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, although not if the current day is that in which the player confronts [[Team Galactic]]. At times, a swarm of {{p|Electrike}} can appear here. | 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}}.

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 {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from [[Floaroma Town]]. In the area, there are nine 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 {{type|Electric}} Pokémon live. To the north of the power plant building is a river which runs onto {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}; a {{DL|Ether|Max Elixir}} and {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}} can be found by surfing on it. | The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to [[Mt.

Every {{DL|Days of the week|Friday}}, one {{p|Drifloon}} will appear in the middle of the Valley Windworks. It will only appear after [[Team Galactic]] has been vanquished, at level 22{{sup/4|DP}} or level 15{{sup/4|Pt}}. If it is not battled and captured or fainted by the end of Friday, it will disappear until the following week. | Every {{DL|Days of the week|Friday}}, one {{p|Drifloon}} will appear in the middle of the Valley Windworks.

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 {{key|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. | During the course of the game, [[Team Galactic]] will take over the Valley Windworks, kidnapping the worker and kicking his daughter out.

In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', [[Lyra's Marill]] wandered inside the Valley Windworks, and Ash and {{Ashfr}} had to go inside to retrieve it. However, due to the power going out, they were temporarily trapped inside. [[Benjamin]] guards this location with his multiple {{p|Magnemite}} and many security cameras, but he is generally asleep. | In ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'', [[Lyra's Marill]] wandered inside the Valley Windworks, and Ash and {{Ashfr}} had to go inside to retrieve it.

: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 {{city|Eterna}} Pokémon Statue (as she is in the city when the player arrives) and [[Saturn]] tries to capture the sleeping {{p|Azelf}}. | |||
