Steven Stone: Champion of the Hoenn region, Mega Evolution user, and avid stone collector. Although no one knows his past, or how he even came to be Champion, behind every gem lies an untold tale of formation... Nine years before the Hoenn Primal Crisis, a younger Steven Stone has been forced to study for most of his life to prepare for becoming the next president of the Devon Corporation. His entire life changes when he receives Meteor, a Beldum with companionship to offer and more than enough to say about it. Once the duo take part in and win their first battle, Steven realizes that he's meant to be a Pokémon Trainer and eventually leaves home. Not long into his travels, Steven encounters an organization of people with twisted morals and an even more twisted way of expressing them. It doesn't take long to discover what they want- him. With assistance from Meteor, a few new allies, and an intriguing girl named Arietta, Steven can only hope he's able to elude capture so the organization won't ensure the downfall of not only the Devon Corporation, but potentially Hoenn itself.

Juri never wanted adventure. He never dreamed of having a Pokémon, making friends, or leaving behind the quiet solitude of his apartment-his sanctuary. He was perfectly content in his own little world. But when money troubles force him to rethink his future, he takes a chance and enrolls at Naranja Academy and, lucky for him, receives a full scholarship. What starts as a simple plan to get by soon spirals into something much bigger. His once-quiet life is upended by new friendships, unexpected battles, and a fight he never asked to be part of. Now, Juri must make a choice: keep running from the world or stand and fight for the people-and Pokémon-who have given him something worth holding on to.
