Gespenst's raging Energy Ball struck home, but instead of an explosion of natural power it splashed off his foe's exterior.  As her Pokemon picked himself up to return to a ready position, Olivie clasped her hands behind her head again and regarded the Roggenrola's metallic exterior with a degree of respect.  So, it wasn't a complete pushover.  Anything that could turn itself into a living hunk of metal might very well spell trouble for a combatant who relied on plants to attack.  Her worries proved ill-founded, however.  When she looked again, the steely sheen had disappeared from the rock's body, leaving it no worse for wear physically but definitely a touch more worn out.  At least, Olive guessed so, based on its movement.  Not much could be gleaned by staring at the stolid creature's countenance.  His Pokemon having overcome the attack, Azerus commanded his Roggenrola to take the offensive.  At its trainer's voice, the stony beast's spirits seemingly flared once more, and with surprising speed it moved to smash Gespenst's head with its own.

[color=954535]”Now's your chance!  Take this hit and then return the favor with Needle Arm!”[/color]  Olivie smiled wildly and raised a fist as she forbid her partner to defend himself.  Without protest or movement of any kind, Gespenst unflinchingly received the Roggenrola's headbutt.  The blow caused him to stagger backward, gurgling in dismay at the unexpected pain, but before he stumbled out of range the Cacnea's expression hardened.  With a noise like an axe burying its head in wood, his arm spikes doubled in length.  A guttural snarl rang out as he swung both arms down in an overhead slam, seeking to put his opponent out of commission with all the strength he had left (6/6 EP).  He was, by all accounts, terrible about budgeting his energy.
