'''Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''{{j|アクア{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Aqua-dan'', literally ''Aqua Gang'') is one of two [[villainous teams]] found in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Magma]]. Team Aqua's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of water in the world by awakening {{p|Kyogre}}.
'''Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''{{j|アクア{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Aqua-dan'', literally ''Aqua Gang'') is one of the two [[villainous team]]s with their organization based in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Magma]]. In Generation III, Team Aqua's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of water in the world while in Generation VI, they are trying to return the world to a state for Pokémon by awakening {{p|Kyogre}} to wipe out human civilization and return the world to its beginnings, so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress.

Team Aqua appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Kyogre out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} (and {{p|Grimer}} in Alpha Sapphire) plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{t|Water}} types such as {{p|Carvanha}} (and {{p|Wailmer}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Archie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] and [[Shelly]].

===In Sapphire===
===Pokémon Sapphire===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use the {{key|III|Meteorite}} to cease the eruption of [[Mt. Chimney]], which would cause rainwater to fill the cooled-down crater. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}, where Kyogre awaits. Kyogre, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

Team Aqua is relegated to a supporting role in Ruby, with [[Team Magma]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Groudon}} instead.

===In Emerald===
===Pokémon Emerald===
Team Aqua's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Sapphire, with them stealing the sub to obtain Kyogre. After awakening Kyogre and seeing Kyogre and Groudon clash together, both Team Magma's [[Maxie]] and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===In Alpha Sapphire===
===Pokémon Alpha Sapphire===
In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Aqua saw a world with more seas as ideal for both Pokémon and humans, in Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua wishes to expand the sea to wipe out human civilization and return the world to its beginnings, so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Magma, who in this version of the story believe that the land must be expanded to progress human living conditions.

Team Aqua was introduced in ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'' where a member of the team infiltrated the [[Devon Corporation]] and stole two capsules of "Creation Fluid". His plans were stopped by Team Rocket's Jessie and James, who intended to steal the same thing, all parties involved not realizing that "Creation Fluid" was nothing more than water. In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', this same member took a boat of [[Mr. Briney]]'s to escape from the police and headed for open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescued him. This particular grunt is voiced by [[Darren Dunstan]] in English.

Team Aqua appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]'', where [[Archie]] and three {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt|Grunts}} explored the [[Seafloor Cavern]] in search of {{p|Kyogre}}. Upon finding Kyogre, the Aqua Leader used the [[Blue Orb]] to awaken Kyogre's [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] form, despite [[Shelly]]'s protests. Their scheme didn't go as planned, however, and the team was forced to watch as Kyogre devastated the [[Hoenn]] region. Aboard the [[Submarine Explorer 1]], Archie and Shelly were last seen getting attacked by Primal Kyogre.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Team Aqua's goal was to create more sea in the Hoenn region, making them bitter enemies of Team Magma, whose goal it was to expand the amount of land in Hoenn. In order to accomplish their goal, they decided to capture Kyogre, a Legendary Water Pokémon that had been sleeping in the Seafloor Cavern for centuries after a massive collision with the Legendary {{p|Groudon}}. After Team Aqua's plans were thwarted by {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, Archie went insane because he had bonded with the orbs, trying to destroy everything in his way with Maxie. Their plans were again foiled by Ruby and Sapphire.  
Team Aqua were portrayed as more influential than their counterparts [[Team Magma]]. Their leader Archie, as the director of Hoenn TV, was able to orchestrate a cover-up of Team Aqua schemes and the identity of the team itself, while reporting [[Team Magma]] schemes and airing anti-Team Magma propaganda whenever they could. This was how [[Gabby]] and [[Ty]] seemed to be unable to tell the full story of what happened to [[Mr. Stone]] on {{rt|104|Hoenn}}, or the ending of volcanic activity on [[Mt. Chimney]], a successful scheme led by the {{tc|Aqua Admin}}s. In addition, Team Aqua's headquarters in [[Lilycove City]] was able to house countless aquariums of {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
 
Team Aqua's influence on the media eventually became too much for one man - Magma Leader [[Maxie]], who went to Lilycove to confront Archie. Archie eventually settled on a truce with Maxie which involved the two teams combining forces to reach the same destination together, as while Team Magma held the submarine built by [[Captain Stern]], Team Aqua had control of the [[Devon Parts]] they stole from Mr. Stone, which enabled the submarine to reach its destination.


Unlike Team Magma's administrators, Team Aqua's administrators, also known as the [[Subleaders of the Sea Scheme]], seem to pay more respect for their leader than their Team Magma counterparts, following his orders as explicitly as they can. Team Aqua also had an influence on the media, as Archie was the director of Hoenn TV. This way, they could cover up their own schemes while airing anti-Team Magma propaganda.
The ending of volcanic activity was expected to bring the conditions necessary for {{p|Kyogre}} to quickly gain areas of influence once it awakened. However, this was not the case, and Archie sent {{adv|Amber}} over to investigate. Once Archie obtained the [[Blue Orb]], he trapped Amber in the submarine they took to get to the [[Seafloor Cavern]], as well as the Blue Orb's previous holder [[Tabitha]]. Moreover, Archie took out the Devon Parts from the submarine and put it on auto-pilot so that it would burst. Despite surviving this event, Amber swore his allegiance to Team Aqua and joined forces with his fellow Admins to confront the Hoenn [[Gym Leader]]s who were also impeding Kyogre's advance.
 
===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
Archie disbanded Team Aqua shortly after assuming [[Guile Hideout|his new guise]].
 
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Archie returned at the same time that '''Neo Team Aqua''' (Japanese: '''新生アクア団''' ''Neo Aqua Gang'') were formed by new incarnations of [[Matt]] and [[Shelly]], to cooperate with [[Zinnia]].

