Originally, Ethan had intended to visit the earlier towns after his night at the Kimono Dance Theater in Ecruteak. However, the wintry stormy weather made him an indoor person to stay warm. He set forth in the road and made it to the next grand city, Olivine City. Coming from a medium town from Ecruteak to Olivine City was a huge difference. He could feel the chilly sea breeze not long after he arrived. Although, the city was still surprisingly foggy due to the temperature difference between the sea and the land. Once he checked out a room in Pokemon Center, he made some quick changes to his Pokemon in preparation for the next gym battle.
He heard from fellow trainers in the Pokemon Center talking about this gym being tougher than other ones, but he figured he could give it a try. Worse case, he lose and he would have to come back again. However, he believed in his Pokemon's ability to handle a much more challenging gym leader. He also took some time to teach his Pokemon some new tricks in the courtyard.
He stepped inside the Olivine City gym, without much expectation this time as he knew the gym challenges would get tougher. Once he registered with the receptionist, he waited for his turn.

Ethan was the only trainer sitting there waiting for a turn against the gym leader, which was either a very fortunate thing or a very intimidating. Since Ethan was already well aware of the reputation of the town's leader, it would be interesting how he would go about approaching and dealing with this battle. The sounds of battle could be heard from somewhere deeper in the gym complex and after a while the doors opened a trainer staggered out, looking like he had just been through literal hell. When he passed Ethan, the traumatized trainer stopped and looked at him. "She's really good. Hope you're ready," was all he said before he ambled on his way, likely headed for the Pokemon Center. "You can go in now," the lady at the front desk called out, the door now open and inviting Ethan further in. Upon going through the doors, he would find himself at a regulation sized battle field. A lone figure stood in the middle of the arena, waiting patiently because she had been informed she had another trainer. "Welcome trainer! I am Jasmine, leader of the Olivine City Gym. I hope you have come prepared, don't let my looks deceive you. I am quite strong," she said with a giggle, before she turned and returned to the leader's box on the opposite side of the field. When she was in position, a referee stepped up to the field, looking between the trainers. "This is an official league match! Ethan versus Jasmine. Please select your first Pokemon!" Jasmine wasted no time and wound up, before pitching one of her poke balls up into the air. When the capsule opened, her first Pokemon appeared. Electricity crackled around the body of the Magneton, who gently bobbed in the air as both it and Jasmine waited to see what Pokemon Ethan would select. ![](https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/4/44/Spr_HGSS_Jasmine.png) ![](http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen4/hgss/082.png) Level 42 Magneton Jasmine accepts your challenge.

Unlike the gyms in earlier parts of Johto, Olivine City Gym was eerily quiet. He wasn't sure if this was a really slow day, or trainers were just having a difficult time facing this infamous gym leader, or this city was really far out from anyone to travel up to this point. When the previous trainer who had just finished walked out and gave him an encouraging comment, Ethan rolled his eyes side ways to maintain his gaze at the departing trainer. He, too, was hoping he was ready for this gym.
Once the receptionist had given him a go, the young trainer walked into the arena to face this fearsome gym leader. Jasmine introduced herself and then let out her first Pokemon, a Magneton. "Hello Jasmine, I am Ethan. I wasn't worry about your looks deceiving me, when you already have a tough reputation!" He introduced himself back in response, light-heartedly joked about the infamously tough-to-beat reputation that Jasmine might have.
While he could be using his ideal Pokemon to take out this Magneton, he decided to use a Pokemon, and hopefully not two, to attempt ot best this mechanical opponent. He grabbed a Pokeball and readied himself to hurl at it at the opponent. "Come on out, House! Use Fake Out and then Snarl!"
The capture device revealed itself to contain a fearless cat. Knowing how Fake Out works, Ethan figured to just buy himself a turn, even if that attack might barely do anything to the opponent. This wasn't exactly a stall or anything either, it was just... a move to cause maybe frustration at the opponent.

