The Begining of Teams Aqua and Magma Chapter 10: The Blueprints for Aquataine
With all the negative attention Team Magma was getting over the next four months, people began to support Team Aqua. This was partly due to the fact that Magnus requested Archie to have Hoenn TV focus on Team Magma's crimes and Team Aqua's good deeds. With all the support being thrown to Team Aqua, the floating city, still without a name, was ahead of schedule. Magnus was so excited about the city being ahead of schedule, he moved Team Aqua's headquarters to the city already.
Archie finished moving in on the top floor. He looked around satisfied. This was what he really wanted, more than anything else. Completing his panoramic view of his new office, Archie noticed and rolled up paper in the corner. Archie walked over and unrolled it. It was the blueprints to Magnus' city.
Archie went over to his phone and called his father. Magnus' face appeared on the screen. "What can I do for you, son?" he asked.
"Dad, I found the blueprints in my office. They must have been left here by mistake," said Archie.
"I can't believe I left them there!" he said, shocked. "You couldn't tell that we weren't working with the blueprints. Construction is going smoothly. Oh well, I'll have a Team Aqua member pick them up at the TV tower."
"Ok, see you later," said Archie. The screen went black. Archie walked out of his office. He wanted to hand the blueprints off on the first floor, rather than having the Team Aqua member coming all the way up. Archie got in an elevator and pressed the "Ground" button.
On the way down, Archie unrolled the blueprints again to look at them. The idea was cool. Archie would probably opt to live there, but since it was affiliated with Team Aqua, Archie would probably only set foot there twice. Archie rolled the blueprints up again and the elevator door opened.
Across the lobby, a man in a black shirt and pants, with a short, red jacket walked in. It reminded Archie of Team Magma, but something told him it wasn't. Curious to find out why the man was dressed like that and what he was doing here, Archie approached him. "Can I help you?" Archie asked.
The man looked down at Archie's hand. "Yes," he said, moving looking at Archie's face again. "I am a Team Aqua member."
"No you're not. They wear blue," said Archie.
"You see, I am a special forces Team Aqua member," said the man in red.
Archie thought about it for a while. He didn't get too involved in the affairs of Team Aqua, so naturally, he wouldn't know if they had a Special Forces branch. However, Magnus did say he was sending an Aqua member. Could he possibly think that these blueprints were so valuable and to be top secret, that he would send a member of the Special Forces?
Archie extended his hand forward, about to give the man the blueprints when he looked over the man's shoulder and saw what he knew for sure to be a Team Aqua member, entering from the outside.
"Don't!" screamed the Team Aqua admin, causing all activity in the lobby to stop focus on them.
Archie jerked his hand back to his side and asked, "Who are you?" to the man in red.
The man in red growled and took out a Pokeball and snatched the blueprints at the same time. A Rhyhorn appeared from the man's Pokeball. "You will allow me to leave peacefully, or else this Rhyhorn will start an earthquake that will level the entire tower," threatened the Team Magma admin.
"Why don't you get out your Pokemon, Team Aqua?" shouted Archie across the lobby. "You can take him down before he has a chance to do anything."
"Actually, I can't. I have a Goldeen. It just flops around when it is out of the water," replied the Team Aqua member. Archie smacked his head.
They had nothing else to do but watch the Team Magma admin walk out with the blueprints. The Rhyhorn stayed behind. No one dared to move the next ten minutes, while they were being held hostage by the Rhyhorn. Eventually, the Rhyhorn horn's started to spin, and it drilled a hole into the floor, where it escaped. As it was drilling, Archie cringed at the thought of how much it was going to cost to fix the hole.
Once the Rhyhorn was completely out of site, the Team Aqua admin, Archie, and a few other people crowded around the whole and looked down. It was dark inside. "What are we going to do?" asked the Team aqua admin.
"Don't worry," said Archie. "I'll handle it." He began to walk back to the elevators. "Close the tower, I want that hole fixed as fast as possible," he commanded.
When Archie got back into his office, he called his father. When Magnus' face appeared on the screen, Archie said, "Hello, father."
"Archie! How did the transition go?"
"It didn't," said Archie. Magnus' smile disappeared. "In fact, I thought it would be better to not give Team Aqua the blueprints, seeing how construction is going smoothly."
"Good thinking. Yeah, we're ready to have people move in now. All we need to do is the finishing touches but that will take a week, and it really won't interfere with the lives of the people living here."
"Oh, good," said Archie. "I'll have a camera crew go down there as soon as possible."
"Excellent. I just decided to name the city Aquataine. Well, I'll talk to you later," said Magnus. "Bye."
The screen went blank and Archie let out a breath of relief. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him," Archie said to himself.
