Also, do you think I should start incorporating some sort of damage system into the battle? My head says no, but my heart says maybe. That way, there wouldn't be any of this "Shouldn't your Pokemon be fainted by now?" "No, he's really, really strong!" And so on and so forth. I figured (when I started this) that if we handled it like a regular battle thread, that it would be fine, and I still believe that; everybody knows their Pokemon's limitations (including me), and we're all literate role players. I was just wondering what you all thought.

Battle outcomes generally work best if you agree beforehand who wins and what happens because of that.

That's what I thought. And the point of this battle wasn't necessarily to win or lose, but to see how she battled and just what kind of skills she had.

You know.... I read a pokemon manga called Pocket Monsters Reburst. There are little crystals that have pokemon trapped inside kind of like a pokeball but instead of throwing it you put it on the back of your hand and you become a pokemon-human hybrid. Only it's only temporary and takes alot of strength.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have the scientists look for that after they find the specific herb.

T_trees_T Sorry for my longgg-ish absence. Lots of schoolwork this week, I have no idea. Plus, other stuff too. I'll try to post more! For future reference, I would say that to use Giga Drain (and any other variant of said move) the Pokemon using it would have to be making physical contact. It would still be a special type move, and I'm going to allow your post. I'm going to call the battle, because that move will have drained about half of Tyranitar's HP.

I'll change it in future posts. I searched it up earlier, but they only explained vaguely how Giga Drain worked. Mostly talking about glowing green, so I put in some glowing green. ^.^ http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Giga_Drain_(move)#In_the_anime

That's also how it happens in the game, but that never really made sense to me. How can you drain someone of their HP from far away?

Psychoholic Slag That's also how it happens in the game, but that never really made sense to me. How can you drain someone of their HP from far away? Ahaha, it can be a bit confusing. In this roleplay though, we'll change it, I guess.

That's like asking how can a small mouse Pokemon can electrocute somebody from far away. Or asking how said person could survive such electrocution.
If it needs explaining, though, I can offer a solution. All Plant Pokemon draw energy from two places, the sun and the earth. They soak up radiation from the sun and draw up nutrients from the earth.
Tyranitar is a Ground-type Pokemon and therefore connected to the earth. Plus, he radiates some body heat. Roserade is a Grass-type, and only needs to be on the ground at the same time as Tyranitar in order to draw away body heat and energy through the ground and through the air. It would work similarly to storing up energy for a Solarbeam, but instead of firing a huge laser, Roserade regains health.
This explanation would also explain why somebody in Oreburgh couldn't drain somebody in Goldenrod. The plant Pokemon have a limited range in which their draining attacks work. Depending on how large and how strong the Pokemon, it could range from ten square feet to fifty square feet. If water is in the area, the effective range is increased by half because energy can travel farther for longer in water.

Just so we all are clear on this, Tyranitar is Rock/Dark.
I will agree with everything you have just said, but I still think that it makes more sense for at least a little bit of contact before energy can be drained. If I had Pokemon that had draining moves, I would run it the same way.

Rock is earth, too. Same effectiveness either way.
Not all draining moves would work like how I described, of course. Leech Life would require contact with the target.
