Unfortunately, her Ponyta was shaken up enough that the mud made direct contact with the horses eyes and she nanned disapprovingly, rearing upwards and kicking back down. “Oh no!” Lily cried out hearing her Ponyta’s expression of discomfort. Reaching down her fingers glided along her horse’s pokeball ready to pull the Pokémon back and admit defeat with her. 

“Wait…” She said to herself as her hand stopped for the ball. “Ponyta use FireSpin… on yourself!” She cried out, “Keep the air and ground around you hot so you can recover!” The Ponyta responded and reared up again, this time it opened its mouth and shot out a rather large string of fire. The first circled around the horse until it had created one intensely hot pillar surrounding the horse. 

“Bring your Diglett in there and he’s bound to be toast. Either that or stomped right back into the ground.” Lily called out as the pony flicked its head back and forth in an attempt to get rid of the mud from its eyes. She wasn’t sure how long the recovery period would take or if Desmond had something up his sleeve for the Diglett to use. This… this was quite interesting indeed.
