Either Cyndaquill or Totodille. Chikorita lacks powerful moves like Flamethrower and Surf and has bad typing, especially in an early game filled with Flying and Bug types. Ultimately, Cyndaquill's typing makes it very valuable, but it is overspeciaized to perform various fire attacks, to the point where you may wish for more variety. Totodile, on the other hand, can learn all the watery HMs, which is handy in these "limited mon" runs, but is not particularly good at Surfing due to its low Special.
So basically, get Chikorita if you want a challenge, get Cyndaquill if you want powerful attacks, and get Totodile if you want versatility.
Love and tolerate.
