Congratulations to you! And thank you... I had wanted to learn how you feel about this world, what kinds of ideals you have developed with your Pokémon... I feel I was able to find the answer in our battle. The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the way that your Pokémon gave their all in battle in response to those feelings... Those two together created a great power. That is how you seized victory today.

Personality[]
Steven Stone is a young man who enjoys collecting various rocks and stones around the world. He is very humble and down-to-earth despite his extraordinary Pokémon battling skills. He does not like to brag and is generally a quiet and solitary person. Steven is also wise, knowledgeable, and very kind and generous. In the games, he will give the player character various helpful tips and items.
Etymology[]
Steven's name comes from "steel" and "stone" (either because he likes collecting rocks or because he also uses several Rock-type Pokémon). Daigo Tsuwabuki, his Japanese name, likely comes from 武器 (buki, weapon, as weapons are often made of metal), 脇差 (wakizashi, a type of Japanese sword), 和鏡 (wakyō, Japanese-styled mirror), 大会社 (daigaisha, major corporation, referring to his status as the Devon Corporation's president's son), diamond (the hardest known naturally-occurring mineral), and 石 (tsuwa, rock).