It was a rather quiet day in the Olivine Gym, all things considered. Jasmine was among the few Leaders in Johto who preferred to keep the number of Gym Trainers working under her at a minimum, giving the facility a homier feel than some of the other Gyms likely had to them. However, it also meant that the Gym possessed a slightly dreary or lonely feel to it at times. It all felt more than a little out of place, especially given how young and cutesy the Gym Leader was often perceived as being. "People hear about Olivine and the Steel type, and expect some big surly sailor or hiker or something. But the ones who underestimate me are usually the ones who get sent home in tears," Jasmine said coyly, smiling despite herself. She wasn't someone who relished in the idea of crushing her opponents' dreams like some Gym Leaders might have, but there was still a certain joy to be had in subverting people's expectations. Especially when the saw metal monstrosities that she had brought into her team. "Magneton, show them your Discharge!" she called out, but before the magnet bundle could let loose the electric charge it had been building up, House swooped in. The large tomcat swung one paw at it, but pulled away at the last second, causing the magnets to flinch just before the cat struck at it with its offhand paw. Magneton flittered back, blinking rapidly as it regained its bearings. Of course, House did not miss its chance to let out a fearsome snarling noise, sending out purplish shockwaves through the air that made the magnets tremble for a moment. But finally, Magneton released the electric charge that it had been building up since entering the battle, loosing out blue lightning that struck the Persian head-on. When the lightning cleared, Persian remained standing, though singed in a few places. "You've clearly got a few neat tricks, but you're going to have do a bit better than that to get through my team's defenses," Jasmine smiled fondly. She had seen many try and fail to get through her teams' iron defenses in the past; Ethan was doing well for having a slight type disadvantage, but she was curious to see if that would continue. "The Steel type isn't as new as it used to be, but people still struggle to get through the iron wall of my team."Gym Battle: VS Jasmine Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Magneton LV 42 HP 71% [76/107]

Ethan mentally scratched his head at Jasmine's explanation. "Wouldn't 'olive' be the first thing people thought of when they see the word Olivine? I would think this would be a grass type gym instead of steel type! As for hiker, there's like no mountains or cave or trails around here?" He asked, curiously. "I must have a whole different expectation when I hear the same words other people hear. Well, you probably meet more trainers wanting to battle you in Olivine than I do, since I just got here."
Ethan watched as the first rounds of battle continued. An electric move from the Magneton, which was quite very much expected. After a quick Fake Out and a mean snarl from the cat, the opponent was really determined to use that Discharge, and the Magneton easily let loose a surge of electricity that crackled loudly to give House an electrifying level of pain.
"Thank you for acknowledging my Pokemon's tricks. I tried my best to give opponent surprises from my own Pokemon. What about you? Falkner had his Roost and sand attack, Bugsy had his Scyther using U-turn. Whitney... was her trying to act cute her trick?" He paused, trying to remember what even was Whitney's most memorable moment. Maybe putting his Baltoy to sleep and failed? "And Morty I had an easy time with him, so his Gengar just used Curse before I knocked it out." He asked as he tried to jog his memory. He wondered how long he had been since he fought some of these gym leaders. Did Bugsy grew taller? Did Whitney found a new cute and girly style? He wouldn't know right now.
"Well, I hope I do better than those other people you have seen struggle." Ethan tried to sound humble, even though he intentionally wasn't using his stronger Pokemon on this Magneton yet. "House, continue with another Snarl!" The feline growled menacingly until her voice became as annoying as it sounded before.

Jasmine laughed. It was the first time she had someone express the relationship of Olivine to something as innocuous as ordinary olives. Perhaps, her opponent wasn’t as well versed on their minerals and was simply unaware of the rock-like structure known as an olivine? “I’ll admit, even when I’ve met a trainer who didn’t know that I specialized in Steel Types, they rarely confused me for a grass type trainer. Perhaps a Rock or Ground type, given that olivine is a rock-forming mineral often used for the gemstone peridot. It does get its name from it’s olive-green coloration, though, I’ll give you that.” She added with a wink. House’s neat tricks would need to remain steadfast and sure, to help them win this match. She narrowed her eyes on the limber-looking cream colored feline and hummed softly to herself, weighing her options. Jasmine’s intuition was to keep up the assault for the moment, though she could easily reset all of House’s hard earned efforts with a quick sounding, Jasmine thought to hold off for the moment as it hadn’t yet felt warranted. “Magneton, keep up with your Discharge, ok? You’re doing great.” Back to her new compatriot, she added, “I prefer to keep my belt of trainer counts low. Only those who were worthy enough to face the previous GYM Leaders, such as yourself, have made it this far. It is not typically an ‘easy’ feat.” She wrinkled her nose up at Ethan’s expression of his match with Morty and huffed softly underneath her breath as though she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. House snarled loudly, causing Magneton to groan in pain from the sound’s vibration. Jasmine frowned quietly watching her Pokemon struggle in that moment. Although it was just part of the job, it never hurt her any less to see her Pokemon suffering, no matter how small the attack. “Are you hanging in there alright, Magneton?” The three large magnets roared a strange, metallic sound, insisting that they were ok, and turned to face their opponent. “If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get to see my Pokemon’s signature move for yourself later on.” Jasmine smirked, not giving away her secrets quite so easily. Strange, though, hadn’t Ethan already heard the rumors of her Steelix’s tail through the grape vine? "You're the first to call Morty's challenge easy, I'll admit. What was your strategy with him?" She asked Ethan curiously. Gym Battle: VS Jasmine Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Magneton LV 42 HP 50% [53/107]

