Assuming that you follow exactly the way I want you to, here's how I see it going.
Typhlosion uses Flamethrower to take out Venusaur due to his greater speed, and type advantage. Electabuzz takes down Milotic with either one or two thunderbolts (depends on HP and Milotic's Sp. Def.) Marowak beats Registeel with Earthquake, due to both the speed, and type advantage. Lapras Ice Beams Salamance, but takes a bit of damage in the process. Umbreon takes out Alakazam with a multiple Faint Attacks, since Alakazam's two offensive attacks won't do too much, if anything, to Umbreon. Finally, my Alakazam would take out your Gengar with one or two Psychics, taking him out due to Gengar's ghost/poison dual type dragging him down. If Gengar survives the first Psychic, and either puts Alakazam to sleep and/or makes him faint from there, then Umbreon will come back out and finish the job with Psychic or Faint Attack.
Again, this is if everything goes as I hope. I did, however, design my Pokémon's movesets to deal with any type disadvantages they may have, so I could survive with Typhlosion alone for a while, then finish Lapras or Marowak if necessary.
Assuming that you follow exactly the way I want you to, here's how I see it going.
Gengar is faster than your Lapras, as he has maxed speed/spec. atk. He would put Lapras asleep, and use the deadly combination of nightmare/shadow ball to take him down. If in this event he wakes up, it would already be too late by then, and I believe shadow ball would finish him off. You send out Alakazam, and I get 1 clean hit with shadow ball before inevitably getting OHKO by psychic. I then send out Registeel to finish it, and u then attempt to recover. I actually take this chance to use Iron defense/Amnesia to literally make my Registeel near-invincible. After you realize the plan, you send out Typhlosion to get the job done. Unfortunately at this point it'll be too late, and regi will 2HKO typhlosion with earthquake, and take severe damage in the process, although it will still require 2 more hits to bring him down with any pokemon other than Marowak. You send in Marowak to finish off regi, and milotic OHKO's Marowak with hydro pump. You send in Electabuzz to 2HKO Milotic with thunder, taking severe damage in the process, and possibly even being defeated, depending on the speed difference. If Milotic does faint, I send in Alakazam to finish off elactabuzz with psychic. You send in Umbreon, and I use reflect to preserve my future pokemon. you faint my Alakazam, and I send in Salamence. While you attempt to defeat salamence, I have ample time to use 2-3 dragon dances, and I take out umbreon in 2-3 hits. Ultimately at this point the rest of your team gets defeated my salamence's newfound speed and attack power.
As in your prediction, this is if everything goes as planned.

You forget something. If a pokemon faints, then that is a turn. Also, something you should know, I never lead with Lapras, instead I lead with Typhlosion normally.
Going in the order that you listed:
Against Gengar, Typhlosion would be the faster of the two, and Earthquake would be Typhlosion's first attack. Even without a STAB, this has a chance to OHKO Gengar, if not 2, unless Hypnosis hits (I'll assume it doesn't for this one). Then with Registeel, the same problem with speed arises for you, and Typhlosion uses Sunny Day, then a Flamethrower, which will be a 1 or 2 HKO, depending on whether you use Iron Defense or Amnesia first. Milotic, being faster than Typhlosion, would likely use Rain Dance to take away Sunny Day's affect, followed by Typhlosion using Thunderpunch. Milotic loses at least 1/3 of his health, but responds with a Hydro Pump, taking out Typhlosion. I send Electabuzz (his speed is maxed-out) out to finish it with a Thunderbolt (I prefer the accuracy along with the STAB), which takes out the rest of Milotic's health. You then send Alakazam out, who, being faster than Electabuzz and has no real weakness to him, beats Electabuzz, placing a Reflect with a few Psychics, but takes a lot of damage in the process. I send Umbreon to finish it, and hopefully stall until the Reflect fades. Then, you send in Salamence, who does inevitably defeat Umbreon, but must then deal with Lapras. Salamence could win this if reflect is still in place, or if you use Fly effectively, but it is more likely that Lapras hits him with one or two Ice Beams and wins. If you beat Lapras, Marowak will come in, and use Rock Slide to take out Salamence's remaining health.
My Gengar is faster, as it it has a naturally higher speed stat, and has maxed speed. you have also made one grave mistake: Gengar has levitate. In this case, you use earthquake, but it doesn't affect gengar, and I put you to sleep. Put at this huge disadvantage, you ultimately lose the match due to the first fatal flaw you executed.

that would work, except you say that you usually lead with typhlosion in the first place. In that case, I could start out with salamence and take advantage of Alakazam's poor defense stat.

Did I neglect to mention that my Alakazam has his Special Attack and His Defense maxed-out? He can take quite a beating. He even took a Body Slam from a Snorlax (in a link battle) without losing anymore than 1/3 of his HP (>300).
Maybe, but with my salamence's max attack plus stab dragon claw, plus if I get any uses of dragon dance (which I think I can), i'm pretty sure he'll have a good chance of OHKO'ing Alakazam. BTW I do think your team is alot more well thought out and at the very least equal to mine, which is impressive considering that's one of the oldest pokemon games ever.

Then that would be a very tough battle. It took me about a year of going back and forth between Red and the Elite Four in Crystal (who got no better in the repeats) to get all of them to level 100. As you can imagine, it got really boring.
I'll go in the order you gave. This time, as a rare exception, I will lead with Lapras. Lapras uses Surf for a one-shot on Sandslash, then Ice Beam to one-shot Dragonite as well, losing at about 1/2 his health in the process. Next, your Blastoise will probably finish Lapras. So I respond with Electabuzz, and Thunderbolt Blastoise, taking the rest of his HP. You send Poliwrath to try to save the match, to which I use a Thunderbolt, utilizing Electabuzz's superior speed and the super-effective STABed attack to either one, or two-shot Poliwrath. Next you use Gengar, who, bein faster, will likely put Electabuzz to sleep, then takes the rest of his HP. I respond with Umbreon, which uses Faint Attack to one-shot Gengar with no trouble. Finally, you use Aerodactyl, which takes the rest of Umbreon's HP. I decide to play the risk, and use Typhlosion. Typhlosion hits Aerodactyl with a thunderpunch, effectively halving Aerodactyl's HP, and potentially paralyzing him. Typhlosion then uses Flamethrower to end Aerodactyl's reign.
