You entered a pretty high standard battle facility, this was where Ace trainers and those alike could meet up and battle to sharpen their skills. Truly it wasn't a place for beginners. But as eyes draw to you as the newest trainer there are murmurs that are broken when one trainer in particular walked right up to you.
"You're new here no? You must be pretty skilled to be able to stand with the likes of us, but I wonder how strong exactly. My names Estrid, I'm an Ace Trainer.."
She grabbed a pokéball sending out her Absol that took its spot next to her. This was her Ace pokemon.
"How about a break the Ice battle to warm us up? If you're up for it anyways. I can tell you're skilled"
She seemed genuine, not wanting to test you to assert she was better, but out of actual sportsmanship.
