Ruling question about infernape lvx's flare up

[Mudkip101]

do i need to have 8 fire energy cards on my discard pile to use its flare up?

 

[Flygon]

Yes. xD

 

[Chairman Kaga]

The last sentence of the attack text answers your question. Keep reading next time

Search your discard pile for 8 [Fire] Energy cards, show them to your opponent, and shuffle them into your deck. (This attack does nothing if you don't have 8 [Fire] Energy cards in your discard pile.)

And "this attack does nothing" means exactly what it says. No damage, no searching, no shuffling, no anything.
