Pokémon Ruby

Meteor Falls
"Hold it right there, Team Magma! We, Team Aqua, won't allow you to get away with your misdeeds!"
"Who might you be? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Ah, so you are <player>. I am Archie. As the head of Team Aqua, I have dedicated myself to thwarting the dangerous plans of Team Magma. Why? Because Team Magma is a grave threat to us all. They have committed many destructive acts in their bid to expand the land. We, Team Aqua, love the sea above all! Team Magma is our sworn enemy!"
"Yes, yes, we must! We've got to hurry. There's no telling what Team Magma will do at Mt. Chimney!"
"<Player>, you should keep an eye out for Team Magma, too. Farewell!"
Mt. Chimney
"Oh, <player>! Please, you must stop Team Magma for me! They're trying to make this volcano erupt by using the stolen Meteorite's power! It's all a part of their plans to expand the world's landmass!"
"<Player>! Please, you've got to stop Team Magma for me! Dealing with these three thugs is a lot, even for me!"
"<Player>! Thank you! With your help, we thwarted Team Magma's destructive plan! But... this victory doesn't mean the end of their evil plans. We will remain vigilant and keep up with our pursuit of Team Magma. <Player>, we shall meet again!"
Seafloor Cavern
"What have you wrought? Maxie... You've finally awoken Groudon, haven't you? What will happen to the world if this sunshine continues for all eternity? The world's seas will all dry up and disappear..."
"We don't have the time to argue about it here! Get outside and see for yourself! See if what you've wrought is the world that you desired!"
"<Player>, come on, you have to get out of here, too!"
Route 128
"Do you understand now, Maxie? Do you finally see how disastrous your dream turned out to be? We have to hurry! We have to do something before the situation goes completely out of control!"
"<Player>... We, Team Aqua, had been pursuing Team Magma to prevent this from happening. You've been very helpful, but I fear the worst has happened... It's gone too far for a child like you to manage... Leave things to us, and get out of here while you still can!"
"This defies belief... A super-ancient Pokémon... Its power is unbelievable. It has upset the balance of nature..."

Pokémon Sapphire

Oceanic Museum
"I came to see what was taking so long to snatch some parts, and you simps are held up by a mere child? I am Team Aqua's Archie. Tell me, why do you meddle in the noble affairs of Team Aqua? Pokémon, people, all life depends on the sea. So, Team Aqua is dedicated to the expansion of the sea. Don't you agree? What we are doing is a magnificent undertaking. Ah, fine... You're still too young. It can't be helped that you do not understand our ideals. But, if you ever oppose us again, there will be consequences! Heed my warning! Farewell!"
Mt. Chimney
"The power contained in the Meteorite... By amplifying its power with this machine, Mt. Chimney's volcanic activity will stop. Fufufu... Eventually, the cooled-down crater will fill with rainwater, giving Water Pokémon a place to live."
  • Before battle
"You again... Now listen. All life depends on the sea. The sea is everything! Its importance is paramount! That is why we of Team Aqua are committed to expanding the sea. Doing so will result in the emergence of new Pokémon species. We will return the world back to nature for the good of Pokémon. That is Team Aqua's vision! I can't allow an ignorant child like you to get in our way. I, Archie, will show you the consequences of meddling!"
  • Being defeated
"What?! I, Archie, was caught off guard?"
  • After being defeated
"Ah, whatever. I will give up our plans for Mt. Chimney for the time being... But no one can ever stop us! Team Aqua will prevail! Don't you ever forget that!"
Mt. Pyre
  • First visit
"Not you again... You've impeded our plans repeatedly, but this time you're too late. The Red Orb that rested atop Mt. Pyre... I, Archie, claim it as mine! Fufufu... Finally, I can realize my grand design... Come on, crew! It's Slateport next!"
  • After encountering Kyogre
"You... So you stopped Kyogre... I shouldn't be surprised... I understand now that humans cannot freely control the balance between the land and the sea... So I have come to return the Red Orb... I doubt that we will cross paths again... Farewell..."
Slateport Harbor
"Fufufu... Capt. Stern, I presume. We of Team Aqua will assume control of your submarine! Your objections are meaningless! We expect your total cooperation! Fufufu... Just watch and learn what Team Aqua has planned!"
"Fwahahaha... I commiserate with you! All that effort you spent following me here all the way from Mt. Pyre. But now... No one can stop us! No one! Or, will you follow us back to our Hideout in Lilycove City? Fwahahahaha..."
Seafloor Cavern
"Hold it right there."
  • Before battle
"Fufufu. So it was you, after all. Behold! See how beautiful it is, the sleeping form of the ancient Pokémon Kyogre! I have waited so long for this day to come... It surprises me, how you've managed to chase me here. But that's all over now. For the realization of my dream, you must disappear now!"
  • Being defeated
"I... I lost again?''
  • After being defeated
"Fufufu... I commend you. I must recognize that you are truly gifted. But! I have this in my possession! With this Red Orb, I can make Kyogre..."
"What?! I didn't do anything. Why did the Red Orb... Where did Kyogre go?"
"Hm? It's a message from our members outside..."
"Yes, what is it? Hm... It's raining heavily? Good... That should have happened. That is why we awakened Kyogre, to realize Team Aqua's vision of expanding the sea. What?! It's raining far harder than we envisioned? You're in danger? That can't be... That's just not possible... Hold your position and monitor the situation!"
"There's something wrong... The Red Orb is supposed to awaken and control Kyogre... But... Why? Why did Kyogre disappear? Why?!"
"What are you saying? The Red Orb should let me control Kyogre... That can't be possible..."
Route 128
"What happened... What is this wretched scene... Did I...make a horrible mistake? I... I only wanted..."

