Pokemon question!

I had planned my next game (still Fire Red) to be done with a team of rattata, but at the last moment I went with a team of mew instead. (Mew? Mews? Muii?) On my previous game I used ugly mewtwo instead of mew, and kicked myself the whole time for not using the cuter mew over the better stats of mewtwo.

Problem is, I forgot something: Mew is treated like a traded pokemon, so above X level you need a badge or he doesn't obey. When I hit level 11, he stopped listening. He's a psychic type who knows only pound and transform, so it's a 50/50 chance on using a useful attack... if he attacks at all and doesn't just sit there.

Brock's gym has only two pokemon, but it's geodude (level 12) and onix (14). I currently have two level 11 mews, one 9, one 8, and two 5s. If I get the rest up to level 9 I still don't think that'll be enough... a normal pound attack against two higher level rock pokemon? I could just level them all to as high level as possible and hope enough attacks get through to do some good, but that seems painful and not too likely to success.

I could cheat and put TMs on the mews, but I had wanted to do this with as little game-effecting cheating as possible (no stats increases, no rare candy, etc, but I did give myself a bike off the bat).
