Seeing as how it's been about seven months since the last time we did this, it's high time for another...


TEST DRIVE MEME!

Post with the characters you're thinking of apping in to see how they do! Either they've been here a while, are just arriving, or anything you want!

Have fun!

hinataa!! I hope this is okay. ;v;

[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.

it's totally okay.

[Despite the disadvantages she clearly suffered going in Hinata was grateful that Shino didn't give her a break simply because she possessed a lower leveled party. She wasn't going to be someone that got by simply on favor, she worked hard training Oshawott and she would have been quietly affronted had the match been less challenging. It reminded her a lot of the training regimens she'd put herself through after becoming a genin.

Calling back her Oshawott, she smiled at her teammate. It was good to know that so many familiar faces were here, even if others were missing. It made the adjustment process smoother to have others she could ask questions or receive instructions on how to best go about this strange badge quest she was expected to complete or what to do with the egg voucher she had.]

Mm. Thank you for training with me, Shino-kun. I hope this wasn't keeping you from anything else you wished to do.

[He mirrored her action, recalling Galvantula back into its ball. There was a multitude of differences between this place and what they'd known as home. The Pokemon thing, for one.

Once upon a time (it might have been filler idek anymore), Shino had suggested she should find an interest or something of her own to pursue. It wasn't quite Konoha, but there were a number of things to busy oneself with here too. It was fairly straightforward of him to train bug-types instead of his kikaichu. Or catching butterflies. Whatever he did on his days off. And although his kikaichu were sorely missed, it wasn't a huge jump to make the adjustment, dedicating most of his time to raising them as a means of defense for himself and his friends.

To Shino, time spent in good company was just as important as other duties. Of course he didn't mind taking some of that time to see Hinata.]

You should know that it was no trouble. [pause for NAZENARA:] The reason is... it is only natural for teammates to help one another.

[She had hobbies, but they were more solitary in nature, and right now she liked the company of her friends from right now. She liked to think she was adjusting well to her new surroundings and was capable of going off on her own even if to just explore, it was just nice to be around a teammate. There were few others that knew her as well as he did. And later she would practice her taijutsu as she did a few times week despite the lack of chakra.

She just worried sometimes that being pulled from home she'd fall back into old patterns she tried so hard to break and as a result was relying a great deal more on Neji and Shino than she had.]

I know, do you have any other plans for today? [He's known her long enough that he can probably tell she isn't feeling entirely sure about his logic right now despite how sound it is, but she doesn't make a fuss. She isn't one to voice her worries aloud if they only have to do with her own insecurities.] We could see if the PokéMart has gotten anything new in stock if not.
