Magnemite barely survives the blow. Riolu comes in to flank and attempts to push Breloom away.
Magnemite gains distance and launches a metal bomb at Breloom, blinding him with its shine.

Haunter grasps Ace and gives him a boost, throwing him at his target. The Eevee bursts into motion, leading his charge with a fiery blue blast. He doesn't stop, charging straight into the flames in an attempt to finish the fight with a bite. Jace uses his action to give Ace Strike Again!
Haunter uses his action to Push Ace one square
Ace uses his turn to use Overheat, move, and then make his free attack (Fire Fang)

Otto leaps as the Bisharp hits him, taking damage but using the impact to propel him up. He then grabs Bisharp's head as he falls and slams it on the ground, doing little damage but knocking the Bisharp briefly unconscious.
Meanwhile, Cassie flaps backwards a little before regarding the injured Pawniard. It's defenses and typing make it resistant to most of the teams attacks, so she decides to use an attack that bypasses that, summoning up a miasma of dark energy and firing it at the Pawniard, knocking it down.
Finally, Xander turns to the other Pawniard and gives it another fiery bite.

It does not hit, for Lucario has seen it! Pride would not allow the pokemon to get hit by an attack that didn't hit it in the first place. Unfortunately Lucario would get caught in the aftermath. Before the smoke even clears, Lucario sees Ace's aura through the obscurity and dodges the bite. Lucario howls,"EAT THIS!". A heavy downward chop lands on Ace, the impact was strong enough to displace the remaining smoke.
Lucario;s knees start to buckle, but it leans on a nearby stone waiting for Ace to get back up.
Bisharp's blade/head sinks into the ground as it falls asleep. Blue Pawniard draws attention by attacking Tully with a classic move. Once the move is resolved Pawniard puts its hands in the air as a form of surrender.

Tully squats down and gives the Pawniard a smile. "'preciate the thought, but little advice." Without changing expression, he jabs a knife between two sections of metal. "Don't try to bullshit a bullshitter."

Breloom makes an effort to wrap things up on his end, dealing what he hopes is the finishing blow to Magnemite so he can focus on Riolu.

Riolu goes around Breloom and stands in his way. He holds the line between Ace and Lucario, preventing anyone to intervene.
Bisharp remains deaf to Pawniard's shriek of terror as its plan did not work.

Breloom makes an effort to wrap things up on his end, dealing what he hopes is the finishing blow to Magnemite so he can focus on Riolu. Seeing Riolu surrender, Breloom remains steadfast, making sure that the smaller Fighting type does not interfere. Ace buckles, but he does not collapse. He gets back up from the super effective blow with just as much fire as before. "Finish it Ace!" The Eevee unleashes one more fiery bite, putting the entirety of his weight behind his attack. Jace uses Critical Moment
Ace uses Fire Fang

Lucario's ability Inner Focus prevents it from becoming affected by flinch. It braces the full force of Ace's attack, something is searing from the wound, smells great. Lucario throws Ace off and slowly walks forward for one final aura attack.
Ace and the light quickly fades away from Lucario's eyes as it falls. The remaining Riolu catches the bigger pokemon just in time before it eats the dirt.

Squawking at the stumbling Pawniard, Cassie rams it, confident the blow will take it out of the fight. Meanwhile, the other three gather around the Bisharp, ready for when it awakens. Xander runs up to it, ready to bite. Otto rubs his claws against one another, sharpening them up. And Tully takes out a knife and scopes out the best place to attack. Otto: Standard: Hone Claws
Cassie: Shift: Move to Blue Pawniard Standard: Assurance on Blue Pawniard
Xander: Shift: Move to Bisharp
Tully: Shift: Move to Bisharp Standard: Take Aim

Eventually, Bisharp wakes up to find itself surrounded by enemies. Blades are pointed in every direction, a few moments pass and stomachs growl. Bisharp realizes the futility of a fight with no enemies and sheaths the blades.
Bisharp smirks and gives a sort of 'thumbs up' to Tully.

