How do I get past a guy in the Relic Castle?

Question

I'm playing Pokemon white and i'm trying to go down the stairs to the second floor but there is a guy saying that there is too much sand and he needs a second to clear it. Do you need to defeat the 4th gym? Please help.

Comments

Do you mean Relic Castle or Relic Passage? To my memory there wasn't someone blocking my way at the passage.

You're at the Pokemon World Tournament, right?

He is talking about the original white not white 2 which added the relic passage and the PWT

Actually, you cannot get there until you beat the 7th gym and go through Dragonspiral Tower. It's part of the plotline.
