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 story of Martyr's Lake is well-known; in ages past, humans and Pokémon warred with one another, and the lake swallowed them up. To this day, it is said that the grisly visages of the slain can be seen in the reflection of the lake's disturbingly clear, unbroken surface, and their voices and hands reach out from the water to pull in more victims. Despite the lake's infamy, however, no one seems sure of where the story about Martyr's Lake originated or even who nameless subjects of the tale were. There is no archaeological evidence supporting that Martyr's Lake is anything more than an urban legend, but no one can find any other explanation for the footprints and fresh bloodstains that seem to move day-to-day around the lake's shore.
