Hi Scott, heres a question...
Challange! says that you could search any basic pokemon and put it to bench but the rules say you could only
put up to five pokemon at a time... which  do i follow the card or the rules?
rules say 5 max - that is the rule on it.  Think of it like there are 5 slots for Pokemon total - you must put Pokemon in the slots, and never outside the slots.  Challenge does not create more slots - just lets you fill the existing ones.
