Lake Valor: Difference between revisions

''' Lake Valor''' (Japanese: '''リッシこ''' ''Risshi Lake'') is a location in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. Here, [[Team Galactic]]'s Commander [[Saturn]] is battled for the first time. Within the cave in the center of the lake resides the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Azelf}}.

During the events of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Team Galactic used a Galactic Bomb to dry up the lake. The resulting earthquake was felt in [[Canalave City]], located at the opposite end of Sinnoh. After {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} has been captured or defeated at [[Mt. Coronet]], the lake will appear rejuvenated.

In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', it was explained that Lake Valor, as well as all three of Sinnoh's lakes, are the entrances to another world where the [[lake guardians]] live, and they do not actually live in the lakes themselves.  

In the same episode, [[Pokémon Hunter]] [[J]] dropped the Galactic Bomb, bringing out Azelf from its home and drawing out {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Mesprit}} and {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Uxie}} when their comrade was captured. She was challenged by {{Gary}}, who was working with [[Professor Rowan]], but [[Saturn's Toxicroak]] quickly took care of his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} and {{TP|Gary|Electivire}}.

At the end of ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}}, along with [[Dr. Footstep]], were thrown to the lakeside by a {{m|Sand Tomb}} created by wild {{p|Hippowdon}}. Diamond and Platinum ended up on the shore and while seeking for their comrades, Diamond told Platinum about a mysterious incident that happened to him when he was little at [[Lake Verity]]. After this, they encounter two scientists, who intend to take them away which leads to a battle. Meanwhile, Pearl and Dr. Footstep who ended up on the opposite shore of the lake but are thrown on an island in the middle of the lake by a wild {{p|Staraptor}}. In the midst of the battle between Diamond and Platinum and the scientists, a strange light coming from the center of the lake gives Diamond and Platinum a chance to resolve the battle. Pearl and Dr. Footstep swim to the shore and see the two scientists binded. After Diamond explaining them what had happened, Platinum faints due to the burden of the battle. At morning, she wakes up, shocked upon noticing they had camped out the previous night, opposed to her plan of staying at [[Hotel Grand Lake]]. After the first shock she recovers and enjoys the sunrise. Diamond and Pearl come with breakfast. As the trio leaves, Pearl looks up the lake contemplatively.

Later, after Diamond, Pearl and Platinum decide to split up to stop Team Galactic, Pearl heads towards Lake Valor. In ''[[PS398|Tackling Tangrowth]]'', Team Galactic blows up the lake in order to awaken and capture the [[Lake guardians]].
