Season 25, Week 3
Palom
(Final Fantasy IV) 		 
Palom's something of a hero in the Duelling League. Just last week, he struck a blow for common sense everywhere when he took down the unspeakbly vile Rinoa with the power of his black magic. Of course, The Little Black Wizard That Could is still a brat; it won't take long for most of the duellers to get annoyed with the mouthy kid again. But that doesn't matter when you're as strong as he is. With all kinds of powerful damage in the form of high-grade magic, and some of the finest status magic in the universe, Palom makes the strongest of Lights wince. While he's not the toughest of fighters, his body can withstand Louise's laughable assault long enough to fry her with any of his very deadly spells.

 Few would have bet on Lady Louise of Etruria to put together consecutive wins, even in Light, but this week she might just beat the odds. While Palom is certainly a respectable fighter, he plays to all of Louise's strengths (such as they are). She has competent enough resistance to shrug off any one of Palom's spells, although she probably doesn't have to, because she's fast enough to double her sluggish foe, and Palom, being the young child that he is, has been known to faint at the first sign of punishment. And while two unanswered arrows from Louise's Silver Bow might be better punishment than the brat deserves, there is little doubt that they will be enough to give the Etrurian sniper her second win.

Ahhh, Louise.

She loves children. Dotes on them, in fact.

When she learned her opponent was a child, she determined that she had to talk the sweet little boy out of fighting. Armed with this determination, she marched into the arena.

Palom promptly gave her a six-swear-word commentary on her bust size and hit her with Flare before she could open her mouth. She was knocked cold.

Naturally, that was the end of the match.

However, it wasn't the end of Louise's determination.

Namely, to make Palom behave like a sweet little boy. Like he should.

Several days later, with Porom's help, she's got him chained up and gagged, but she's still hoping to withhold the cattle prod.

It's probably a vain hope. But hey, he's swearing less through the gag now.

Pent is just ignoring the whole situation, showing that the title of Sage is truly earned, for him.

Palom: 53
Louise: 31

Gatewalker
Palom is a prodigy. Just ask him, he'll be happy to tell you. He's so smart that he has never needed to study for a single test in his life. So smart, that he already knows every tactic he needs to beat his opponents, there's no need to plan(no matter how much Porom tells him to). After all, he's a prodigy.

Well, his plan, or lack thereof, kind of backfired on him when his initial Firaga missed. Attack spells...don't...miss...!!! Why!? Why did this happen!? How could it!? It seems that the self-proclaimed prodigy had forgotten that Fire Emblem characters are allowed to dodge magic.

Standing there dumbfounded, Palom let out a streak of explitives that would make a sailor blush, and a child shouldn't even know.

Hearing this, the Lady Louise just couldn't let that stand, and gave Palom a sound spanking right there in the middle of the arena, much to the amusement of the crowd.

After the match, which the judges awarded to Louise, the young mage was subjected to an even greater indignity: his sister's endless chourus of "I told you so".
