## Points of Interest

### Glitter Lighthouse

*Main article: Glitter Lighthouse*
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.

Gentleman Preston and Lass Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. 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 is Jasmine. Trainers who defeat her receive the Mineral Badge and TM - 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 Secret Potion to heal the sick Pokémon.

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.

Jasmine will offer to trade the player a Steelix after they've earned all 16 Badges.

### Olivine Port

*Main article: S.S. Aqua*
Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine 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 can only be battled once.

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 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 at the bar will suggest going to Mt. Mortar to find Hikers with an extra HM - Strength 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, 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.

### Trade: Krabby

A man in house northeast of Pokémon MART will trade Voltorb for Krabby.
