Steven Stone, Diantha and others in “Battling as Hard as Stone!”

Let me tell you. The thing is I am considered the most powerful trainer in the Hoenn region but that's not nearly enough for me. The Pokémon World Coronation Series: it is only when I dominate this event that I can say I am truly the strongest and the best! [We see multiple cameos from the Generation III anime: Professor Birch, Drew, Harley, Katie, Morrison, Tyson (keep in mind that Tyson won the Hoenn League but failed to become Hoenn Champion as Steven is Hoenn Champion), Janet, Vito, Kain, Jimmy, and Kelly]

I've never seen Steven this fired up before. [Alain nods in agreement]

And the same for us!

Pika!

For all the people who cheered me on up until now. [We see Chloe, Professor Cerise, Ren, Chrysa, and Mimey watch the show] For all of my Pokémon, I will win this for sure! [We see Delia, Professor Oak, Tracey, and Ash's reserves.]