Pokémon Emerald

Oceanic Museum
"I came to see what was taking so long to snatch some parts, and you simps are held up by a mere child?"
"We are Team Aqua, and we love the sea! And I am Team Aqua's leader, Archie! What makes you interfere with us? ...No! You can't be! You're not one of Team Magma? Wait, that can't be right. You're not dressed for the part. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Pokémon, people... All life depends on the sea. So, Team Aqua is dedicated to the expansion of the sea. Don't you agree? What we are doing is a magnificent undertaking. Ah, fine... You're still too young to understand our noble objective. But, I warn you, don't even consider interfering with our plans again. The consequences will cost you dearly! And don't you forget it!"
Meteor Falls
"Hold it right there, Team Magma! You're badly mistaken if you think you can have your way with the world!"
"Didn't I see you before? At Slateport's Museum? Ah, so your name is <player>. At the time, I thought you were one of Team Magma's goons. Humph... You're one odd kid. Team Magma is a dangerous group of total fanatics. They engage in destruction, claiming to expand the land mass. They are rivals to us, the sea-loving Team Aqua!"
"Yes, yes, we must! We've got to hurry. There's no telling what Team Magma will do at Mt. Chimney!"
"<Player>, you should keep an eye out for Team Magma, too. Farewell!"
Mt. Chimney
"Grr, <player>! I should've guessed you'd show up! See for yourself what the fanatics of Team Magma are up to! They're trying to inject the stolen Meteorite's power into the volcano! Doing something like that will cause the volcano's eruption!"
"<Player>! Thank you! With your help, we thwarted Team Magma's destructive plan! But... You... Whose side are you on? Ah, it doesn't matter. We will remain vigilant and keep up our pursuit of Team Magma. <Player>, we shall meet again!"
Mt. Pyre
"Team Magma's Maxie got ahead of us, but we also got what we wanted. The Red Orb preserved at Mt. Pyre... I, Archie, now have it in my possession! Fufufu... Now we can bring our ultimate objective to fruition! Okay, Team! We're pulling out!"
Slateport Harbor
"Fufufu... Capt. Stern, I presume. We of Team Aqua will assume control of your submarine! Your objections are meaningless! We expect your total cooperation! Fufufu... Just watch and learn what Team Aqua has planned!"
"Oh? Not you again... You are tenacious to track us here, that much I will give you. But now... No one can stop us! No one! Or, will you follow us back to our Hideout in Lilycove City? Fwahahahaha..."
Seafloor Cavern

"There's something wrong... The Red Orb is supposed to awaken and control Kyogre... But... Why? Why did Kyogre disappear? Why?!"
"W-what?! Don't get all high and mighty with me! Wasn't it you, Team Magma, that infuriated Groudon? So long as I have this Red Orb, I should be able to control Kyogre... I should be able to control it..."
Route 128
"What happened... What is this wretched scene... Did I...make a horrible mistake? I... I only wanted..."
Sootopolis City
"Kyogre! What's wrong?! Look over here! It's the Red Orb! Calm down! Kyogre! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... It's no good! It's not responding at all!"
  • After Rayquaza stops the fight between Kyogre and Groudon
"Kyogre and Groudon both flew off to who knows where. The weather in Hoenn has returned to its normal state... Haha... Hahaha... Maybe what we were trying to do was something small, even meaningless, to Pokémon..."

