Seeing that referee Uncle Wang was adamant, Jasmine looked at Roy somewhat embarrassedly, because it was all because she hadn't greeted him properly, making Roy come all this way for nothing.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter."
Roy wanted to pat Jasmine on the shoulder to comfort her and tell Jasmine not to blame herself.
But remembering that Jasmine was a girl, Roy withdrew his outstretched hand, offering only verbal comfort to Jasmine not to blame herself, as he didn't care.
He just didn't run into the Gym Leader. Anyway, he got to eat a lot of delicious food at Olivine Cafeteria on this trip, so it was already a great deal.
Furthermore, there are two more Gyms to challenge in Cianwood City and Azalea Town.
Seeing that Roy really didn't blame her, Jasmine's little mind raced, and she asked Roy:
"Roy, would you like to battle my grandpa's Trump Card Steelix?"
Grandpa Jasmine's Trump Card Pokémon?
After Pokémon that Steelix was a High-level Elite Four Pokémon, Roy pondered for a moment.
Although he can no longer obtain the highest difficulty Gym Badge of the Olivine Gym, Roy, based on the principle of "since I'm already here," ultimately chose to accept Jasmine's challenge.
He also wanted to let the Steelix test the strength of the Golurk.
"Roy, you'd better think this through. My grandpa's Steelix is much stronger than my Mega Steelix."
Roy didn't say anything, but took out three Badges with an S-shaped engraving and placed them in front of Jasmine.
Upon seeing the three Badges, Jasmine realized how naive her question had been. At the same time, she was also very curious about Roy's Trump Card, which was capable of defeating three of the most difficult Gym Leaders.
"Then come with me."
She thought Jasmine was going to take her back to the Arena, but Jasmine ended up walking straight to the back door of the Gym.
He left the Gym through the back door.
The location of the Olivine Gym is already on the outskirts of Olivine City, and there are several rows of mines not far from the Gym.
Upon seeing Jasmine arrive, the foreman, who was working at the mine, quickly opened the gate to the mining area for the two of them.
Upon entering the mine, Roy saw many workers and Machoke like the Conkeldurr and Pokémon moving ore.
Upon seeing Jasmine arrive, he stopped and greeted Jasmine.
Jasmine gave the workers and Pokémon a sweet smile.
These mines also belong to Jasmine's family, and a small portion of the ore extracted from them is used as food for Steel-type Pokémon in the Gyms.
"Roar!"
A majestic roar reached Roy's ears, and Roy looked in the direction from which the roar came.
A giant, armored Rhydon, about 4 meters tall and covered in thick, grayish-brown rock-like armor, with cracks and protrusions of varying depths, was seen dragging a large cartload of iron ore.
It looks like it's transporting these iron ores with other Pokémon.

This Intermediate King level Rhydon and its Dusclops are both equipped with Eviolite, which boost their Defense and Special Defense by 50%, bringing their total base stats to 567.5.
Its base stats are 32.5 points higher than Rhyperior's when it evolves with Protector.
Seeing Roy's gaze fall on Rhydon, Jasmine explained to Roy that although this Rhydon wasn't Steel type, it was still his grandfather's Pokémon.
Roy didn't believe that a gym leader of Ba Su couldn't find a single Protector gear item, so the other party must have prepared Eviolite specifically for Rhydon.
He felt that if it were one of the Ba Su to challenge him in Gym battle, Rhydon would definitely be one of the three Pokémon.
"Is the Rhydon and Steelix still in the cave?"
The Rhydon, which was helping to move ore, nodded to Jasmine, put its hands together on either side of its head, and made a sleeping gesture.
This indicates that Steelix is still sleeping.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Rhydon."
"Roar!"
The Rhydon waved to Jasmine and pulled away with the truckloads of iron ore behind him.
Jasmine led Roy straight to the largest mine. After circling the mine, they found a cave entrance, which was more than 3 meters in diameter and high.
The cave was pitch black and bottomless, making it impossible to see anything inside.
Jasmine told Roy to wait behind her, and then called out towards the entrance:
"Steelix, a challenger has arrived!"
Jasmine's voice echoed continuously in the mine, a testament to the depth of the cave.
But several minutes after Jasmine shouted, there was no sound from inside the cave.
Roy asked Jasmine if it was possible that the Steelix wasn't in the cave.
Jasmine Knob with certainty. She was sure that the Steelix was in this cave, and that it was just too lazy to bother with her.
Just as Jasmine had predicted, the Steelix, who was sleeping in the cave, opened its eyes after hearing the Echoed Voice, but it didn't want to pay attention to Jasmine and remained unmoved by Jasmine calls.
He doesn't want to engage in any battles or anything like that; what's the point of fighting and killing all the time?
Wouldn't it be better to sleep in a cave?
The Steelix closed its eyes again, pretending it wasn't in the cave.
Seeing that the Steelix was ignoring her, Jasmine was certain that the Steelix inside the cave had heard her. Since it wouldn't listen, she wouldn't hesitate to use her own methods.
Jasmine shouted into the cave again:
"Steelix, I know you heard me. If you don't come out soon..." Jasmine paused, a mischievous smile spreading across her face, and continued:
"I'll send my Steelix and Duraludon into your cave."
Duraludon and Jasmine's Steelix?
The Steelix in the cave opened its eyes again in an instant.
The Steelix inside the cave felt a headache coming on at the thought of Jasmine letting those two troublemakers into the cave. It couldn't be hit, and it wouldn't listen to being scolded.
Finally, the Steelix couldn't stand Jasmine's constant nagging at the cave entrance, so it twisted its body and rolled towards the cave entrance.
A sound came from inside the cave, and the platform where Roy and Jasmine were standing trembled. Then a huge steel snake head emerged from the cave.
The steel snake head alone is taller Roy, estimated to be about 2.5 meters.
