Once trapped in linearity, Lualdi now lives its grim past, its torrential present, and its cataclysmic future all at once. Second by second, the region marches towards a seemingly inevitable apocalypse that is shrouded in enigma not for what it will do, but why. The answers to the mysteries surrounding the impending calamity may lie deeper in the reaches of time than any may expect -- and somewhere with them is the answer to if Lualdi can even be saved or if it should be abandoned to its fate. But whatever you do, do so quickly... The apocalypse will not wait for you to make up your mind.
The interior of the castle that serves as the Spegna City Gym is lined with stern-looking portraits of the Lualdi Nine, their solemn gazes staring at whoever crosses through the torch-lit halls. The shadows through the halls as the fire crackles and snaps can almost make the portraits seem alive, though few tarry in the halls long enough to see this trick of the light. All the halls lead to the same place eventually: The castle courtyard, where all battles take place. Stairs extend to the castle battlements, and challengers are advised to make use of the vantage point that the battlements allow. As this castle is only deceptively medieval and was actually built rather recently, it is situated on the top level of the city, and the full brunt of the desert sun can weaken an unprepared opponent even faster than the Gym Pokémon accustomed to the heat.
