Keith Pokemon Ranger - Blog Posts
"Welcome to the Radiant Garden! What can I do for you today?"
Another day to take care of his beautiful flowers. Even if sometimes customers are ruthless, Kellyn loves his job.
A precious sanctuary that him and Kate managed to build from scratch.
One day, someone new passed through the door to their garden....
----------------------------------------------
A very, VERY late Valentine's Day special. Please forgive my lateness and enjoy !~
Who would have thought that silence could be so overwhelming? Not Keith, that's for sure.
It's not like he could do anything about that however. He had to be patient, like always.
And hope. That's all he had left afterall.
-------------------------------------
Missing scene taking place between "Almia Castle" and "Pain and Tears" of "Way to the Dawn"
Gifts
One day, Sven decided to get his comrades and himself some mugs with quotes on them. If at first it was slightly awkward, now they are seen with them on a daily basis. And for some of them, they even became their favorite mug.
Kellyn:
Keith:
Rhythmi:
Kate:
Isaac:
Wendy:
Sven:
Both of the boys have accessories they love from the bottom of their heart: for Kellyn, it's a bracelet, while for Keith, it's a shawl. Both of these items are gifts they offered to each other quite a long time ago.
For Kellyn, the bracelet Keith offered him became his lucky charm. He kisses it when he feels anxious or is about to start a dangerous mission. This "ritual" allows him to steel himself and gather the necessary strength to move forward. Just like when Keith encourages him and tells him that he believes in him.
Keith him, consider the shawl Kellyn made him as one of his sources of comfort. Each time he feels like his guilt, sorrow, and negative feelings are about to overwhelm him, he wraps himself in it. Most of the time, the warmth coming from the fabric apease him greatly. A warmth wich is very similar to Kellyn's when he gives him affection.
When embarrassed
Kellyn: hides his face with his hands. Or in Keith's neck.
Keith: Turns his head to the side and avoids eye contact.
Rhythmi: Pouts like a child.
Kate: Keeps her head down and fiddle with her hair.
Purr and growl
Kellyn can purr. That's something that surprised everyone at the Union when they heard it for the first time. A low and soft purr, coming from the deepest part of his throat...How adorable!
But, hearing it is quite miraculous since he only purrs when he's feeling safe and warm. Aka, when there's only his close persons in the room.
Or because his boyfriend is cradling him in his arms.
Speaking of Keith, he also surprised the staff of the Union, but not quite for the same reasons as his partner. Unlike him, he doesn't purr; he growls.
Yup. Keith growls. And he traumatized quite the number of people with this ability of his. But, who can blame them? Such a low and deep sound is quite terrifying, especially when combined with his blazing glare, which makes him look like an Arcanine.
....Frankly, if they think that way, that's because they only heard the possessive and/or warning growl. Which he reserves for strangers and jerks of all kinds.
However, he can also growl out of happiness and love. Something that is reserved for Kellyn and nobody else.
Stress Cooking
As he grows older, Kellyn starts to develop Stress Cooking. What is it, you say? It's quite simple: when Kellyn begins to get stressed for whatever reason, he tends to cook.
He doesn't know why, but cooking helps him calm down. Maybe because it makes him focus on something other than his anxiety and stress...? Probably.
Anyway, when he's in Stress Cooking Mode, he makes quite a lot of food. May it be stews ( Cream Stew being his specialty), pasta, croquettes....He cooks a lot. So much that inevitably, he ends up with too much food for him to eat on his own.
What happens in those cases? He gives some of it to his close persons, of course! Said persons who'll never say no to fresh meals cooked with love. Especially not Keith.
...However, he knows. He knows why Kellyn has so much food on his hand that he has to give some to other people. On the one hand, it saddens him. But, on the other hand, it reassures him because it's a healthy way for him to cope with his stress.
So, when it happens, Keith invites him over to his room, and they spend the night together. They usually play games and chat while eating the food that Kellyn cooked. It's sweet, soft, and lovely...Just like a date!
Unlike what others may think, Keith wasn't left unscathed from the Yellow Gem Mission. It's true that he likes to tell that he got over it, and only his pride got wounded, but....That's just a lie. A beautiful lie.
