Steven Stone

Steven Stone is the Pokémon Champion of the Hoenn region in the anime. He is a recurring character who first appears in the Advanced Generation series (in the episode "A Hole Lotta Trouble") and has more prominent roles in the XY series, including the Mega Evolution specials and the Team Flare storyline.

He is depicted as a tall, slender young man with distinctive ice-blue hair and matching eyes. He typically wears a sophisticated outfit featuring a black overcoat with purple accents over a white shirt and red tie.

Personality-wise, Steven is calm, composed, highly intelligent, and reserved. He has a deep passion for collecting rare stones and rocks (a trait he shares with his game counterpart), and he's often portrayed as friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive—serving as a mentor-like figure at times (such as to Sawyer). As a trainer, he specializes in Steel-type Pokémon, with his signature and most powerful one being a Shiny Metagross (which he Mega Evolves in key battles).

He's shown as one of the world's top trainers, eventually participating in high-level competitions like the Masters Eight Tournament in Pokémon Journeys. Overall, he's a polite, strategic, and somewhat enigmatic champion who values exploration and strength in equal measure.
