Transfering Items Between Inventories

[Rink27]

Alright, so I would like to implement a system where the player has to decide which items to carry into battle with. So, say the player has an inventory of 20 items... they'd have to select 4 items only to enter battle with.

I was looking at the Multiple Inventory plugins by Hime and thinking I'd have a secondary inventory for battle only. The player would send the 4 items to this inventory and switch to this for the battle only (and then merge them afterwards).

However, I'm not sure how to transfer items between inventories to pull this off. Anyone has an idea?

When I asked for any ideas, I didn't mean specifically for Hime's scripts in case there was another method I could utilise alongside Hime's or something completely different that accomplishes both. However, I apologize for not explaining myself better and putting this in the right section. Also edited my previous comment to include the link.

So I was trying to find out about how "Select Item" can be utilized and came across this:
http://crackedrabbitgaming.com/guides/rpg-maker-mv-tutorials/ideas-for-the-select-item-command-rpg-maker-mv-tutorial/

Is this possible?
> Ask the player to select an item from their inventory. Store the ID # of this item into a variable.
> Repeat this for three other variables storing the ID # of an item.
> Match these ID #s in these 4 variables and add the relevant items into a new inventory.
> Switch to the new inventory for the battle.
> Merge inventories after battle.

I'm not sore how to obtain the ID #s and obtain items accordingly though.

EDIT: So with Select Item and this script code:
$gameParty.loseItem($dataItems[$gameVariables.value(28)], 1);

I can get the player to select an item to be lost. Can I use a similar script code to re-gain this item? I repeated the code with "add" instead of "lose" but got an error. Guess that's not the proper code.

EDIT 2: gain* instead of add in "$gameParty.gainItem" works!

Okay, so now I can do: 

> Ask the player to select an item from their inventory. Store the ID # of this item into a variable.
> Repeat this for three other variables storing the ID # of an item.

And working on atm:
> Match these ID #s in these 4 variables and add the relevant items into a new inventory.
