>>54526709I think that, according to lore, Zirca is really far between Upper and Lower sections.
The Upper section is where most people live. Imagine a backwards pyramid. The outside is fine, but the lower you go, the things get more fucked.
I think the breaking point is the fifth gym. Was it the clown or the Water Ground gal? Anyway, at that point, many trainers and gyms are INSIDE Lower Zirca, so you have to go into the depths of Zirca to end the challenge.
In the 6th gym, things are bad. At the 8th, everything is fucked. Even if Yorra is the last one in the circuit, she tortures her enemies ON PURPOSE to see if they are strong enough for the league.
The end I imagine it looks like a military base, where you go inside and fight all the E4, no checkpoints, no breaks. Final spot is Xavion, and even if you beat him your body will be too tired to even reach the Hall of Fame. This is the perfect opportunity to Xavion to put a 9 cal. inside your head, and still call himself "the champion".
