Pokémon world locations

Stark Mountain (Japanese: ハードマウンテン Hard Mountain) is home to the Legendary Pokémon Heatran. The Pokémon is only available on the second time through the mountain, after revisiting Buck's Grandfather's house in the Survival Area. Players are required to have Pokémon with Strength and Rock Smash to proceed through the volcano. After encountering their rival, players will find Buck, who will travel with them through the mountain, up to the point where Heatran is encountered.

The Flame Plate is found inside Stark Mountain, by using the Dowsing Machine.

Buck

After the player crosses the planks they will encounter Buck who will ask them to investigate a bunch of goons in space suits who are up to no good at the mountain while he returns to the Pokémon Center to heal. After entering the inside of Stark Mountain Buck will return and accompany the player through the cave. Like all the Stat Trainers Buck will fully heal all the players Pokémon after each battle.
