I know the others are trying to save face, but there's no use in denying the obvious.

Painter Vanhanen, commonly known as Noel, is the Normal-type Gym Leader of the Reborn League, the twin brother of Anna, and the son of Radomus and Zina. He hands out the Standard Badge, the 7th Gym Badge the player receives.

Noel is usually stoic and is a bit more of a realist compared to his cheerful twin sister Anna. He is incredibly smart for his age, able to calculate numbers and plan accordingly in seconds. Just like Anna with her Jirachi doll, Noel carries around a Cleffa doll named Nomos (although he says they're not real unlike what Anna says).

Story Events[]

Dr. Connal's Orphanage[]

Noel is an orphan that is first met at the Dr. Connal's Orphanage alongside his twin sister, Anna, as well as Charlotte. Anna introduces him and his Cleffa, Nomos, to the player. Noel then says they're just dolls, but says Nomos said hi to the player. Anna also says he's a gym leader just like Charlotte. He says Laura does not have to stay in the orphanage anymore since she turned eighteen. Charlotte then says you can't leave the orphanage unless you're eighteen or if Dr. Sigmund Connal decides to let you go. Anna shoos the player out when Sigmund comes in, saying to not let Shelly come here.

The player meets Noel again when Cain and Shelly breaks into the orphanage to get Heather back. Charlotte agrees to help them if it means they can get out, and creates a diversion. Noel asks Cain to block the doorway of the circuit so he wouldn't be outnumbered, which Cain comments that he's a smart kid. Noel then gets captured by some orderlies and locked up. The player then frees him and Charlotte gives him his pokemon back after she is rescued.

Once Shelly and the player reach the ECT chamber, Noel and his Clefable can be seen helping Cain and Charlotte to fight Sigmund and two of his orderlies - with the Doctor admitting that he is now outnumbered, however, Charlotte burns him with her cigarette, forcing him to free Heather from the clutches of his Electivire.

Underground Railnet[]

Upon escaping the Dr. Connal's Orphanage, Noel flees to the Underground Railnet with the rest of the group, although they are later captured - with the exception of Cain - by Sirius, who emerges from the basem*nt of the Yureyu HQ after the player persuades Shade to open the door leading there.

Yureyu HQ[]

When Cain and the player eventually enter the Yureyu HQ, Noel is being held in cage by two Team Meteor grunts. Once Cain and the player defeat the grunts, Noel says Anna and Heather are being held upstairs by Sigmund and another guy. He also says that they took an Amethyst Pendant from Anna, a gift along with Nostra and Nomos from their real father when they were put in the orphanage. Charlotte then asks Cain and the player to go deal with them so she can unlock the cage.

Underground Railnet[]

After Anna and Heather are rescued from the building, Noel continues through the Underground Railnet with the rest of the group. They then find that the entrance to the Chrysolia Region is blocked by rubble. Shelly suggest to use a train, and the group finds one only to notice that there are no rails that lead to the rubble. Noel then says that there were twelve switches, and if they ignore dead ends and broken rails, the number of possible combinations are reduced from 46,656 to 8. Cain asks how he knows that, which Noel replies that it was obvious (which Cain replies back no, it was not).

Anna asks the player to find the combination and tell Noel to check it over. After getting the right combination, they took control of the train and broke through the rubble, emerging in the Chrysolia Region.

Belrose Manse[]

Upon exiting the train, Charlotte leads the group to Belrose Manse - the family home of her and her sisters - via Tanzan Mountain. Noel then notices that Anna doesn't feel well (although Anna claims its Nostra that doesn't feel well) and later asks Laura if Anna can lie down somewhere.

Charlotte tasks the player with going to Spinel Town to collect some medicine for the ailing Anna. Following Anna's recovery, Anna asks Noel to have a gym battle with the player. He replies that its not a good time but Anna says otherwise. The player then challenges Noel to a gym battle, which is interrupted by the arrival of her oldest sister, Saphira. Saphira instructs Anna, Charlotte, Shelly and Noel to get inside, tasking Laura and the player with defending the house before going to fight Team Meteor on her Dragonite.

At this point, the game branches into 4 paths, with one of the paths resulting in Noel and Anna being captured by Team Meteor. If they are captured, the player will venture with Saphira and free them with Gargantuan Steelix. If Saphira, Laura or Shelly and Charlotte are captured, the twins stays at Tanzan Cove to await the player's return.

After the player returns from the Meteor Base, Anna suggest they finish Noel's gym battle with the player. Noel and the player have a gym battle, with the player victorious. Laura comes back and Anna asks everyone to come inside. Noel then asks the player to go in a different room to talk. He says that there is a slim chance that Saphira survived and won't make it back. He asks the player to find her in Tanzan Mountain to conform her survival, since he's not going to wait for her to come back. The player later finds Saphira, and she says she'll take the group to Calcenon City while giving the player the Ruby Ring and Amethyst Pendant.

