Jasmine (Japanese: ミカン Mikan) is the Gym Leader of Olivine City's Gym, known officially as the Olivine Gym. Her specialty is Steel-type Pokémon, and she gives the Mineral Badge to Trainers who defeat her in battle. She also appears in Sinnoh to give Trainers HM07 (Waterfall) and to compete in Sinnoh's Super Contests.

In the games

Jasmine appears in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver as the Gym Leader of the Olivine Gym. Her title in these games is "The Steel-Clad Defense Girl." She also appears in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

Jasmine is a very shy girl and has trouble speaking. She is compassionate, and when the Ampharos in the Glitter Lighthouse (nicknamed Amphy) falls ill, Jasmine's worries makes her develop an inability to smile. Amphy and Jasmine appear to be close, as Amphy will only take the medicine the player brings from her.

Typically, Jasmine is the sixth Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region, although she is the fifth to be encountered. When she is first met, she will refuse to battle the player, as she is busy caring for Amphy. She requests that a special medicine be brought from the Cianwood City pharmacy. When it is retrieved, she uses it to heal the Ampharos and returns to the Gym afterwards. In battle, she uses the newly-discovered Steel-type Pokémon, but a Gentleman in the Lighthouse says she used to train Rock-type Pokémon such as Onix. Once defeated, she will yield the Mineral Badge and TM23 (Iron Tail).

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Jasmine can be fought multiple times in Saffron City's Fighting Dojo. She will use a stronger team here but will not appear until her Pokégear phone number has been obtained at the Olivine City diner. She goes there every afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and will afterwards travel to Kanto for battles on Wednesday afternoons. After defeating all of the Kanto Gym Leaders, visiting Jasmine at her Gym in Olivine will cause her to offer to make a trade with the player, although the player will need to talk to Jasmine a second time because she will be nervous about it. She offers a Steelix nicknamed Rusty (Japanese: ネール Neil) that holds a Soothe Bell. She will accept any Pokémon in exchange, being the first in-game trade where this is possible. Rusty isn't the same as her battling Steelix, as Rusty is male whereas the other is female.

Jasmine in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Jasmine is staying in Sunyshore City for a while, which she says reminds her of home with its lighthouse and its location on the sea. She also occasionally enters Super Contests with her Steelix, which is nicknamed Rusty. She gives the player HM07 (Waterfall) after defeating the eighth Gym Leader, Volkner. A conversation with Erika in HeartGold and SoulSilver places Jasmine's appearance in Sinnoh after the main plot of the Johto games.

In the anime

Jasmine in the Diamond & Pearl series.

Jasmine appeared in Fight for the Light!, Throwing in the Noctowl, Nerves of Steelix! and Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!.

In the anime, Jasmine runs the Glitter Lighthouse in Olivine City. She used her Ampharos to light the way over the shore, but when it became ill, she asked Ash to fetch it some medicine from Cianwood City. Ash and his friends retrieved the medicine and sent it back with one of Jasmine's young apprentices, Janina.

Much later, Ash and his friends returned from the Whirl Islands and Ash challenged Jasmine to a Gym battle. In the final portion of the battle, Ash used Cyndaquil and was able to defeat Jasmine's Steelix.

Jasmine's first appearance

She reappeared in Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port! in her HeartGold and SoulSilver outfit, where she was having a special training session with Kenny. She later asked Flint if she could battle him and he accepted. The battle resulted in his Infernape knocking out her Steelix.

In her first appearance, Jasmine was closer to her game persona; gentle and soft-spoken. However, in her second appearance, Jasmine was markedly more confident, and even aggressive during the Gym battle. She made a powerful introduction, leaping from a cliff and gracefully landing on her Steelix. She was not afraid to take on Team Rocket, and was quite vocal in letting Ash know she wouldn't go easy on him during battle.

She reappeared in a flashback in Why? Wynaut!.

