@Valkan What-the- Of all the songs you could have gone with, you pick a Champion Battle Theme for your FIRST battle!? Isn't that just slightly blowing it out of proportion!? XD
Anyways. Nicely posted.
@TheIrishJJ Oh, alright. So, when two players square off (which has never happened yet) it happens one out of two ways. Either the GM supervises, in which case the players tell their battle-plans and counter-battle-plans in their posts and I then resolve what happens. Goes slower, but will be fair. Bo chance of autododging. This is how all players play agains wild Pokémon and NPC trainers.
Other option is that you do it on your own. Then the two of you simply play according to the basic rules of roleplaying battles, as Valkan gave example of. This gives you both considerable freedom as to what will happen, and it will go a lot faster. It does depend on you both being respectable roleplayers that act maturely and for the joy of roleplaying, but that's hardly a problem~!
You always pick from your move-pool för attacks, contact with enemy outside moves is Struggle and hurts both Pokémon. What each move does is directly taken from what they do in game, and they perform as represented by their in-game animations or as common sense would decree. Super-effective moves do double damage, and yeah. Mostly like the games.
Now, when moves actually have a random chance of having an effect, I actually tend to roll a die. I do that for unpredictable things like if a Confused Pokémon hurts itself, if an Ember burns or if a Wild Pokémon is captured. Of course, in GM-less PvP you can always decide such things yourselves. But as for hitting, I use common sense. It's harder to hit here than in the games, the enemy will actively dodge. Conditions might also impact, like if a Pokémon is rolling then touching might be dangerous, a Pokémon on higher ground with a projectile move may have an advantage...
All in all, use common sense. I wasn't entirely sure what version of "how to battle" I was to answer. Haha.

Kalmia looked on happily as both trainers appeared to be happy with their Pokémon, and then she blinked astounded as they were already gearing up, ready for battle.
‘Oooh, the excitement of newly born Pokémon Trainers!’ She said excitedly. ‘Sure, go ahead and battle! But don't do it in my lab!’ Kalmia grinned as she went over and opened the door to the way more fitting patch of garden grass or asphalt of the road outside rather than the fragile mess of Kalmia's lab.

@TheIrishJJ I'll note that I decide what Pokédexes say about Pokémon, in order to keep the style consistent. Someone has already scanned a Slowpoke, so you could just replace it with the following.
Alright, other than that, nicely posted! You can both go and post about fighting now. Except... give me a moment to make a post in ten minutes! XD

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. Nicely posted. I know how she'll react. Alright. How nice of you. Teh-heh.
@Joshua Tamashii I wondered partly if he was going to scare off the little girl, but she's pretty wise, eh. Teh-heh.
@Valkan Oy, you'll get to yours eventually! You're just getting started! XD

And we've reached post 404, wooo~!
@Joshua Tamashii ... But DAMN, that's no error! Oooooooogh, that makes me wanna respond right now! I know exactly what he'd say and I found myself practicing his lines out loud as I was saying them! But, if I post at that speed, I won't be able to do everything else, and on top of that, I have to leave for now! Gosh! Anyways, nicely posted! Hahaha...!

@Valkan If it's only to you, then you can go ahead and reply to one another. Kalmia's not going to interfere if you decide to battle. ... Or wait, she'll definitely tell you to take it outside. Haha.
@Pikmin Eye Alright, nicely posted. Hm. Heh. Yupp. Your posts are good. Now to wait for the other two.
@Joshua Tamashii I added a single line to Dorian's speech. I noted he didn't make any reference to his type of choice, although I have a ton of them written in his file, so I wanted to drop one in. Just searching the term "Normal" should find it, if you've already read it and consider it important. Hah.

@Valkan I'm happy you think so~
@Pyromaniacwolf Alright, nicely posted. That's all we needed. Let's see.
@Pirouette Holy yikes, aren't you all fast today? Anyways, nicely posted. Let's see, now. Hm.
... I promised to post after Pyromaniac posted, and so I will. Yikes, this took a while. Had to write answers for everyone else who's scenes were ready, too! XD
@Rune_Alchemist So, if she's not going to be allowed to jump up and say that without potentially being intercepted or interrupted or so, tell me about it and we can edit. Haha. And, yeah. It's the Pokémon's choice if they want to evolve or not, not the trainer's. Though, the trainer can influence the decision by influencing their Pokémon, or by planting an Everstone on them, or so. Yeah. Haha.
@Joshua Tamashii *glares at spelling* ANYWAYS. So, I created a character that will transcend time and space to be present at the doorstep of every Pokémon Gym to explain things! He'll be totally useful in the future! But, to represent the fact that he is, uh, late, he is, uh, late. ... ... ... Hahahahahaha. Anyways. Amelia can, of course, decline if she wants to. But, if she wants to go ahead... Well, then she can. Haha.
@Pikmin Eye@Eklispe@Pyromaniacwolf If they're interrupted by anyone pressing the attack, the contents of the hider in the bottom won't be said. But otherwise, feel free to sort this out any way you find sensible. Haha.
@Pirouette You didn't actually answer the question of how you wanted to go through, so you're asked again. If it's going too fast, tell me, I was simply assuming that you wanted in and so I had you go in. If that was too fast, tell me, and I can pull you back. That's about that.
Also, general announcement. I will be on a mini-vacation next week, so probably don't expect too much postage from me during that time. My apologies about that. Anyways, have fun all, and report to me if I've made any mistakes! Haha.
