Once in Route 128 all you need to do is head underwater and navigate until you find a cave entrance, which holds the Submarine Explorer 1 which Team Magma^R / Team Aqua^S stole from Captain Stern in Slateport City. Surface from here to reach the Seafloor Cavern.

Also this is the only place to find wild Luvdisc to collect Heart Scales if you need to use the Move relearner in Fallarbor Town. If you wish, head to the east exit to reach Ever Grande City, the place where the Elite Four is. Though you cannot climb the waterfall, you can use the Super Rod to find a wild Wailord, which you will need to catch for the Sealed Chamber unless if you already caught it's pre-evolution.

Seafloor Cavern

Team Aqua Grunt♂S	Lv 37 Poochyena♂, Lv 37 Carvanha♂	$740
Team Aqua Grunt♂S	Lv 38 Carvanha♂	$760
Team Aqua Grunt♂S	Lv 36 Poochyena♂, Lv 36 Zubat♂, Lv 36 Carvanha♂	$720

Before entering, make sure that other than having Dive and Surf, to also have Strength and Rock Smash since there are rocks and boulders here. After heading through the entrance carefully move the boulders to head through and deal with the two grunts. Regardless of which door you use they will lead you to a four door maze filled with rocks and stones. By carefully moving them out of the way you should reach the upper left door which is the correct door.

The next part contains a jet water stream and the trick is to reach for the upper left door without going into the island door which takes you back to the entrance. Followed by that is a room filled with boulders. Use strength and you will face the same Team Magma/Aqua Administrators from the Weather Institute, Courtney^R/Shelly^S.

After defeating the Administrator, head up and solve another boulder puzzle to head through the door there.

How to Solve the boulder puzzle

After the battle Maxie^R/Archie^S are surprised by your skill but know it is pointless as they use their stolen orb to awaken Groudon^R/Kyogre^S. However the awakened Pokémon only flees which the team leader is surprised with. Just as Maxie^R/Archie^S is surprised to learn the weather change is more serious than expected, Archie^R/Maxie^S arrive with their team and criticize him for their foolish actions.

You will then be taken outside to see the changed weather of extreme heat^R/downpour^S just as Maxie^R/Archie^S admits their mistake. Once the two team leaders leave, Steven Stone arrives and connects the source of this severe weather condition to Sootopolis City before leaving. Head either from south on Route 124, or west on Route 127 to reach Route 126 where Sootopolis is located.
