The Team Aqua Hideout (Japanese: アクアだんアジトTeam Aqua Hideout), called Aqua Hideout in the Generation III games, is the main base of Team Aqua in Pokémon Sapphire, Emerald and Alpha Sapphire.
The hideout is located in the northeast of Lilycove City. Inside, they are many warp tiles. There is also some water from which the submarine departs from.
Role
The Hideout is only accessible after Team Aqua has stolen the submarine in Slateport City. On the player's first visit, there are also a number of Team Aqua Grunts that will try and slow down the player. At the back of the hideout, the player battles Aqua Admin Matt, who will tell the player that Archie, the leader of Team Aqua, has left with the submarine to the watery depths near Sootopolis City. After the submarine departs, the Wailmer that the Team Aqua Grunt was trying to train that were blocking access to Route 124 are gone.
In Sapphire, the entrance to the hideout is sealed after defeating Tate and Liza, meaning the player can no longer collect any items or battle any Trainers inside.
Delta Episode
During the Delta Episode, after Zinnia has destroyed the dimensional shifter controller at the Mossdeep Space Center, she storms the hideout, defeating Team Aqua Grunts on her way to Archie to steal his Key Stone. In Archie's room, when the player arrives Zinnia has just defeated Archie, who then takes Archie's Key Stone. After she announces her plans to head to the Sky Pillar to awaken Rayquaza and leaves, Archie has Shelly give the player his Sharpedoite.
After receiving the Sharpedoite from Shelly, the player receives an Entry Call on their PokéNav Plus from Steven, who requests that the player meet him at the Mossdeep Space Center.

Because the entrance is sealed after defeating Tate and Liza, if the player does not obtain the Master Ball here before that, they cannot get the Master Ball without winning the Lilycove Department StorePokémon Lottery Corner or trading one in. This does not happen in Emerald or Alpha Sapphire.
There is a picture of a boy with a shaved head, a girl with black hair, and a Pokémon with three notes attached to its head. "The 7th day of the –th month, –002. With Arc–e and –rachi." The letters at the edge of the picture are faded and hard to read…
Based on the description, the picture likely features young Archie and Shelly with Jirachi. The date described can possibly be the 7th of July, the date of Tanabata, the Japanese star festival which Jirachi is commonly associated with, while the year is likely 2002, the year when Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire were first released. In the Spanish version of the game, the date is slightly altered, showing the year number –003 instead of –002. This is a possible reference to Tomiko Suzuki, the voice actor who voiced Jirachi in Jirachi: Wish Maker and died of a heart attack on July 7, 2003, the same date as Tanabata was held.
