Meowth tried to flee Reyath's Pokémon but was just too slow. After being lunged at, its back full of teeth marks, the white cat pulled a sharp about face, swiping at the fire-type with its claws. (Scratch)

OOC: That's your responsibility. Just don't godmode--be fair about it and you should be fine. You don't have to use the same system I do--I'm a numbers-oriented person, so it works better for me to do it the way I do.

Having a flurry of flames shoved toward its face only drove the Meowth to greater rage. Claws glinting in the sun, it sliced down at Growlithe. (Scratch)

"Good Growlithe! Bite its back leg or tail! Attack from behind!" Reyath stared intently at the battle. It was everything he'd been hoping for. Growlithe looked a bit fatigued, but finding his groove and getting himself dirty in the scuffle. That was the sort of heart and determination that Reyath knew would get them far, and any way to sharpen that skill, to hone it to a switch that can just go off in the field of battle, was something that would be crucial.
OOC: where can i go for specific damage ranges and percentages of hit for each pokemon? what sources do you use?
OOC: I just use serebii's database for move accuracy and effect chances. The rest of the stuff I just use a damage calculator for, scaling it to my own system. Obviously a level 8 Pokémon will never have 104 hit points in the portables. You don't have to do this at all--just do what you have been doing. I'm just a numerical thinker.
As Meowth hung from Growlithe's mouth as a result of its tail being nommed on, the wild tried to swing closer to the fire-type's upper chest and neck, looking to take a bite of its own out of the foe.

Quickly, Reyath took a pokeball from his belt and aimed for Meowth. With a deep breath, he hurled the ball skyward, unable to avoid catching a glint of its material catching sunlight as it twisted through the air, and finally neared the end of its journey, casting out a thin beam of red laser light directly at the Meowth. What happened next was awe for Reyath. He couldn't necessarily believe his eyes, even at the mundanity of the situation - catching a stray cat on the outskirts of town - he simply remained astonished. He gulped. It's really happening. I can't believe it. This is really happening.
Growlithe worked well last time, Reyath thought, so let's go for more of the same.
"Go Growlithe! Bite attack on its wing!"
Growlithe pops out of his tossed pokeball and bounds toward the Hoothoot.
OOC: I edited the first post to match the current battle. If this doesn't make it easier, I can copy/paste that post each time I begin a new battle.
Growlithe is dozing on the soft grass. Reyath's hand went to his pokeballs, but he stopped himself. Growlithe can recover from this, he thought. Just give him time. Reyath steeled himself, eying Growlithe intently, looking for any signs of consciousness. Out of the corner of his vision, wings in full flap, though obviously hindered by the previous attack, the Hoothoot began its assault. Though small in stature, the owl appeared a formidable foe, keeping its distance before swooping in for a strike.
Growlithe woke up! He shook himself, seeming to free the psychic bonds that held him, and posed ready for battle.
"Excellent! Growlithe, another bite attack! Go!"
Growlithe put on a superb display of acrobatics, doubling back toward Reyath before he turned tail and charged the incoming Hoothoot. With every ounce of mustered strength, Growlithe took to the sky, seeming to soar in a streak of ashen crimson, teeth bared, eager to lay what could be the crippling blow to open a window for capture.
OOC: Does that make sense? This is all new to me so if you have any advice I'd be happy to hear it.
After the scuffle, Reyath snatched an empty pokeball and sent it hurling toward the Hoothoot. C'mon, he thought, let's put another one behind us. C'mon.

OOC: Do I get to find out what the health of my pokemon is? Or do I just have to wing it?

The fangs grazed the Hoothoot's wing in the process of it doing a last-second dive out of the way. The wild, in a panic...
...gave the Growlithe an entrancing stare, bobbing its head back and forth in time with some unknown rhythm. (Hypnosis)
