Need help with battle animation!

[Taymerica]

Hi guys, brand new to these forums!
I have been working on my game for a few weeks now. I just have the trial version of MV at the moment (going to buy the full version today) and I was trying to have an NPC initiate a battle and after losing join your party.

I wanted to have the proper battle animation, the one he uses once he joins your party, but I can only choose from enemy stock images. Can I get the animations he uses when he joins the party somehow or do I need a plug in?
If I do, can you guys recommend the best one?

A good list to checkout if you are looking for something that isn't in the stock features of the game

http://mvplugins.com/master-list

But to your specific issue there are a couple plug in out there that can help.

Or

A Google search along those lines if either of those don't suit your needs and welcome to the community.

This is a bit confusing, let me see if I understand...

You battle the NPC then once you've defeated the NPC, still in the Battle Scene you want the NPC to change to "join party" group of frames?
(eg. "jump up and down")

...or did you just need an Animation to play?
(eg. Firework effect)

Do you already have a graphic(s) in mind?
More information is needed.