Pokémon Omega Ruby

Meteor Falls
"Bwahahahahahaha! You lost to this scamp? What a pathetic bunch! You lazy stooges will be the downfall of Team Magma!"
"Tch!"
"That's right! We're not letting them get away!"
"Oh? What's this? You've got quite a fierce expression on you for such a wee little thing. The name's Archie. I'm the leader of Team Aqua, a group that's working to return the world to a pristine state. One that'll be perfect for Pokémon's survival. Looks like you were getting into it with Team Magma there, 'less my eyes deceive me. It's not like I'm in a position to argue if that's what you're up to, hey? But I'll tell you this much. So remember. If you next get in the way of Team Aqua, you won't get off so lightly. So steer clear and keep your nose clean, scamp! I imagine I'll be seeing you! Waha! Bwahahahahah!"
Mt. Chimney
"Get out of my blasted way, ye scurvy Team Magma knaves! Or face a keelhauling!"
"Confound the lot of you! Let me through, you bilge rats!"
"Huh? If it ain't that little scamp! But blast that Maxie! He just escaped us! And he just left behind the Meteorite that he's been crazy about finding? Can't be—! Could he have found out where the real orbs are hidden?! That sneaky little scientific so-and-so! I'm always left watching his bony backside run two steps ahead of me!"
Seafloor Cavern
"Ugh..."
"Ugh! Arghhh... M-Maxie...you...!"
"L-little scamp..."
"Augh... You..."
"Hey, Maxie. Looks like we underestimated the power of the super-ancient Pokémon... The power of Primal Reversion..."
"Primal Groudon brings about an "end," all right. But you don't get to choose what end. It's gonna drive every living thing on this planet to its death! The only thing waiting for us is despair. A despair we can't even run from. A despair that's gonna crush humanity. You blasted fool... And it's all happening 'cause you were cocky enough to think you could control the super-ancient Pokémon's power!"
Route 128
"So this...is the power of the super-ancient Pokémon... This is how Groudon brings everything to an end..."
"All of us, people and Pokémon... Every living thing on this planet... Everything's gonna die..."
"OK, little scamp... We're setting sail for Sootopolis. That blasted Groudon is no doubt gonna get there ahead of us. It'll be waiting for us deep in the Cave of Origin, there in Sootopolis... There's a pool of energy there that folks say is needful for Primal Reversion. There's no doubt in my mind that Groudon will be racing to that cave, thirsting for that power... We got no choice but to go ourselves. We gotta do whatever we can to fight back!"
"All right, Maxie! You Team Magma blighters better come with us. We're responsible for this mess. This ridiculous, impossible mess. It only makes sense for us all to step up and clean up after ourselves. Agreed?"
"... Hey, little scamp. Look, I'm supposed to be a grown-up, right? So let me say sorry for the way this has gone down. And...I'm sorry 'cause I've gotta ask you to pitch in with the cleanup. We need every hand on deck if we're gonna do something about this mess... So...I'll be waitin' for you in Sootopolis."
Sootopolis City
"We've been waiting, ya scamp!"
"You've hit the nail on the head! Those old folks at Mt. Pyre did say something about that... That the Red Orb would unleash Groudon's primal powers... And trigger a Primal Reversion. ...While the Blue Orb had the power to reverse that and calm the beast."
"We'll also get our people together up top here, to help any folks and Pokémon in trouble."
"My little scamp of a savior... Looks like we're making you bear all the burden on your little shoulders alone. I'm sorry for that. ...But I know you're going to see this through!"
  • After confronting Groudon
"Somehow, it's...so warm..."
"... The sea or the land... Pokémon or humanity... All this time we've just been trying to grab onto happiness for one of them, even if it meant destroying the other... Look at how things have turned out, now the world's got its natural balance back... We've got to rethink this thing from the very start... We've got to redo everything we've done from scratch—and get it right this time. Whaddaya say? Maxie..."
"Y'know... Someday we adults are gonna have to hand this world off to this little scamp and the rest of his/her generation. But what kinda world are we adults gonna make? What kinda world do we wanna pass to these kids? If we haven't even figured that out ourselves, we're never gonna get anywhere. So are we gonna make a world where everyone can coexist together? Or, after all, is it gonna be a world that we claim by force? One that we fight and scrabble over... I don't know, but I think we can at least start by giving it some time and thinking it over. All of us can do that, whether we're Team Aqua or Team Magma or whatever..."
"And that's it from me! Later, scamp!"
Battle Resort
"Aye aye! Take care of the crew while I'm away!"
"Hmm. Interesting."
"Ahhh, yeah. The scamp of a Trainer who put a stop to Team Magma and that Groudon of theirs. To think I'd run into you here."
"And that little runt there, he's one of your friends? He only passed us by, but I felt a real fire for battle there. He must be some Trainer. Looks like I'll get to take on the both of you if I keep battling here a while! Bwahahaha! Looks like it won't be a waste that I came all the way out here after all!"
"I've gotta say...it's been weighing on my mind ever since Sootopolis, but... You know, if we lived in a slightly different world, it might have been me and my crew that you'd had to stop... It's not a stretch to think that we might have tried reviving Kyogre to try to use its power for ourselves... You know?"
"Bwahahaha! It's nonsense, of course! It's not like there could be another world out there just like ours, eh? That's why we dream, right? Wahaha! 'Cause we know our dreams can't be real!"
"Ah... But since we did get to run into each other like this... I think I'll give this to you! Matt!"
"I look forward to pitting my team against yours someday! See you then!"

