Authentic cartridge. Had a message saying "the save file has been erased due to corruption or damage"

 

Can someone please help and try to salvage  my save? In my 25 years of playing Pokemon, this is my first time doing EV training. Would not want to lose my first EV-trained pokemon. Appreciate the help guys!

Bad news, nothing is present in your attached file that can be salvaged.

Save data structure (Generation III) - Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia

Your save file only has blocks 3, C, & D present; everything else is FF FF FF... meaning uninitialized. In blocks C & D, they are all zero except for the box names being present (BOX 1, BOX 2). Block 3 is basically all zero besides a couple of bytes that aren't Pokémon. Nothing to recover, since everything is matching a "new game" state.

Your save data, when viewed in a hex editor, as reference:
