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.
"Impersonal" and "business-like" describe the New Ragrussi Gym best. Perhaps it's because the Gym hasn't been around for very long, or it could be due to the Gym Leader that oversaw its construction and continues to keep an eye on its maintenance, but the building just seems too clean and almost unused to be a location for Pokémon battles. There are no mars of any sort on the floor or walls; if a battle leaves such a mark, it's gone by the next day. The walls are a plain off-white color, and the floor is a hard metal meant to withstand even the fiercest of blows. Along with how there are filing cabinets, cubicles, and desks in the back of the Gym where the Gym's employees are often doing paperwork between overseeing League matches or cleaning up after them, it's easy to feel like the New Ragrussi Gym is more like an office than anything else.
