'''Olivine City''' (Japanese: '''アサギシティ''' ''Asagi City'') is located on the [[Johto]] coast, near [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]]. Olivine is a major port city and is the home of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. The Glitter Lighthouse guide ships to the harbor as well as the [[S.S. Aqua]] connecting it to the port city in its sister region, [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Olivine City in order to win the {{Badge|Mineral}} from [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Glitter Lighthouse===

{{main|Glitter Lighthouse}}

[[File:HGSS Olivine Lighthouse.png|thumb|left|Glitter Lighthouse's beacon at night]]

Olivine is home to the [[Glitter Lighthouse]], illuminated by an {{p|Ampharos}}, aptly named [[Amphy]]. It is here that [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]], is first be encountered. [[Amphy]] is an {{p|Ampharos}} who serves as a beacon for the lighthouse. Recently, Amphy has become ill, and Jasmine, nurturing Amphy to health, will not leave for any reason. She asks the player if to {{m|Surf|travel across the sea}} to [[Cianwood City]] to get a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]], then bring it back to her.  

In Generation II, while there are no Trainers other than Jasmine in [[Olivine Gym]], the lighthouse poses a challenge which provides more than enough of a counterbalance to it, as there are many Trainers on each of its floors.  

In [[Generation IV]], {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom. Due to the addition of an elevator, the Lighthouse was redesigned so that the ground floor was a tourist deck, and no Trainer can be found training until the upper floors are reached.

Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine Port has a ferry to [[Vermilion City]], the [[S.S. Aqua]], only accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and getting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|S.S. Ticket}} from [[Professor Elm]]. The player can only ride it from Olivine City to [[Vermilion City]] on Mondays and Fridays due to the staff resting up.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua sails from Kanto to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and sails from Johto to Kanto each Monday and Friday. Trainers can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled, but only once.

Olivine Café is a restaurant west of the Pokémon Center. It is known to be a place for [[Sailor]]s to stop after a long trip on the sea to rest and eat. Olivine Café prides itself on its generous-sized menu that is "chock-full of hearty fare for beefy Sailors". The Café consists of a bar with many stools around it and a circular table surrounded by seats. Many people there are happily eating their food; one nearly chokes because he hadn't chewed before he swallowed. A sailor who eats there gives away {{HM|04|Strength}} in [[Generation II]]; however, in [[Generation IV]], the sailor will suggest to go to [[Mt. Mortar]] to find [[Hiker]]s with an extra [[HM04]] instead.

Once the player has obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Seal Case}} in [[Generation IV]], a young girl in the north-easternmost house of Olivine will give the player three random [[Seals]] once per day when one talks to her. There is also a Trainer in Olivine Pokémon Center that shows off her [[Ball Capsule]] with Seals.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Olivine City's population is 47, a it is large size for a port city. Since Olivine is a port city, many {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Fisherman}} stay here or even dwell in the city. The northern district is mainly an urban area, which dwells families and other people. Meanwhile the southern district is host to many seaside tourist attractions, like the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the Olivine Café.

[[File:Olivine beta house.png|thumb|right|"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."]]

* A remix of this town's music, which it shares with [[Violet City]], can be heard on [[Six Island (town)|Six]] and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}s.

* The layout of the city is very similar to [[Sunyshore City]] with exits to the north and west of the city, two houses in the northeastern corner, a gym in the northwestern corner, and a lighthouse in the southeastern corner where the city's [[Gym Leader]] can first be found. [[TM57]] is also available in both. This might also explain why [[Jasmine]] is found visiting [[Sunyshore City]].

* There is programming in the game for a house in Olivine City that was [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|not used in the final game]]. Inside, a woman mentions a pharmacy in [[Ecruteak City]], not [[Cianwood City]]. This suggests that either the pharmacy could have been originally planned for Ecruteak City, or that Cianwood City may have been added to the game at the last minute.

* Its Generation II motto was "The Port Closest to Foreign Lands".
