I have an optional team but I will share the details on that later. Am I well prepared or not?
 
Well, you certainly have a good lineup, but I suggest you level up more. As I believe you're at the second run (Thus rematching E4), Chynthia's highest leveled pokemon is at 78, so at least level 80's are good. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble, but just find a good training spot, listen to some music, and train those pokemon :)

With the Elite Four, here's what I think you should use against each:
Aaron (Bug): Tyranitar (Yanmega, Vespiquen, Drapion), Steelix (Scizor. Try to teach Steelix Fire Fang first, and use it's defensive capabilities against Scizor.), Dragonite (Heracross. Use fly, and try to dodge it's stone edge.)

Bertha (Ground): Genger (Whiscash if you won't have any Grass moves, this will be tough. Keep using Shadow Ball), Lapras (Gliscor, Hippowdon, Golem, Rhyperior.) If Lapras faints, then use Dragonite.

Flint (Fire): Tyranitar (Houndoom, Flareon), Dragonite (Rapidash, Infernape), Tyranitar/Lapras (Magmortar. If you decide either one, you have to watch out for Solarbeam.)

Lucian (Psychic): Steelix (Mr.Mime, Bronzong. Again you might want Fire Fang.) Gengar (Espeon), Spiritomb (Alakazam, Gallade)

Cynthia: Spiritomb (Spiritomb, XD), Steelix (Roserade. It might be hard with Steelix's lower Sp.Def, but again Fire Fang works.) Lapras (Togekiss, Garchomp. Will be hard due to their fighting moves.) Dragonite (Lucario, Milotic. Try to teach it Electric and Ground moves.)

I hope this helped a bit more for you. The hardest one will be Cynthia (Duh) because of her coverage. Other than that, just do your best :)
