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 Port Zolfo Gym is a repurposed old lighthouse, the lamp at its summit lighting up whenever there's an active challenger on the Gym's ground floor. Though the outside of the Gym is worn and battered from countless years of storms, the inside is warm and well-maintained not by a legion of janitors employed by the Lualdi Pokémon League, but by the taciturn Gym Leader himself. The winding stone steps that go to its top of the lighthouse never have a single footprint on them due to his diligent cleaning. However, the Gym is often rather dark until the lighthouse's peak lamp goes turns on to indicate an ongoing challenge, making it a surprise to challengers just how many doors there are along the spiral staircase. Each door is locked tight, and rumors abound as to what might lie beyond them.
