Ignore all of the electronic doors except.for the one above (opposite the Power Plant itself).

Head north through the first room. You’ll eventually reach the door at the end. Head on through and start walking around the next room. You’ll quickly be stopped by a Team Flare Grunt.

Trainer Battle: Team Flare Grunt

Pokémon Level Type
"Scraggy" IconScraggy 32 Dark/Fighting
"Croagunk" IconCroagunk 32 Poison/Fighting

Head into the nearby door and you’ll see all of the workers being held captive. Talking with the guy in the suit, he’ll cut you a ‘special deal’ and sell you Fresh Water for $300 instead of his usual $200 (although once you’ve beaten this area; return here to get the water for a more reasonable $100 a go).

Head to the very east side of the room and you’ll be able to see an item nearby. Pick it up to find that it’s a Zap Plate . Head back out, then west to the Grunt you just defeated. Now head north past him and follow the path around to the next one. Take her on too.

As the Grunt that you just defeated is blocking the path east, head west. You’ll reach another one.

Head onto the next one.

And the next one.

And the one after that.

And what’s that? Oh, it’s another one.

Now when you see a thin path leading up and to the west, follow it. You’ll come upon two people talking. One of them will attack. It’s a Team Flare Admin!

Trainer Battle: Team Flare Admin

Pokémon Level Type
"Houndoom" IconHoundoom 36 Dark/Fire

After you take down the Admin, the woman with him will challenge you. She’ll give you a moment to heal and do whatever else; how strangely generous for a villain. Once you’re ready, speak with her and the battle will begin.

Trainer Battle: Team Flare Aliana

Pokémon Level Type
"Mightyena" IconMightyena 38 Dark

After taking Aliana out, all of the Team Flare Grunts will clear out. Next, a mysterious pair show up donning masks. They’ll heal your Pokemon and give you two Full Restores . They’ll then be on their way after telling you that you can now access Lumiose City from the north entrance too. Those two seemed strangely familiar though. Hmmmm…

Anyway, backtrack out of the power plant. As you’re heading out, don’t forget to head back into the room that contained all those civilians. Talk with the worker by the entrance to the room and he’ll give you TM43 - Flame Charge . Talk with the female scientist nearby and she’ll give you a Magnet .

Talk with the guy selling Fresh Water and now he’ll make an actual special deal for you and sell them for $100 each instead of $200. Feel free to buy some if you want. And that’s it. Head back out of the power plant.

Rare Candies are best saved for the later levels or if you’re close to evolving.

From there head east back across the steel bridge. Continue east until you see a man with a blue hat standing by some stairs. Head down these stairs and you’ll bump into a person. He’s freaking huge! Anyway, he’ll mutter something and walk off. Oh well, let’s continue on.

Head to the east side of this little area and head south along the edge. You’ll see a path leading off east. Follow it until you reach the breakable rocks. Use Rock Smash on the first rock. Now get out your Dowsing Machine and use it to find the Stardust .

Break the other rock with Rock Smash and then collect the Rare Candy that was hidden behind it. Head back to the main area and enter the gate leading south. Head on through and you’ll be in Lumiose City once more. This time you’re in the north part of the city though.