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

Oceanic Museum
"What do we have here? I came to see what was taking so long just to steal a few parts, and I find you simps getting beat by this kid?"
"Heh! That's quite a fierce expression for such a wee little scamp. That face tells me you're not just another mindless Trainer brat. The name is Archie. The rough-looking lot you see here are members of my team―Team Aqua. So tell me, boyo/girlie… Do you know that Pokémon, people, and all life in this world depend on the sea for life? That's right. The sea is an irreplaceable treasure for every living thing on this planet. But with our selfish extravagance, humanity dirties the great ocean, destroying this source of all life… Day by day, we're all destroying our most precious resource! If we humans suffer from our actions, well, maybe we'll end up getting what we deserve. But what about the Pokémon in our world? The Pokémon that no longer have a place to live because we stole and soiled their seas? The Pokémon that won't have a place to raise their young and watch them grow? We are creating a world in which innocent Pokémon suffer as a result of our actions… And that is something that I can't forgive! That's why I came to a decision, see? The foolish actions of my fellow humans, the seas we have blighted, nature itself… I will return everything to its unspoiled beginnings!"
"… Heh! It's not like me to talk so much. Never mind, little scamp… I'll withdraw for now and leave you be. But understand this… Get in my way again, and you won't walk away unscathed next time. Remember that, at least!"
"We're moving out, lads!"
Mt. Chimney
  • Before battle
"The great swell of power that sleeps deep in the magma… And it's the key to controlling the super-ancient Pokémon's power?"
"Ah! You… Uh… No… Oh! Now I know how I know you! You're the little scamp that got in our way in Slateport's museum!! If you made it here to me, you musta swept right past Shelly, huh? Heh…heheheh… Krmph! Bwahahahahaha! I figured you were a big deal the first time I laid eyes on you, but…whoa!"
"Heheh. Well, since you are the real deal, I s'pose I could let you in on just what's going on. See, this Meteorite that I just got from good ol Professor High-an'-Mighty back there… With the right bit of work, it seems we could turn it into a real nice, valuable bit. Like maybe a Mega Stone. Or maybe…even a Key Stone. And as long as we're here at Mt. Chimney…"
"Hyup! Bwahahahahah! Look what I nearly went an' did! If I give away all my secrets, all the thrill'd be gone from our relationship! I think I'll just leave you hanging here."
"Well… It's not the details that matter any old how. We've got a thing we gotta do, ya see. From our point of view, scamp, you're a dirty villain who's gotten in our way one time too many. I'm still leader of Team Aqua, so I'm afraid it's the rope's end for you and your Pokémon."
"Now come!"
  • When defeated
"Oh! You went and did it, didn't you?"
  • After being defeated
"Heheheh. Ya little scamp! I knew you were the real deal!"
"Brilliant! Then my team won't hold back this time! Mega Evolution, how I've missed you! It's been ages since we got to let loose!"
"Tch. Scamp, I'm gonna have to ask you to hold that thought. I've gotta use my time-out."
"Huh? That you, Matt? You have the worst timing—What? Hoh! So Mt. Pyre's the real—Got it. Guess that orb's not just some fairy tale after all!"
"All right! I'm on my way!"
"Sorry, scamp. When you're a grown-up, y'see, sometimes things crop up. Gotta put our battle on hold till next time. Take this. Should help keep ya busy till we settle the score. Have fun with it, hey?"
"Let's meet again somewhere. I'll be sure to remember that face."
Mt. Pyre
"I thought something was a bit noisy, and who is it but the usual scamp! Sorry, scampo, but I'm afraid I just don't have time to play with you right now. The Blue Orb that's long been enshrined here at Mt. Pyre… It belongs to Team Aqua now!"
"...Ma-a-att!"
"How about you do a favor for our lively little visitor, and keep him entertained? You'd better use your full strength, too, so you don't offend our honored guest! Bwahahahah! With this Blue Orb in my hands, I won't even need the power of the Meteorite to awaken the beast from the deep! All I need now is a way to get to the place where it sleeps… All I have to do is get that submarine they're making in Slateport! Come on, boys! We're for Slateport City!"
Slateport Harbor
"Ahhh… Ahhh… Testing, testing. One, two, three..OK. I hope you're listening out there… Captain Stern! We of Team Aqua will now be assuming control of your lovely submarine! You'll contribute to our great plan of returning everything to the beginning… I hope you appreciate this great honor! Wah…hahahah! Bwahahahahahahahah!"
