During lunch, Stephan and Sawk were given a special meal made by Cilan to help them in their battle. The others were worried for him feeling that Montgomery's Throh knew one other move that he didn't know about. Stephan only laughed knowing he would do well regardless because he had rung the Wishing Bell Festival. Once the battle began, Stephan did well in anticipating Throh's throwing moves and Sawk was able to parry them. However he did not expect his hidden move, {{m|Bind}}, leaving him to think of something quickly. He then thought of using Sawk's {{m|Bulk Up}} then {{m|Close Combat}} to escape which worked well. Near the end of the fray both Pokémon were at their limit and Stephan encouraged Sawk not to give up even when he was down. Just as Throh was about to grab Sawk again, he commanded one last Close Combat which finished off Throh and made himself the champion. After celebrating with Sawk, Montgomery approached him saying that he would win the next time they battled but congratulated him on the victory. The two shook hands and Stephan replied that he would win next time as well. Later on he said his goodbyes to the group and promised Ash a battle the next time they would meet.

Stephan appeared in [[BW104]] and battled Ash in [[BW106]]. He lost the battle and was eliminated from the competition. He stayed for the remainder of the league, watching all the other battles. He participated in the closing ceremonies of the Vertress Conference in [[BW108]] and afterwards said farewell to Ash, his friends and Ash's other rivals.

Like many of Ash's rivals, Stephan has an intense passion for battling and is always willing to take on any opponent. His overall battle style is to charge the opponent head on with full power, thus he gets noticed for his recklessness yet effective style. He can be both stubborn and impatient. His impatience is seen right before he was to battle Iris in ''[[BW041|The Club Battle Hearts of Fury: Emolga Versus Sawk!]]'' where he ran onto the battlefield before their names were called. He also can be extremely competitive as seen when he got into an eating contest with Ash in ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]''. Still he always wants his rivals to get stronger and encourages them to do their best when witnessing them battle.

Stephan's name is often mispronounced by other characters as 'Stephen' or 'Steven'. In the original version, people have several different pronunciations of his name with 'Keniyan' being the most common. At times people call him a completely different name. This causes him to become frustrated with people and his reaction can vary from slight annoyance to a vocal outburst as seen in ''[[BW073|Commanding the Clubsplosion Crown!]]''. However he quickly gets over it each time. As of [[BW103]], his name has been pronounced correctly, much to his pleasure.

Though hit by a barrage of {{m|DoubleSlap}} attacks, it defeated the Chinchilla Pokémon with Stomp and advanced its Trainer to the second round.
