Absol's past prior to her debut is unknown. The only thing known is that she grew up around a village near Route 10 and her species were absolutely hated there.
Absol appears in Absol, the Curse of the Disaster! where she is the prime suspect to a town near Cyllage City that hates Absol. When Scarlett and Bailey arrive at the town and Bailey is captured Absol jumps in and saves Scarlett before she is caught too and takes her to safety.
While going back to save Bailey, Absol teams up with Scarlett's Zorua. After saving Bailey, Scarlett offers Absol a spot on her team, so she can get away from the village that still hates her. It didn't take long for Absol to accept the offer.
Personality and characteristics
Even though the people hated Absol and would always try to scare it away, Absol still ventured down to try to help. During the times she would venture down to try to help, the town would often call Trainers to try to catch her, that in turn, would help Absol learn moves to defend herself.
