Within a cove near Lilycove City laid Team Aqua's very own hideout, which was surprisingly advanced despite its location. These were the guys who were determined to awaken Kyogre and expand the seas.

At first, it seemed like a pirate's hideout, but it was surprisingly modern and neat inside the base.

As you explore the hideout, you overhear someone laughing and investigate. There, you see Team Aqua's leader Archie, training his Sharpedo.
