Pokémon World Locations

The Valley Windworks (Japanese: たにまのはつでんしょ Valley Powerplant) is a large, wind-powered power plant that lies east of Floaroma Town, just off of Route 205. It harnesses wind energy via giant windmills and converts it into electricity. Mars of Team Galactic tries to take over the station to harness its energy, but is chased away by the player of Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. On Fridays, the wind blows a single Drifloon to the plant. At times, a swarm of Electrike can appear here. A sign outside reads:

Geography

Interior of the Valley Windworks

The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mt. Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off of Route 205, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. West of the plant is a large patch of tall grass, where many wild Electric-type Pokémon live. To the north of the power plant building is a river which runs onto Route 205; a Max Elixir and TM24 (Thunderbolt) can be found by surfing on it.

Inside of the power plant building there are many machines which process the electricity produced and send it out to the cities and towns of the Sinnoh region, while the plant owner and his daughter remain to explain how the plant works and about Drifloon, respectively.

Drifloon event

Drifloon at the Valley Windworks

Every Friday, one Drifloon will appear in the middle of the Valley Windworks. It will only appear after Team Galactic has been vanquished, at level 22 (D/P) or level 15 (Pt). If it is not battled and captured or fainted by the end of Friday, it will disappear until the following week.

Team Galactic takeover

During the course of the game, Team Galactic will take over the Valley Windworks, kidnapping the worker and kicking his daughter out. Their plan is to steal energy to help Cyrus to achieve his plan to create a new world. One Galactic Grunt will be standing guard in front of the door to the power plant. When defeated, he will run inside and lock the door, which will not open unless unlocked by the Works Key, one of which is held by a Grunt in Floaroma Meadow. In order to rescue the plant worker, Mars must be defeated. In Pokémon Platinum, Charon is also here but the player won't have to defeat him. During this encounter, it is revealed that he joined the team after Mars. It's also here where the player discovers that Charon is, in fact, one of the four Commanders.

Trivia

• In Platinum Version, after defeating Mars, this message will be displayed on both computer screens:

"The bringer of wars... Your target is the energy of the power plant.
The bringer of contentment... Your target is the Pokémon statue of Eterna City.
The bringer of aging... Your target is the Pokémon that sleeps on today.
The dream energy.
 Team Galactic."

"The bringer of wars" refers to Mars being the god of war, "The bringer of contentment" refers to Jupiter bringing luck, and "The bringer of aging" refers to Saturn being the symbol for Time.

The message is replaced at some point in the game, most likely after the events at the Spear Pillar.
