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 hot and humid Nookalpra Cliffs are a difficult journey except for the most dedicated of hikers. Craggy and perilous to traverse even where well-meaning hikers have set up rope handrails on relatively safe paths, these inland cliffs are perhaps more suited for rock climbing than walking. Despite the difficulty, many make the trek anyway for the sake of seeing the pitch-black, leafless tree that has spread its roots throughout the cliffs. Its gnarled old roots may look dead, especially given how they sometimes curl and break away along the rocks towards the base of the cliffs, but the tree has only grown over the past few years -- only slightly, but enough to show that the tree is very much alive despite appearances. The colossal tree houses the occasional Pokémon, but they rarely remain for more than a day or two. It's as though whatever draws people in to see the blackened tree repels Pokémon from staying for too long.
