− | Archie's | + | Archie's motives are unknown beyond his immediate desire to expand the world's oceans, due to the importance of water in sustaining life. This is what drives him to attempt to awaken the legendary ground Pokémon [[Kyogre]]. |
− | + | ===Ruby Version=== | |
− | + | It is unknown if Archie still sought to awaken Kyogre in this game, but if so he did not actively pursue this goal. Instead, he focused on using Team Aqua to foil [[Team Magma]]'s plans to awaken [[Groudon]]. He first showed up at Meteor Falls, bringing in Team Aqua to prevent Team Magma from stealing the Meteorite, but failing to do so. However, they were able to track Team Magma to Mt. Chimney and battled them there in an attempt to prevent Team Magma from erupting Mt. Chimney with their weapon. Although Archie was distracted by a group of grunts, [[Brendan]]/[[May]] arrived in time to defeat Maxie for him. | |
− | + | Archie showed up later on in the Seafloor Cavern, after Maxie had awakened Groudon, to scold him for attempting to control its power. | |
− | + | ===Sapphire Version=== | |
− | + | Archie engineered a variety of schemes revolving around awakening Groudon from its resting place in the Seafloor Cavern. After his men failed to steal the Devon Goods from the Slateport Museum, Archie stepped in himself and left [[Brendan]]/[[May]], the young trainer whom had defeated his men, off with a warning. Afterwards his next plan involved manipulating [[Professor Cozmo]] and then stealing a Meteorite from Meteor Falls. | |
− | + | This meteorite was used to power a machine at the volcanic Mt. Chimney, which would drain the volcano so that it could ultimately become a new habitat for water Pokémon after it was filled with rainwater. [[Maxie]] and [[Team Magma]] were opposed to this and attempted to battle him to prevent this, although it was ultimately Brendan/May who challenged and defeated Archie. Archie decided to give up on this plan and retreated, but assured his opponent that Team Aqua would win in the end. Afterwards, he put the final steps of his plan to resurrect Kyogre into motion; by stealing the Red Orb from Mt. Pyre and then hijacking [[Captain Stern]]'s new Explorer 1 submarine from Slateport City. | |

Using the Explorer 1, Archie entered the Seafloor Cavern where Kyogre slept. He arrived at Kyogre's resting place just after Brendan/May and then battled them once again, believing that they would have to "disappear" so that he could make his dream come true. He was defeated again, but the Red Orb acted automatically in awakening Kyogre, which then fled. Archie found to his dismay that Kyogre's power was out of his control even with the Red Orb in his possession, and that Kyogre's power was more harmful to the world than he had intended. Seeing the error of his ways, Archie later returned the orb to Mt. Pyre. | Using the Explorer 1, Archie entered the Seafloor Cavern where Kyogre slept.

Archie and Maxie then witnessed Kyogre and Groudon's epic battle at Sootopolis City, with Archie still being in denial and trying in vain to make Kyogre listen to his orders. Eventually [[Rayquaza]] descended and stopped the battle, at which point Archie and Maxie both mused on this outcome, then they both left to return their orbs to Mt. Pyre. | Archie and Maxie then witnessed Kyogre and Groudon's epic battle at Sootopolis City, with Archie still being in denial and trying in vain to make Kyogre listen to his orders.

− | + | *In the Pokémon anime, Team Aqua appeared throughout the episodes of the Pokémon anime set in Hoenn, although Archie himself did not appear until the two-part episode featuring Kyogre and Groudon's battle. Archie was successful in claiming the Red Orb and using it to control Kyogre, but it corrupted and eventually merged with Archie, causing him to seek the flooding of everything without regard for anyone, including his own men. However, after Kyogre is defeated by Groudon the orb was ejected from Archie's body and he was knocked out, being awakened by [[Shelly]] with no recollection of what had happened when he was under the orb's influence. | |
− | + | *Archie was featured as a main antagonist in the ''Ruby''/''Sapphire'' and ''Emerald'' arcs of the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga. In the ''Ruby''/''Sapphire'' arc he is head of Hoenn TV in addition to secretly leading Team Aqua, and he uses this position to hide Team Aqua's activities from the public while making Team Magma infamous and feared. They only succeed in stealing the prototype submarine engine and the Blue Orb from Maxie. However, as Maxie steals the entire submarine the two later form an alliance to enter the Seafloor Cavern together and then have Groudon and Kyogre battle each other to decide which is truly better. Even though Kyogre and Groudon were ultimately driven off by Raquaza and they were separated from their orbs, the two had been corrupted by the orbs to the point of insanity, at which point they teamed up together to begin eliminating all potential threats to them. However, they were ultimately defeated by Ruby and Sapphire, then sealed within [[Wallace]]'s aircar. It was later shown that Storc freed them and offered a special armor to one of them that would possibly allow them to survive the potentially fatal after-effects of being possessed by the orbs. Archie won the armor (implied to have resulted in Maxie's death) and used it to operate as Guile Hideout, the mysterious villain of the ''Emerald'' saga, hunting [[Jirachi]] and using one of its wishes to fashion a fake Kyogre. However, all of the Pokédex trainers team up together to destroy it, and Archie loses his armor in the battle. Afterwards he rejects Emerald's help and attempts to find his armor so he could make another Kyogre with Jirachi's last wish, but he finds [[Gold]]'s fake armor instead and disappears in a brilliant explosion when he reaches for the real armor. | |
