 and Max visited the Oceanic Museum in 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 pieces, with Team Magma escaping with the larger portion. Captain Stern was left with the smaller fragment, though it was still sufficient enough for his research.

==Trivia==
* The museum's theme is a remix of the song heard on the S.S. Anne.
* The museum can be entered free of charge before Team Magma or Team Aqua leave, if the player lacks the 50 fee. This will prompt the receptionist to believe that the player is part of either Team Magma or Team Aqua.
* In Pokémon X and Y, a staying on the second floor of Hotel Richissime in Lumiose City mentions that her first date with her husband was at the Oceanic Museum.
* In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the upper floor of the museum has water samples from both Kanto and Johto.
** This was changed in Emerald; instead, they are labeled Water Quality Sample 1 and Water Quality Sample 2.
** This reference returns in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, with additional water samples from Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos added.
