:''"<player>! What is happening? This is terrible… If this doesn't stop, all of <sc>[[Hoenn]]</sc>… No, the whole world will be parched. The cause of this calamity, the blazing sun, is in the sky above <sc>Sootopolis</sc>…{{sup/3|Ru}}

:''"What in the world is taking place there? There's no point arguing here… <sc>Sootopolis</sc> should provide answers… <player>… I don't know what you intend to do, but don't do anything reckless. Okay. I'm going to <sc>Sootopolis</sc>."''

:''"Take good care of it. Your caring for it will make me very happy."''

:''"We meet again! Have you been to Hoenn before? It's such a beautiful place, with the clearest ocean you can imagine. You should visit sometime. Hey! Why don't we trade Pokémon? I've been looking for <sc>Forretress</sc>. I can trade my <sc>Beldum</sc> for it."''

::'''No''': ''"That's too bad."''

:''"Now then... I expect Team Magma and Team Aqua have beat us here in the search for that Pokémon. Orlando, can I ask you to start by having a look around? I’m sure that those fool teams will be around here somewhere. Ah yes, a word of warning: If you step into the tall grass there, wild Pokémon may attack you. Be sure you are ready for them."''

*If spoken to when the player's Pokémon needs healing

*If spoken to again when the player's Pokémon is healthy, or after he heals it

:''"Somewhere on this island is a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution. We simply cannot hand it over to Team Magma or Team Aqua. Orlando, I want you to go farther into the island and begin the search. Once I finish my preparations, I will follow after you at once."''

'''[[Southern Island]]'''

:''"What is it you want to do? Would you like to return to Route 118 for a time?"''

::'''No:''' ''"In that case… Shall we go see once and for all whether there is anything to be found on this island?"''

:''"Latios{{sup/6|OR}}/Latias{{sup/6|AS}}... It's beautiful… If I were to describe such beauty in terms of a stone, it would be a {{evostone|Water Stone}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{evostone|Sun Stone}}{{sup/6|AS}}. No… It goes beyond that… Isn't its brilliance like that of a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}}? It is as fantastic as a {{type|Steel}} Pokémon…"''

:''"… Team Magma and Team Aqua are made up of people with completely opposing ideals and goals. But perhaps even they can learn to meet halfway…one small concession at a time. I know it's too much to expect that everything will change at once, but… I hope this crisis might at least help take them that first vital step forward."''

:''"I imagine that many changes are happening now all across Hoenn. I hope you will be able to travel this world and see its richness with your own eyes—and revel in its newness in your own heart. But for the present, you may first wish to challenge this city's Pokémon Gym. There, you'll find the very same Wallace who helped us so much waiting for you. He's strong. But the way you are now, you should be capable of battling him on an equal footing. And when you travel the world, you should try to use this. This flute is one of my favorite items."''

:''"People, Pokémon, nature itself… Our survival in this world depends on all of us living together in harmony. I feel I have just begun to understand that. And I am wondering how the world will continue to change from this point on… It fills me with an inexplicable excitement."''

:''"<player>… As you and your Pokémon live and grow in this changed world, I wonder what effect it will have on you. What will you think about? What ideals will you believe in? If we do get the chance to meet again, I hope you will be able to show me and my team the answers you've found. Until then…"''

:::''Steven Stone"''

:''"P.S. I had sent you another Beldum, rather a {{Shiny|special one}}. Did it reach you safely? Of course, both are cool and sublimely strong. I trust they will teach you the joys of Steel-type Pokémon."''

Steven is officially claimed as the Hoenn Champion in the anime like he is in the games. This implies that Wallace (who had been mentioned as the Hoenn Champion in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}) may have lost said title at some point before this episode.

[[File:Steven ORAS chapter.png|thumb|200px|left|Steven in the thirteenth chapter]]

In the {{chap|Platinum}}, 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 her investigations.

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.

====Pokémon====

|epnum=PS254

|epname=A Royal Rumble with Regirock, Regice and Registeel II

{{p|Registeel}} was awakened by Steven and the Elite Four to be used to contain Groudon and Kyogre's power. Steven controlled Registeel with Wallace while the others controlled Regice and Regirock. After Steven died from the strain of controlling the three Pokémon, Registeel lashed out and ran away. It was later found by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} and captured.}}

* Steven's [[Trainer ID number]] is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, while it is 23478 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and 11214 in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.

* Steven's role in Emerald is similar to {{ga|Red}}'s role in [[Generation II]] and HeartGold and SoulSilver, and [[Alder]]'s in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, as they are all former champions who can be battled after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. The only difference is that Steven and Alder can only be battled once, while Red can be battled multiple times.

* Despite being a {{type|Steel}} specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more {{type|Rock}} 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.
