After I had lost her a bunch of times I ended up exploring blackthorn City a lot, I would go and like talk around town and surf around her gym. Finding think it was magikarp around her gym and the little door there. So it was always pretty obvious that they wanted you to have an excuse to go to that dragon den and so It felt good after you actually beat her, you get to have that little cherry on top of finally getting in there.
