How can I save a Pokemon I want to keep so I can restart the game (without using the Pokebank)?

I found out that male customization sucks in X/Y, so I'd like to start over as a female character.
However, I got Absol from Wondertrade and I'd like to keep it on the new save. I know that you can use Pokemon bank, but my family doesn't allow me to "buy" it.
So my question is how can I do so without Pokemon Bank?

Can you reset a Pokemon game?
Unfortunately, Pokemon games only allow a single save file on each game card. If you wish to start a new save file, you must clear your previously saved data first. To do this, Press UP + B + X at the Main Menu. You will be given confirmation notices before the data has been permanently deleted.Can I put my Pokemon in Pokebank and start a new game?
For a short answer, yes. As long as the Pokemon remain in the Bank beforehand.Pokemon Bank Discontinued and Free with 3DS \u0026 WiiU E-shop closing.
