Prologue

15 Years Ago candlewood town

It was midnight outside, the rain was pouring so intensely that you could've barely heard your own footsteps on the ground. In the rain a lone figure in a cloak was running as fast as I could to the building on the far end of town. The figure doing its best to not make a sound for fear of being seen. Finally it was at its destination a building named "Ms. Mystic's orphanage". It was a yellow brick building which resembled and apartment complex a total of 4 floors and an attic. The figure smiles thinking this would go off without a hitch. Until it head the blubbering of its cargo under the cloak. Pulling back the right side of its cloak revealing its red and white fur, the figure sees its payload. An infant zangoose on the verge of crying.

"Don't start now you little piece of shit". The figures voice revealing its female. She gives the kid a nasty look which seems to scare him into silence

"Better" she say slightly relived but still irritated, she turns the knob only to find the door is locked. "I hate my life" she whispers as her previous anger comes back. She spots a fire escape and smirks "Bingo".

She leaps up onto it and climbs the stairs until she finds a window on the second floor. Holding the child under her arm digging her claws under the window she lifts it with ease and jumps inside. Landing gracefully on her feet she spies around the room. She see the head of the orphanage, a gardevoir sleeping peacefully in her bed "perfect" she whispers a smile appearing instead of a smirk coming to her face.

She sneaks past the owner of the building and pulls back her cloak again revealing the child to the outside. Taking the kid in both hands she places him on the bedside nightstand. A cocky smile comes on her face. She sets the alarm on the night stand to 3 minutes ahead and puts it back down next to the child. Soon after she places a note she'd been carrying next to the clock She whispers "bye bye" as she waves to the kid her cocky smile still on her face. Sneaking past the psychic type she leaps out the window and goes down the fire escape. She put her paws in the air and thinks "freedom at last" and bolts of in the opposite direction of the building

Back in the building the alarm sets off frightening the child into crying. The resulting combination of sounds rouse the gardevoir to wakefulness. "No way it can be morning" she looks to her alarm and turns it off. She notices a blurry red and white figure on her nightstand. "Huh?" she says as she reaches forward to the pair of glasses next to the alarm clock. Putting them on the world comes into view and she notices the infant zangoose still crying and wailing. "What the? How'd you get in here?" she gets off her bed revealing her hot pink nightshirt and walks in front of the child she reaches for the kid but stops when she notices the note. Picking the note up the gardevior reads it

It read "I can't keep this kid he's nothing but a problem. You do whatever you want with him because I'm not keeping him. If it's any consolation the headaches name is Noel and I'm not giving a last name because I don't want this kid finding me in the future. Good luck he's your problem now."

She read the paper appalled, crinkling it up she threw it across the room having it land behind the dresser. She turns back the crying zangoose and pick him up. "You poor child being abandoned in such a terrible way." She cradles the kid in her arms her soothing voices seems to calm him. "Well I'll take care of you from now on you won't be left again." Upon looking down at the child she notices a strange black mark on the right side of his neck. It appears to be three thorn covered branches interlocking in a circle. "Weird dirt smudge" she inquires out loud. licking her thumb she rubs it only to discover that its part of the child. "Oh" she says upon realizing her mistake.

She looks at the door way thinking of the route she would have to take to take the child to the room with the other orphans. "I do NOT have the energy for that" she said out loud. She just placed the child in her bed and laid on the opposite side. She held the child close and whispered "good night" to him as she fell asleep. The kid fell asleep with a warm smile. For the first time Noel felt loved

Six years later

Noel was now 7 years old and was doing things on his own. One notable thing was he seemed to stay away from the other children at the orphanage. He was too scared to talk to others. It made him feel awkward. But being alone didn't really upset him. One day while helping Ms. Mystic with shopping he notices a manga shop. The flashy characters and art instantly caught his attention. Ms. Mystic seemed to pick up on this a bought him one. And to this day he's been hooked on these books, reading them any time he could. Of course the other children thought of him as odd for being so withdrawn.

One day a riolu from the group of kids at the orphanage stepped up to him. "H-hi Noel were playing tag and I wanted to know if you felt like playing". Noel closes his manga and looks at the small aura Pokémon, nervousness clear on his face. "Oh uhhh sure but I n-never played before so I hope I'm not a problem nick. The riolu smiled "nah you'll be fine c'mon" he grabs Noel hands and takes him to the backyard. Noel saw the other kids. Alan the machop, Michelle the eevee, Penny the bunery, Aden the aron, Kenneth the snivy, and the twins Ella the plusle and Emma the minum. They all saw Nick and smiled but there faces turn to ones of confusion upon seeing Noel.

Finally after the most intense awkward silence Michelle speaks up "uhh no offense but why is Noel here" people seemed shocked and relived that Michelle finally spoke. "He'll be playing with us" the riolu voices. The kid faces we're still indifferent as they looked at him. Noel finally speaks up after another awkward silence. H-hello G-glad to play everyone" he speaks while bowing his head slightly. Alan quickly gets a smile on his faces. "Well if he's playing he's gotta be IT cus he's a newbie. "Understood" Noel speaks with his usual slight bow. "But like a weirdo like you could get any of us" Alan say with a smug look. "S-sorry" Noel says sounding nervous. Penny face paws "you don't apologize for something like that" "I'm sorry" he apologizes again. This time they all face paws at his response "let's just play" Kenneth say desperate to end this bit. Every one yells simultaneously "OK!"

Just like that the kids form a circle around him. They have 10 seconds to run and get far from him. They all shout "READY!" and get ready to move 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. GO. Noel burst forward going after Penny first she tries to hop away but noel seems so fast she doesn't know when to dodge and is tagged out. He targets the twins next they try to get away by jumping on top of the dumpster But Noel seems to lift it with one hand, tilt it, and catch them both in the other hand. After putting them on the ground he burst toward Michelle and tagged her too. He sees Kenneth next near a tree. As he rushes him the snivy tries to use his vines to climb the tree. But upon reaching the top Noel had already jumped up and beaten him there. Tapping him on the head he leaped from the tree and landed in front of nick and tags him. Looking he sees Aden on the windowsill. Unsheathing his claws he scales the building and grabs him. He then jumps off and lands gracefully on his feet. He then sees his final target. Alan. He runs at him but he hears Alan yell "stay away from me you monster!" Noel stops to a skid in front of him a confused look on his face. "I'm sorry what's the problem" Alan points at the young zangoose "you're a freak no normal pokémon could do what you just did you monster." Noel steps toward him "I'm sorry is there anyway I could…" Alan takes a step back "stay away from me." he turns and runs as the other kids join him. Noel saw all there scared faces, even Nick didn't want to be near him. As he figured that there was no hope of him becoming friends with these people he felt pain. This wasn't the loneliness he was used to. This loneliness was forced upon him and was probably there to stay. He looked down at his paws and thought "am I a monster? A… a demon?"
