Absol's past prior to his debut is unknown. The only thing known is that he grew up around a village near Cyllage City and his species were absolutely hated there.
Kalos Arc
Absol appears in Kalos 13:Curse of the Disaster! where he is the prime suspect to a town near Cyllage City that absolutely hate Absol.
When Scarlett and Bailey arrive to the town and Bailey is captured Absol jumps in and saves Scarlett before he is caught too and takes her to safety.
While going back to save Bailey, Absol teams up with Scarlett's Eevee who helps power up some of his moves with her Helping Hand. After saving Bailey, Scarlett offers Absol a spot on her team, so he can get away from the village that still hates him, even though he hasn't done anything. It didn't take long for Absol to accept the offer.
