Long ago, Archie's father gave him a Carvanha and sailed out to Sea.
He never came back.
Archie Hitchcock had not intended to become a sailor.
He had been kind of picked up by a crew when he was a struggling trainer.
His Ma had wanted to get back to her Pokémon, so he had started his journey early.
And he figured, why not join the Sea Mauville?. Get some experience, get paid, see the world. Seemed like a good deal.
Unfortunately, the working conditions on the ship were as such that Mutiny made more sense then continuing to work there.
So they became Pirates. Well, some went back to their research jobs, or their sailor jobs, doing their best to bury the memory of the Sea Mauville in the ocean where they left it.
Eventually there was a crew left, and Archie was the best person left to lead it.
He knew his ships, and he knew his men. Life never turns out how you expect, so he rolls with it.
"Wouldn't it be better if the world was mostly Ocean?" He asks his first mate idly.
"Legends say that Kyogre can do that."
"Tell me more?" He asks.
He had not yet heard the legends of Kyogre, but it already sounds like his kind of Pokémon.
