Strategy: The main strategy of my deck is to stall until I get Lugia fully
powered up. And because he has to discard energy in order to ATTACK, HAVE A
HAND WITH A LOT OF ENERGY CARDS. AND MY OTHER STRATEGY IS MAKING THEM RUN OUT
OF CARDS IN THEIR DECK BY IMPOSTER OAK'S REVENGE, AND CHALLEGE!  So I either
deck them or I destroy them!

And now for the translations:
Lugia HP 90

[f] [W] [l]  90 damage
Discard 1 [f], 1 [w], or 1[l] energy in order to use this attack.

2 [c] to retreat
Weak against [p]
Resistance -30 [f]

Bubii 30 HP

Standard baby rule: If your opponent tries to attack bubii, they must flip a
coin if tails their attack does nothing.

[c] Mokumoko 10
Until the end of your opponents next turn all pokemon powers are ignored.

No weakness
No resistance
No retreat cost

Elekid 30 HP

Standard baby rule
Pokemon power: naughty punch
Once during your turn before you attack, you may flip a coin, if heads this
attack does 20 damage to your opponent's active pokemon (don't apply weakness
and resistance). This power doesn't work if Elekid is asleep, confused, or
paralyzed

No weakness
No resistance
No retreat cost

Bill's transport machine (a.k.a. the super bill)
Flip a coin, if heads draw 4 cards.

Ecolo Gym
Type: Trainer (Stadium Card)
Effect: Whenever a Basic Energy card is discarded by an
  Opponent's attack, Pokemon Power or Trainer card, return that
  Card from your discard pile to your hand.
  (This Stadium card stays in play for the entire game.  If
  Another Stadium card is played discards this card.)

Moo-moo milk
Choose 1 of your pokemon and flip 2 coins. For each heads, remove 20 damage
from that pokemon.

Pokemon swap (Double Gust of wind)
You choose one of your opponent's benched pokemon and switch it with his or
her active. They do the same for you.

Tournament Report:
Match 1: BillyBobJoe vs. Me
He had some crud version of a raindance. He lost of Disqualification because
he thought he could play Blastoise as a basic. He threw a banjo at me then
missed. I won. 1:0

Match 2: Barney the Dinosaur vs. Me
He had a Grass/Psychic deck. If you must now it was because his colors are
purple and green. It was easy because he had a "no energy "stall". At least
that what he thought. He never evolved and I beat him down with Bob the
orangutan (a.k.a. Lugia) I win. 2:0

Match 3:
Bob the Rabid Monkey vs. Oh! You get it already!
He had a deck that consisted of every Mankey and Primape ever published. But
even though I won, I don't think it was a true victory because I couldn't see
anything with his claws poking my eyes out, and him chewing on my scalp. I
win. 3:0

Final Match:
T.K. versus Me
I win because of disqualification. He played this created card called Super
Nova. He said that it knocked out all of my cards. And he wins. Go Figure!? I
guess I win!? Championships mine.

Mmmmwwwaaahhhaaahhhaaahhh!
