That was my exact Trainer line-up in my first build, but it runs a little differently without two Lele's at my disposal. Thanks for the tip!
 
This is a cool deck, because of Gardevoir volcanion has lost the love. Good to see it's back.

Run the same (almost). 2 Scorched Earth, 1 Sallazle Gx (with its Salandit )

-2 Brooklet Hill
+2 Kiawe
-1 Rescue
-3 N
+ Kukie

Importantly, IMO

12 FIRE energy
2 Burning
2 DCE (for the Turtonator GX)

Don't have the luxury of the Lele.

Tested out removing the Brooklet Hills, adding two Kiawe and I took out Stretcher for a Kukui. I also took out 2 Energy for 2 DCE. I feel like the DCE's clogged my hands too much and I think 3 Kiawe lead to the same problem as DCE.

So I ended up keeping 2 Brooklet Hills and energies as they are. I added 1 Kukui and Kiawe (in place of 1 BH/1 Stretcher). It's a pretty good balance I think.

I hadn't played TCGO for about a year and a half, I still have my Lucario EX deck for expanded, but this deck is very similar in a lot of ways and I'm having fun running it. I've kept up with a lot of different deck types thus far (except Gardevoir haha).
 
I personally think you should run 3 Brooklet Hill because they let you setup so much faster. Brooklet Hill is only really useful early in the game, so only running 2 means you probably won't find it anyways. There is not much point in running it if you can't find it in the early game. Here are the changes I would make to your deck.

-1 Acerola
-1 Kiawe
-1 Professor Kukui

+1 Brooklet Hill
+1 Lillie
+1 N

I hope this helps.

This would be going back to almost my original trainer structure. I think two Brooklet Hill is perfect, I've used a late game BH/Field Blower to disrupt Altar of the Sunne/Moon in a couple matches, so even if I have all the basics I need, a late Brooklet Hill isn't awful. Thanks for the advice though!
