pokemon card ash and pikachu and Bulbasaur Custom Handpainted Collectible Gift Pokémon Lightning Thunderbolt (100) Discard all Energy from this Pokémon Pokemon - Ash and Pikachu

Yes, protection from a color means your attacking creature can't be blocked by creatures of that color

So, anything you can't cast on the spot, you'll have to discard

It also is a nice flicker target for Yorion for some added value