"Impossible! You actually followed us all the way from Mt. Pyre? Grah-hah! You got me! I bow to your persistence and love of justice! Bwaha! Bwahahahahah! It's a pity, so it is, but we're well past the time when you and your best efforts could turn the tide. We'll add a few last touches to this submarine, and we'll be all set to bust open the Seafloor Cavern where that great Pokémon is sleeping. Our plans to return everything to the beginning…They're as good as complete! But I know you gotta do what you gotta do, scamp. I'm not gonna tell ya to quit chasing us… Follow us all the way to our hideout in Lilycove, if that's what your honor demands. Now then… Shelly?"
"Got it. We'll see you there, then! My little scamp adversary! Grahahaha! Bwahahahahahahah!"
Seafloor Cavern
"Bwahahaha! You're looking pretty pathetic now, aren't you? The great Maxie!"
  • Before battle
"Bwahahaha!"
"Well, if it isn't my little adversary! I can't even find the words to praise you as you deserve."
"Sometimes it's best to keep things simple. All I'll say is you met my expectations, scamp!"
"And I'm not just talking about today, but everything you've done up till now. And that's why you'll get the honor of meeting my new partner before anyone else living in this world!"
"The super-ancient Pokémon…KYOGRE!!!"
"How 'bout that?! That beautiful form so long resting at peace within the azure sea!"
"I've been waiting so long for this day to come. We humans have disregarded Pokémon and nature both in our endless pursuit of our own desires and needs… And in the process, we've created this broken and disordered world… But this is the day when I finally obtain the power to return everything to how it once was―to return to our beginnings! Now that I can release the ancient power!"
"The ancient power of Primal Kyogre!"
"And now, you are the last token resistance that's trying to ruin my day. I'll use everything my team and I have to crush you once and for all!"
"Oh? And…Mega Evolution? Did ya think that you and your Pokémon are the only ones who can use it? Let me show you now what I didn't get the chance to show you at Mt. Chimney… This is the true power of my team!"
"GRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
  • When defeated
"Like I figured…"
  • After being defeated
"Hah… Hah… Ahh… … Ah. Aha… Ahahahaha… Bwahahahahahaha! Bwaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Perfect! You're just as great as any little hero trying to save the world oughta be!"
"But it changes nothing! I can't give up now! I can't!"
"I WILL use the power of this Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre at last! Then I'll return everything in this world to its original, pure state!!"
"Now! AWAKEN, KYOGRE! RETURN EVERYTHING TO THE WAY IT WAS!!"
"Shelly!?"
"Shelly… I always believed that you at least would understand my dreams…"
"But no! In the end, the only one I can depend on is you, Kyogre! Absorb all the power resting in this Blue Orb, and reclaim yourself! Revert to your primal form! This is the time to take back the great Evolution you lost in the ancient past!"
"Bwahahahaha! At last… AT LAST! I've finally done it!!! It hasn't even finished reversion, and it still has this much power!!! With this I can return everything to its natural beginning! It's time at last!"
"Is that crew outside?"
"What is it…? Oh? So the great deluge has begun… Bwahahahaha! But of course it has! That is exactly what I have―"
"What…? What do you mean far more than we thought?! It can't be… Then if it completes its Primal Reversion… N-never mind that! Just keep an eye on it!"
"All that matters is… That I have used the Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre… And now… I will return this world to its natural state… The state that is best for Pokémon!"
"What…did you say?"
Route 128
"This… This is…"
"… I… I only wanted… I wanted to make…a world where Pokémon could live on…in peace… Where…that…Pokémon…"
"Ugh!"
Sootopolis City
"..."
"Yes."
"The Aqua Suit. Take it…"
"But… Even if you put that thing on, do you really think you'll be able to make it all the way down to where Kyogre waits?"
"… … Sorry."
"I'm begging, so… Save us… The world… And Kyogre…"
Cave of Origin (via radio)
"Hey! You read me, little scamp? Aye, it's me, Archie! There's a device built into that suit that lets me talk to you. We're getting readings up here that look as though Kyogre's appeared. I'd guess you're staring right at it, if I'm not mistaken! Don't be afraid, scamp! You leap right onto that beastie's back! Then le― take you to― dee―est… o― th― c…"
Sootopolis City (after confronting Kyogre)
"It's…so warm… Just now my heart felt like it was about to be crushed by uncertainty and terror, but now it feels like it's been softly set at ease…
"… Yeah. You're right. Maxie… what you're saying is only natural. I know that. But still… I can't just change… The world I believed to be ideal… The kind of world that I dreamed of making, where I could live alongside my beloved Pokémon… That hasn't changed. I know I've got nothing to stand on, after causing this much hurt, but…"
"Shelly… Sorry…and thanks."
"All right, ya little scamp. You managed to use that Red Orb, so now let's see you try this on for size. If you give it to Kyogre, you should be able to control its Primal Reversion."
"See ya…"

