{{Ash}} and [[Max]] visited the Oceanic Museum in ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', where they met [[Captain Stern]], who was analyzing a heat affected rock sample from the ocean floor. During their visit, [[Team Magma]] tried to steal the stone sample, though Ash and Captain Stern intervened. During the squabble the sample broke into two with Team Magma escaping with the larger portion, while Captain Stern was fortunately left with a smaller fragment sufficient enough for his research.

The player must pay an entrance fee of $50 to enter the museum. One of the Team MagmaROR/Team Aqua GruntsSEAS visiting the museum, the same one that the player had beaten in Petalburg Woods and Rusturf Tunnel, gives the player TM46 (Thief). The Grunt will stay in the museum (even after the player defeats his colleagues on the second floor) until he gives the player the TM and runs off after giving it to them.
The first floor contains information about the sea in the form of seven exhibits. There is also a reporter who asks the player to tell him a story about Pokémon. This report will later be aired on TV.
On the second floor, when the player first visits, they will battle two members of the villainous team. Additionally, this floor has nine exhibits which include models of the Hoenn region and several cruise ships including the Royal UnovaORAS and the S.S. Anne.
Trainers with a PokéNav by their names will be registered in the Trainer's Eyes or Match Call function after the first battle, and may have a rematch with the player with higher-level Pokémon.

The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, as the reception believes that the player is part of their group. However, it only works if the player lacks the $50 fee, which will prompt the receptionist to believe that the player is part of either Team Magma or Team Aqua.
