokémon Trainer who collects stones. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, Steven appears alongside the other Champions from the first five generations as an opponent in the Champions Tournament at the Pokémon World Tournament.

In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven performs mostly the same role as he did in Ruby and Sapphire, with several alterations. For example, the encounter with him in Granite Cave now serves as foreshadowing for Primal Reversion, and the encounter with him on Route 118 leads to him and the player visiting Southern Island to defend LatiosOR/LatiasAS from Team MagmaOR/Team AquaAS, after which he gives the player a Mega Bracelet and teaches them about Mega Evolution before they return to mainland and part ways. On Route 120, in addition to the Devon Scope, he also gives the player the Mega Stone for the Hoenn first partner Pokémon they chose at the start of the game.

Steven plays a major role in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Delta Episode, attempting to find a way to stop a giant meteoroid from destroying the Pokémon world. He summons the player to his help via their PokéNav Plus, first having them come to the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City so that his father can explain the situation. Afterwards, Steven heads for the Mossdeep Space Center, while the player retrieves a Meteorite Shard required to power a device called the dimensional shifter, which is meant to warp the meteoroid away. Steven later retrieves another Meteorite Shard from Meteor Falls for the same purpose, where he and the player also meet an elder of the Draconid people. When the Space Center is later invaded by Team MagmaOR/Team AquaAS, the player joins Steven in a Multi Battle against CourtneyOR/MattAS and a Grunt. Afterwards, the dimensional shifter is stolen and destroyed by Zinnia, who calls Steven and Professor Cozmo out on not considering the possibility that the device could've sent the meteoroid to another world that would have no method of dealing with it. Figuring that Zinnia is trying to use Rayquaza to stop the meteoroid, Steven enlists Wallace's help in letting the player gain access to the Sky Pillar. At the end of the Delta Episode, a cutscene shows Steven requesting Wallace to take his place as Champion once he leaves the Pokémon League to travel someday, which Wallace accepts.

After the Delta Episode, Steven also appears as a Multi Battle partner at the Battle Maison. After he's beaten in a rematch at the Pokémon League, he gives the player a Metagrossite.

In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the Hall of Fame, Steven will leave a Beldum and a note for the player at his house in Mossdeep City. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he leaves one for the player after the Delta Episode is fully completed.

Steven in Pokémon Adventures
Ruby & Sapphire arc

Steven is the Hoenn League Champion, having taken the position from Wallace, who turned down the title despite winning the previous Pokémon League tournament.

Steven debuted in Blowing Past Nosepass II. There, he spoke to Captain Stern about the status of the creation of the Submarine Explorer 1. In Guile from Mawile, Steven rescued Ruby from a hoard of rampaging Mawile in Granite Cave. Once they escaped, Steven considered recruiting Ruby to help him combat Team Magma and Team Aqua, but decided against it due to Ruby's young age. Steven said his farewells to Ruby and headed off.

In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII, Steven arrived at the Lilycove Department Store and found Wallace battling Tabitha, who had gone berserk from touching the Blue Orb. Steven revealed that after the Submarine Explorer 1 was stolen, he went to other regions and recruited the Hoenn Elite Four as allies against Groudon and Kyogre. Steven passed his title of Hoenn League Champion to Wallace and sent the Elite Four to three locations where the Legendary Pokémon Registeel, Regirock, and Regice were sealed. With a blind boy's help, Steven attempted to decipher an stone slab containing the secret to awaken the sleeping Pokémon. The slab was too damaged to properly translate, forcing the plan to be abandoned.

In A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel I, Steven found Sootopolis City surrounded by a massive explosion of energy. Amidst the chaos, Steven found and rescued Sapphire, who handed him a letter she received from his father, Mr. Stone. The letter contained a decoding for the missing part of the slab, allowing Steven to finish the translation. With assistance from Sapphire's Lorry and Relly, Steven successfully awakened Registeel, Regirock, and Regice. Steven and Sapphire were then separated by another explosion. Steven, Wallace, and the Elite Four separated into three teams of two and used Registeel, Regirock, and Regice to contain the energy generated from Groudon and Kyogre's clash and prevent it from spreading throughout Hoenn. Their efforts lasted for several weeks until It All Ends Now IV, when Ruby and Norman ended Groudon and Kyogre's battle with Rayquaza's power, returning the super-ancient Pokémon to their slumber. Controlling three Legendary Pokémon for so long left Steven so exhausted that he collapsed and died soon after. With Steven's passing, Registeel, Regirock, and Regice returned to the wild.

In It All Ends Now VIII, Steven and those who lost their lives in the fight against Groudon and Kyogre were revived by Ruby's Celebi's time travel powers. With Team Magma and Team Aqua defeated, Steven celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc
Steven in the thirteenth chapter

In the thirteenth chapter, it was discovered that Grand Meteor Delta, a giant meteoroid, would crash into Hoenn and destroy the planet. To prevent this disaster, Steven enlisted the help of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. In Metagross Investigates, Steven had Ultima train the Hoenn Pokédex holders' Pokémon—Mumu, Chic, and Sceptile—in mastering the ultimate moves so they would be prepared to use Mega Evolution. Despite Ruby being elsewhere on other business, Mr. Stone had everyone move onto the next phase once the training had finished.

