It actually wasn't so bad! I didn't have to hit the Pokecenter once. It turns out that a Water Pokemon with a strongish physical move (Bite, in this case) can pretty much eliminate everything wild via a Water move on the rocks and Bite on everything else, and so many of the Trainers are Hikers that the strategy for 'em is similar.
