The Book of Mal

 

Mal is the illegitimate child of Leaf's father, resulting from an affair. Taken in by him and his wife, Mal has a lonely and miserable childhood, made only bearable by his half-sister Leaf. Soon, he is taken from there by Leaf's uncle, adopting the name of Thrones, and his memory fading away until he is all but raised as Leaf's cousin and remembers nothing but vague memories of pain and misery and indistinct faces. Soon, he sets out on his own pokemon journey, and ends up on a twisted tale to find out about Leaf's death and his disturbing family ties.
