Olivine City

Olivine City

The port city of Olivine, sister city to Vermilion in Kanto, is a Trainer's next stop on the way to the Pokémon League.

When you first arrive in the city, your rival stops you near the Gym. He mentions something about the Gym Leader tending to a sick Pokémon in the lighthouse before running off.

Hook the Big One!

On your way into the city, stop by the first house past the Gym. Speak to the Fishing Guru inside to get the Good Rod.

Time for a Trade

North of the lighthouse are two small houses, and the man in the left house is looking to trade. If you have an extra Krabby, this guy will offer to trade you his Voltorb.

Super-Strength

Before heading off to the lighthouse, make sure to stop in the diner to the west of the Poké Center. Speaking to the sailor inside will get you HM04 (Strength), a powerful move that allows a Pokémon to shove large boulders around like toys.

Olivine Harbor

Lighthouse

After defeating the Pokémon League, you'll be able to board the S.S. Aqua. The ferry sails between Olivine and Vermilion City in Kanto. After the initial voyage to Kanto, the ferry sails to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and back to Kanto every Monday and Friday. Like the S.S. Anne, there are many Trainers on board that are looking to battle.

The Ailing Lighthouse Beacon

The Olivine Gym Leader is tending to the lighthouse beacon on the sixth floor, a sick Ampharos that would normally use its tail to illuminate the ocean.

Battle your way to the third floor, and take the stairs in the northeast. On the fourth floor, battle past Lass Connie and drop down the hole to the third floor below. You'll be ambushed by Sailor Terrell; defeat him, grab the Ether nearby, and take the stairs back to the fourth floor. Head up the next set of stairs to the fifth floor, and battle Sailor Ernest. Grab the Super Repel lying in the corner, and take the stairs to the sixth floor, where you will meet Jasmine.

Her Ampharos is very sick, and she cannot leave it unattended. She talks about a pharmacy across the ocean in Cianwood City that specializes in a form of unconventional medicine. Jasmine will not return to her post at the Gym until Amphy is better, so get ready for a swim. Teach a Pokémon HM03 (Surf) if you haven't already, and leave west from the city to reach Route 40.

Routes 40 & 41

Route 40

Route 40 is a small beach that leads off into the ocean. If you pass through the area on a Monday, you can speak to Monica to obtain a Sharp Beak, which enhances Template:Type2 attacks. The Battle Tower is also located here, just beyond a gate to the north.

Route 41 is a small area of the ocean that includes the Whirl Islands. The islands are initially inaccessible, since you haven't collected HM06 (Whirlpool) and the Silver Wing yet. Since these two routes are the only ocean territories in Johto, there are new Pokémon to find, such as Krabby, Staryu, and Corsola. Surf southwest through the islands to reach Cianwood City.


Whirl Islands

The Whirl Islands form a small island chain between the mainland and Cianwood City. Initially inaccessible, the islands are protected by a group of violent whirlpools that guard the four cave entrances.

Make a return trip to the islands after obtaining HM06 (Whirlpool) and the Silver Wing, which will allow you to thoroughly explore the islands' cave network. There are plenty of forgotten items strewn around the caves, but the only way to reach the deepest cavern under the islands, where an immense, silver-colored Pokémon is said to make its home, is by way of the northeastern island.

Route 41

Now that you've obtained HM06 (Whirlpool) and the Silver Wing, you can finally access every area of the cave network. Be sure to bring a team with the moves Surf, Strength, Flash, and Whirlpool.
It's a good idea to explore each island in order to find all items and wild Pokémon, but if you're only here for Lugia, make your way to the NE island.

Northwest Island

Step inside the cave, and take the stairs to the floor below.

From the stairs, walk south along the rock ledge and pick up the Carbos. Walk east onto the next rock ledge, and go down the stairs. Grab the Max Elixer and Full Restore, and head back to the first set of stairs. Head south and step off of the rock ledge, and grab another Full Restore nearby. Go east from here, and trek across the northern rock ledge to get a Nugget. Walk east, jumping over the two ledges, and go up the stairs. Pick up the Ultra Ball, and head back downstairs. Walk to the south, jump over the single ledge, and head south again, hopping over a second ledge. You can't use Strength on the boulder from this side, so grab the Escape Rope and continue south to the stairs.

This brings you to the SW island's entrance.

Northeast Island

Lugia

From the entrance, walk east and jump the ledge. Taking the southern path will lead to the NW/SW islands' tunnels, so instead take the northern path, and head down the stairs.

Walk along the rock ledge to the southwest, and take the stairs to the floor below. Pick up the Max Revive and surf to the south, riding down the huge waterfall. Enter the cave to the west, where you'll find Lugia. Save your game before attempting capture; there's only one Lugia, so don't risk anything. It is found at Level 60.

Taking the stairs south of Lugia's chamber will eventually lead you to the SW island's exit, but if you're done here, using an Escape Rope is easier.

Southeast Island

From the entrance, walk north along the trail to the stairs.

Head north along the rock ledge to find a Calcium. Walk south and down off of the ledge, and follow the path to the west. Moving the boulder will lead you to the main cave network. Take the stairs to the south.

Pick up the Guard Spec., surf to the west, and you'll see the exit to the SW island.

Southwest Island

(If you've followed this guide and explored the islands in the same order, you've probably obtained every item by now, so there isn't much to say here.)
