the underbrush}
    Prof. Jb: Hello! I just got back from my mission in my space mobile lab.
I thought I would reasearch some Pokemon here in the jungle.
    {A rustling sound. Prof. Wolf turns around, and there, right in front of
him, is a gigantic Venusaur.}
    Prof. Jb: Ah Venusaur, there you are! I was just about to talk about you.
Now, where did I put my PokeDex TCG 2000?
    {Venusaur reaches into the large, leafy plant on its back and hands Prof.
Wolf the PokeDex TCG 2000}
    Prof. Jb: Oh, there it is! Thank you Venusaur. PokeDex bring up Base-set
Venusaur, please.
    {A 3-D image of the Venusaur card appears.}

    Pokemon Power: Energy Trans- As often as you like during your turn
(before you attack), you may take 1 Grass Energy card attached to one of your
Pokemon and attach it to a different one. This Power cannnot be used if
Venusaur is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
    Attack: Solarbeam 4 Grass: 60 damage.

    Prof. Wolf: Now, I know your wondering why I'm talking about Venusaur.
Well this is actually an article for the begginers of Pokemon TCG or anyone
that doesn't know how to use Venusaur yet. Anyway, Venusaur is mostly used in
healing decks. Have a damaged Bench from the attacks by the mighty Fossil
Zapdos, Gengar, and/or Hypno? Use Venusaur to place all the Grass Energy on a
less damaged Pokemon and use Pokemon Center on the rest. Then, put all that
Grass Energy onto the right Pokemon. Almost all your Pokemon are healed,
full-powered, and ready to decimate the opponent. You can also use it in
conjuction with Charizard in what is called a SageFire Deck. First, you pack
some Grass Energy onto Charizard with Venusaur's help, then Energy Burn it
and use Fire Spin! Venusaur is pretty good on its own too. Pump Venusaur up
with Grass Energy and use Solarbeam on the opponent. Venusaur is a great
card, its even got a low retreat! So, if you get a Venusaur, don't trade it!
Use it! Thats all I have. Till next time.........

    Prof. Jb: See ya!
