Olivine City: Difference between revisions

'''Olivine City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|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 guides 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]].

===Glitter Lighthouse===

{{main|Glitter Lighthouse}}

[[File:Glitter Lighthouse HGSS.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 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}} to {{m|Surf|travel across the sea}} to [[Cianwood City]] to get a [[Secret Medicine|special medicine]], then bring it back to her.

In [[Generation II]], while there are no {{pkmn|Trainer}}s 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 {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{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.

When the player first reaches the city and approaches the [[Gym]], the [[rival]] is seen exiting the Gym. He informs the player that [[Jasmine]] is not in the Gym and is instead tending to a sick Pokémon in [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. Jasmine will not return until the Pokémon is well again, requiring the player to bring her a [[Secret Medicine|SecretPotion]] to heal the sick Pokémon.

Unlike other Gyms, there are no Trainer battles before the Leader in this Gym. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, two Trainers, {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie, are in the Gym, but they defer to battle, as they have already faced the player in the Lighthouse.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Jasmine will offer to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player a {{p|Steelix}} after they've earned all 16 [[Badge]]s.

[[File:SS Aqua HGSS.png‎|thumb|[[S.S. Aqua]] pulling out of Olivine Port]]

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. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled repeatedly. In HeartGold and SoulSilver however, said trainers can only be battled once.

'''Olivine Café''' (Japanese: '''{{j|アサギしょくどう}}''' ''Asagi Café''), spelled '''Olivine Cafe''' in [[Generation II]], is a restaurant west of the [[Pokémon Center]]. It is known to be a place for {{tc|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 square 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 {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the sailor at the bar will suggest going to [[Mt. Mortar]] to find {{tc|Hiker}}s with an extra [[HM04]] instead, saying "Have you ever noticed that in the mountains, sometimes there are round boulders right in your way...? You can move them with the hidden move Strength! Hikers at Mt. Mortar sometimes have extra, or so I've heard...".

A man in house northeast of Poké Mart will trade {{p|Voltorb}} for {{p|Krabby}}.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Olivine City's population is 46, a 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.

In ''[[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]]'', Ash and his friends returned to Olivine City aboard [[Wings Alexander]]'s airplane after missing the ferry from [[Transit Town]], guided to their destination by the restored [[Glitter Lighthouse|Shining Lighthouse]].

In ''[[PS140|Do-Si-Do with Dodrio]]'', Crystal returned to Olivine City per {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s request to meet {{adv|Yellow}}. In [[PS141|the next round]], they headed to the [[Whirl Islands]] together.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====

Olivine City first appeared in ''[[GB17|A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos!!]]''. Immediately after arriving there, {{GnB|Gold}} and {{GnB|Chris}} met [[Jasmine]], who asked Gold to lend her his {{TP|Gold|Croconaw}}, since the local lighthouse Pokémon, [[Amphy|Ampharos]], was seriously ill and could only be healed with a [[Secret Medicine|medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]] beyond the sea. However, Croconaw was too small to carry a person on its back, so they started looking for a bigger {{type|Water}} Pokémon, but unfortunately, the only one they managed to find was a {{p|Gyarados}} belonging to Gold's [[rival]], {{GnB|Black}}, who only agreed to let him borrow it if he beat him in a {{pkmn|battle}}. To Gold's shock, Black used Gyarados as his first Pokémon in the battle, knowing that Gold wouldn't want to hurt it, since otherwise, it couldn't carry him across the sea. Angered by Black's underhanded tactic, Jasmine called him a coward and stepped in, defeating Gyarados with her {{TP|Jasmine|Steelix}}. Although Black left Gyarados behind after seeing it lose, it was in no condition to help Gold in his task.

* 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 [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse]] in the southeastern corner where the city's [[Gym Leader]] can first be found. Both cities are located on the shore's edge. {{TM|57|Charge Beam}} is also available in both. This might also explain why [[Jasmine]] is found visiting [[Sunyshore City]].
