[@Heckno12] Another random thought: Around how long should travelling to Mesalon take? You said we'll be around lv15 by the time we do the gym battle, and I was thinking of what fer said about being in the wild. I'm guessing we'd better stock up on potions as we won't be anywhere near a Pokecentre (that won't be easy for Sophia, with her limited money), and will we be able to find berries/other items along the way?

Also... [@fer1323] This means you may just have a Combusken in time for the gym battle, so that'll be an advantage. Unless the gym leader has a Normal/Flying type.
