The same as most, I believe; I engaged Falkner in battle earlier this afternoon, actually. I've been in Johto for several months now, though unforeseen circumstances have kept me from participating in this badge challenge thus far; it was rather interesting to finally see one of these Gym Leaders in action.

["Unforeseen circumstances" being starting in Mahogany Town for no real reason that he can see, receiving a sudden transfer to Goldenrod once actual training had actually gotten underway properly, learning how to set conventional bombs, threatening to destroy the magnet train to Kanto and keeping his head down afterwards in the event of an arrest/displeased trainers who had seen his face, and dealing with his basket case of a battle partner.

...sadly enough, that last one had been the largest obstacle to actually getting things done.]
