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 churning cogs and billowing steam characterize the Enghia City Gym. Repurposed from an old factory, the building has enormous smokestacks that spew wispy trails of smoke from time to time, and light streaming in through the windows illuminates old machines that no longer create anything but still continue to run with mechanical efficiency. The clinking of metal, the hissing of steam, and the groaning of machinery punctuate lulls in the clamor of battles that take place in the Gym. A large clock is built into the ceiling right above the battlefield, the face looming over challengers and Gym Leader alike as the hands slowly tick forward as they have for over a hundred years.
