Whew... I haven't updated my challenge in a LONG time...
After some grinding in victory road, and beating the E4 and all but my rival's starter (and myself having my other 2 fire-types, Rapidash lv59 and Arcanine lv61, both fainted), here came the classic 1-on-1 challenge. It was a very strange mirror match of our first battle, with both pokemon only surviving were our starters, and they were both at same level too.
RESULT
IN YOUR FACE, RIVAL.
I don't know if I'll start the monotype challenge for GSC, but I probably will do it after I finish/fail on my Emerald Nuzlocke.

Got Tm 05 for the Aide and the Old Amber. Right now, Ivysaur, Weepinbell, and Parasect (along with HM slave sandshrew) are heading to Lavender.
Team is now:
Ivysaur LVL 27
Vine Whip
PoisonPowder
LeechSeed
Tackle
Parasect LVL 27

Weepinbell LVL 28

Nieds the Nidoking
Level 24
-Tackle
-Poison Sting
-Horn Attack
-Double Kick
Santo the Sandshrew
Level 18
-Scratch
-Sand Attack
-Slash
Update 3
- Made my way to Nugget Bridge, where I faced off against my rival. Nieds did most of the work here, but I managed to get Santo some exp as well.
- Battled most of the trainers on the Bridge before getting sick of Santo fainting all the time... so I went back to the outskirts of Mt. Moon to grind. It's a pain that Sandshrew doesn't get another offensive move aside from Scratch until lvl 17 :/
- After grinding a bit (and teaching Santo Slash), I went back to Nugget Bridge and earned my prize!
- I went back to the gym to take on Misty. Santo did a fair bit of damage to Staryu before falling to Water Gun, but Nieds came in, spammed Horn Attack, and beat both of her Pokemon. Cascade Badge is mine!
- Used a Moon Stone on Nieds to evolve into Nidoking.
