Gold Sea Bowl
In some undisclosed and unimportant location, a large, very deep bowl sits in the middle of an uninteresting plain. This bowl, made of a material of a consistency somewhere between gold and mud, is filled to over the brim with a pale, translucent gold liquid, much like water except in its coloration.
The bowl is home to a large amount of life, from kelp that draws nutrients from the odd 'soil' to the Lumineon and Starmie that light up the deeper parts. The local fauna are, on the whole, quite skittish and can be scared away with a simple show of aggression towards them, should you wish for darkness. The trainers and referee are equipped with high-tech rebreathers.

Glad to finally have some variation in her commands, Phoebe eyed Nenya while she swam circles around her; the feebas, though naturally fast, felt so at home in the golden water that she was even faster than normal. So fast it was hard for the dratini to keep up. Hard to even see the feebas. She was moving at unusual speeds - faster and faster and faster until - until there seemed to be more than one of her, she blurred into double images, Nenya couldn't keep up. It must be the confusion. But even as the feebas slowed down there were still doubles; exactly two of them, when Nenya could see straight enough to count them.
Blinking the confusion from her eyes, Nenya allowed the rage to take over once more. God, that damned fish was so cocky, running around like a maniac in the stupid urine tainted aquarium. Idiot. Someone... should teach her... a lesson. Nenya growled and dashed towards one of the feebas, phasing right through the double image as it blinked out of existence. The dratini swirled around in a complete rage, nearly screaming at the original feebas - goddamned thing tricked her!
Her anger was replaced with shock as burning blue flames burst onto her face. They were twice as hot and powerful as before, more than enough to halt her in her tracks. As soon as they died down she coughed and gasped for air; that was. A shock. Stupid fish.
Nenya immediately returned to anger mode, as if the attack took control of her body; she raged forwards, the red flames surrounding her as she slammed into Phoebe. The two collided and separated with the same force as before; when Nenya collected her senses, she was halfway across the tank. Phoebe had nearly crashed into the glass that held the water in. Fun times.
The feebas was quickly growing tired of this. The luck she'd had on that last dragonbreath was a fluke; she needed something to turn the tides, so to speak. But all she had so far were... the same thing. Sigh. She let loose another burst of bluish flames; this time, as opposed to previously, it seemed particularly weak. Perhaps her spirits were affecting it. Nenya certainly didn't care why. Probably didn't notice the difference either.
She found her rage had all but gone on that last attack. Her confusion, too, was nearly gone - no more flashing lights, though the red haze was rather worse now. It was a bit hard to see and everything seemed to look very angry. But she herself was not, not so much as before anyhow. Still, she dug down and found that inner hatred; the hatred soon grew to an outer one, a reddish flame the spread around her as she slammed into Phoebe.
While Phoebe was busy collecting her wits, Nenya found herself to be quite distracted by her skin. It was, for lack of better words, shedding. She swam down to the bottom of the tank and rubbed against the fallen meteorites, and within minutes her skin was completely off. And somehow, she found her headache and confusion had gone with it. Still, both pokemon found they were growing very tired, very fast; one of them was sure to go soon.