Pokémon

This is a listing of Jasmine's known Pokémon in the anime:

Magnemite

Debut	Fight for the Light!
Voice actors
Japanese	Unknown
English	Eric Stuart

Jasmine's Magnemite was seen for the first time in Fight for the Light!, riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. It was also the first Pokémon that Jasmine used in her Gym battle with Ash in Nerves of Steelix!, sending it against Ash's Pikachu. Despite proving itself very fast and pretty strong, it was finally knocked out by Pikachu's Quick Attack.

Magnemite's only known move is Thunder Wave.

Steelix

Debut	Nerves of Steelix!
Voice actors
Japanese	Unshō Ishizuka
English	Unshō Ishizuka

Main article: Jasmine's Steelix

Steelix is Jasmine's main Pokémon. It was seen for the first time in Nerves of Steelix!, when Jasmine used it to stop Team Rocket's Wobbuffet mecha and send them blasting off.

In the lighthouse

Sparkle

Debut	Fight for the Light!

Main article: Amphy

Amphy, as Glitter Lighthouse's Ampharos was called in the games, was renamed Sparkle in the English dub of the anime. While it is never explicitly stated that Sparkle belongs to Jasmine, the young Gym Leader cares for the Ampharos as she does in the games. It illuminates the Glitter Lighthouse to prevent ships and airplanes from crashing.

It first appeared sick, as Amphy does in the games. Ash, his friends, and Jasmine's assistant Janina traveled to Cianwood City to get a medicine to heal Sparkle. When Ash returned to challenge Jasmine, Sparkle had been cured, but was not used in battle.

It later appeared in one of Lyra's presentations about the Johto region in An Egg Scramble!.

In the manga

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Jasmine in Pokémon Adventures

Jasmine debuted in the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc being called by the Day-Care Man. She was told to come over, as the Egg her two Togetic produced hatched into Gold's Togepi, Togebo. As she passed through Ecruteak City on her way there, an earthquake caused by Team Rocket ravaged the area. She managed to escape most of the chaos by escaping to the Bell Tower, but the shaking caused her to get caught in rubble. Using Amphy as a distress signal, she caught the attention of both Gold and Silver, who arrived to help. They managed to rescue her before the tower collapsed and sent Jasmine off to safety on Amphy's back. Unaware of the identities of her saviors, Jasmine helped with getting Ecruteak City back to normal.

At the Indigo Plateau, Jasmine arrives with her fellow Johto Gym Leaders to take place exhibition tournament for the Pokémon League against the Kanto Gym Leaders. In the first round, she faces off against the Pewter City Gym Leader, Brock. She surprises everyone by using Steelix, a new Pokémon that no one had known about. Since he knew nothing about Steelix or even its type, Brock is eventually defeated. Professor Oak reveals to everyone about the discovery of the new Steel-type, which Jasmine specializes in. When the Masked Man attacks the Pokémon League, Jasmine and the other Gym Leaders combat his army of mind-controlled Team Rocket Grunts. The fight takes them to the Magnet Train, which is used as a diversion to get the Gym Leaders away from the stadium. After the Masked Man is defeated, Jasmine returned to her usual duties of being a Gym Leader.

In the HeartGold & SoulSilver arc, it is revealed that Jasmine left to the Sinnoh region so that she may partake in Pokémon Contests and refuses to come back until she had mastered them. In Perturbed by Pachirisu, Jasmine makes a brief appearance entering the Master Rank Super Contest.

Debut	Capital Kabutops

Main article: Jasmine's Steelix

Jasmine first used Steelix to battle Brock at the Pokémon League. It was initially disguised as an Onix, which confused everyone else at its strange appearance. After chipping away at the gravel covering its body, Brock uncovered its true identity, but was unable to defeat it. Steelix defeated Brock's Onix with Crunch, giving Jasmine the win.

Later, when Gold was battling Black's Gyarados in order for him to borrow Gyarados, she takes Gold's place and defeats Steelix, only for Steelix to be far too powerful against the atrocious Pokémon.
