Not to be sceptical, but never out the possibility that it could be counterfeit. Have you held it up to a bright light like a lightbulb before? Most counterfeit cards seem a bit transparent after exposure to light. If everything else checks out, you might have a cool card!

It isn't worth anything. It's fake. There is no accent mark above the e in Pokémon and the energy symbols at the bottom are bloated. Also, the flavor text is the wrong font (though pretty close) and the space after "Illus." (before the name starts) is too small. The other errors have been pointed out.
As you probably know, not all cards that have typos are fake. They're called misprints. However, even those will not have these 'bloated' energy symbols (ripped from Energy cards). As far as I know, the only official cards to be printed with bloated energy symbols (besides the energies themselves) were the original jumbo cards from CoroCoro magazine (Mewtwo's Counterattack, Pikachu's Summer Vacation, [Pikachu, Jigglypuff, & Clefairy], Charizard, and [Articuno, Moltres, & Zapdos]), all of which are Japanese, even though the Charizard card has English text.
How did you obtain this card? If it was in a booster pack (which usually look like the real deals), the other cards will most likely also have errors like this.

See how the spaces aren't as wide as the real one?

Nothing big. Just an itty bitty detail. Most probably wouldn't pay attention to this.

Akiyuki is absolutely right, there's no way a real Pokemon card would have so many errors. You may want to check to make sure the rest you ordered are real, you can tell by holding one up to a light source and comparing its transparency with a real card (the fake one will be more see-through), feeling the texture of the card (a fake will be more rough), and looking for typos like the ones mentioned.
