Season 6: Advanced
Per Mr. Stone's advice, the heroes sought out his son, Steven, who was in the Granite Cave, searching for rare rocks. Steven took a break and heard a scream from the cave. He went with Aron and saw a hole, through which some people have fallen in. He continued going through the tunnels, searching for the people and came back to the hole, noticing it was even larger than before. Eventually, Steven encountered Max, Meowth and Pikachu, who reported more people were lost in the tunnels. Steven took them to a part of the cave, where they found Ash, Brock, May, Jessie and James, asking them to go towards the waterfall, where they would meet up. The group came to the waterfall and was surrounded by Aron. Fortunately, Steven had his own Aron calm them down by using Roar and they dispersed. Steven was not pleased Team Rocket stirred trouble and even started attacking. To counter them, Steven sent Aggron, who blasted them off. After the trouble was over, Steven had found a Fire Stone, one of the rare stones he was searching in Granite Cave. With everything over, Steven took the heroes to a part of the island where they may train. Steven, however, bid them farewell, as he sailed away with his Aron.

Mega Evolution Acts
Steven came to Mairin's rescue, to free her out of a bush. He introduced himself to Mairin and Alain, the latter challenging Steven to a battle, after seeing the Mega Stickpin. Steven sent his shiny Metagross and Mega Evolved it to battle Alain's Mega Charizard. During the heated battle, Lysandre sent Pyroar, who used Flamethrower to stop the battle. Lysandre came and introduced himself to Mairin and Steven, for Alain was working for him. Lysandre came to discuss with Steven about an ancient slab, which he and Steven had parts of, for the latter believed the slab to be connected to Mega Stones. Steven and Lysandre brought the parts together and the group was taken to a temple in the sky, where they saw the megalith. However, a Rayquaza appeared and Mega Evolved, so Steven, along with Alain, sent Metagross and Charizard to stop Rayquaza. Mega Rayquaza attacked the ruins and the megalith disappeared. However, Lysandre noticed the megalith energy's source being near Rustoboro City, so Steven went with Alain and Mairin to that city.

After coming to Rustboro City, Steven went to prepare the helicopter, while Alain left Mairin, since she did not want to see her getting in danger. Alain claimed Mairin is just a burden to him, but Steven knew well that was not the truth. Alain and Steven went to the megalith (with Mairin sneaking onto the plane) and found Groudon, who was going to the megalith energy's source. There, they also encountered Kyogre, who, along with Groudon, went under Primal Reversion and started attacking each other. Since time was needed for the megalith to appear, Alain sent Charizard and Steven his Metagross and they both Mega Evolved them; Alain fought Primal Groudon and Steven battled Primal Kyogre. However, in the battle, Alain's Charizard got hit by Primal Groudon. Alain jumped to save Charizard, but got knocked out by Primal Groudon's Eruption. Mairin went to take Alain and Charizard safe, while Steven had Metagross protect them. The Rayquaza appeared and Mega Evolved, then attacked Groudon and Kyogre, finishing the battle. After the battle, Lysandre had his team retrieve the megalith, while Alain went off to Kalos. Since Steven needed some answers, he went with Mairin to Kalos to meet up with Lysandre.

After coming to Kalos, Mairin and Steven contacted Professor Sycamore, asking him where Alain went to. They learned Alain had gone to Lysandre Labs, so they went there as well. Steven met up with Lysandre, who assured him the megalith is under control. Steven went off to find Mairin, who saw her Chespie being affected by a green aura and was badly injured. They rushed to the Pokémon Center, seeing Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff trying hard to heal Chespie.

Season 18: XY Kalos Quest
Sawyer showed Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie a picture of Steven, who inspired him to become a great trainer, when Sawyer was in Hoenn. While Sawyer lost his notebook containing the picture, it was found by Team Rocket, making Jessie envious about even marrying Steven. The heroes found Team Rocket and defeated them and Sawyer retrieved his notebook.

Season 19: XYZ
When Team Flare attacked Lumiose City, Steven arrives with his Mega Metagross to help Serena, Mairin and Professor Sycamore rescue Chespie from the Lysandre Labs. After temporarily rescuing Chespie, Steven began investigating on what Team Flare had been researching with the Megalith. However, much to everyone's surprise, Lysandre inexplicably activated the Megalith, which absorbed Chespie and formed into a destructive version of a Zygarde. Steven told everyone that Megalith Zygarde is heading towards Anistar City, where it would get in contact with the giant sundial and once the two fuse together, it would create an explosion that would destroy the planet and wipe off nearly every living being. Steven Stone, along with the Kalos gym leaders, Malva, Diantha, Meyer, and Clemont helped give Ash and Alain enough time to reach the Megalith Zygarde's core and retrieve Chespie. When everyone assumed that the threat is over, all of their Pokémon attacked the Megalith Zygarde all at once. However, Lysandre gained control over it with the remote control on his arm. Just as Lysandre was about to deliver the final blow on everyone, Squishy and Z-2 stepped in and summoned every Zygarde Cell in the world to turn into their Complete Perfect form. And as Ash's Pikachu, Ash's Greninja, and Alain's Charizard destroyed Lysandre's remote, Squishy and Z-2 destroyed the Megalith Zygarde with Core Enforcer, which resulted in killing Lysandre, healing Chespie, and ending the Kalos crisis once and for all. Malva then told Steven that she will track down the remaining Team Flare members and turn herself in.
