(She has Gen 1's for the most part, but for other gens, she has such gems as Garchomp, Flygon, Haxorus, Zygarde [she's quite a fan of the Dragons in this game], Sceptile, Lucario, and of course, Ancient Mew. She can usually overwhelm opponents with suffocating offensive pressure.)
@Sugar (Ash is raw power, with a dual fire/thunder deck (Red Thunder) Misty is a more balanced offense with an ice based water deck, with fire for support (Luminous Frost) Brock is a more defensive deck, based on putting up a wall around him while he prepares an offensive (Guardian Jewels) Serena is a speed based Light offense--get in and hit hard before the opponent knows what happened (Dancing Light)
(Alyssa has faced all of these variants of opponents before. Get inside enemy walls and in the blink of an eye, it's over. This should be interesting.)
@Sugar "Come on over here..." Ash leads you to an open table with a TCG playmat spread over it, as Serena is opening the Xerneas deck tin holding her deck.
Alyssa searched for her Rayquaza deck tin, opened it up and picked up her deck. She looked clearly uninterested, but that's part of her playstyle as well.
@Sugar (Here is Serena's deck--just the card's name is understood to mean one copy: Pokémon: Xerneas the Guardian of Creation Shaymin the Heroine of the Skies Octillery the Water's Embrace Remoraid the Cleansing Ally Electric Entertainer Dedenne Druddigon the Raging Dragon Wobbufett the Barrier of the Mind Celebi the Emerald of Time Wish Dancer Jirachi Carbink the Crystal Attendant Diancie the Crystal Princess Trainers: The Thoughtful Prof. Sycamore x2 Bridgette the Helpful Assistant N the Pokémon Whisperer Flare Boss Lysandre Dream Team Xerosic the Flare Tinker Crazy Hex Maniac Miracle Max Elixir x3 Mail Call Ultra Ball x3 Fighting Fury Belt Mysterious Floating Stone Escape Rope Mighty Super Rod Vs.

@Sugar (What's in Alyssa's deck? This way I can give you what her cards would be named in this universe.)

@Sugar (Okay, I'll see if I can brainstorm names for these--I'll include which real sets the ones I picked came from for your reference.
@Sugar As the girls prepared their decks, Brock kept a watchful eye to be sure the game was fair. He would also do any coin flipping, if needed.
Alyssa mumbled something to herself as she carefully and slowly prepared her deck. She had to be very sharp, this was her first TCG match in some time.
@Sugar Here is Alyssa's deck, as it would look in this universe: Rayquaza the Great Storm Dragon (XY Promo) Gible the Young Sharptooth x2 (Legendary Treasures) Gabite the Ruler of the Sands (XY BREAKpoint) Garchomp the Mach Dragon (Legendary Treasures) Zygarde the Hero of Gaia (XY Promo) Trapinch the Sandcrawler x2 (Furious Fists) Vibrava the Tone of the Earth (Primal Clash) Flygon the Desert Singer (XY Promos) Axew the Berry Connoisseur x2 (BREAKthrough) Fraxure the Fanged Hunter (BREAKthrough) Haxorus the Dancing Dragon (BREAKthrough) Treecko the Explorer of the Forest x2 (Great Encounters) Grovyle the Guard of the Trees (Crystal Guardians) Sceptile the Swords-mon of Gaia (Primal Clash) Riolu the Agile Aura x2 (Plasma Storm) Lucario the Aura of Power (Legendary Treasures) Energetic Spirit Gastly (Fossil) Haunter the Sinister Shadow (Base Set) Gengar the Dark Master (Fossil) Promising Dragonfish Magikarp (Base Set) Vengeful Wave Dragon Gyarados (Base Set) Kangaskhan the Brave Mother (Jungle; restricted to 1 per deck) Trainers: Brigette the Helpful Assistant Cheren the Peaceful Trainer Winona the Priestess of the Skies Cute Clefairy Doll Confident Ace Trainer Warm Tropical Wind Hero's Cape x3 Caitlin the Keeper of Portals Iris the Dragonborn Princess Korrina the Evolution Singer Hugh the Just Opponent Dream Team Solana the Pokémon Ranger Psychic's Third Eye Lucian's Important Assignment Mr. Briney's Compassion Energy: Special Energy x16 Strong Energy x16
