Emerald Team Aqua Hideout
Team Aqua's base, hidden in a sea cave on the Lilycove City shore. Archie slips away with Captain Stern's stolen submarine while you fight through the hideout, leaving Admin Matt to stall you at the dock.
Team Aqua Hideout is in Hoenn. In the story you arrive from Lilycove City to the south and it comes before Route 124.

Team Aqua Hideout Guide
In a sea cave on the eastern shore of Lilycove City. Two grunts block the entrance until Team Aqua steals Captain Stern's submarine at Slateport City.
On B1F of Team Aqua's Hideout, in a side room off the chase route, watched by two Electrode disguised as items. The game only ever hands you one Master Ball.
No. Emerald gives each team its own base. Team Aqua stays at Lilycove, while Team Magma moves inland to a hideout off Jagged Pass beneath Mount Chimney.
Almost never. You can feel your way through the dark stretches, and the cave HM that actually earns a party slot is Rock Smash, not Flash. Flash only matters for a couple of black rooms late in Victory Road, so don't waste an early move slot on it.
Yes, more than Flash is. Smashing the cracked rocks in Granite Cave turns up a Nosepass you won't meet any other way, and the ones in Victory Road hide Geodude and Graveler. Keep one party member who knows it so you're not backtracking when a breakable rock shows up.
