Neither of them so much as look up, but Fie does indeed, have this.
She doesn't Roar Swanna out this time, instead using the brief opportunity to use Nasty Plot, while Swanna's Water-type moves are less effective, earning a Water Pulse all the same, but hanging on to deliver a Dark Pulse, intercepting the next try with Protect, before being brought down by an Aerial Ace.
Fie's answer is a Delphox, which pretty much immediately cleans up Swanna with a Shockwave, leaving Martha on her last pokemon.
She goes with her Dragonair, leading with Aqua Tail as Delphox uses Nasty Plot, the follow-up Water Pulse being blocked by a Protect, before Delphox is sent flying by a Dragon Tail, forcing Fie to switch in Cinder.
This is not especially to Martha's advantage, considering Fie's counter is to order Cinder to use Acrobatics, leading to an absolutely brutal display of athleticism eanding in a jumping, spinning axe kick that you're pretty sure Cinder patterned off watching you practice, which to your eyes, leaves Dragonair's aura well into the red.
Martha shakes her head, before raising her hand like the farmer did earlier and recalling Dragonair, ceding the match.
"You've gotten better." Fie says when they meet in the middle to shake hands afterwards.
"So have you. What was that kick Cinder pulled at the end there?" Martha asks.
"I'll tell you later." Fie assures.
"I'd best be going." Emma says to you, before she leaves while the Judge goes to start helping with cleaning up the gym and locking up for the night.
You join in as well, before heading up to Fie's apartment when you're all done.