In Beedrill Prepares, Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald arrived on the Sea Mauville. The former energy plant contained a machine called an Absorber capable of fueling a dimensional shifter designed to deal with Grand Meteor Delta. That night, Emerald was attacked by a mischievous Hoopa. Steven assisted Emerald in battling the Mythical Pokémon, revealing he was capable of using Mega Evolution as well. Hoopa eventually escaped before Steven and Emerald could defeat or identify it.

In PS603, Steven and Mr. Stone used the Absorber to drain Emerald's Sceptile and Sapphire's Chic of their life energy while in their Mega-Evolved states. Once the process was finished, the Sea Mauville was raided by by Zinnia, a Draconid with a hatred for the Devon Corporation. Zinnia and her allies made of former Team Magma and Aqua members attempted to destroy the dimensional shifter, forcing Steven, Sapphire, and Emerald to defend it. By the time Ruby returned, everyone realized that Sapphire and the shifter had disappeared due to Hoopa's interference. With the shifter gone, Zinnia attempted to steal Steven's Key Stone but was convinced to leave when Ruby offered up his and Emerald's Mega Bracelets in exchange.

In PS606, Steven and Mr. Stone stayed behind while Ruby and the others went ahead to find an alternate solution to the meteoroid impact. They received a call from the Mossdeep Space Center stating that Sapphire successfully delivered the shifter. While Professor Cozmo and his assistants outfitted the shifter onto a rocket, Steven and his father traveled to Mossdeep City to deal with the public, who had learned of the upcoming disaster due to a news leak. In PS608, Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Mossdeep. Sapphire told Steven that she sensed Zinnia's presence and went off to prevent her from interfering with the rocket's launch. Sapphire and Zinnia's clash led to them battling on top of the rocket as it flew through the air. Eventually, Sapphire was defeated, allowing Zinnia to destroy the dimensional shifter and knock the rocket down into the ocean.

In PS615, Steven and Mr. Stone arrived at Sootopolis, where Zinnia was taken to after she failed to get Rayquaza to join her. Mr. Stone apologized for trying to control Rayquaza years ago, only for Zinnia to reject it, claiming he was only trying to save face for his failures. When Zinnia gave up and stated it was impossible to stop disaster, Emerald suggested the differing factions worked together to save the planet. Together, everyone gathered allies from across Hoenn, Kanto, and Johto to assist in stopping Grand Meteor Delta. While the plan was being set up, Steven gave Zinnia a jar of Key Stones that were collected at the Embedded Tower. When Zinnia assumed the stones Steven and Hoenn Pokédex holders used were stolen from the late Aster, Steven explained he received those from the Mega Evolution guru in the Kalos region.

In Omega Alpha Adventure 21, the plan to destroy Grand Meteor Delta went underway. Ruby and Sapphire rode on Mega Rayquaza into space, where they attacked the meteoroid with Dragon Ascent. Back on Earth, Steven and the three allied regions launched a simultaneous attack on Grand Meteor Delta, successfully shattering it into pieces. With the crisis averted, Steven and the others watched as Ruby and Sapphire flew back to Sootopolis with Rayquaza.

Once everything had returned to normal, Steven was revealed to be taking Diancie back to its home in Kalos.

Platinum arc

In Leaping Past Lopunny, Steven was revealed to have spent time collecting stones in the Sinnoh region. After obtaining the stones he wanted, Steven sold the Villa he had built to use as a home base. The Villa was bought by Platinum shortly afterward.

Trivia

  • In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as their remakes, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is Beldum and that his favorite move is Steel Wing. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a gift for the player, and gives the player the TM for Steel Wing in Granite Cave.
  • In Emerald, when the player speaks to Steven in Meteor Falls before their battle, he mistakenly refers to battling alongside the player in the Sootopolis Space Center. The Space Center is actually in Mossdeep City.
  • The battle with Steven against Maxie and Tabitha is the only occasion in the Generation III games where the player teams up with an ally for a Double Battle.
  • Steven's Trainer ID number is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, 23478 in HeartGold and SoulSilver, and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
  • Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City. In the French dub of A Hole Lotta Trouble, he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with Brock, who was traveling with Ash when the group met Steven.
    • However, from Rivals: Today and Tomorrow! onward, he is referred to as Pierre Rochard.
    • In games where both Steven and Brock appear, Steven is referred to as "P. Rochard" (HeartGold and SoulSilver) and "Rochard" (Black 2 and White 2).
  • Despite being a Steel-type specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more Rock-type Pokémon.
  • In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, referencing their roles in Emerald.
  • In the rematch with Steven in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, all of his Pokémon have at least one immunity.
    • In the Elite Four and Champion rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Steven is the only trainer in the Hoenn Pokémon League to use a Pokémon from Generation I.
  • In Emerald, Brendan and May share their battle theme with Steven.
  • If the player skips obtaining the HM for Dive from Steven's house in Ruby and Sapphire (by trading in a Pokémon with the move), Steven will include the HM alongside the Beldum.
  • In Emerald, during the Multi Battle at the Mossdeep Space Center, if the player has a Pokémon with Guts out at the same time with Steven's Skarmory, it may attempt to target the player's Pokémon with Toxic to trigger the Ability.
