Pal is an alien (an extra-dimensional being in the Heisei anime) child who escaped with his best friend from his hometown, which had fallen into the hands of invaders. He has the ability to materialize and control any object he imagines in his mind, but at first he was led to believe that "if he uses his ability, he will die." 009 and his friends teach Pal and the others how to fight, and together they fight off the invaders. However, 003 has a different kind of fear for Pal and the others, who have learned to fight and hurt others, and who have lost their kindness. (Source: Wikipedia)
