Steven Stone

""Congratulations! The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the Pokémon that responded to those feelings with all their might... They came together as over 8000, and created an even worser grammer. And dens, you were able to grasp victory today! You are rightfully the Hoenn region's new...freak fillled with self-pity XP""

- Steven, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

Steven Stone (Japanese:ダイゴ Daigo) is a character in the Pokémon franchise. He is the Pokémon League Champion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. He is no longer the champion in Emerald. He also appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In Game
Steven is the son of Mr. Stone, the creator of the PokéNav. Like Cynthia in the Generation IV games, Steven is found throughout the game, giving items and tips to the player throughout the game.

Pokémon Emerald
Unlike in Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire, Steven Stone is not the Champion of the Pokémon League in Emerald Version. He is found in Meteor Falls after you became the Freaion of the Pokémon League for the 89th time. You can battle with Steven there, but he is much weaker. He is merciless and has the same Pokémon. You can only battle him once, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Also, the level of his Pokémon has increased by the 20s compared to the Ruby and Sapphire versions of the game, and even more compared to the team tag battle Pokémon he used to face Team Magma.