Calcenon City[]

He is next seen in Calcenon City, along with Anna, Charlotte, Shelly, Laura and Saphira. Cain explains that they need to Ametrine City, but it is blocked by an ice block. Anna suggest they need to go under it, and Noel says you need TMX Dive to do that, which is at Agate Circus. After getting activating TMX Fly, Cain and Hardy says the twins went missing and that they are looking for them (the player as of now can't look for them yet).

Glass Workstation[]

After getting the Torrent Badge, the player goes back to Calcenon City to search for the twins. They then explore Route 4 with Hardy after obtaining TMX Rock Climb. They then discover the Glass Workstation, and it turns out that the twins were sleeping in chambers the whole time. The player tries to get him out, but Noel says they need to stay because Anna and Nostra told him to, and that Anna is who the player wants to see instead. He then continues to sleep in the chamber.

Radomus, Luna, Serra and Gossip Gardevoir then come into the Glass factory and meet Anna and Noel. It is revealed that Noel and Anna are the children of Radomus, and that Noel's real name is 'Painter Vanhanen'. The twins went to the Glass Workstation so they would switch places with Lumi and Eve. They all then go back to Calcenon City with the player, although Noel doesn't seem too thrilled with reuniting with his father, even distancing himself from him.

Calcenon City[]

Back at Calcenon City, Noel sits besides Anna, watching his father amuse his sisters with his various costumes. He tells the player that finding their father was pointless, as he didn’t expect it would entail his father’s antics.

After Team Meteor has been driven out from Agate City, Anna leaves Radomus and Noel. Radomus then begins to dote on Noel. Noticing this, Noel asks him why he’s doing that, and points out that Radomus always focuses on Anna. Radomus tries to deny it, but Noel tells him he’s used to only being spoken to when his sister isn’t with him. Noel claims there’s nothing special about him, save for him being forgettable.

Shortly after, Noel asks the player if they think one decides or feels who’s important to them. If the player answers “Feel”, Noel says his father doesn’t feel that way about him. He thinks this isn’t fair. If the player answers “Decide”, Noel instead says his father hasn’t made that decision yet. Therefore, Noel chooses not to need Radomus.

Thanks to Bennett’s plan, the barrier to Labradorra City is eventually disabled. However, while the other Gym Leaders (as well as Lumi, Eve, Cal, and Victoria) go forward, Noel stays behind. He explains to the player that he doesn’t think he’s crucial to anyone’s plans, or that he has any stakes in the fight against Team Meteor. He will provide assistance, but to him, it’s not the same.

Labradorra City - Labradorra Arena[]

During the battle of Labradorra, Noel sights the player facing down Zero and PULSE Clawitzer. He decides to go help them, after seeing one of the PULSE’s shots flying over the player’s head. His arrival fares badly for him, however, as Zero immediately makes him the PULSE’s next target. Before Noel even realizes what’s happening, Radomus climbs up to the roof, runs up to him, and attempts to shield him from the blast. This doesn’t end his father, however, as Shade sacrifices Nomos to save Noel. Radomus immediately asks him if he’s alright, and Noel tells him he is. Nomos’s sacrifices has confused him as to the true nature of his doll. Radomus realizes Nomos was not what he seemed at all, but Noel doesn’t understand still. As two New World Cultists rise up to challenge Noel and Radomus, the latter asks him if he’d do him the honors of fighting with him, side by side. Wether it be as father and son, or as equals, Noel agrees, and together they defeat the Cultists.

With the battle over, Radomus against asks Noel if he’s okay. He assures him he’s fine, but still finding it very difficult to understand what just happened, as well as understand Radomus. His father replies that Nomos was very likely far more real than either of them could comprehend or accept. It is clear that he was real enough to save them both. With this in mind, Radomus asks Noel if love couldn’t be the same way. Neither of them know the answer, but Radomus invites Noel to find the answer with each other.

Lumi soon arrives, looking for Zero. The two of them leave the building, and Radomus beckons his son to do the same. Yet, Noel stays for a brief moment. He begins to understand that Anna’s visions may have been true, and that just because he can’t see something doesn’t mean it’s not there. He wonders what else he’s missing, and, determined to find out, he follows Radomus out.

After the battle is over, Noel gets trapped in Labradorra Arena, and along with several other Gym Leaders, forced to participate in Terra’s tournament. For the first round, he gets set to fight with Serra against Hardy and Radomus. Before the battles begin, he tells the player having to fight his father doesn’t feel right under the present circ*mstances, but doesn’t feel bad, either. It gives him a feeling without a word for it, which he relates to smells. He explain that many smells do not have words, and wonders what his current feelings would smell like. Additionally, he voices his desire to invent words for all things that never had them.

During the first round, Terra presents Noel as “Anna v0.3”, to which Noel replies with silence. Despite being on opposite sides, Radomus asks Noel to fight without holding back. At Noel’s questioning, he explains that he’s allowed to fight for himself. But, Noel doesn’t think he and Serra would perform well after winning, so he thinks they should lose to Radomus and Hardy. Noel looses along with Serra, so both of them are “deleted” by Terra. He is eventually freed after the player and Florinia defeat Terra.

