- Before battle
- "Hehehe! So you've come all the way here! But you're too late! I've already delivered the Meteorite from Meteor Falls to the Boss!"
- When defeated
- "Hehehe... So I lost... I'm sure glad I never took you on back at Meteor Falls!"
- After being defeated
- "Hehehe! You might have beaten me, but you don't stand a chance against the Boss! If you get lost now, you won't have to face a sound whipping!"
Aqua Hideout

- "Hehehe... So, I lost, too..."
- After being defeated
- "Hehehe! While I was toying with you, our Boss got through his preparations!"
- "Hehehe! Our Boss has already gone on his way to some cave under the sea! If you're going to give chase, you'd better search the big, wide sea beyond Lilycove. But will you find it then? Hehehe!"

Matt, referred to as Ark in the Chuang Yi translation, is a villain in the Pokémon Adventures manga. He first appears in Lombre Larceny along with his fellow Team Aqua members, Shelly and Amber, where they plot to kidnap Mr. Stone. They disguise themselves as staff personnel and trap his Castform in a fountain, and were going to take him away and steal his Devon Goods when he wasn't looking. Their plan goes perfectly until Sapphire arrives to the scene and rescues Mr. Stone's Castform from the fountain, thus forcing them to kidnap him publicly when they originally wanted to do it in secrecy. They manage to steal the goods and escape to the Petalburg Woods, with Sapphire, Gabby, and Ty chasing them. There, they battle Sapphire and manage to overpower her, forcing her to escape and leave the goods.
For their success in stealing the Devon Goods, Matt, Shelly, and Amber are promoted to Admin status by their leader, Archie. Still, he reminds them of their failure in silencing Sapphire, Ty, and Gabby, the three people who saw their faces during the mission.
Matt next appears at Mt. Chimney in Bubble Bubble Toil and Azumarill I, holding Flannery hostage in a cable car so that he can lure in Sapphire. When Sapphire enters the cable car to rescue Flannery and battle Matt, he has his Azumarill completely flood the car with water, while at the same time creating an air bubble so that he alone can breathe. He taunts Sapphire and Flannery about their impending deaths, but after several minutes elapse with Sapphire still successfully holding her breath, he calls out his Sharpedo to kill them more quickly. Sapphire's Chic's Iron Defense stops Sharpedo's attack, breaking its fangs, but Matt laughingly tells them that Sharpedo's fangs grow right back, and once more waits for them to drown. Sapphire, however, uses the broken fangs to pierce the glass window of the cable car, draining out all the water, much to Matt's shock. Now able to breathe and free to attack, Sapphire has Chic use Take Down on Matt and his Pokémon. When the cable car reaches the top of the mountain, Shelly and Amber find Matt, his Azumarill, and his Sharpedo smashed against the glass window, unconscious. Matt is carried away on a stretcher by several Aqua grunts.
He is not seen again until Always Keep Whiscash on You for Emergencies, when Team Magma and Team Aqua briefly join forces to journey to the bottom of the sea in the Submarine Explorer 1. Matt expresses excitement at the prospect of going to the Seafloor Cavern, but Archie asks him whether he really thinks he can join them. Matt hesitantly says that he's almost fully recovered from his injuries, but then Archie has his Walrein knock Matt to the floor with a savage blow to his face, saying that after his failure at Mt. Chimney he will be left behind, and Amber will be coming instead.
During the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Matt faces off against Winona, using his Sharpedo against Winona's Altaria. By having Sharpedo use Taunt, he is able to stop Winona from giving commands to her Altaria, and she grudgingly admits that even though Team Aqua are the enemy, they still have excellent teamwork. Still, Altaria is able to defeat Sharpedo eventually, as in Matt's last appearance in The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon IX, he is shown struggling to stay above the surface of the water as Shelly flies away with her Vibrava, telling him that only he can save himself now. Matt is not seen again after this, and it is unknown whether he escaped or drowned.
