Winter slopes!
If it's winter, there's a pile of snow leading you up to the ledge way, way up on that cliff. That's where the thick grass is, and it's available only in winter, of course. There's also a lone Nugget past the patch of thick grass for your benefit.
As you head north towards Dragonspiral Tower, you'll see Cedric Juniper standing at the edge of the forest. He was actually there earlier, but assuming you've got your 7th Badge, Bianca will show up when you approach him. It sounds like Team Plasma has taken over the Dragonspiral Tower and, from the sounds of it, Cheren did something stupid like go in after them. Gah! Mr. Juniper gives you some Old Gateau, which heals your Pokemon's status conditions when used. Uh, ok, sure...
Dragonspiral Tower (Outside)
Outside of Dragonspiral Tower, you'll notice that some of the pillars were knocked over (they weren't like that if you visited earlier) and also there's an opening blown into the base of the tower. Oh yeah, there's also a bridge. Yeah, now you can actually do stuff here, but before you get ambitious and try to take on the tower, why not surf over to the east? There are some Trainers, wild Pokemon, and even a TM for you to find over there!

The first Ace Trainer on the southern side of the land area has a Vanillish L36 and a GalvantulaL36. The one to the north has a Cubchoo L35, a Darmanitan L35, and a Leavanny L35.
Between the two Trainers and the differing patches of grass, you can pick up TM63 (Embargo), an attack that prevents the target from using any held items for five turns, including healing items by the Trainer. It's not really all that useful in-game, unfortunately, and, well, not even really against other players... Oh well.
While surfing on the water in the northeast area, against the northern wall, use your Dowsing Machine. There's a hidden Heart Scale on part of the tower!
Now go ahead and enter the tower!
Dragonspiral Tower 1F

| Druddigon | | Lv. 30 ~ 33 | 30% |
Nothing really much to see in the first room, other than some new Pokemon that you can encounter. Head to the northeast and towards the stairs leading up. Before you can climb the stairs, though, you'll hear some ominous shaking noises coming from somewhere... maybe it's upstairs. Uh oh! Up you go!
Dragonspiral Tower 2F
As soon as you enter the second floor, Cheren will shout your name and direct your attention over to him in the west side of the room. Looks like this place is a mess right now, ugh... all the work of Team Plasma!
You need to go up and help him out with his Team Plasma crusade, so head northwest and then shove that boulder into the hole with Strength. Before going up the stairs, though, you can search the northeastern corner of the room to find a Hyper Potion sort of hiding by one of the arched pillars.
Don't have Strength on you? Well you can just take a detour by that Hyper Potion, walking up the broken pillar (it's like a slope) and then on over to where Cheren was.
At the top of the steps, grab the Stardust on the crumbled pillar to the south, then head into the other room.
In the next room, climb up the circular steps, and then you'll want to jump across the ramps to your south. This is a ramp puzzle similar to the one in HeartGold and SoulSilver. They're one-way jumps, so you'll want to take the right set.
Ignore the top ramp; instead, take the middle ramp to be led over to a Shiny Stone. The bottom ramp then takes you over to the next flight of stairs.
Dragonspiral Tower 3F
There are a ton of Team Plasma members up here, fighting against Brycen and Cheren! Yikes! Brycen and Cheren have the ones in that wide open area under control, so you'll want to go south and take on the two guarding the stairs.
The first one has a Watchog L34 while the second one has a Liepard L34. Walk up the stairs, then fight Plasma Grunt #3 with his Scraggy L34. More stairs to climb, and another Grunt to fight! The fourth Grunt has two Liepard L33. Geez, keep going up these stairs and you'll run into a fifth Grunt, with a Watchog L32, a Scraggy L32, and a Krokorok L32 on his team.
Finally there's enough of a break in the linear path of stairs and Grunts to give you a choice to head up or to the east. There's a Dragon Fang to the east, which improves the power of the holder's Dragon-type attacks by 20%.
Now head upstairs into the next room.
Dragonspiral Tower 4F
Talk about a spiral! This whole room wraps around the pillar in a circular like fashion, with the camera moving along with you, making for an interesting experience. Head right until you get to the plank leading you into the 2nd ring from the center (not counting the center part as a ring).
From here, you can head either left or right; heading left leads you to a Star Piece and a ramp leading you to the closest ring from the center. You might as well go this way, because you can easily get back to the other way.
Head to the right, skipping the plank leading to the middle column, and cross the two planks in a row. You'll be by some stairs, but from the other side, so head on left to pick up some more Stardust.
Alright, from the Stardust, head back right and then back across the two planks, heading left when you get to the 1st ring from the center, then keep going until you can cross over to the middle pillar.
From there, head right and jump down the ramp, cross the plank and head left, then cross the next plank so you're on the 2nd ring from the center. Head right, but don't cross that plank just yet; keep going to score a Revive. Head back to that plank, cross it, then head left to climb up the stairs (or right to start back at the beginning).
Dragonspiral Tower 5F
As you proceed north, you'll witness another great shaking, as well as hear a deafening cry. Oh snap! There's some big Pokemon up in here! Not good, not good at all! Should you turn around? Nahhh, keep going, of course!
In the northeast corner of the room, literally right on your way, pick up that Max Elixir just sitting there. Now head west and you'll find one of the Seven Sages, Giallo, with a bunch of Plasma Grunts in his court. They quickly surround you, overwhelming you and battling you right away!
