27. Aqua Hideout

Walkthrough

Fly to Slateport City and go into the harbor, where Capt. Stern's submarine is docked. Archie and his grunts steal it in front of you, and Archie dares you to follow them to their hideout in Lilycove City.

Fly to Lilycove City and surf across the cove to the cave entrance in the rocks. This is the Aqua Hideout, which has three floors of Team Aqua grunts. Two of the item balls on the lower floor are Electrode that attack when you touch them.

At the dock on the bottom floor, the Team Aqua admin Matt battles you while the submarine leaves without him. Beat him to clear the hideout.

The Wailmer that were blocking the sea east of Lilycove have now gone, so you can surf on to Mossdeep City.
