Down for the count!  Chipped, battered, and beaten, the Roggenrola sagged to the ground before disappearing in a flash of light.  Olivie and Gespenst shared a moment of elation, but rather than belt out another taunt at her opponent, the brunette took the opportunity to tell her Cacnea, [color=954535]“Don't celebrate just yet.  Face down what's coming with nerves of steel.”[/color]  A hint of resignation traveled through her voice.  After all, despite his triumph, the grass-type was totally pooped.  When Azerus' second Pokemon came in, he wouldn't be able to defend himself or to give a last-ditch attempt to take it down; he could only accept a knockout blow with a grim, stolid countenance.

The foregone conclusion came about even quicker than Olivie anticipated.  Scarcely had the Roggenrola toppled over before its trainer replaced it, and unlike the ponytailed pebble that preceded it, the anarchist's Rhyhorn was [i]huge[/i].  A flicker of disbelief passed over the brunette's face when she saw it appear and shake the ground as it landed.  With an exterior of solid-looking rock plates, it seemed for all the world like a knight in stony armor, or a living fortress.  It dwarfed Gespenst, and when it charged, there could be no course of action to be run down.  Azerus' Rhyhorn trampled Olivie's Pokemon into the dust.  It cleared a moment later thanks to the cheery Feyhollow breeze, but Gespenst looked just like a pumpkin that someone sat on.  Suppressing her anger, Olivie retrieved him.  [color=954535]”You fought with nothing held back—your entire soul in the fight, and I'm proud.”[/color]  She reached down and grabbed Verrine by the horn, causing her to freeze in surprise, before tossing the Karrablast forward.  As indignant as she was after landing, Verrine realized that she'd been chosen to fight.  As a cat staring at a mouse-hole, the bug-type stood still, watching her opponent calmly and critically.

Instead of immediately issuing an order, Olivie took a second to observe the opposition.  As resolute as Azerus seemed, there was definitely something wrong with his Rhyhorn.  Narrowing her eyes, the girl decided that, somehow, the big goon had already worn himself out.  The revelation made her want to laugh.  [color=954535]”Well, that makes things simple.  Verrine, take it down.”[/color]  Her Karrablast, receiving no specific command, fell back on her instincts.  Not dissimilar to the Rhyhorn, she lowered her head and began a charge of her own.  Her horn became suffused with light green vapor, shaking violently until it exploded outward, doubling in size as it turned into a deadly prong.  Megahorn extended, Verrine hopped into the air and began to spin like a drill straight for the Rhyhorn as she fell (3/6 EP).
