If you're confused on how the fights will be going, I was thinking of doing it as if we were actually fighting, while still following the rules of the game. Something like this (if you don't mind reading):

"And here we are at the final round of the shop tournament!" said the enthusiastic clerk; whom pretty much annoyed everyone with how much exaggeration they put into commentating on each important game. "Who will win in this battle of giants? Emi Miyamoto, or her opponent, Rey Satoshi?" Rey and Emi snickered at how silly the announcer sounded before staring at each other and setting up the game, each with an initial hand of four, along with four life points and one focus.

"Stand up, my Avatar!" the two players said in unison as they flipped their respective characters face-up.

"I'll take the first move. Charge," Rey said, putting a card into a rectangle marked "Focus". "Equip and call!" The brown rabbit, under Rey's control, "gripped" a sword that looked like a swirling gust of wind. Next to him, appeared a white rabbit with a snow leopard-like fur pattern wearing a camouflage vest and an akita with green-tinted fur. Rey dashed at Emi's avatar, a brown wolf with two tails. Emi was pushed back by Rey's attack, bleeding from her shoulder as she began her turn.

"I equip 'Blade-of-grass Blade' and call Daisy!" Emi grasped a sword with a thin edge in her mouth and ran towards Rey as her partner, Daisy, ran towards the green dog Rey called upon during the last turn. Daisy grabbed the dog's front leg and swung him head-over-heels before tossing him into a nearby tree, to which the dog responded with by disappearing into a burst of grey starlight. Emi slashed at Rey and Rey countered with a trick up his sleeve.

"Cast! Tornado dodge! I pay one Focus and..." Rey spun around Emi as if he actually were a tornado, stopping behind her before adding, "gain 200 Power! That's enough to stop you from hitting me!"

"Counter!" Rey gulped as Emi said this. "Budding Fang! With this, I gain 200 Power!" Emi had trapped Rey's front paw in her jaws before tossing him halfway across the battlefield and into a group of bushes, causing him to lose his item in the process. "I also gain one Focus since I won this battle."

"G-good one..." Rey decided to take things up a notch. In reality, Rey, after charging his Focus, took one card from his Focus and one card from his hand and, quite literally, slammed them into his discard pile. "Unleashing the Beast zone!" Rey's Avatar began changing shape. His fur took on an aqua green tint and his friendly, blue eyes changed to harsh, orange slits. His entire molecular structure shifted around, causing his ears to shorten and also caused his muzzle increased in length, becoming like that of a wolf's. With a tornado surrounding him, Rey attacked Emi in his new wolf-like body. Emi quickly countered Rey's attack.

"I perfectly guard against your attack with 'Camouflage'!" Emi disappeared and reappeared a few inches away.

"Zephyr's effect! When he attacks, can I discard my entire hand!" Rey's discard pile was now at seven cards, just barely enough to use his Beta card's effect. "Then, if I have at least six cards in my discard pile, I can attack with my Avatar again!" Rey sprinted towards Emi once again, hitting her clear across the forest clearing.

"It's time to end this..." Emi groaned as Rey transformed back into his original rabbit form. Emi increased her Focus by one and took two cards from her hand and placed them into her discard pile. Emi's Avatar shape-shifted into the familiar pink and black, scythe-wielding lion. "I call Sakura! Sakura and Daisy, link-attack him!" A lighter brown version of Emi's Avatar rammed into Rey's Avatar, causing him to become airborne. A fluffy, happy-go-lucky, brown wolf with sparkling, cheerful eyes leaped at Rey's falling body. The wolf spun around, whipping her two tails at Rey, which caused him to fall to the ground, stunned. As Rey stumbled up, Emi's now-transformed Avatar slammed their scythe into the ground, summoning plant growth to ensnare Rey. The more Rey struggled, the tighter the plants held him. Rey was trapped with one Life and no way out. As a storm of razor-sharp leaves encircled him, the pink lion grabbed its scythe from the ground and swung it at Rey. Blood splattered onto the ground, leaving Emi victorious.

"G-good game," Rey said, shaken by the scene that he imagined while playing against Emi.

"You did well, Rey," Emi said, trying to comfort her friend. After the closing ceremony, everyone parted ways and went home.

That's how I was thinking the fights would go down. The cards and effects are still being used, (although we're probably going to have to let the other player(s) know what the current Power level of our Characters are. Probably in parentheses) but its as if we're actually fighting.

However, the action in the above fight took place in the fighters' imaginations. The fighting in the RP is going to be realistic, to an extent. Like how the Buddyfight cards materialize only halfway during matches, delivering feelings of pain while not actually hurting people (unless you count Zanya versus Genma).
