Leader of Team Aqua — a zealot who believes expanding the ocean will save the world, consumed by a blue god he thought he could control.
Archie genuinely believes he's saving the world. The ocean covers seventy percent of the planet — more water means more habitat, more life, more biodiversity. His logic isn't insane; his methods are. He commands Team Aqua with military precision, deploying his admins — Shelly, Matt, and Amber — to manipulate media, sabotage Team Magma, and locate the Blue Orb. He and Maxie are dark mirrors. Both started from reasonable ecological positions and radicalized into existential threats. They briefly cooperate to steal the Orbs from Mt. Pyre, then betray each other immediately. At Seafloor Cavern, Archie uses the Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre. But the Orbs aren't tools — they're parasites. The Blue Orb bonds to Archie and overrides his consciousness. He becomes Kyogre's puppet, his body deteriorating as the ancient power burns through him. Ruby and Sapphire have to force the Orbs out of both leaders' bodies using a Grand Meteor fragment and their Pokémon's attacks. Archie's Pokémon include Walrein and Sharpedo.
Tall, muscular man with a dark beard and intense eyes. Wears a black bandana with the Team Aqua insignia, a dark wetsuit-style outfit, and a long overcoat. Built like a sailor, moves like a commander. After the Blue Orb possesses him, blue veins crawl up his arms and his eyes gain an inhuman tidal quality.
