Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
HG/SS Help with Chuck and Jasmine?

When facing Jasmine, definately start with Onix. He can use ground attacks extremely effectively against the Magnemites and is immune to their electric attacks. If she switches to Steelix, either swap out for Wooper (depending on whether you think he can do any damage at a low level) or try to run through him with Onix. Quilava is much more useful if you have Flame Wheel, which should OHKO the Magnemites and significantly injure Steelix, and if Quilava has Dig or a similar Ground move - such a move easily sweeps her entire team, from my past experiences with Quilava on SS and the original Silver.
For Chuck, I'd reccomend getting a Flying or Psychic type. Your current team is easily demolished by his Pokemon, his biggest threat being Poliwrath. Quilava and Onix both fall to either of his pokemon, due to his pokemons' movesets, while Arbok could be defeated by either if it has no supereffective attacks. Wooper and Sunkern are presumably either severely underleveled or too weak - Sunkern has the worst base stats of any pokemon, and Wooper evolves at level 20.
Of course, this whole post is pointless if your pokemon are too underleveled. Quilava would be many times more effective in both gyms if he were a Typhlosion, and the same goes for Wooper. I realize you may not be able to evolve Onix through trade yet, but if you find a Metal Coat it wouldn't hurt to use the GTS glitch, if you have Wi Fi.
I hope I helped! :)

Well Flame Wheel's base power of 60 doesn't do much to Steelix's base defence of 200, especially considering its level (even after STAB and super effective). And Dig wouldn't even get STAB. It would be easier to just buy a Fire Blast TM (TM38) from Goldenrod City MegaMart for 5500 pokedollars, as that is more powerful than Flame Wheel and, more importantly hits Steelix's weak Special Defence rather than its godly defence.

As far as Chuck is concerned, go back to Goldenrod and get yourself a Drowzee or Abra. Nothing on your team is really potent enough to deal with Poliwrath.
If you're insistent on the team you have, Quilava is really your only viable option against Primeape, but Double Team is likely going to hurt your chances significantly. Use SmokeScreen if you have it, spam Flame Wheel, heal when necessary and hope that DynamicPunch doesn't land. Wooper (if evolved) could hope to take it on head-to-head with only some issue, but its Speed is not doing any favors for you.
As for Poliwrath, I would say use Sunkern if it wasn't statistically the worst pokémon in the entire game. If you have a Sun Stone, I'd strongly suggest using it right about now.
Onix is outright useless in the entire fight, Arbok is not like to do much of anything, and Wooper as it stands now probably couldn't take more than a couple attacks. My best advice to you is to train. Evolve Wooper into Quagsire, Sunkern into Sunflora with a Sun Stone, and I would still strongly recommend a Psychic-type. It would do you lots of good after you beat Jasmine anyway.
As an extreme alternative, you could go back to Goldenrod City and buy a Dratini for 2100 coins at the Game Corner, and then spam the heck out of Dragon Rage.
