The Pandemonium Zone does not naturally exist until a Pandemonium Monster is either flipped face-up in the Spell & Trap Zone or placed face-up directly into the Spell & Trap Zone, at which point one will be created underneath it. That zone will be then on considered a Pandemonium Zone, and will remain one until the Pandemonium Monster moves to a different location.