Ethan listened to Jasmine's explanation about the city's original name. He had learned something new today. "Ooh, so that's what the word Olivine means. This city don't grow olives back the days I guess?" Ethan asked once again on the history of the city, not that he would remember it for the rest of his life, probably not. "It's okay if you don't know though, I don't think I should be asking a gym leader for a tour guide or local history." He chuckled.
He watched as the battle went on, and his normal type was looking worn out. Although he would pretty much like to reserve his stronger Pokemon for the latter part of the matches, he would have to hope luck would be on his side, or use his Pokemon that normal trainers wouldn't send against a steel type. The Magneton's Discharge was powerfully strong even though it was weakened twice by the Persian's Snarl already. He was pretty sure one more hit would be the end of his Persian and then he would have to use his second Pokemon.
"My strategy for Morty? A mix of using speed and priority moves." He replied simply. "House used to know the move Feint Attack, but we've moved on from that now." He smiled, dropping a faint hint. "Sure, his Pokemon were considered fast on their own, but we'll just have to be a little bit faster." He replied, although he knew that this Magneton was both faster and hit harder than his previous challenge.
"You're doing great, House! We'll give it our best shot! This time, use Water Pulse!" He called out, cupping his mouth with his hands, as if to amplify the sound. Using a water type move on a steel and electric type would be an uncommon strategy, but Ethan was really trying out his luck here with his next move.

"I am fairly certain it is indeed about the mineral and not a secret history in olive growing," Jasmine said with a slight smile and soft laugh. Her expression became curious as he detailed how he defeated Morty. "I see. Out speeding him him and hitting for super effective damage with a normal type that naturally is immune to ghost type moves. A well thought out strategy indeed. So it puzzles me perhaps a little that you brought that same pokemon here. Normal types like persian are not known for their strength against steel types." Jasmine was also certain she would take down this feline in one more hit. Magneton's discharge was strong and even nerfed by a few snarls would topple that persian given it looked fairly weak. But to her surprise, he called out water pulse. Well, that was a benefit to normal types. Wide coverage that meant you never quite knew what to expect out of them next. Not a super effective move but it would hit neutrally for decent-ish damage. Not enough by far to knock out her pokemon. She was proven right when the pulse hit her pokemon and it only floated back about a foot. "Magneton, finish this up with a discharge!" However...when it sparked up, the magnet pokemon did something very odd. And electrocuted itself instead. She inhaled sharply, "...Confusion..."

Ethan listened to Jasmine's comprehension of his previous gym's strategy, and replied casually with a "Yep!" at her response. Since his other two victors were Raticate and Shedinja, he didn't feel the need to bring them up. Not to mention, he didn't bring his Shedinja along, and he didn't see the need to call out his Raticate yet for this battle.
After the water pulse had hit, he held his grip tightly as he waited to see what the tide of this battle would be, since he was gambling on something to happen. He watched nervously and attentively as the Magneton listened to its command to charge up a Discharge. Then, the moment of truth revealed itself as the opponent haphazardly electrified itself, leaving Jasmine at loss of words, for now.
There it was.
As crazy as a strategy of waiting for Water Pulse to make the opponent confused to help you win an already tight-roped battle as it was, it worked! He loosened his fist as he relaxed a bit.
"We're almost there, House! Go for another Water Pulse!" He shouted his next move, his eyes glimmered with hope that he at least have one opponent down on his end of this gym battle.

