It all depends which starter you chose. If you chose Chimchar, it should be a level 35-40 Infernape, and you would just use Close Combat or Flame Wheel. If you chose Piplup, it should be a level 35-40 Empoleon, and you should use Surf or something like that. If you chose Turtwig, you should have a level 35-40 Torterra and it will probably lose.
