Alex, if you're still following this thread, you were wrong about the Normal Gem being banned. I told you they wouldn't since you could find it in the game. I emailed the official organisers this is their reply.

Hi There,
Please find the set rules for standard battle below:
•Players may use Pokémon from the Central Kalos Pokédex from #001 to #150, Coastal Kalos Pokédex from #001 to #153, or Mountain Kalos Pokédex from #001 to #147.
•Pokémon must be placed in the Battle Box.
•Pokémon are allowed to Mega Evolve.
•Pokémon above Level 50 are permitted, but they are auto-leveled down to 50 for the duration of battle.
•Players may use Pokémon with Hidden Abilities.
•Players may use items that have been officially released via Pokémon X, Pokémon Y, the Pokémon Global Link, or an official event or promotion.

I hope this answers your question however if not our staff on the day will be able to assist you with this query before your battle.
Many Thanks
Nicola
