Archie gladly stares out into the open blue sea inside his submarine while drinking another cup of beer. He smiles in joy, seeing all the water Pokemon mingling with each other. From his mind, he wonders how great the world will be when the oceans will be superior over the land. He could not wait but take grip of the blue orb that can soon awaken Kyogre from its chambers.
His moment of peace was suddenly disrupted when Shelly entered his room, wearing a worried and anxious expression on her face. An admin like her never becomes anxious unless something wrong has happened. In a gentle manner, she approaches Archie, tapping his shoulders smoothly.
"Shelly? What ya doin' here? Ah, you missed the sea didn't ya?"
"No Archie. I came to report terrible news. Are hideout beneath Dewford town has been completely wrecked with no survivors. All one hundred and twenty men drowned and some were killed from their escape pod. I tried to call them but no one was answering.
On our main radars, the submarine plate number disappeared. It is at that moment when I knew the hideout is no more." she explains, stressed about what happened.
"Good grief. Now we have a large problem to deal with aye? Who did this? The filthy Team Magma? Sigh, those scavengers never stop."
"No Archie, something far worse. They call themselves Team Rocket, an organization based in Kanto and Johto-"
"Then what in the world are they doing in Hoenn?" Archie interrupts.
"I believe they also have different minor headquarters scattered worldwide. Anyway, we noticed this is the work of two of their agents. Luna Evergreen, seventeen-year-old, once an orphan and now an Elite Operative of Team Rocket. Zeal Diamond, seventeen years old, once a trainer and now an Elite Operative of the same organization."
"Wait a minute. How were ya able to gather this information?"
"I did my research. Luna is everywhere in the wanted list at Johto and Kanto. She's an infamous agent there. As for Zeal, I found her details online in Trainer.net, it shows all the names of trainers or those who were once. Both of them had killed a lot of people and they just demonstrated that in our submarine."
"Haha! Two weasels gonna wreck us? I don't think so." Archie laughs hysterically, opening another bottle of beer with a bottle opener.
"Sigh. You are being over-confident again. They wrecked our submarine, and they're just two! What more if they're whole organization attacks us? We'd be beaten like meat." Shelly exaggerates, walking around the room in circles behind Maxie.
"Keep ya faith firm. It's not like they're going to bombard our submarine anytime sooner. Hahaha! Do not worry Shelly, leave the issue to me and I will think of a solution tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?! Why not now when you have a ton of free time aside from daydreaming about your aquatic fantasies?"
"I'm tired."
"All you did was to sit down in that chair."
"Listen here Shelly, I know my obligation as a leader of this organization. If what ya say is true then my members wouldn't be loyal to me don't ya think? You panic too much. Sometimes all ya need is to take a deep breath and enjoy life once in a while. The more you are serious, the more wrinkles will form on your forehead. Haha! I'm fooling around, go ahead and take a day-off."
"Y-yes, Archie." Shelly leaves the room, not uttering another word. Inside her is a deep disappointment for the boss. As she walks through her path, her mind was filled with rage as she imagines swearing at Archie. Despite this, Shelly still has trust towards her boss but Archie is just really annoying in many ways, many scenarios.
Walking through the hallways with anger, she accidentally stumbles upon the new secretary of Team Aqua.
"Will you watch it?!" Shelly scolds the secretary.
"Fix your eye-patch, perhaps in that way you will see more clearly." The secretary counters back as she picks up the pieces of paper lying on the floor. She then continues her saunter through the halls, parting-ways with the admin.
Not wanting to end in another conflict, Shelly no longer minded her words and instead forget that she ever bumped into the silent secretary who rarely speaks. When she does, it is an insult or a compliment either for the boss or to the other members.