Jasmine studied Ethan curiously, he was not like most trainers who came to challenge her, teams full of fire and fighting who got sent down to the count by her pokemon. He was as a smeargle, you newer knew what he would do next which made him very unpredictably, of course luck had been with him that round, but would that last? With House being the fastest on top of Magneton floating around aimlessly, at the moment with its faces turned towards the ceiling and swirling around itself wildly, clearly having lost all sense of direction, the outcome of this round was pretty clear. The Water Pulse shot the living magnet out of the air and it spiraled down to the ground. "Magneton is unable to battle!" The referee declared loudly and Jasmine calmly recalled her fainted pokemon. "You keep surprising, but luck also played a part, how long will that last?" Jasmine asked gently as she switched pokeballs and held the next one out in front of her. "Go Skarmory, Time to take the stage!" She called out and the big steel bird spread its wings to soar above, letting out an ear-piercing screech. Jasmine looked unfazed by it, the referee clearly winced but did their best to act like nothing. "So a trainer who alters their pokemon's moves to fit the challenge ahead, I like it. You are well prepared, how are you handling unexpected situations which you cannot prepare for though?" Jasmine asked with a little smile, as she waited to see what Ethan's next move would be. House probably wouldn't stay out with how battered and tired she was looking, but who knows? It seemed like with Ethan you'd never know. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/persian.png) House did the impossible and won against all odds! She gains (50*42*1,5) 3150 exp!

forget pound for acid spray for fun, self update Charizard use flamethrower With the Magneton down, Ethan exhaled in relief as this Pokemon was quite a tough one, but his Persian pull through. Ethan gave his cat Pokemon a celebratory head rub before returning his Pokemon. "Good job, House, have a great rest!"With his normal type Pokemon returned, his opponent had not sent out a flying and steel type Pokemon that was much larger than the Magneton he had just faced. This one looked more... lively than the dull looking Magneton with emotionless face, if you could call a Magneton's three eyes a "face", that is. The tough and sturdy let out a cry, and that confirmed to Ethan about this Skarmory's organic toughness. "Heh, you are correct that luck played a part on winning against your Magneton." Ethan smiled warmly, from the tenseness of the battle. "For this one, I don't think I would need luck. "I wasn't intentional on switching moves for my Pokemon, but I figured since Meowth and Persian already learn some dark type moves, they might as well have a use on Morty."He wasn't going to use luck this time, as he had the perfect Pokemon to counter this Skarmory. "Dynner, come on out! Use Flamethrower!" He sent out his fully evolved fire starter Pokemon. This was now a battle in the sky. Both Skarmory and Charizard had similar stature, or they were basically the same size, height wise. He shouldn't be comparing his current, on-going battle against Jasmine, with his battle against Falkner. The gust of wind he felt when Dynner flew up did remind him that breeze from that battle. He briefly wondered if Falkner would like a Skarmory too. "There are situations that I would consider I haven't prepared before, like the 'Raid Bosses' they called it in the Paldean Festival, but aren't most gym leaders basically the same? You fight, you win, you get a badge. You lose, you come back another time." He replied, wondering if Jasmine was talking about her Skarmory being the "unexpected situations".

Though Jasmine was quite impressed by Ethan's resourceful use of moves she could not blame him for his next Pokemon choice as Charizard had a type advantage against Steel types. Not only that but they were pretty powerful Fire type Pokemon and Jasmine had come to respect them after battling several over the years. " Now there is a familiar face, you are not the first to use a CHarizard against me nor do I believe you will be the last however do not think type advantage alone will be enough to win." Her Skarmory then extended it's wings as far as they would go having no doubt in it's mind a tough fight was about to begin. Though Skarmory were faster than they looked they could not out pace a Charizard under most circumstances and Jasmine instead hoped letting Charizard get close would give Skarmory a chance to deliver a strong blow to make up for it's type disadvantage. " Skarmory use your Drill Peck once that Charizard gets close and hit it as hard as you can." Skarmory obeyed it's orders without question as it waited for Charizard to get within range to use Flmaethrower, the incoming flames did a massive amount of damage but Skarmory was just tough enough to endure the hit before using it's beak as a drill scoring a direct hit on Dynner's stomach. The attack caused decent damage but far less than Jasmine had hoped and with no way for Skarmory to outrun Charizard there was little hope that her avian Pokemon would last another round. " So it seems this Charizard is stronger than I had anticipated, this might be harder than I imagined but we are not finished yet." As she tried to hide the worry she had about the well being of her Skarmory Ethan had clearly gain the upper hand in this battle and unless a cruel twist of fate swept the rug under his feet it was his battle to lose.

