I reset FireRed under the name Red last weekend and have just won the Cascade Badge this morning. I've defeated Green, my rival, and cleared the Nugget Bridge and got the SS Ticket, also. On the way, I managed to capture an Abra. I put it to sleep with Tropy's Sleep Powder and Tackled it to half health. It took two tries. The first Abra was too quick and Teleported immediately and the second went the way I just described. Aeris evolved in my battle against the Goldeen trainer before Misty and Psy evolved on the way to Bill's house.
Misty is probably my favorite gym leader. At this point in the game, she's pretty difficult for me mainly because her Pokemon are about 3-5 levels higher than mine. This morning's match has been my favorite against her. I managed to defeat Staryu pretty easily with Morphos. I poisoned it with Poisonpowder and got it confused with Confusion after Misty just cured it with Super Potion. Then, it was just a matter of a few more Confusions. Then Starmie came along and wiped out Tropy, Aeris, and Sonic. But it was Psy to the rescue to win the match and my second badge.
