Gen II
Olivine City in Gold and Silver

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 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.

Pokémon Trainers often come to Olivine City in order to win the Mineral Badge from Jasmine, the Olivine Gym Leader who specializes in Steel-type Pokémon.

Slogan

Generation II

The Port Closest to Foreign Lands (Japanese: 「とおく はなれた いこくに もっとも ちかい みなとまち」 The port town closest to distant foreign lands.)

Generation IV

The Port with Sea Breezes (Japanese: 「しおかぜ かおる みなとまち」 The port town with the scent of sea breezes.)

Places of interest

Glitter Lighthouse

Main article: Glitter Lighthouse
Glitter Lighthouse's beacon at night

Olivine is home to the Glitter Lighthouse, illuminated by an Ampharos, aptly named Amphy. It is here that Jasmine, the Olivine Gym Leader, is first encountered. Amphy is an 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 travel across the sea to Cianwood City to get a 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 HeartGold and SoulSilver, Gentleman Preston and 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 Gym

Main article: Olivine Gym

The Olivine Gym is the city's official Gym. It is based on Steel-type Pokémon. The Gym Leader is Jasmine. Trainers who defeat her receive the Mineral Badge and TM23 (Iron Tail).

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 SecretPotion to heal the sick Pokémon.

Unlike other Gyms, there are no Trainer battles before the Leader in this Gym. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, two Trainers, Gentleman Preston and 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 trade the player a Steelix after they've exchanged Pokégear numbers with her.

Olivine Port

Main article: S.S. Aqua
S.S. Aqua pulling out of Olivine Port

Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine Port (Japanese: アサギみなと Asagi Port) has a ferry to Vermilion City, the S.S. Aqua, only accessible after entering the Hall of Fame and getting the 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 repeatedly. In HeartGold and SoulSilver however, said trainers can only be battled once.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the ship implies that the S.S. Aqua travels to Sinnoh, as he mentions finding plates there. However, the ship does not appear in any of the games that take place in Sinnoh.

Olivine Café

Olivine Café (Japanese: 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 Sailors 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 HM04 (Strength) in Generation II; however, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the sailor at the bar will suggest going to Mt. Mortar to find Hikers 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...".

Seals

Once the player has obtained the Seal Case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, 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 inside the Pokémon Center that shows off her Ball Capsule with Seals.

In-game trade

A man in house northeast of Poké Mart will trade Voltorb for Krabby.

Battle Tower ad

In Crystal, a signpost advertises the Battle Tower. It reads BATTLE TOWER AHEAD Opening Now! (Japanese: 「このさき バトルタワー オープンちゅう!」). In the Japanese version, the 「オープンちゅう!」 part is omitted before the Mobile System GB is enabled because the Battle Tower is closed while it is disabled.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the signpost was moved next to the gate to Frontier Access on Route 40, and it now reads Battle Frontier Ahead (Japanese: 「このさき バトルフロンティア」).

Demographics

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, Olivine City's population is 27.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Olivine City's population is 46, a large size for a port city. Since Olivine is a port city, many Sailors and 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 the anime

Olivine City in the anime

Olivine City first appeared in Fight for the Light!, where Ash and his friends arrived there, with Ash going straight to the Gym. Team Rocket was also in the city and headed to the Gym as well, but they stumbled across the Battle Tower. Ash battled Janina, who claimed to be Jasmine, until the real Jasmine came in and interrupted the battle. Jasmine was tending her sick Ampharos, Sparkle, and was unwilling to accept Ash's challenge until it was cured. As such, Ash and his friends departed to Cianwood City with Janina to get medicine for it.

In 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 Shining Lighthouse.

In Nerves of Steelix!, Ash had his Gym battle with Jasmine and emerged victorious. He and his friends then decided to head to Mahogany Town for his next Gym battle.

Olivine City made a brief appearance in An Egg Scramble! in Lyra's presentation of the Johto region.

Olivine City in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Gold, Silver & Crystal arc

In Querulous Qwilfish, Crystal visited the Battle Tower construction site in Olivine City. A tank that was collecting waste from the construction cracked under pressure, spilling its contents into the sea nearby and contaminating the water. As a result, a Qwilfish attacked a worker and Crystal out of anger and to protect a baby Qwilfish that had become sick due to the pollution. After Crystal had managed to calm the situation down by catching Qwilfish, Suicune appeared and used its powers to purify the water and heal the baby Qwilfish.

In Do-Si-Do with Dodrio, Crystal returned to Olivine City per Professor Oak's request to meet Yellow. In the next chapter, they headed to the Whirl Islands together.

In Popular Pupitar, Silver was revealed to have first met Lance at the Battle Tower construction site.

HeartGold & SoulSilver arc

In Pleased as Punch With Parasect, Silver and Crystal's ship approached Olivine City.

Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys

Olivine City first appeared in A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos!!. Immediately after arriving there, Gold and Chris met Jasmine, who asked Gold to lend her his Croconaw, since the local lighthouse Pokémon, Ampharos, was seriously ill and could only be healed with a 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 Water-type Pokémon, but unfortunately, the only one they managed to find was a Gyarados belonging to Gold's rival, Black, who only agreed to let him borrow it if he beat him in a 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 Steelix. Although Black left Gyarados behind after seeing it lose, it was in no condition to help Gold in his task.

In Let's Survive This Sea Battle, the people of Olivine City constructed a wooden raft that could be used to cross the sea by having it be pulled by Chris's group of Magikarp. However, since the raft could only carry two people, Jasmine had to stay behind as Gold and Chris headed to Cianwood City.

In Let's Fight For The Future!!, the citizens of Olivine City, grateful of the medicine Gold had sent to heal Ampharos, arrived to Cianwood City to help confront the monster known as the Black Tyranitar. Their presence provided a big help in allowing Gold to seal the monster inside his Level Ball.

Olivine City in Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Pokémon Pocket Monsters

Olivine City appeared in Light Up the Lighthouse!!, where Red and his Pokémon arrived there. After finding out that that Jasmine's Ampharos had caught a fever, they fetched a bottle of Secret Potion from Cianwood City, only for Clefairy to lose all but one of the pills inside the bottle on the return trip. When Clefairy tried to feed the pill to Ampharos, he ended up tripping and swallowing the pill himself, which caused him to start glowing. Using this light, Clefairy was able to guide a ship to safety, although this resulted in the ship hitting him. Ampharos found this amusing, making it feel better.

Trivia

"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."
