[Oh, that's his boy. Hijikata doesn't bother concealing his satisfied smirk at Shoto's single-handed disablement of all the magical missiles coming at them and immediate engagement with the enemy. The tiger monster shatters before it can really process what's happening. You're marvellous, Shoto-kun. You're much stronger than me.]

Now, now. Guarding me is Hinobuta's job.

[He likewise lets his own pokémon out of its ball after hopping on land from the anchored boat (and casually letting some incoming fireball attacks impact in a firewall of his own). The massive Emboar seems assured by the familiar faces - its full household is here! - and not at all intimidated by the monsters and the elemental magic flying around.]

Well, Shoto-kun, I hope I'll be done when you are. It'd be embarrassing otherwise.

[He sure is being cocky about this battle... but really, Shoto is amazing at freeze-flame-exploding anything made of rock, so those stone monsters don't stand a chance! Hijikata can only hope to get rid of the winged dinosaurs at roughly the same pace.]

Hinobuta, let's go!

[He and his Emboar are both fireproof, and while that presumably also applies to the dragon-like monsters, they have some additional surprises in their arsenal.]
