I have a Pidgeot with Fly, if it comes down to a battle in the air around the train. She's not much good in close quarters, but the wide open sky is something else entirely.

[But the mention of Fly is deliberate, and comes with a double connotation: there's a viable escape route available, if it comes down to the worst. Not that it's an option he's interested in pursuing, but it's always good to be prepared.

And the strategy implicit in Cooper's words is...interesting. And very much appealing to Yagyuu's sensibilities; he's not one to pull his punches when provoked, and the fact that Cooper seems open to the idea of sending their attackers falling...well, that's one more note of respect he's earned in Yagyuu's book.

Meanwhile, Arsène has taken it upon himself to shift into a deceptively high-powered Pidgey, and Lady is sparing a moment to examine the Eevee that has joined their forces. Under normal circumstances, that inspection might've resulted in a dismissive flick of her tail, but she knows a battle situation when she's called into one and that earns the Eevee a pass in her book.]

We'd best get to work. It won't take long for this car to fill with gas if we dawdle.
