Got the gym badge with no casualties, headed to Slateport.
Dealt with all the trainers on the beach and Team Aqua no problem. After that I encountered a Chespin at level 17 on the following route. Boxed Petilil and replaced her with Chespin, no Quilladin.
Now I made it to Mauville. About to grind Gawain and face the gym.
