Battle the Galactic Grunt here who is guarding the door of Valley Windworks. After defeating him, he will run inside the Valley Windworks and lock the door. However, he will tell you that his comrades in Floaroma Meadow have a spare key. If you don't already have the key, return to Floaroma Town and enter the meadow to the north.

When you enter the Windworks, you will startle the grunt who had previously blocked the door. He quickly turns and runs away to warn the Commander. Follow him, battling the two grunts along the way. The Commander notices you and talks to you about Team Galactic, providing some information. She promptly challenges you to a battle.

Commander Mars Valley Windworks Platinum Reward: $1360

Types: Poison Flying Ability: Inner Focus Held item: None Zubat♀ Lv.15 Bite Dark Physical   --       Leech Life Bug Physical   --       Toxic Poison Status   --       Curse Unknown Status   --       Type: Normal Unknown Ability: Thick Fat Held item: Oran Berry Purugly♀ Lv.17 Fake Out Normal Physical   --       Scratch Normal Physical   --       Faint Attack Dark Physical   --       Curse Unknown Status   --

The danger here is that Mars' Level 17 Purugly is tough to beat unless if your team was well prepared beforehand. If you started with Chimchar, having it evolve into Monferno (at Lv. 14) to learn Mach Punch is useful. Intimidate users, such as Staravia or Luxio, are also helpful. Upon defeat, Mars will gather her grunts and leave the Windworks after another Commander reminds her that they've already collected enough energy from the Windworks for their plans.

The little girl's father thanks you for rescuing him, and his daughter runs in happily, thanking you as she passes. You now may continue north on Route 205, which was previously blocked by Galactic Grunts. After leaving the Windworks, Looker shows up and mentions that he heard of the attack on the Windworks and at first is in disbelief that you drove Team Galactic away. He then mentions that Team Galactic is rumored to have a hideout in Eterna City. Before continuing north, return to Floaroma Town and heal up your team.

Now that Team Galactic has left the Windworks, a Drifloon will appear here every Friday.

As stated before, the Galactic Grunts who were blocking you from entering Route 205 are now gone with Commander Mars. You can cross the small bridge and then continue heading north until you get to Eterna Forest. Ascend to the raised western side of the route, and battle your way to the house at the top, where the woman inside can heal your Pokémon. Jump down the ledges on the eastern side of the route, battling all the trainers and collecting all the items on the lower level, then head left just before the last ledge and ascend back up to the top of the route and enter Eterna Forest.

Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned Old Chateau to the strange Moss Rock. Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, where a lot of people get lost. It's home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon, and is currently the only known place in Sinnoh to find and catch Buneary.

Once inside, a woman named Cheryl will ask you to escort her through the forest, since she is worried about being attacked by Team Galactic. When traveling with her, all wild encounters will become Double Battles! If you want to catch any of the Pokémon found here, it is recommended you do so after you've parted ways; while you're in Cheryl's company you're unable to catch wild Pokémon while there are two enemies on the field, and her Chansey will quickly finish off a single Pokémon. You also have the option of challenging pairs of Trainers as a tag team with Cheryl or by yourself by talking to them to fight individual battles. The greatest benefit of traveling with her is that after every battle, she will fully heal your team! This makes Eterna Forest a great place to train for your upcoming Gym Battle.

The most direct route from the southern exit to the northern exit is as follows: travel northeast from the entrance, through the tall grass, and then directly north, following the path between a Lass and a Bug Catcher. Then, continue east a short way to the trees and then south to a large patch of tall grass. From there, continue east until the eastern wall is reached. A considerable distance north of there is the exit, around a small rock ledge. However, you may (and should) choose to deviate from this route, as there are a lot of items and Trainers to be found in Eterna Forest. Once you reach the northern exit, Cheryl will leave. Upon leaving, Cheryl will give you the Soothe Bell as a gift.

Route 205 (east)

When you come out of Eterna Forest and return to Route 205, all you need to do is walk across the bridge. The Fishermen won't battle you unless you talk to them, so if you don't want the experience just go straight ahead to Eterna City.
