Arena: Dusky Bridge
A long, narrow, rickety old suspension bridge spanning the Eagle River, roughly long enough to take two actions to cross from one side to the other. The battle takes place in the middle of the bridge, with the trainers each positioned on opposing sides. A handrail will prevent Pokémon from falling or being knocked off. At the beginning of the third round, lightning will strikethe bridge, setting it on fire; Pokémon will have until the end of this round to escape the bridge to either end before it collapses, dumping any Pokémon still on it into the Eagle River. Anything that falls into the river cannot be reclaimed, so the Pokémon will be knocked out if this happens. The battle will then move to the cliffsides the bridge connected; if the Pokémon are on opposite sides, only projectile attacks will connect, and due to the distance they need to travel and the heavy snowfall obscuring the view across the canyon, these attacks' accuracy will be reduced by 25%. Alternatively, if they end up on the same side, obviously one will be very far away from their trainer and there is a 25% chance this Pokémon won't hear whatever commands it is given. On the sixth round, Godot and Detective Gumshoe will arrive to repair the bridge; anything that touches the bridge (accidentally or otherwise) between then and the time it is finished will cause Godot to throw a mug of scalding coffee at whoever touched it or used the attack that hit it, dealing 5% typeless damage, inflicting a burn, and reducing Defence by 1 level due to the cuts dealt by shattering china. By the ninth round, the bridge will be finished, and the events will repeat themselves from there onwards (lightning strike/bridge collapse on round 12, Godot and Gumshoe arrive on round 15, bridge is fixed on round 18, etc.)
Arena status: Hail is falling on the battlefield (12 more actions); the snowing is over. A thick fog is hanging over both cliffsides (6 more actions). The bridge has burned out and collapsed; thus, Pokémon must attack each other with projectiles.
-----
While further commands were issued -- Metallica Fanboy could not work out how come Nenya could hear them while confined to her icy predicament -- the detective was checking the bridge's condition, when suddenly, his phone rang. sreservoir saw a white-haired man with a strange manner of mask on come nearby, holding his own mobile by his ear.
"Good evening, detective."
"Godot, sir! Um... What do you want?"
"This fog is as dark as coffee... You could use some help dealing with this bridge."
"What do you mean, pal?"
"Ha! I'm at the other side of the river."
"... How did you get there, pal?"
"That doesn't matter right now. Do you have some wooden boards with you? Because the original ones are too badly damaged to be reused."
"The precint is gonna to send some over. What do we do until then, pal?"
"Let's see if we can straighten the rails again."
As the bridge fixing operation began, the battle went ownards. Kay tried to enter a state of deep focus, but the black haze was too ennervating to allow her to do it so easily, not to mention pulling an old bridge back from being on fire was quite a noisy procedure.
Meanwhile, across the chasm, the Dratini tried to use Rest, but she couldn't get her numbened body to cooperate with her mind. Instead, she began trying to shed the frozen skin. Not the hardest task ever, since Pokémon of her species naturally do it every now and then as a means of curbing absurd levels of life force and promoting growth. It would require some degree of effort to manipulate this mecanism, though, since it usually works automatically.
For a while, the sitaution was very much unchanged. The Sneasel still failed to use Calm Mind, while the dragon pup eventually suceeded in reverting her troublesome situation. When she finally managed to slip away from her old, deep blue skin, the leapt upwards, smashing through the thin sheet of frost that surrounded it.
Now seemingly thinner and more reddish, the serpetine creature laid down on the snowy ground, closing her eyes and obtaining a light blue aura as her blood began to flow faster, healing off the damage caused by the extreme exposure to cold that had been occouring.
That was Kay Faraday's cue to use a different move. Once more aiming through the thick fog, she blasted a strong gale of terribly low temperature, which raced from one cliff to another to hit the gleefully sleeping target. That did not even seem to mind it that much.
The referee turned around to notice how amusingly flustered the hailstorm made the detective while he worked on the bridge.

Additional notes:
- I didn't consider resting in the ice as being possible -- after all, Nenya can't even feel most (if not all) of her body, let alone heal it. Not to mention Rest's A&A guide description bases it on stimulating the natural healing process, which I'm pretty sure is slowed down considerably or altogether halted in case of freezing.
- Shed Skin cured Nenya's freezing at the second action.
- Mike the Foxhog attacks first next round.
