of Rage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQoKpSr3VaE

Make sure you've got a bird Pokémon using HM02 Fly. If you are leveling up an
Eevee to try to evolve it into an Espeon or Umbreon, fly to Goldenrod City.
Otherwise, fly straight back to Olivine City and skip the next paragraph.

|--------------|
|Goldenrod City|
|--------------|

Welcome back. Here, we'll want to go into the Goldenrod City underground, so
head to the southwestern portion of town and do so. Go in and you'll find the
three shops again. Talk to the man who is running the second/middle shop. Pay
the 500G for Eevee to get groomed. You want Eevee happy for evolution, right? =)
Eevee's happiness meter should get a nice boost. Now get out of there and fly
back to Olivine City, then enter the Olivine City Lighthouse.

|------------------|
|Olivine Lighthouse|
|------------------|

Climb up the Olivine Lighthouse in the EXACT same way you came up. This means
falling to the left of that one lass. Once you get all the way up, talk to
Jasmine and say Yes to the fact that Ampharos will be cured by the medicine. Now
Jasmine will return to her gym, so that's good. Now drop down out of the
Lighthouse like you did before and re-enter Olivine City.

|------------|
|Olivine City|
|------------|

You have two choices here. You can fight the gym, or try to gain more experience
first by flying to Ecruteak City and go through the Lake of Rage and then come
back (which is in the next parts of this guide). I'm not your mom, who keeps
buying random items with your money. You do have choices in life. If you want to
get a nice shiny Pokémon to assist you in your next fight first, take that. If
you want to see how you fare now, you can go straight into the Olivine City Gym
to take on Jasmine.

Enter the Olivine City Gym. This is a steel-based gym with electric elements.
Your starter should do okay even if there's a type disadvantage. Sudowoodo and
Raticate will do well too, although the Gyarados that you can get at the Lake of
Rage will fare the best with Dragon Rage. 

Keep moving up in the gym. You will find there are no apprentices of any kind.
Jasmine does not take apprentices. She's too good for that. Jasmine remembers
your help and thanks you, then remembers that she's a gym leader and that she
needs to be serious. Save before the battle, then put either your starter
Pokémon, Raticate, or Gyarados in the front position when you start fighting.

GYM LEADER JASMINE
Level 30 Magnemite (571 EXP)
Level 30 Magnemite (571 EXP)
Level 35 Steelix (1470 EXP)
You get: Mineral Badge, 3,500G, & TM23 (Iron Tail)
---

Strategy VERSUS Magnemites: Use the strongest starter move, fire, or fighting.
Beware of thunder waves that can paralyze your Pokémon. Magnemite actually does
pretty decent damage with Sonicboom.

Strategy VERSUS Steelix: Use the strongest starter move, fire, or fighting.
Beware of thunder waves that can paralyze your Pokémon. Iron Tail can do a
decent amount of damage.

Woot! That's your sixth badge! This gym leader also thinks you're better now
(some gym leaders are arrogant), and with the Mineral Badge your Pokémon's
defense is raised slightly. You also get TM23, Iron Tail, the attack Steelix
used.
