===Pokémon Adventures===
========
The Aqua Hideout first appeared in Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt! I, where Archie congratulated s Shelly, Matt, and on their successful theft of the heart component of the Submarine Explorer 1 from Mr. Stone and promoted them into as a reward for their good work, though not without also making it clear that he did not approve of them having left witnesses alive.
In Always Keep Whiscash on You for Emergencies, Maxie and Tabitha were allowed inside the Hideout to join their resources with Team Aqua for the time being so that they could reach the Seafloor Cavern safely by combining the heart component Team Aqua had stolen with the submarine stolen by Team Magma. Many Grunts from both teams were also taken as backup.
In The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV, Wattson, Winona, and Flannery searched through the abandoned Hideout and freed Professor Cozmo, whom Team Aqua had captured earlier.
========
The Hideout reappeared in Gorebyss Changes Color and Beedrill Prepares, when Blaise and Amber met each other there, discussing about the resurfacing of the Red and Blue Orbs, as well as the suspected return of their respective leaders.

==Trivia==
* Because the entrance is sealed after defeating Tate and Liza in Sapphire, if the player does not obtain the Master Ball here before that, they cannot get the Master Ball without winning the Lilycove Department Store Pokémon Lottery Corner or trading one in. This does not happen in Emerald or Alpha Sapphire.
* In Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, a photo found in Shelly's room will yield the following text when interacted with:
: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 . The date described can possibly be the 7th of July, the date of , the Japanese star festival which Jirachi is commonly associated with, while the year is likely 2002, the year when 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 Ruby and Sapphire being released outside of Japan in 2003.
