Ponyta -Episode 1 Zane and Squirtle have been walking aimlessly for days now looking for any type of civilization. They have just left the tree in which he had awoken from. Neither of them have eaten in days, yet find the strength to move on. Zane moves with a much faster pace than Squirtle. He feels there is no need to stop, until he hears his Pokemon say something in a very low, weak voice. "Squirtle Squirtle," he hears. Zane stares at his Pokemon and realizes the exhaustion in his voice. "Ok Squirtle, we can take a break," he says. Watching his Squirtle fall to the ground, he realizes that he hasn't eaten in a long time. "Squirtle, get in the Pokeball so that we can keep on going. We can go get some food if we go on," says Zane. Squirtle, barely able to walk, gets into the Pokeball. Zane walks for hours, until he finally sees a tree full of red apples. A slight smile spreads across Zane's face, as he sees that the tree is being guarded by a Ponyta. "Wow," he says, "a Ponyta." The Ponyta slowly rises, its mane and tail full of bright red blazes of fire. Staring at the Ponyta fiercely, he throws his Pokeball towards the Ponyta, releasing his partially healed Squirtle. "Squirtle Squirtle, Squirtle Squirtle Squirtle" he says, looking back towards Zane. "It's a Ponyta," Zane says, "Its hooves are ten times harder than diamonds, and it can trample anything completely flat in little time." A sudden look of fright spreads across Squirtle's face, but realizing his master Zane needed to eat, he immediately dives towards the Ponyta.
