Valley Windworks: Difference between revisions

|japanese_name=たにまのはつでんしょ

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 {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}. 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 {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. On Fridays, the wind blows a single {{p|Drifloon}} to the plant. At times, a swarm of {{p|Electrike}} can appear here. A sign outside reads:

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 {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|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 {{game|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 is also here where the {{player}} discovers that Charon is in fact, one of the four {{tc|Commander}}s.

[[File:Valley Windworks anime.png|thumb|right|In the anime]]

The Valley Windworks appeared in the anime, where [[Lyra's Marill]] wandered inside. Ash and {{Ashfr}} had to go inside to retrieve it, though it took a while due to the loss of electricity at some point. [[Benjamin]] guards this location with his multiple {{p|Magnemite}} and many security cameras, but he is generally asleep.

"''The bringer of wars... Your target is the energy of the power plant.<br>The bringer of contentment... Your target is the Pokémon statue of Eterna City.<br>The bringer of aging... Your target is the Pokémon that sleeps on today.

<br>The dream energy.

<br>&nbsp;Team Galactic.''"

 

This message likely refers to {{wp|Gustav Holst}}'s orchestral suite ''{{wp|The Planets}}''. The epithet of each commander corresponds to the first, fourth, and fifth movements of the suite, respectively: {{wp|Mars (mythology)|Mars}}, the Bringer of War, {{wp|Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter}}, the Bringer of Jollity, and {{wp|Saturn (mythology)|Saturn}}, the Bringer of Old Age. The message shows where each of Team Galactic's three commanders is stationed: Mars was at Valley Windworks gathering power, Jupiter may have been the one to deface the Eterna Pokémon Statue (as she is in the city when the player arrives) and Saturn tries to capture the sleeping Azelf.

 

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

 

* In Diamond and Pearl, if Dialga or Palkia is battled on a Friday, the overworld sprite of Drifloon can be seen when the cutscene preceding the battle briefly shows Valley Windworks.
