Appendix:Diamond and Pearl walkthrough/Section 4: Difference between revisions

Once you reach Floaroma Town, you still need to head north on Route 205 to reach the site of your second Gym Match. However, first you will need to defeat Team Galactic at the Valley Windworks. Floaroma Town is also the first area in the game where you are able to pick and grow [[Berry|berries]]. Pick the berries in the front of the [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop|Flower Shop]]. If you go into the house next to the Flower shop on the left and talk to the little girl inside and agree with her statement, she will give you {{TM|88|Pluck}}

The only important building in Floaroma Town is the [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]]. Enter the Flower Shop and talk to the lady on the far left to obtain the [[Sprayduck]], a watering can for watering [[Berries]]. Also talk to the lady on the right, to get one random [[Berry]] each day. The lady at the counter will sell you [[Accessories]] for different amounts of different kinds of Berries.

Two Galactic Grunts are blocking the entrance in [[Floaroma Meadow]], so move on to Route 205 for now.

Walk east, and the bridge towards Eterna Forest will be blocked by two other Galactic Grunts. Also, a little girl can be found, who will tell you that her father has been taken hostage by Team Galactic. Head east to [[Valley Windworks]] to rescue him!

The grunt said that the grunts blocking the Floaroma Meadow have the other key, so head back to Floaroma Town. But before that, you can catch three new Pokemon: {{p|Shellos}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Pachirisu}}. The first two are both {{type|Water}} Pokémon, while Pachirisu is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Shellos can evolve into Water/Ground-type Pokémon {{p|Gastrodon}} and Buizel can evolve into {{p|Floatzel}}. Pachirisu doesn't evolve, though.

After defeating them, the man will give you the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|key to Valley Windworks}} and some honey. Follow the path between the flowers. You will find a golden tree known as a bark, as well as a house. The honey can be slathered on a golden tree to attract Pokémon, and after around six hours a Pokémon will appear. The trees are scattered throughout Sinnoh and after 24 hours have passed Pokémon and honey will disappear from the tree.

With the Works Key from [[Floaroma Meadow]], you can open the door.

There will be a few grunts inside, including the [[Team Galactic]] Commander [[Mars]], one of the three Commanders of Team Galactic. The only difficulty to deal with is that Mars has a Level 16 {{p|Purugly}} with a high Attack stat. Due to its weak defenses, a {{p|Monferno}}, or {{p|Machop}} should be able to defeat it by using some {{type|Fighting}} moves like {{m|Mach Punch}} or {{m|Karate Chop}}. Also using {{p|Bibarel}} or {{p|Staravia}} can help.

After the battle Mars is furious over her loss, but knows that it makes no difference as they collected enough data already. You will talk to the scientist a little bit about how Team Galactic were using the windworks for something, just as his daughter arrives and reunites with him. Afterwards return to Route 205 and the Galactic Grunts should be gone.

Head north across the bridge towards [[Eterna Forest]]. Climb up the hill while facing enemy Trainers to reach a cabin that you can use to heal your team if necessary. Since you can't use {{m|Cut}} outside of battle yet, your only choice is to head into Eterna Forest to reach the other side of Route 205.

During your travels through the Eterna Forest, you will mostly have to deal with Trainers that if lined up correctly will challenge you to Tag Battles, with Cheryl as your partner. At the end of Eterna Forest, the [[Old Chateau]] can be found. It can only be accessed by using the move Cut.

Note that the wild battles will be Double Battles as well. To catch one Pokémon, you must knock out the other, otherwise it is impossible to aim a Poké Ball. You can come back after Cheryl is escorted through, and then wild battles will revert into Single battles. This might also be a good time to train weaker Pokémon because your Pokémon will be healed after each battle. But remember that once Cheryl leaves you, this will no longer work.
