Olivine City Gold & Silver · Johto town
Olivine City is a port on Johto's west coast at the end of Route 39. Its Gym Leader, Jasmine, is first found at the top of the Olivine Lighthouse looking after a sick Ampharos, so you have to cross the sea to Cianwood City for medicine before she will battle. After the Hall of Fame, the S.S. Aqua sails from here to Vermilion City.