Quotes[]

  • "It's too bad. They can't always get what they want." -When sending out last Pokemon.
  • "Well, Nomos... I think they're setting a new standard." -After defeat.
Gym battle speech
Pre-battle speech

[Noel]: Okay. Nomos and I are ready whenever you are.

[Noel]: Like before, I guess, take your place.

[Shelly]: Okay... Okay, this will be a six on six... singles, right? ...battle. Either trainer can make substitutions, and um...

[Shelly]: ...Um, the battle will end when all six of one trainer's Pokemon have been knocked out.

[Noel]: Well, Nomos... do you think they can do it?

[Shelly]: Begin!

Pre-battle speech (Rematch)

Same dialogue as the Pre-battle speech

Post-battle speech

[Anna]: Yay!! Great job, <player>!

If you transformed the field into a Burning Field during the gym battle

[Anna]: Although, isn't it a little insensitive to win by starting a fire? I mean...

[Anna]: I guess as long as Charlotte and Laura don't find out?

[Anna]: It's okay! I won't tell them!

[Anna]: And Nostra says scorched earth is negligible on the overworld anyway... whatever that means!

[Noel]: In accordance with official Reborn League policy, I present you the Standard Badge.

{player receives Gym Badge}

[Noel]: By having the Standard Badge, Pokemon up to level 60 obey.

[Noel]: Additionally, I'm supposed to give you this.

{player receives TM}

[Noel]: I'm sure you know, but Hidden Power's type changes based on the Pokemon using it. It's useful to unlock inner potential... and stuff.

[Noel]: That's all, right?

{Laura enters area}

[Laura]: ......Did I miss something?

[Anna]: <player> just beat Noel for a badge!

[Shelly]: How is Charlotte...?

[Laura]: She's fine...... I think she just needs some time along right now.

[Anna]: What happened?

[Laura]: Um...... Well......

[Laura]: It was a long time ago...... But when Charlotte was very young, there was an accident.

[Laura]: Back then, we all lived together...... Charlotte, Saphira and I...... and mom and dad.

[Laura]: She would sneak out late every night, usually just to play in the garden or stare out at the lake.....

[Laura]: And that was fine, because it was safe here...... But one night, she was playing with her Vulpix and......

[Laura]: ...... Well, as you can see, it's easy for a fire to spread in a place like this......

[Laura]: Saphira woke me up and rushed me out of the house just in time, but...... our parents didn't make it.

[Laura]: Ever since then, it's just been Saphira looking out for us...... Especially after the Doctor took u in...... She's kept us safe for years, at her own loss......

[Laura]: ......I really hope she' safe...... I don't know what I'd do if she-- if she were......

[Laura]: ......I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry...... I'm technically an adult now...... I should be strong like her......

[Anna]: No, it's okay... Cry all you need. Tears are people's way of getting the sadness out of their body.

[Anna]: Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't cry.

[Laura]: Y-you're right...... I'm sorry......

[Anna]: C'mon, let's go inside, okay? Nostra says you'll feel better if you have a snack and sit down.

[Laura]: All right......

Profile[]

Seen on the Profiles channel after obtaining the Rime Badge from Serra
A special report from... the Investigation Squad!

Yo, Reborn City! What's up?! We're here with the Reborn Rundown giving you a look at the leaders of the Reborn League! I'm your host, DJ Arclight, now on air!

Let's talk about Noel. One of Reborn's youngest leaders, this prodigal boy has an arena set up right below the Lapis Ward's orphanage. Noel's got a penchant of frustrating his unsuspected challengers, who suppose either his youth or his Normal type Pokemon will make for an easy match.

Not to be outdone so easily, Noel packs a medley of Pokemon that covers his weaknesses. Including, to the surprise of many, his Clefable! Though Clefable is no longer a Normal type Pokemon, Noel is one of the few Leaders to use a wildcard in his battles. Don't let yourself get stuck on this brick wall of a Pokemon, and do whatever it takes to take it out before it gets cozy in its defensive capability!

By the way, a few of our listeners have asked in the past about just how someone of Noel's age earned a position in the Reborn League. Like any leader, he was referred to the position and passed his qualifying tests-- with flying colors, no less! But just who would refer him to such a position? We'll give you just a small hint! All right, listen closely:

"..."

That's all for now, but remember, Trainers, Keep fighting with everything you've got! Hold your spirits high, and even you can defeat the Reborn League!

Trivia[]

  • Noel's name is a word play on 'Normal'.
    • His other name, 'Painter', was based on a memory from Amethyst's school and a name suggestion for Noel when he was being created (Amethyst also wanted to use Smeargle as Noel's signature as well, but El used it too much in his battles). [1]
  • According to Amethyst, Noel has Asperger's syndrome. [2]
  • Because of his Clefable, Noel is the only Gym Leader in Pokemon Reborn who uses a Pokemon that is not of their specialist type in their gym battle against the player.
    • Although this is because prior to gen VI, Clefable was a Normal type before it was retyped into Fairy.
    • This excludes Ciel's Mega Altaria, who loses its Flying type in favor of the Fairy type after it mega evolves. It also excludes Saphira's Mega Charizard which isn't a dragon type prior to mega evolution but becomes a dragon type when it mega evolves.
