Oceanic Museum

The museum is blocked by your version’s villain team until you trigger the shipyard step. Pay the entry fee, talk to Captain Stern upstairs, and defeat the two grunts who interrupt the delivery.

Ruby uses Team Magma. Sapphire uses Team Aqua. At this stage the difference is mostly flavor: expect Poochyena, Zubat, Numel for Magma routes, and Poochyena, Zubat, Carvanha for Aqua routes as the game goes on.

After Stern receives the Devon Goods, the northern exit toward Route 110 opens as your next main path.
