Beacon's Plight

When you approach the Gym, Silver is just leaving. He informs you that the Gym Leader is away at the lighthouse, taking care of a Pokémon that has fallen ill. He walks away, wondering aloud why she would do such a thing, as he firmly believes that any Pokémon unable to battle is worthless.

Fishing Guru 2

Visit the first house to the south of the Gym and speak to the Fisherman inside to receive a Good Rod. This mid-level fishing rod can reel in a greater variety of water-dwelling Pokémon than the Old Rod.

Time for a Trade

There are two houses standing side-by-side in the northeast part of town. Visit the western house to find a man who would like to trade Pokémon. He is willing to part with his Voltorb in exchange for a Krabby. Krabby can be found in Olivine City and on Route 40 to the west, and is an easy catch with a Good Rod.

Olivine Café

The Olivine Café is located to the west of the Pokémon Center. Speak to the Sailor inside to receive HM04 (Strength). This field move lets a compatible Pokémon move large boulders with ease.

Olivine Lighthouse

Olivine Lighthouse, Beacon Room

The Olivine Lighthouse is located in the southeast part of the city. A certain Pokémon usually serves as the lighthouse beacon to safely guide ships into the harbor, but has recently fallen ill.
