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 canal of Nessundo Bluff pours directly behind the small, one-room Nessundo City Gym, and the entire open-air back of the Gym -- where battles take place -- is punctuated by the constant roar of the waterfall and has been likened to an enormous, meditative garden. A thin layer of mist settles around the pond, and the series of rocks and stony spires protruding from the water almost seem to beg for the daring to try and make their way across the pond without falling in. Swaying plains grass covers wherever water does not and grows especially thickly around the mesa's wall and the stone walls of the Gym themselves. All it takes is for a challenge to be issued to the Gym Leader, and the serene tranquility of the garden gives way to a thunderous Pokémon battle.