Tully pauses, looking over the Bisharp. This surrender is certainly more believable than the last one, but he's still not going to leave himself defenseless, but will take a ceasefire if there's genuinely one being offered.
He lowers his blade and waves the others off - if it or anyone else attacks, they'll be ready, but if not, then the battle has been won.

Dinner Time
After helping bring back the fainted pokemon, Jace and Tully finally eat dinner with their pokemon, if they could call it that. A Geodude presents them with packets of the instant food they found in the first aid kit. There was more than enough for everyone as the noodles were boiling over the forge. Everyone else is having actual healthy and cooked broth of sorts. You can't understand them because they're all pokemon, but they seem to be having fun.
On the first bite of the noodles, the team's energy tank expanded and refilled en masse. Jace and Tully remember the exact same thing happening to them after 'fighting' at Travest's gym. Only he had a banquet of different foods and they tasted great... The Foreman comes over to your group with a new smile. "Ya'll like the food? Bet you've had nothin' like it right?"
Roll guile if you want to avoid telling him the cold hard truth

"Sure is somethin' new, I tell ye." Tully replies before immediately moving on, hoping to deflect any comments from Jace. "So that little brawl your 'mon started - you tell 'em to do that or do they just not like our faces?"

"Yeah, it's really-" Jace grimaced. "Somethin'." Ace took a whiff of what Jace was having and made a similar face, sticking out his tongue. Haunter floated above, not one for eating anyway. Breloom was separate from his party, eating with Lucario without complaint.

The foreman pops a big smile on his face, from hearing Tully's answer. "Jeremiah used to eat this all the time! Though it does have diminishing returns, I'm sure everyone will feel like a whole new person once your training is over!"
"I haven't told them to do anything to you two, and I'm sure they don't hate your guts. We just don't see people often here in the mountain and when we do it's either shady gangsters or kids looking to have fun by tearing things up. Testing you two is the only way they know how to trust. They aren't too shy around you know are they?"
A Skamory brings a bowl of broth to the Foreman, "Well if you got anything else you want to ask me then say so now before bed. Since you knocked out a few of my pokemon, they have to rest all day tomorrow. YA'LL CAN WORK THEIR SHIFTS TOO."

Tully shrugs as he continues to eat. "Sure, whatever." The extra work will be tiring, no doubt, but if it doesn't come with any danger, it's fine with him.

The Final Day
Everyone gets up from their nap pretty sore. It doesn't feel like much changed from yesterday except a greater workload. Lucario and Bisharp join you in your work after being bandaged. Once again hours pass and you all eat those instant noodle packets and share a few laughs.
In the morning, everyone feels as good as new! The diminishing returns from the noodles was enough to make everyone grow considerably. The foreman kicks you out of his forge to wait for Jeremiah outside. A few moments later you hear a roar in the air followed by asanine screeching, that's him. "Yo! How did the training montage go?" Jeremiah says as Flygon descends.
Lucario and Bisharp burst down the twice broken wooden door. Carrying a bag as if they were going on a trip, they boldly look at Jace and Tully as they walk to Flygon.

"Yeah, it actually went really well." Jace felt like a new man, and his pokemon likewise seemed to have changed. Especially Haunter, whom he evolved last night into a Gengar. He felt ready to tackle whatever was coming next.
And then Lucario showed up, which only made things better. "I was wondering when you'd be showing up," he teased. "The road ahead is not going to be easy or short, it will be good to have another strong pokemon like you along for the ride."

Tully walks along side Jace, rotating his shoulder to work out a kink. "Yeah, weren't easy or nothin', but as trainin' goes, lot better than jus' gettin' into fights. Less stabbin', at least." He looks over to the Bisharp. "Present company excepted, course. You comin' along? Great! Jus' let us have a quick trainin' session with you 'fore we start battlin' - show us how you do things and we show you how we do things."