Team Aqua is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Aqua are dual {{ct|Darkness}}. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion.

Team Aqua (Japanese: アクア団 Aqua-dan, literally Aqua Gang) is one of the two villainous teams with their organization based in the Hoenn region, alongside their rivals, Team Magma. In Generation III, Team Aqua's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of water in the world while in Generation VI, they are trying to return the world to a state for Pokémon by awakening Kyogre to wipe out human civilization and return the world to its beginnings, so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress.

In the core series games

Team Aqua appears only in the Hoenn-based games Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as their remakes Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, where they scheme to bring Kyogre out of its slumber.

Generally, Team Aqua Grunts have weaker Pokémon, with Zubat and Poochyena (and Grimer in Alpha Sapphire) plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are Water types such as Carvanha (and Wailmer in Emerald). The team is headed by Archie and his two immediate subordinates Matt and Shelly.

Pokémon Sapphire

Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use the Meteorite to cease the eruption of Mt. Chimney, which would cause rainwater to fill the cooled-down crater. When this is thwarted by the player, they set themselves up in Lilycove City's cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from Slateport harbor, which they use to travel to the Seafloor Cavern with the Red Orb, where Kyogre awaits. Kyogre, however, is not able to be controlled, and leaves for the Cave of Origin in Sootopolis City where it must be captured by the player or defeated.

Pokémon Ruby

Team Aqua is relegated to a supporting role in Ruby, with Team Magma instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening Groudon instead.

Pokémon Emerald

Team Aqua's deeds are partly the same in Pokémon Emerald as they are in Sapphire, with them stealing the sub to obtain Kyogre. After awakening Kyogre and seeing Kyogre and Groudon clash together, both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's Archie realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by Rayquaza.

Pokémon Alpha Sapphire

In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Team Aqua's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Aqua saw a world with more seas as ideal for both Pokémon and humans, in Alpha Sapphire Team Aqua wishes to expand the sea to wipe out human civilization and return the world to its beginnings, so that Pokémon can live untainted by humanity's progress. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Magma, who in this version of the story believe that the land must be expanded to progress human living conditions.

Main series

Team Aqua in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

Team Aqua was introduced in Stairway to Devon where a member of the team infiltrated the Devon Corporation and stole two capsules of "Creation Fluid". His plans were stopped by Team Rocket's Jessie and James, who intended to steal the same thing, with all parties involved not realizing that "Creation Fluid" was nothing more than water. In On a Wingull and a Prayer!, this same member took a boat of Mr. Briney's to escape from the police and headed for the open ocean, where a Team Aqua submarine rescued him. This particular grunt is voiced by Darren Dunstan in English.

Team Aqua later appeared in A Three Team Scheme and Unfair Weather Friends. Their final, and most prominent appearance was in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends, when they and Team Magma began the battle between Kyogre and Groudon.

Pokémon Generations

Team Aqua in Pokémon Generations

Team Aqua appeared in The Cavern, where Archie and three Grunts explored the Seafloor Cavern in search of Kyogre. Upon finding Kyogre, the Aqua Leader used the Blue Orb to awaken Kyogre's Primal form, despite Shelly's protests. Their scheme didn't go as planned, however, and the team was forced to watch as Kyogre devastated the Hoenn region. Aboard the Submarine Explorer 1, Archie and Shelly were last seen getting attacked by Primal Kyogre.

In the manga

Pokémon Adventures

Ruby & Sapphire arc

Team Aqua were portrayed as more influential than their counterparts Team Magma. Their leader Archie, as the director of Hoenn TV, was able to orchestrate a cover-up of Team Aqua schemes and the identity of the team itself, while reporting Team Magma schemes and airing anti-Team Magma propaganda whenever they could. This was how Gabby and Ty seemed to be unable to tell the full story of what happened to Mr. Stone on Route 104, or the ending of volcanic activity on Mt. Chimney, a successful scheme led by the Aqua Admins. In addition, Team Aqua's headquarters in Lilycove City was able to house countless aquariums of Water-type Pokémon.

Team Aqua's influence on the media eventually became too much for one man - Magma Leader Maxie, who went to Lilycove to confront Archie. Archie eventually settled on a truce with Maxie which involved the two teams combining forces to reach the same destination together, as while Team Magma held the submarine built by Captain Stern, Team Aqua had control of the Devon Parts they stole from Mr. Stone, which enabled the submarine to reach its destination.

The ending of volcanic activity was expected to bring the conditions necessary for Kyogre to quickly gain areas of influence once it awakened. However, this was not the case, and Archie sent Amber over to investigate. Once Archie obtained the Blue Orb, he trapped Amber in the submarine they took to get to the Seafloor Cavern, as well as the Blue Orb's previous holder Tabitha. Moreover, Archie took out the Devon Parts from the submarine and put it on auto-pilot so that it would burst. Despite surviving this event, Amber swore his allegiance to Team Aqua and joined forces with his fellow Admins to confront the Hoenn Gym Leaders who were also impeding Kyogre's advance.

Emerald arc

Archie disbanded Team Aqua shortly after assuming his new guise.

Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc

Archie returned at the same time that Neo Team Aqua (Japanese: 新生アクア団 Neo Aqua Gang) were formed by new incarnations of Matt and Shelly, to cooperate with Zinnia.

In the TCG

Team Aqua is featured in the Pokémon Trading Card Game in the EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua and Double Crisis expansions. Their ambitions and specialties here reflect the other media they appear in. Unlike Team Rocket, which initially featured Dark Pokémon as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Aqua are dual Darkness-type. This mechanic would also be used on subsequent Team Rocket-related Pokémon in the EX Team Rocket Returns expansion.
