Olivine City

File:Olivine.png
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 the Fishing Guru inside to get the Good Rod. With this, you will finally be able to fish for Pokémon other than Magikarp.

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

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 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 guardhouse 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.
