[It looked like training was winding down to a conclusion. A short hand signal was enough to indicate to his Galvantula to halt its onslaught of attacks, the yellow spider returning to take a break from acting as a living eight-legged taser. Maybe using such a high levelled Pokemon had been harsh on the pair. Even so, Shino was not one to go easy on anyone, and Hinata would probably appreciate it anyway. Although she would be at a disadvantage, he didn't think his teammate would let that deter her from trying her best. Hopefully her hardwork would pay off in her upcoming battle!

Over the past months, shinobi had come and gone. If the Fourth Hokage and a dead Uchiha could appear in Johto, he wouldn't disregard the possibility of his own team showing up - and, well, the fact she was standing across from him now was enough confirmation. Shino was grateful to be able to spend time with a teammate and good friend as Hinata. He'd been doing his best to help her adjust and volunteered himself as a training partner. Kiba and Akamaru were absent, Kurenai too, but there was a kind of familiarity in it all regardless.

Shino returned his hands to rest in his pockets.]

Perhaps we should stop for today. Why? Because any experience gained would not be much use if your Pokemon is tired out.