Delta Episode

Team Aqua Hideout
"Guwahhh?!"
"Ugh… I'll be keelhauled! How did I get beat by this little slip of a girl?"
"You… Who are you?"
"Scamp? But why are you…"
"Wha―?!"
"Archie! Hang in there!"
"… Little scamp… Heh… Fine… I guess it's just fate. That you showed up now of all times."
"Shelly… Give it to the kid."
"Yeah… What could I do with a Mega Stone anyway, now that I've lost my Key Stone?"
"You take my power, scamp… I'm giving it to you. That woman… I don't think she's just any old Trainer. Not with the way she controlled those Dragon-type Pokémon of hers… I got no idea what she's planning… But I think you're our best bet at stopping her now, little scamp. Do that for me."
After completing the Episode
"…"
"…"
"… It's unforgivable."
"Absolutely unforgivable!"
"I can't forgive… What I've done!"
"I drove my own loyal crew to such despair as this… I have no right to call myself a leader anymore."
"I'm… I'm sorry, Matt. I truly am."
"I'm planning to start everything over from scratch, Matt. What happened back then with Kyogre… And what happened this time… Look, you can't do anything if you're all wrapped up in what you believe. Team Aqua or Team Magma… Pokémon or people… There's no reason why we've gotta pick just one of 'em. It might be a pain, it might even be a bit scary, but we've gotta take that step into the unknown. Mix with people who aren't like us… That's the kind of Team Aqua that I want us to be from now on. … You think you can be a part of that kind of Team Aqua? Matt…"

