Draft:Jasmine (Pokémon)

Jasmine appears in Fight for the Light and Nerves of Steelix.

In the anime, Jasmine runs the Sparkling Lighthouse in Olivine City. She used her Ampharos to light the way over the shore, but when 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.

Several weeks later, Ash and his friends returned from the Whirl Islands and Ash challenged Jasmine to a Gym match. Ash used Cyndaquil and was able to defeat Jasmine's Steelix.

Jasmine's title is The Steel-Clad Defense Girl.

In Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Pokémon Crystal, one can't fight Jasmine right away, as she's busy taking care of a sick Ampharos. First one must get a special medicine from the pharmacy in Cianwood City and give it to her.

Jasmine trains the recently-discovered Steel-type Pokémon, but it's said that she recently used to train a different type. Someone in the city says she used to train Rock-Type Pokémon, like Onix.

Jasmine is a very shy girl, and has trouble speaking. She's compassionate, and when Amphy, the Ampharos in the lighthouse tower, falls ill, Jasmine is so worried she cannot even smile. Amphy and Jasmine appear to be close, because when the medicine is brought from Cianwood City, Amphy will only take it from her.

The Olivine City Gym is probably the most simply designed Pokémon Gym in Johto. It consists of just one straight, fairly short walkway, outlined with boulders, leading up to a small set of steps onto a raised stone platform. For this reason, and possibly due somewhat to Jasmine's shy nature, she appears to be the only member of her gym.

In addition to the MineralBadge, Jasmine gives out TM 23, Iron Tail.

Jasmine was caught in an Earthquake caused by Team Rocket while traveling through Ecruteak City. She had climbed the Tin Tower to get away from the shaking and got caught in some rubble. Using Ampharos to send off a distress flare, she caught the attention of both Gold and Silver. The two boys actually fought over who would get to rescue her, and she only barely managed to escape, leaving the young rivals trapped in the tower.

Jasmine later managed to recover. At the Pokémon League Tournament, she fought against Brock. She covered her Steelix in rubble to make it look like an Onix, thinking that the newly-discovered Steel Pokémon would be too horifying for people to see.

Jasmine once specialized in Rock-type Pokémon before Crystal and Professor Oak discovered Steel-type Pokémon.

Jasmine's Togetics are the parents of Gold's Togepi.
