No wonder your havin' trouble! Okay, why didn't you evolve Mudkip? That would help out alot. Next, you should get a fightin' move on someone 'cause he's a normal type gym leader.
Or just pick up a fightin' monster. I started out with Torchic and when she evolves to Combuskin she's fightin' too. Train that Makuhita I guess or just evolve Mudkip which would be a great advantage. Give someone Brick Break. That's about all you can do.

Plz rate my answer!
Train your team a lot more. They should all be around the same level. Train them all equally.
Only keep the Mudkip and Kadabra don't train the others. You shouldn't have so many Pokemon at the begining of the game because there aren't that many good ones.
Plus you have to try to keep them around the same level otherwise you won't have a good team and then if you do keep them at around the same level then the levels aren't as high as they could be if you had a smaller team.
I suggest catching a spheal because walrein has high stats and is good against the elite 4. P.S. If you do get a walrein then keep body slam because it helps to beat Glacia in the elite 4.
P.P.S. You don't write P.S.S. you write P.P.S. It stands for post script btw.
Use Lv. 17 Combusken, use Double Kick.
Well if you're struggling with Norman see if you can catch a good strong fighting Pokemon (Makuhita, Machop, BRELOOM).
If you catch a shroomish in Petalburg Woods evolve it at 23 and you've got your self a strong fighting pokemon. I recommend you take out numel.
He may have some good moves but Slaking and Vigoroth could both take him out in 1 swipe.
I also recommend you train torkoal a bit because when he's a high level he can have a VERY good defence which could give you time to lay some damage.
I hope I've helped!
Okay, unless you want hydro pump and stuff quicker, then evolve Mudkip. Another level and you'll get Swampert. Train Torkoal, too. Slaking and Vigoroth have bad Special Defense. Torkoal has very good defenses, basically a tank. Kadabra will do well, but it might get O.H.K.Oed.
P.S. Don't bother about the above submittions that say about brickbreak or stuff you've never heard of, that's later in the game.
Maybe it would help if you evolved Mudkip to the last stage Swampert.
You just need to train make the rest about 37/38
Use Lv. 17 Combusken, with Double Kick it works trust me
I beat all his Pokemon with my level 24 Breloom (grew to lv 26 during battle) using stun spore, leech seed, and mach punch.
Please help! I have a level 36 swellow and 27 marshtomp, with 29 golbat, 30 mukihata, and 34 plusle and I can't beat him!!! D:
I won against him using my level 26 Makuhita. I just switched between my weaker Pokemon when Slaking was using facade, and used Makuhita while he was loafing around.
Find SAYBLEYE, it is in granite cave just go down a ladder and walk around until you encounter it. Saybleye is immune to normal type so level it up and you can most likely to defeat Norman (note to have saybleye learn other types of moves than ghost because normal type is immune to ghost type)
I used a Wobbuffet Lvl 15 , I took out bot slakings using first a low level Pokemon, let it die to the first facade then get my wobb. And use destiny bond. Then it dies but slaking to . I revived it for 2cond one. Btw I let a low level Pokemon die since switching a Pokemon wen 1 died does not take up a turn. So I could use destiny bond while he was loafing around.
