==Blurb==
It's just like a dream, or so it seems. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally reached [[Olivine City]]! {{Ash}} is off to the [[Olivine Gym|Gym]] right away, and neither {{an|Brock}} or {{an|Misty}} are disagreeing. {{TRT}} spies on them using trash cans as a disguise, but [[Jessie]] is blinded by a gleaming light coming from a humongous building. Thinking that it is an office building, The three of them run towards the building in hopes of getting jobs and making lots of money. However, two guards block the entrance and ask for [[Badge]]s. James shows a collection book but the guards say [[Badge|Gym Badges]] are needed. Looks like they stumbled into the {{jo|Battle Tower}}!
<!--http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/04_51-fight-for-the-light/-->
<i>Our heroes reach Olivine City and make a beeline for the Gym, where Gym Leader Jasmine accepts Ash's challenge. Jasmine sends out a gleaming Onix that easily defeats Ash's Totodile, even though Onix should be vulnerable to Totodile's Water-type attacks. But then the real Jasmine enters the room—the "Jasmine" that Ash battled is really Janina, Jasmine's apprentice! And as Janina later reveals to Jasmine, she coated her Onix in waterproof wax, a misguided cheat that earns Janina a time-out from the Gym.


Ash reaches the Gym and enters it, hoping to just breeze though this {{pkmn|battle}}. When he approaches the {{pkmn|Trainer}} box, a girl comes out, claiming herself to be [[Jasmine]]. Ash seems to believe her and challenges "Jasmine" to a fight. "Jasmine" calls out an {{p|Onix}} which seems to be coated with something. On impulse, Ash calls out {{AP|Totodile}} to make short work of this. Ash commands Totodile to use {{m|Water Gun}} and Totodile does so. The attack is effective at first but somehow, the Onix breaks through and {{m|Tackle}}s Totodile down in one shot, knocking it out. Ash sends out {{AP|Pikachu}} and Pikachu does {{m|Quick Attack}} but someone stops them. It's the real Jasmine. She's fairly disappointed with her apprentice, [[Janina]], and calls her in. Janina explains to Jasmine that she used sealing wax on Onix, a lot of sealing wax, making Onix impervious to water. Jasmine isn't all too agreeable on that part and tells Janina to scrub it off.
Jasmine herself is too worried about "Sparkle" to deal with a Gym challenge. This leaves Ash to wander the city, wondering what to do next. He runs into Janina, who apologizes to him and says that Jasmine is at the Shining Lighthouse on the wharf; since Ash wants to ask Jasmine when she'll be ready for a battle, he heads there right away. Inside the lighthouse are Jasmine, her grandpa {{OBP|Myron|EP208}}, and Jasmine's Ampharos, Sparkle, who provides the light for the lighthouse. Sparkle isn't feeling well and Janina's still on a time-out, so it's up to Ash and the gang to pick up Sparkle's medicine from Cianwood City.


Ash challenges Jasmine but it seems that she has some other things to do, so it looks like Ash can't do much for a while.
Before they can leave, Team Rocket attacks the lighthouse, catching Sparkle and Brock in a cage. Janina sees the commotion and comes to the rescue; without the wax coating, Onix can't pursue Team Rocket across the water, but it can certainly snag the cage and halt Team Rocket's getaway. Janina climbs up Onix to free Brock and Ampharos, then orders Onix to send Team Rocket for a loop. Janina is now back in Jasmine's good graces, and she gladly accompanies our heroes to Cianwood City!</i>


Ash and the gang sit out in a park talking about what they should do now until then. However they spot Janina scrubbing her Onix in a sandbox. She explains to them what she did and how she got busted for it. She also explains that Jasmine has been up to something at the [[Glitter Lighthouse|Shining Lighthouse]], which is why she's busy all the time. Ash decides they should go check it out.
==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have finally reached [[Olivine City]], and he is off to the [[Olivine Gym|Gym]] right away, and neither {{an|Brock}} or {{an|Misty}} follow right behind. {{TRT}} spies on them using trash cans as a disguise, but [[Jessie]] is blinded by a gleaming light coming from a humongous building. Thinking that it is an office building, the three of them run towards the building in hopes of getting jobs and making lots of money. However, two guards block the entrance and ask for [[Badge]]s. James shows a collection book, but the guards say [[Badge|Gym Badges]] are needed. They have unknowingly stumbled onto the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|II}}.


They get to the lighthouse and look around, then start climbing up. Upon reaching the top, they find Jasmine, her [[Myron|Grandpa Myron]], and an {{p|Ampharos}} that seems to be ill. Grandpa Myron explains that this [[Amphy|Ampharos]] is the source of light for the lighthouse, after all, its tail creates quite a glow. The Shining Lighthouse used to be the main lighthouse, but another lighthouse took over. And then the rest seems self-explanatory. He says that he ordered a cure from someone at [[Cianwood City]] but neither he nor Jasmine has any time to get it. Ash tells them that he'll go get the medicine.

However, they aren't alone, Team Rocket is spying on them from the outside glass and setting their sights on the Ampharos. Jasmine spots them and then Ash.

Ash decides they should go check it out.


Meanwhile, Janina is walking along the port still a little depressed until she sees the smoke from the lighthouse. She goes over there seeing that Team Rocket has gotten Brock and Ampharos. She catches up with the others and she insists on helping, since she has a Pokémon capable of doing so. Janina gets on Onix and commences to attack, but Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} (which is curled on the cage) and Arbok uses {{m|Poison Sting}}. Onix deflects the pins, shielding Janina. Soon Team Rocket just zip out towards the ocean since Onix can't be in water. Onix gives chase but soon stops at the end of a pier. Then Janina gets a good idea. She hops off Onix and then Onix bites onto a tsunami barrier (the large concrete jacks). Then Onix swings his tail and latches onto Arbok, stretching it. Team Rocket tries to get away but Onix pulls harder than the balloon can get away (which puts Arbok in an even worse state). Soon Janina grabs a chipped off piece of rock and climbs up to the cage. She give the cage a few hits and the lock breaks open, freeing Brock. When they get down, Janina says Pikachu can use any electrical attack, Onix isn't going to be affected. Ash has Pikachu do {{m|Thunderbolt}} which gives Team Rocket a shock and then Onix tosses them out into the sky.

Jasmine is actually quite impressed with Janina and gives her another shot and asks of her a favor. Jasmine wants her to go get the medicine from Cianwood City. Then Ash says to Misty that he doesn't know what to do now and Grandpa Myron tells him that there is a [[Cianwood Gym|Gym]] in Cianwood. Ash nods and they, along with Janina, go onto the boat headed for Cianwood.
Team Rocket spys from the outside glass and set their sights on the Ampharos.

Plot

Ash and his friends have finally reached Olivine City, and he is off to the Gym right away, and neither Brock or Misty follow right behind. Team Rocket spies on them using trash cans as a disguise, but Jessie is blinded by a gleaming light coming from a humongous building. Thinking that it is an office building, the three of them run towards the building in hopes of getting jobs and making lots of money. However, two guards block the entrance and ask for Badges. James shows a collection book, but the guards say Gym Badges are needed. They have unknowingly stumbled onto the Battle Tower.

Ash reaches the Gym and enters it, hoping to just breeze though this battle. When he approaches the Trainer box, a girl comes out, claiming herself to be the leader, Jasmine. Ash seems to believe her and challenges "Jasmine" to a fight. "Jasmine" calls out an Onix which seems to be coated with something. On impulse, Ash calls out Totodile to make short work of this.
