Hockey Rink
Your NHL-standard hockey rink (if you don't know what that looks like,
here) with out nets. Pokemon are not permitted to leave the rink and go into the stands, though they may stand on the plexiglass surrounding the rink i they so wish (if they fall off on the seating side, they're teleported to the center of the rink).
As the Pokemon are sliding around the ice, moves that require physical contact will have their accuracy reduced by 10%. Any other moves that require the user to produce a large beam, a plentiful amount of flames, etc. will cause the user to be propelled backwards.

Jack straightened himself; as if to express his utter pain, he opened his beak and let out an utterly ear-splitting scream. Izudarati cupped his ears with his palms, but he couldn't stop that noise from breaking in; it wrapped itself around his brain, tapping in and turning his mind to pure mush. He leaned his forehead against his wooden plank, his eyes rolling into his skull; uhg, he just couldn't think through that noise. Jack closed his beak, all anguish freed from his soul, and it was enough - Izudarati's brain was mush.
But he managed, somehow, to clarify his thoughts for the moment. He raised his head, spotted his target and skidded across the ice towards Jack - and slammed his fist down onto the bird. Jack screeched in agony, his very life streaming into the timburr through the impact; Izudarati's grimace of pain from the previous screech turned into a widespread grin as he felt his health replenish itself. He withdrew his fist, gripped his wooden plank; he was back, baby.
Jack rubbed his injured side, whimpering and cawing to himself; he was really not having fun. He coughed a bit, and suddenly a purplish phlegm gurgled from his beak and he spit it all up onto Izudarati's stomach. Izudarati gaped in shock and disgust, swerving away easily on the ice and rubbing the guck off of him - but he felt it seeping into his skin, wrecking havoc on his perfect fighter's metabolism.
He grimaced, his frown deepening. His thoughts were utterly messed - he couldn't straighten them for a second. He head leaned against his plank, and then his body too, and he couldn't straighten himself; Jack sighed with relief upon seeing his opponent twitching and heaving in confusion. Thank god, his supersonic had worked.
The taillow curled up, wrapping himself in his wings in an attempt to shield himself from the cold and gather his wits. He knew the move he needed to use - it was, in fact, very familiar to him - but it seemed to be blocked off somehow. He frowned and tried to access it even harder, but it was simply impossible.
While he continued to try in vain to roost, Izudarati's mind cleared and he shook his head, annoyed. He sighed, relaxed, and slammed his plank with his fist, chopping it right in half. He grabbed the smaller half and began to hack ruthlessly into it, forming a smaller, wooden copy of himself - and finally he held it close to him, and a bright white energy flowed from him to the wooden copy, enveloping it and bringing it to life. The copy stretched and grew and became so lifelike it was near impossible to tell it apart from Izudarati himself, aside from it not having a plank to lean on. Both timburr took a moment to collect themselves, before staring down the taillow they had to bring down - the taillow who was still trying to roost itself back to full health.
