I was going to skip Lt. Surge as well, since I have a Water type and 3 Flying types. At least, until I learned that beating him is the only way to use Fly outside of battle. I ain't givin' that shit up, yo. }:<

Yeah, I had an Ivysaur, too. About the same level as yours, it still got floored by one/two Swifts from Starmie last time I played. It took me like 3 or 4 goes at it before I finally beat her. I'm glad I found out you could skip fighting her until you needed Cut, since I thought you HAD to fight her in order to move the officer out of the way. If I went at her again with my 5 level 20-ish Pokemon, that probably would've been the end of my Nuzlocke run already.
Oh I know, right? I was always aware there was some form of sequence-changing (if not outright sequence-breaking) going on with R/B and the remakes, considering that you can take on, at the least, Sabrina and Koga among others in different orders. You could even skip Lt. Surge until after you beat Giovanni, since Fly isn't a necessary HM to advance. Though it is pretty wanted. :C