"Little scamp…"
"Naw… It's <player>, isn't it?"
"Make yourself at home, all right?"
"You can kick back and relax here."
Battle Maison
"Bwahahaha! You wanna team up with me? All right! This might be the strongest combo that Hoenn's ever seen!"
  • After ending the Multi Battle challenge
"So we're going to wrap things up here today? Fair enough. But give me a shout next time you want a little tussle. I'll be waiting!"
  • After 20 consecutive wins at the Multi Battle challenge
"Bwahahahaha! Looks like teaming up with you and your team really gave us the chance to run wild out there! Thanks for the good battle, ya little scamp!"
  • After losing the Multi Battle challenge
"Bwahahaha! Even with a combo like you and me, looks like when you're gonna lose, you're gonna lose! But I just can't quit Pokémon battling, not as long as it sets my heart racing like this!"

"Hm, what's this? You defeated the Team RR goons, did you now? Well, that's a shame. They weren't my real crew, but they were still mine for the moment."
"…The name's Archie. I'm the leader of Team Aqua. Just when I completed my great plan, I got swallowed up by a giant wave… And when I came 'round, I was in this world."
"The boss of Team RR was kind enough to let me use this room as my own. I've been tryin' to figure out a way to get back to my own home. And I do want to go back eventually, but I find myself thinkin'… maybe I should make this world more like my ideal while I'm here anyway! I've got the Sea Basin Pokémon, Kyogre… With its power to control the rains, I'll call down a great deluge to wash away this world's land! All life is born from the sea! If we help the ocean to expand, we're creating the cradle for future life to grow and thrive!"
"The best possible future for people and Pokémon, don't you think?!"
"Oh, so you want to get in my way just like that buffoon from Team Magma."
"Well then, you little scamp... It's the rope's end for you and your Pokémon!"
  • Being defeated
"Like I figured…"
  • After being defeated
"Well, would you look at that! I control the ocean and all its power, and yet here I am, beaten by a little tyke! All right, all right… You've made your point. I can see you are not one to be trifled with."
"If you want to get farther into Team Rocket's Castle, though, you'd better have checked out the pictures hanging on the walls. The red one, and the blue one, too."
"It makes me wonder… If there was a Trainer like you back in my old world, would I have ever been able to pull off my great dream?"
  • Confronting the player and Maxie in the Team Rocket's Castle entrance room
"You better hurry, little tyke, or what you're lookin' for will be gone forever!"
"Hey, careful who you call names, Maxie! I seem to recall you cowering in defeat in front of me!"
"Ooh, you want me to prove it to you then? C'mon, let's settle this right here, right now!"
"Agreed!"
"Wh-what's this?!"

  • Differing Perspectives
"Bwahahaha! Sorry, Matt. She's right."
"I know you wanna get rowdy, but I need ya to wait a little bit more."
"And listen, Matt... Destroying Team Magma ain't what we should be doing right now."
"We should be creating a utopia for Pokémon... That's why we need Kyogre's power!"
"Never forget that."
"But I mean, if they try to bother us, I've got no qualms beating 'em down!"
  • Battle over Natural Energy
"That's my line, Maxie."
"Tch! That ain't the least bit satisfying. We're leaving, Kyogre!"
"Hey! Cut it out, Kyogre! Can't you hear my orders?!"
"Where'd they go?!"
  • Super-Ancient Pokémon and People
"Whoa, hold on... What just happened?!"
"Er... Yeah, that makes sense. You're right, Shelly."
"However... Who is this that's suddenly appeared?"
"And you are...?"
"Nothing crazy."
"Maxie's Groudon attacked us, so I just retaliated."
"At the time, it seemed like Kyogre couldn't even hear me."
"Yeah. If we stay together with them, the same thing might happen again."
  • Uncontrollable Power
"What?"
"But...if there's a mastermind behind all this, why are they tryin' to make us fight?"
"Hmm?"
"It's from one of the grunts! They finally found it!"
"Hey! Talk to me! What happened?"
"Yeah...I know! We need to do something!"
  • Maxie and Archie
"I've had enough of this! Cut it out, you two!"
"Hey, Maxie!"
"Does letting these kids clean up after our mess look like justice to you?"
"Heh, it's been a while since we've had the same opinion on something."
"All right! Let's get it started!"
"Enough is enough, Matt!"
"Or do you need my fist to knock some sense into that head of yours?!"
"Matt!"
"I'm sorry, Matt..."
"If I've pushed you to that point, then I've failed as a leader..."
"Hit me with everything you've been feeling and bottling up until now!"
"Gaaaaahhh!"
  • The Terrifying Power of Nature
"Our Pokémon have been defeated, but..."
"How embarrassing... In the end, we gotta rely on some kids?"
"We've got enough problems trying to stop this rampage, but a giant meteor on top of that?"
"Darn it! Ain't there anything we can do other than sit back and watch?"
  • Destroy the Meteor

