There is actually a way to skip it entirely. If you go to the Pokemon Center, then you will find an option called "Elite 4 Black Screen Fix." This option allows you to skip the fight entirely.

However, if you want to have the pride of beating an absurdly difficult level, then here's a walkthrough: You'll need the following Pokemon:

-Magneton (Caught in Power Plant)

Moveset: Thunder, Discharge, Charge Beam, Rest

-Dragonite (From the Game Corner or Safari Zone)

Moveset: Ice Beam, Bulldoze, Swords Dance, Rest

-Venomoth (Caught preferably in Victory Road)

Moveset: Psychic, Giga Drain, Quiver Dance, Rest

-Arcanine or Nidoking

Moveset (Arcanine): Helping Hand, Bulldoze, Flamethrower, Rest

Moveset (Nidoking): Helping Hand, Bulldoze, Stone Edge, Rest

-Slowbro (Caught preferably in Seafoam Island)

Moveset: Surf, Psychic, Yawn, Rest

-Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise (Whatever starter you chose)

Moveset (Venusaur): Solarbeam, Bulldoze, Roar, Rest

Moveset (Charizard): Flamethrower, Air Slash, Roar, Rest

Moveset (Blastoise): Surf, Ice Beam, Roar, Rest

I'm sure that you can solve most of this out, but you should keep these things in mind:

-When your Pokemon has some damage, don't hesitate to use Rest. If you click that Pokemon while they're asleep, they will wake up.

-If you don't have enough time to use Rest, use a Full Restore. Keep in mind that you only have 6 per round.

-Whether you chose Arcanine and Nidoking, you should make sure that they use Helping Hand once your fighters are out. This will help your physical attackers tremendously.

The next paragraphs are about each individual room.

-Lorelei's Room: In Lorelei's room, there will be Dewgongs and Slowbros that use Slippery Floors to speed up, so make a Pokemon use Bulldoze as they speed up. Magnemite (aim for water/ice types), Venusaur (aim for water/ice types; watch out for ice moves), Charizard (aim for ice types; watch out for water types), and Arcanine (aim for ice types; watch out for water types; obsolete when using Charizard) are all useful Pokemon to use.

-Koga's Room: You know those annoyingly deadly Muks in Fuchsia Gym? They're back. However, they're not that big of a deal this time around. Just ignore them with poison-resistant Pokemon like Magneton and Venamoth (and Venusaur if you have one). Magneton should use Charge Beam to increase its Special Attack, then spam Discharge to paralyze and damage them. Venamoth should use Quiver Dance to raise its Speed (not that it matters), Special Attack, and Special Defense. Use Psychic for some super-effective hits. If you have Venusaur, it should use Bulldoze to slow the Target down so that your other Pokemon can attack it.

-Bruno's Room: DO NOT use Magneton in Bruno's room. Slowbro is your best friend here, just be careful for the occasional Thunder Punch from Hitmonchan. Venamoth can take out the other fighters with Psychic, just be careful when dealing with Onix and Hitmonchan.

-Lance's Room: Lance is probably the most difficult out of these four guys, but use the above tips and you should be fine. Two Gyarados will come out. Use Magneton and Dragonite, but with Dragonite, make sure that he heals constantly with Rest. Dragonairs also come out. Whatever you do, DO NOT LET YOUR DRAGONITE FAINT.  '''This is crucial! Your Dragonite must live unless you have a Blastoise. '''Very carefully take out the Dragons in the next few waves. '''Once again, do not hesitate to use Rest. '''Next up, an Aerodactyl. Use Slowbro and Magneton (and Blastoise if you have one) to dispose of it. Then there are two big Charizards. Use your Slowbro. Then the Big Boss Dragonite comes. Use your Blastoise's or your Dragonite's Ice Beams to freeze this guy whilst doing massive damage. It would really suck if you died now, so be careful.

Hope that helps.
