Pretty good. I'm training some Pokemon in White Forest, and I plan on exploring Undella Bay which has Relic items and the Plates. If you plan going down there though, you'll need Dive which is given to you by a person satnding outside the houses. Anyway, I haven't bothered beating Alder (Unova Champion) yet, mainly because I need to work on my 'Gotta catch'em all' goal, which I started once I got bored of Heartgold. And then when I started White I realized that I would have to start over again.
