If I use Greninja ex's "Shinobi Blade" attack and choose to search my deck for a card, do I have to take a card and put it in my hand if I don't find one I want?
You don't have to search, but if you do you must take a card and put it into your hand.

If I have a Technical Machine attached to Goldeen that has the "Festival Lead" Ability, can I use its "Whirlpool" attack first and then attack with the TM attack?
No, Festival Lead does not work with TM's; it has to be an attack that the Pokemon has printed on the card.

Reuniclus' "Summoning Gate" attack says to look at the top 8 cards of your deck and put any number of Pokemon you find there onto your Bench. Does this allow you to put more than 5 Pokemon on the Bench?
No, Summoning Gate does not allow you to exceed the normal limits of the game. You can put any number of Pokemon you find onto your Bench up to the maximum size of the Bench. In fact, if you use this attack when your Bench is full, the attack does nothing; you can't even look at the top 8 cards of your deck.

Reuniclus' "Summoning Gate" attack says to look at the top 8 cards of your deck and put any number of Pokemon you find there onto your Bench. Does this allow you to put non-Basic Pokemon directly onto the Bench?
Yes, you can do that.

If my opponent used Iron Boulder ex's "Repulsor Axe" attack, will my Attacking Pokemon with Mist Energy attached receive the 8 damage counters from "Repulsor Axe" if I attack and do damage to Iron Boulder ex?
No, it will not receive the 8 damage counters. Mist Energy prevents all effects of your opponent's attacks done to the Pokemon where it is attached, and Repulsor Axe's damage counters are an effect of your opponent's attack.
