Really, as of this point, there's not much advice I can give you. I'm at work, so I have no way of checking what those TMs are, and you really are kind of limited at this stage of the game as far as moves are concerned. But I must say, I'm surprised that you are losing with that team. I would ask if you are using the n00b method, but I can see from your pretty much balanced levels that you're doing a good job of raising them equally. All I can tell you is to fight as much as you can for experience. If you haven't been to the Trick house, I suggest you go there. If you have, just rethink your strategy when fighting her. Use Tailow for her Grovile, and teach Rock Tomb to Aron so that it gets a rock move. That will come in handy for the flying type, since you have no electric attacks. I honestly don't have the rival's team memorized, but if she has a fire type (probably Numel) just blast it with water gun. For her water type (wailmer, right?) You could try Kadabra, just because wailmer's water gun won't do much to Kadabra's awesome special defense. If you follow this strategy, and are a bit lucky, you'll have some backup pokemon in case something messes up.

That's about all the help I can offer. Good luck.
