Team Aqua
Sociopathic eco-terrorists seeking the total extermination of human life to return the world to the Pokémon.
Team Aqua is no longer a structured organization—it is a global maritime plague. Driven by a misanthropic interpretation of oceanic expansion, they view every pier, ship, and coastal city as an insult to the primordial sea. Despite their failure to control Kyogre, their ideology has only hardened: if the sea will not rise to swallow humanity, they will tear humanity down into the sea.
Total Human Erasure
The belief that humanity is a terminal parasite. Expanding the seas is not just about habitat; it is about the cleansing of civilization.
Maritime Insurgency
Hiding in unmapped deep-sea trenches and raiding cargo ships, ferries, and oil rigs for resources to fuel their crusade.
Deep-Sea Guerrilla Tactics
Specializing in ambush attacks using Sharpedo-led boarding parties and high-pressure underwater explosives.
Since the collapse of their Lilycove headquarters, Team Aqua has retreated to Seafloor Caverns and mobile sub-aquatic bases. They prowl international waters, raiding transportation routes for food, fuel, and medical supplies. They do not negotiate; they scavenge.
Archie (The Radical)
A charismatic sociopath whose love for Pokémon is matched only by his hatred for human infrastructure. He leads from the shadows of the abyss.
The Shattered Admins
Shelly and Matt coordinate decentralized cells across the world’s oceans, maintaining a network of hidden Seafloor Caverns.
Aqua's attacks are surgical—disabling ship engines and using Water-type Pokémon to drag crews into the depths. Merchant Vessels and Trainers are urged to exercise caution during deep-sea operations.
