"Ice Shard!" Ashley called out as Crystal finished up her routine by firing several shots of ice at the trees. Each one was right on target...even the one that shot at a trainer about to pass by the target tree.
"Look out!" Ashley called out as the blond boy saw the Ice Attack and avoided it.
"What the hell? You trying to freeze my block off!" The boy yelled, shooting the girl a glare. Next to the boy was a Persian who began to growl at Ashley and her team.
"S-sorry! I was just training for the Contest and..." Ashley began to explain before the boy cut her off with a hand gesture.
"Oh, so you're a Coordinator?" The boy asked, seemingly intrigued. Ashley took a close look at the boy: he had blond hair shaped as a bowl cut, a grey suit with black undershirt, blue tie, grey pants and black shoes. Pretty fancy getup for someone walking through the woods.
"Yeah, gonna compete in my first Contest today. I'm excited!" Ashley said with a big smile, matched by her team, but this caused the boy and his Persian to laugh.
"Ah a novice, that explains everything." The boy said with a smirk.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ashley said with a frown. She didn't like this way he made that comment.