"Hate to break it to ya, but our only goal right now is to protect Pasio."
"We've got more life experience than you, kiddo, so we were gonna show you just how wrong you were, but..."
"Lookin' at your face now, I can tell you don't need that anymore."
"You've got a world to save—one where people and Pokémon can live together in happiness!"
"Psssht! Right back at'cha!"
"Don't go messin' things up on my watch, Maxie!"
Story Event - Masters of Land and Sea
  • A Creeping Crisis
"Thanks for the tip, kiddo!"
"Say, why aren't you scared of me?"
"Little scamps like you usually run away the moment they see my face..."
"I see! Your mom sure knows what's what, kiddo!"
"Hm? And who are you? That's quite a fierce expression for such a wee little scamp!"
"You're not runnin' away scared, either... There sure are some oddballs here on Pasio!"
"The name's Archie. I run an organization called Team Aqua."
"Basically, we're a group of environmentalists focused on protectin' the ocean!"
"Lemme ask you something—what do you think of Pasio?"
The ocean here is pretty!: "Tch... You don't get it, do you."
It's full of nature!: "Tch... You call this nature?"
"Lemme tell you somethin', kiddo. The ocean is an irreplaceable treasure for every livin' thing on this planet."
"But just look at this travesty!"
"Humans caused massive damage to the ocean to make this artificial island, all to satisfy their selfish egos!"
"We of Team Aqua work for the sake of all Pokémon of the sea!"
"Our mission is to return nature and the ocean back to their unspoiled origins!"
"Pasio is no exception!"
"This island makes me sick. I'd smash it to pieces if I could."
Don't do that!: "If the ocean had feelings, I'm sure it'd feel the same way about this island bein' plopped on top of it."
Don't blame Pasio!: "But what did the ocean ever do to anyone? Why's it gotta put up with havin' this island plopped on top of it?"
"Well, it's all moot anyway. I just got a tip that Kyogre was spotted on this island."
"With its power, I can carry out my plan to sink Pasio into the ocean!"
"This is my chance to make Kyogre's power mine..."
"You better not get in my way!"
  • Stop Archie!
"How can they call this island nature? It's nothin' but a blob of human greed!"
"Whaddya think, Kyogre?! Wanna help me plunge Pasio into the briny deep?!"
"Together, you and I are gonna make this sullied ocean pristine again!"
Archie, stop!: "Hm? Oh, it's you again."
Kyogre, don't do it!: "Who said that?! Oh, it's you again."
"Doesn't look like you came here to help me out."
"Of course I can, kiddo! What, it's OK to pollute the ocean, but sinking an island is where the line's drawn?"
"Why don't you explain that? It's the same thing, isn't it?!"
"Full of life, huh? You might have a point there."
"But what about all the living creatures that lost their homes because of this island?"
"Building Pasio damaged the nature surrounding it!"
"How can you say that's OK?"
"Wh-what?!"
  • Maxie's Objective
"Bwahahahahahaha! Bwaha! AHAHAHAHAHA!"
"That's it, Kyogre! Sink this island to the bottom of the ocean!"
"Wh-what?!"
"Hahaha! Yes! Keep it up!"
"Sink Pasio into the ocean!"
"Get outta here! The ocean will rise and swallow everything up!"
"Hm? That little scamp..."
"Tch. Of all the—"
"Maxie?!"
"What are you doing here?!"
"Tch... Fine!"
"Hey, you little scamps! Take care of this kid! Get her to safer ground!"
"Let's go, Sharpedo! We're gonna stop Kyogre and Groudon!"
  • Aqua and Magma Unite!
"C'mon, Maxie! Don't you dare hold me back!"
"Good. Thanks for doing that. Now I can finally cut loose!"
"I appreciate it, scamps."
"What're you actin' all high and mighty for! Just shut up and watch me!"
"Go get em', scamps!"
"Wait, are you sayin' it's my fault?"
"What's your point?"
"Are you sayin' Groudon and Kyogre came here because of us?"
"That doesn't explain why they were rampaging!"
"Hah! That's pretty pathetic for a couple of super-ancient Legendary Pokémon!"
"But if they were raging because of us..."
"then we've gotta take responsibility for that, don't we?!"
"I'm sorry, Kyogre!"
"I get it! You were freakin' out over bein' in some new place you didn't recognize!"
"But that battle we just had showed you that we make a good team, right?"
"Why don't I take care of you until we can head back home?"
"Yeah, I'll stop trying to sink Pasio into the ocean."
"Oh, NOW you two show up?!"
"We can't keep playin' nice together on Pasio anymore, huh?"
"Eh, that's more our style anyway! Don't you think so, too, Maxie-boy?"
"Hey, that's my line!"
"Whoa, hold your Horsea. No battlin' without me orderin' it, all right?"
"We can save it for next time! Now that your crew's all here, we can battle as much as we want!"
Story Event - Twin Stars Far Apart
  • Archie's Wish
  • Off-screen, as "???"
"You found it, huh."
  • After appearing, as Archie
"This Pokémon's name is Jirachi."
"When it wakes up from its long sleep, it can make any wish come true."
"Yeah... But as you can see, it's still asleep right now."
"Could we keep this a secret and just leave it alone?"
"If word gets out about Jirachi, people will show up by the boatload to try n' use its power..."
"People's greed knows no bounds. Once one wish comes true, there'll be another wish they want to make."
"Pokémon should never suffer because of human egos..."
"Right then. Thanks for understandin'."
"Say, Jirachi..."
"How nice would it be if everyone had a kind heart like them..."
  • Far, Far Away
"Is that the little scamp from Mossdeep?"
"Hey, what's going on?"
"No, I haven't...what's happening?"
"What?!"
"This is serious..."
"Cheer up, kiddo! I'll help you search, too! It's gonna be all right!"
"This is an odd situation. I have a million guesses about what bad guys would go after the Pokémon, but..."
"Real weird for the Trainer to be missing and the Pokémon to be left behind."
"Whoa, whoa! Are you saying the kid and that lady cop have been sent to another world?!"
"Hey! How can we save those two?!"
"Don't be givin' up now, Tate! We've still got an option."
"Come with me!"
"From here on out, this is between me and Tate—and it's top secret!"
  • No Matter the Distance
"There's a legend of Jirachi that goes like this:"
"Jirachi will awaken from its sleep of a thousand years if you sing to it in a voice of purity."
"It is said to make true any wish that people desire."
"Tate...if you really want to find Liza, I think Jirachi will respond."
"Heh."
"If Jirachi refuses, I won't force it to do anything."
"But if Jirachi itself wants to help, that's a different story!"
"So basically, it's up to you, Tate!"
"First we'll see if you're able to sing a song that wakes Jirachi..."
"And then we see if your wish is sincere!"
"... ... ..."
"Ji-Jirachi woke up!"
"Go ahead, say your wish. Jirachi's waiting for you."
  • Wish upon a Star
"H-hey! Look, kiddo!"
"Happy for you two, Tate, Liza..."
"I'll leave the rest to you, copper."
"Yeah..."
"Hey, Shelly."
"I've heard you're supposed to wish upon a star at the star festival event."
"What are you wishing for?"
"Hahaha! Didn't need to ask, did I?"
  • Off-screen
"(I hope when those kiddos grow up, and even after that...)"
"(People and Pokémon in the world can carry on laughing with each other like this. That's all I wish for.)"
Sync Pair Story - A Day with Archie
"... ... ..."
Hi!/What are you doing?: "Hm?"
"Oh, hey there, kiddo!"
"This is my favorite beach on this island."
"So whenever I have some free time, I come here with Kyogre."
"If you've come all the way out here, why don't you join me and take in the sight of this beautiful ocean?"
I think I will!: "Yeah. Let its beauty wash over you."
You're right! It's pretty!: "Bwahaha! You have good taste, kid."
"It really is breathtaking. Don't you feel like it's cleansing your soul just to look at it?"
"The ocean is a precious place for all living creatures."
"But humans have dirtied and destroyed it for the sake of their egos..."
"How selfish can people be? I can't live in a world where we hurt innocent Pokémon!"
"That's why my mission is to expand this beautiful, thriving ocean!"
"Pasio may be an artificial island, but the ocean it was built on is a marvel of nature."
"I hope this island can become a Pokémon paradise!"
"I'm sure if we use Pasio's technology to make the ocean a better place, more Pokémon can live on this island as they please!"
"Until now, humans have destroyed nature and left Pokémon without a place to live!"
"But maybe this time, an artificial island made by humans can save those Pokémon."
"Team Aqua will make these ambitions a reality!"
"In order to do that, we need more people."
"Scouting sync pairs here on Pasio to join our team is an important part of my job!"
"We gotta take care of the riffraff that gets in the way of us creating a better environment for Pokémon."
People AND Pokémon are important!/We have to protect people too!: "Heh... So you think humans are just as important as Pokémon, huh?"
"Bwahahaha! You're an interesting little scamp!"
"Fine by me! It that's what you believe, back it up by showin' me what you're made of!"
"If you can prove your strength here on Pasio, I'll let you join Team Aqua!"
"Bwahaha! Bwahahahahahaha!"
"I'll save you a spot in our ranks, <player>!"
