Hmm. Most energy removal decks I've seen use at least two Pokemon with energy removing attacks--Dragonair and Golduck, although Poliwrath makes it in there too. You've chosen to focus on trainers instead, which is not neccessarily a bad thing. Let me have a look at it.

1) There's only one thing I see wrong with your Poke, and that's Lapras. He's a great Pokemon, but he's not so good here. You're running a low amount of colored energy, and Lapras requires too much colored energy in order to do anything useful. I'm gonna make a rather drastic change here--hope you don't mind--and recommend that you drop water for fire, putting in Magmar. I thought about Hitmonchan, but Magmar has the lower retreat and can attack second turn for 2 energy. Other than that, I don't know that I'd change anything. You have 10 basics--not great, but not horrible, and you should be able to draw quickly enough to avoid getting stuck with only a Dratini. You could fit in another Basic Pokemon or two by making room elsewhere, but I wouldn't sweat it if you're not having problems.

2) Your trainers... hmm. I can't say I like Lass, seeing as how this deck runs on trainers itself, but that very fact guarantees that you will add a good amount to your deck whenever you Lass. I'll leave it, but consider testing out some of the alternate anti-decking cards, such as Gambler or Mr. Fuji. Another thing I might do is take out a Scoop, seeing as how 3 ought to be enough, and use the space for something else, such as another Computer Search. I think we're about done here--all the other trainers fit well.

3) Your energy is a bit low, but I suppose it'll be enough, assuming nobody tries to remove YOUR energy. A bit of Energy Retrieval is something to think about if you run into problems. Otherwise, no need to worry.

My recommendations can be summed up thus: Replace Lapras with Magmar (or possible another big basic of your choice) and change energy appropriately. The rest is just recommendations or ideas to try. Good job, and a great deck.