"Heh, I am not surprised that you're not surprised to see a Charizard," Ethan replied, chuckling. He then watched their Pokemon took to the sky. Although, he was quite puzzled what did she mean by her statement, because he definitely was hoping type advantage to be the source of victory for him against this sharp looking Skarmory. His fire type readily launched a flamethrower at the well-trained Skarmory, nearly knocking it out as the opponent struggled for a loud caw before flying toward Dynner with a Drill Peck in retaliation.
"Thank you, I've been with Dynner since the beginning. We'll just take down as many Pokemon as you have! It's not like you can have more than six Pokemon anyways, right?" He jested casually once again. "Since this isn't the first Charizard you battled, then no hard feelings. Dynner, another Flamethrower!" He gave his next order immediately without much of a pause.
The fire type rose to the sky again, chasing after the Skarmory until he felt it was close enough range. Then, he would open his mouth wide for another flamethrower at the opponent. He was making good progress so far in this gym challenge, but it certainly felt a little harder.

As soon as Dynner started to make his move Jasmine knew there was no way to protect her Skarmory without wasting the ability of her final Pokemon. Skarmory had done decent damage to Dynner and though it was not enough to knock the Charizard out she hoped it would be enough for her final Pokemon to handle. As she watched the Flamethrower engulf Skarmory the iron bird Pokemon fell to the ground knocked out from the blistering flames. She then recalled the unfortunate avian before reaching into her hair to grab the Pokemon she kept hidden there when all else failed. " You have done quite well to make it this far, it is not too often I have to call on my final Pokemon to win a battle but I shall not hold back. It is time for my ace to take the field. Steelix I need your assistance please." Seconds later the large iron snake Pokemon appeared in front of her stretching out to make itself look as big as possible. The giant Pokemon barely fit in the gym and the mere sight of such an impressive Pokemon would cause most trainers to doubt their skills. Once Steelix was set Jasmine spoke again ready for her last chance to turn this battle around. " Our challenger is quite tough so we need to be careful Steelix, that Charizard is no joke and might even give you a hard time. We must do our best regardless of the challenge and as the Olivine Gym leader I will not give up as bad as things look. If you do manage to defeat my Steelix however I will have no choice but to give you one of my Mineral Badges as proof of your skills." As she stood next to her impressive Pokemon she waited to see what Ethan's next move would be.

resist wing reminder no scary face
Sending out his Charizard against the Skarmory was a great strategy that had helped him, Ethan thought gleefully as as the fire type's final attack took out the Skarmory. Now, he was one step closer to the next badge as Jasmine sent out her final Pokemon, the towering Steelix. He thanked his opponent with a smile on his face as he had already defeated two Pokemon so far. "Really? Your Magneton is that strong? Other trainers don't usually get past your Magneton?" He asked curiously with a bit of flattery.
Despite the warning Jasmine had given her Steelix, Ethan wasn't going to use Dynner for this one, maybe if his next candidate had failed. He held out a Pokeball as he prepared to swap. "You did really great, Dynner! Have some rest!" And as normal, he tossed out another Pokeball. He had a whole different strategy in mind for this Steelix, but once again there was some risk involved.
"Disco, it's been a while since you've battled in a gym! Your turn!" He sent out his emotionless Claydol, who was no match in size against the Steelix. Disco had been a consistent participant in his gym matches, except for the Ecruteak one. It would be quite dumb to send a slow Baltoy against those speedy spectral ghost Pokemon. Once his ground type was settled into the battle field, he called out his next move. "Disco, start off with an Earth Power!"
"Hello." Disco greeted neutrally before using its mind to shake the earth.
