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.
Steel bars over the windows cast shadows on the iron pillars and white floors throughout the Vuldan City Gym. The comparisons to a prison are apt; the doors and walls are so thickly-built and reinforced with metal that some suspect not even an explosive Electrode could make a dent in them. The Gym is only one round arena room and a basement for holding supplies; the administration of the Gym is handled in an annexed building next door, and very few people other than the Gym Leader even go into the Gym proper. Because of how devoid of people the Gym is, the low rumbling of the building's air conditioning fills the building, as do the solemn, echoing footsteps of anyone inside.
