Land of Little Cubes and...Glass?
Oh, that's not right... It seems this place is some strange mix of Nepeta Leijon and Feferi Peixes' Planets. It has three 'states' - one entirely Land of Little Cubes and Tea (LOLCAT), one entirely Land of Dew and Glass (LODAG), and one a mix of both (LOLCAG). The arena randomly shifts between the three between rounds, and the next one should be noted in a round's end notes. They are as follows:
LOLCAT: Has mainly clear weather and yellow-orange tea reminiscent skies, along with a snowy sugary ground. Powder pink teapots with black cats are visible atop the peaks. This land is made up of little sugar cubes, and some are piled into the shapes of hills, while others create large mountains. There are rivers of green tea on this planet with waterfalls of green running down thousands of little cubes.
A Pokemon may eat a cube or two, which takes an action and restores 4% energy, though the Pokemon will loose 5% energy 5 actions after doing so in a sugar crash, if they have not recently eaten a cube. The 5 action timer is reset each time a cube is eaten, so if a Pokemon eats a cube, then eats another 3 actions later, the drop will happen 5 actions after the second. Feline-based Pokemon deal 1% more damage after all other modifiers have been applied, and take 1% less energy to use attacks.
LODAG: Has an underwater castle situated within a gigantic fish bowl with the first gate just out of reach. The rest of the world is covered in tall grass, dotted with colorful glass ornaments or sculptures emerging from the ground. The sky appears to be some sort of fluorescent shell-themed pattern, but made of glass.
The battle takes place inside the bowl, though battlers may attempt to leave. All non-water breathing Pokemon acquire a bubble around their head that allows them to breathe, and through some strange science...magic...game stuff, can swim and attack at normal speed. Fish-based Pokemon deal 1% more damage after all other modifiers have been applied, and take 1% less energy to use attacks.
LOLCAG: Has what looks largely like LOLCAT for terrain, though bits of grass and the odd colourful glass ornaments poke up around the sugar in places. The tea has been replaced with crystal water, and a large glass bowl is set in the middle of the ground full of water, about ten feet wide and five deep. A non-water breathing Pokemon that enters it also gains their bubble as in LODAG, and, strangely, waterbound Pokemon may leave the water by hovering (think in the 3D Pokemon games).
Other: It has already been decided which Pokemon being used, so the ref may skip the sending portion of the battle.

Another rapid switch in arena, and the two pokemon are back on solid ground - or at least as decent a replicate as sugar can make. This means, of course, that Nepeta's whirlpool has been evaporated entirely; the purrloin hisses in distaste, still not satisfied and not willing to show the fact that she's thankful at all. By now she has a pure hatred of water that could rival any fire pokemon.
She bounds forwards towards Feferi, but her mind appears too muddled, either by the changing arena or thoughts clouding her; either way she stumbles and falls, banging her head on the sugar. She groans and gets back to her feet, shaking the dizziness from her eyes slowly. It's too late, though; the pause has given Feferi all the time she needed.
A cascading wave of pink-water crushes down on the purrloin, pressing her into the sugar with surprising and overwhelming force. The worst part, though, is certainly the salt - it seeps into her numerous wounds, burning like live fire, and Nepeta yowls for all her life, clawing at herself and rolling in the dry sugar to try and get the salt out.
She twists suddenly towards Feferi, dark energy sizzling from her claws, and bounds at the fish, slicing at her hide. As always, the wound is less than expected - a thin cut - and Nepeta hisses again, bounding away from the hated fish. But she's too slow in her tired, weakened state; Feferi kicks about, and a final wave rushes Nepeta's way, splashing down on her. The purrloin only has moments to howl in pain before unconsciousness takes her; she slumps down onto the sugary ground, a beaten, bruised and soaked mess. Feferi waits a second before squiggling in glee - she won! She beat the cat! Take that, predators! Hee.
