Took Turtwig. Turns out he had a relaxed nature.
Decided to roleplay my character, he's a descendant of my other characters, and he has a weird curse where he feels the pain the Pokemon most well bonded to him feel. Got all the way to Snowpoint, lost against Candice. Last place I rested was at Mom's house.
I feel bad for my character.
Now I'm stuck against Candice realizing Yache Berries are one-use items and screaming at my DS wanting to know how to 'safely duplicate' (Basically use a computer ROM to remake my level 84 Blaziken and send it to my game) my Blaziken to Road Roller Da her Frosslass and Piloswine.
So yeah, pretty good.
