Valley Windworks in Diamond and Pearl

The Valley Windworks is a wind power plant just east of Floaroma Town off Route 205, surrounded by turbines. In Diamond and Pearl Team Galactic seizes it to harvest its energy and holds a worker hostage; after collecting the Works Key from grunts in Floaroma Meadow, you storm the plant and defeat Commander Mars.
