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 [[Steven's Metagross|his Metagross]] being the cornerstone of his team.
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]].


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]]. This battle cannot have a rematch.
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 the remakes of these games, he leaves one for the player after the [[Delta Episode]] is fully completed.
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 [[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 [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Beldum}} for a {{p|Forretress}}.

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 {{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 starter 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.


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]].
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 {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Steven performs the same role as he did in the originals. He also appears in the [[Delta Episode]], attempting to find a way to stop the [[Grand Meteor Delta]] from destroying the [[Pokémon world]]. His plans are sabotaged by [[Zinnia]], as she claims his plan would instead send the meteor to [[Pokémon multiverse|another world]] and cause even greater damage. He attempts unsuccessfully to reason with Zinnia as the lorekeeper carries out her own plan to summon [[Rayquaza]] and it destroy the meteor. After the player's final battle with [[Deoxys]], Steven is seen speaking with [[Wallace]]. Steven confides in his friend that he wishes to one day step down from his duty as champion and see the world, and hopes that Wallace will take his place when that day comes. Wallace playfully agrees to Steven's proposal.  
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.
