On this forum TMs and HMs work mostly in the same way, but they're handled much differently than how they are in the games.
TMs/HMs are inserted into your pokégear, which will then provide you with an instructional video on how to teach a Pokémon this move.
To teach your Pokémon, you must dedicate a certain amount of time/number of words to your character teaching the Pokémon the move and having the Pokémon practice using the move until it has mastered it enough to use it in battle.
You do not have to meet the entire word count in a single post; you can spread it out as much as you like. Just be sure to keep track of how many words you spent actively training your Pokémon to use this move; if you try to cheat and use a lot of those words not training your Pokémon and still count them toward the requirement, you may be penalized.
It would help mods a lot if you kept track of the word count yourself and then notified a mod when you meet it so they can check and make sure everything was done right; if you don't keep track by writing the number of words put into training (you can do this at the end of your post), it's harder for the mods to process your success. So please try to remember to help the mods out and post your word counts! (And only count the words used specifically for training the TM/HM!)
Here are the word counts required for learning TMs and HMs:
Any defensive/stat affecting move: 300 words
Any offensive move <50BP: 500 words
Any offensive move between 50BP and 100BP: 750 words
Any offensive move >100BP: 1000 words
Any HM: 1500 words