The first Grunt has a Watchog L33 and a Krokorok L33. Number two battles you immediately afterward, and he has a Krokorok L34. The third one has a Trubbish L33 and a Liepard L33 on her team, while the fourth and final one has a Watchog L34.
Once you've beaten all four of them, they'll get out of your way. That Giallo guy won't battle you or do anything afterwards, so just head south and then up the stairs.
Dragonspiral Tower 6F
You know stuff is going down when the music gets eerie... head just a little north and you'll be greeted by the sight of either Zekrom (in Pokemon Black) or Reshiram (in Pokemon White) standing there, looking really awesome in 3D and everything. N is also right beside that massive Pokemon! And so it's clear, yes, you do see the opposite legendary here. This is not the one you catch in the game, so don't freak out.
He says a bunch of stuff about Zekrom and Reshiram, as well as taking on the Champion and stuff like that before flying away on one of his random Pokemon. Zekrom or Reshiram also fly away in this time. Um, ok, not good, those things could do some damage!
After that little scene, Cheren and Brycen finally catch up to you, then lead you down the tower. Oh, joy.
Everyone talks all doom and gloom and stuff, but then Alder shows up and says a bunch of stuff about Zekrom and Reshiram, thinking that may be the only way to stop him and Team Plasma. Cedric Juniper and Brycen head back into the forest, then Cheren and Alder head off back towards town, leaving you with Bianca, who tells you to go to the Desert Resort on Route 4 in order to locate the Relic Castle.
Well, that sounds like the place we need to go, so fly on back there and then make your way to the Relic Castle! Remember, the Desert Resort is on Route 4, just south of Nimbasa City and then due west. The Relic Castle, on the other hand, are found in the northern part of the massive Desert Resort.
Relic Castle
Desert Resort
Right as you're about to enter the Relic Castle, Cheren shows up and orders you to stop! He says some stuff about the Desert Resort, then says something about Alder. Oh well, go inside anyway.
Relic Castle B1F
Head on over to the west, but be careful not to RUN while walking over that sand trap. That'll just send you down to the basement. If you haven't gotten your fossil yet, you can talk to the scientist right past the second sand trap to get either a Cover Fossil or a Plume Fossil, but I'm hoping you've already got that by now.
Now you'll be able to go past where that worker was blocking earlier. Head on down the stairs there and see what lurks in the area of the basement you were unable to access before!
Relic Castle B2F
Yikes! Lurking right down in the basement is another one of the Team Plasma sages, Ryoku. He tells you some stuff about Ghetsis, then lets you go. Right past him and guarding a sand trap is a Plasma Grunt with a Watchog L34 and two Krokorok L34. Beat him, then head into the middle of the sand trap and fall down to the next floor!
Relic Castle B3F
| Relic Castle B3F - B6F | ||||
| Wild Pokemon | Types | Level(s) | Rarity | |
 | Krokorok | /  | Lv. 34 ~ 37 | 50% |
 | Cofagrigus | | Lv. 34 ~ 37 | 50% |
Just south of where you fell is a Max Potion, so pick that up then head left to fight the Plasma Grunt and his Scraggy L35 and Watchog L35. Don't fall down that sand trap right next to him; walk through it slowly, then go over and fight the next Grunt. She has a Garbodor L36.
Once again, sloowwwwwly WALK across the sand trap to grab TM30 (Shadow Ball), a powerful Special-based Ghost-type attack that has a chance of lowering the opponent's Sp. Def. Now that you've got that, go ahead and fall down the pit.
Relic Castle B4F
The nearby Grunt has a Krokorok L36. Just to his south, across the sand trap (walk slowly!) is a Max Revive. Now, you'll notice there are a ton of different pits on this floor, possibly making your decision of which one to fall down rather difficult. The northeastern-most three pits all take you down to a dead end in the basement, although there is a Sun Stone down there for you, so it might still be worth falling anyway (you'll return up to B3F afterwards).
The hole you want to fall down is the one to the direct west of the first Grunt, where you'll have to fight another one guarding it with a Liepard L34 and two Trubbish L34. Beat her, walk across the sand pit to grab a PP Up, then fall down the hole.
Relic Castle B5F
You'll land right next to two more Plasma Grunts. The first one has a a Watchog L35 and a Scraggy L35. The second has a Trubbish L35 and a Liepard L35. Beat the two of them, then fall down to the bottom floor.
Relic Castle B6F
As soon as you land, you'll see Alder standing off against Ghetsis. Uh oh! Cheren immediately falls down afterwards. The three of you head over to talk to Ghetsis and talk for a very long time about important stuff like the Dark/Light Stone, Reshiram and Zekrom, and stuff about the Pokemon League. This is serious business!
After a lot of dialogue, he pushes you aside and walks over towards the stairs you can see in the corner. Then the three of you chicken out or something (well, ok, probably not... Ghetsis probably just already took the Dark/Light Stone or whatever he came here for) and leave the Relic Castle.
Everyone worries about N and Ghetsis having the two legendary Pokemon, but then you'll get a call on the Xtransceiver. It's Prof. Juniper! She's shouting your name several times, then tells you to go to Nacrene City immediately! Alder quickly flies off, leaving you free to return there.
