"Don't! The Ringmaster loves that thing!" A big blue-and-white blur streaks through the air and caroms feet-first off the trunk, shoving the exeggutor hard enough to make its top sway and its legs and feet shuffle so it keeps its balance. Julien flips in the air and with a few confident wingbeats circles Coco at a dizzying speed, keeping close enough to be sure of keeping its attention. "Please don't piss her off. Just go, I can distract it!"

He's quite confident of his ability to avoid being hurt by the big tree monster. Yes, it's surprisingly fast, but he's faster and extremely agile. The range of its... hammer... nut... heads is easy for him to track and to his eye it telegraphs its swings with tension down low near its base.

Of course, Julien hasn't been to Alola and doesn't know that Coco, while more a physical fighter, still knows some ranged attacks.
