Shoto is so fast, so deadly, he's like a force of nature all on his own, not really needing his Incineroar's backup, a beautiful snow- and firestorm. Hijikata leaves it to Hinobuta to counter the dinosaur monsters' fire- and wind attacks for now, letting the Emboar show off its own prowess so he can stay still and indulgently watch his precious mentee. It's very unlike him, who normally loves the adrenaline rush as he charges at the enemy, but in this situation, Shoto is so distinctly above the curve, he feels like he can afford it just this one.]
Oh, in that case, I'll wait for you.
[And it's not as if he'll have to wait long. Those stone beasts would be frightful adversaries to any regular person, and even a practised mage might struggle, depending on how the elemental distribution shakes out, but against Shoto's specific skills, they don't stand a chance. It's like this is just training for him.
At a squeal from Hinobuta, he finally turns around to help. It seems like the dinosaurs decided to launch an all-out attack: A half-dozen of them are flying at man and pokémon, readying a storm of their own, meant to blow them away and slice them up in the process. Hijikata once more raises a wall of fire, and the impact of the cutting gales makes it wildly flare out before the sheer force of the impact rips it asunder.]
