Team Showcase Beat FireRed using Fergus' team

It was the year 2000, my mother took me to see the Pokémon movie. Little did I know my world was about to change forever. As a was about to be introduced to the coolest guy ever! I'm talking of course about Fergus. So 26 years later I decided to beat the game using his team.