The simple mention of "Hippodown Temple" makes him lose his cool. And when he doesn't have a choice and needs to actually go there...He panics. He starts hyperventilating, his mind becomes a blurry mess, his heart pounds so loudly like it's about to explode...Add to that the painful memories of being kidnapped, manhandled, used as a bartering system that made the mission fail....And you get a huge panic attack in return.
When that happens, he doesn't respond to the world around him anymore and becomes somewhat violent if someone gets a little too close. Only a few people can try to calm him down without risking getting punched, but...Making him snap out of it is pretty difficult.
...Most of the time, he ends up crying himself to sleep or passing out because his brain can't cope with the trauma and guilt. And in those cases...Kellyn is the one taking care of him. Kellyn, whose mind is overflowing with rage and protectiveness. Kellyn, whose aura is different from the warm and shy one usually emanating from him.
Kellyn, who is about to let his Berserker side, take the matter into his own hands.
Sven and Keith: *chatting*
Keith: Welp, I'll be going now. I'm gonna go back to Kell's bedside.
Sven: Alrighty. But, be sure to take breaks and not overwhelm yourself again, Sunshine Boy.
Keith: I know, I know...But thanks anyway, Dad.
Sven:...
Keith:....*slowly realizing before becoming peony red* A-A-Ah!!! S-Sorry! Please forget that I have ever said that!!! *immediately runs away*
Sven:....Welp. I have a son now. *victorious grin* That's one child for me, Sky Queen!
Wendy: *poking her head out the door frame, her eyes glaring at Sven* Don't get cocky cowboy. I won't let you have Kellyn. He's MY babybird!
Sven: Not for long!
For Keith, it may have been the day when he got himself a Dad. But for the seniors Top Rangers, it was a normal Thursday.
"Oh, for the love of Arceus, I'm not letting you go, ever again! Do you hear me?!" - Keith
Alcohol Tolerance
Kellyn very much CAN'T handle alcohol. The poor baby gets drunk with a single shot of the weakest alcohol that ever existed. Usually, when someone manages to make him drink, he sleeps or gets extremely affectionate and cuddly. Most of the time, he ends up against his boyfriend's chest and starts to purr out of euphoria.
If everyone is on the same page by saying Kellyn's cute as hell while being drunk, they're also quite busy running away from Keith's wrath.
Our favorite redhead, other than running after some idiots who made his partner drink, doesn't drink alcohol. Like at all. But unlike Kellyn, it's not because he can't handle it but rather because of his psyche. He instantly wants to throw up each time he smells alcohol, making it quite difficult when Kellyn has to use some in his cooking.
The two of them get by, somehow.
Rhythmi. Little sweet Rhythmi. She's the type of drunk who makes everyone laugh but also question her career choices. More than once, she did things she shouldn't be able to. Such has drawing the blueprints of an entire airplane or dancing the can-can while singing Russia's national anthem in german.
Want to know the worst? She doesn't make a SINGLE mistake while doing so. Nobody knows HOW she is capable of doing that, and neither does Arceus. And frankly, he doesn't want to!
...Most of the time, if Rhythmi is drunk, it's because she had the great idea of challenging her girlfriend in a drinking contest. Don't. Don't challenge Kate in a drinking contest. You're gonna lose pathetically. She's the kind of woman who can engulf a shot of absinthe without budging. Please, be reasonable.
Just some doodles of Almia main cast in their adults designs. Maybe one day I'll color them....
Little spoon or big spoon?
Most of the time, Kellyn is a little spoon, but it happens quite often that he becomes the big spoon. Depends on his and Keith's mood.
Speaking of Keith, he's the big spoon 75% of the time. However, he likes being the little one once in a while.
Rhythmi is the little spoon par excellence, who, even if she wanted, can't be the big spoon. Much to Kate's amusement.
And as you expect, Kate's a big spoon. A big spoon who LOVES to tease her precious Rhythmi to no end.
There're MY child! No, they're mine!
Did you know? There's an unspoken tradition running among the older Top Rangers.
When new Top Rangers are recruited by Chairperson Erma, it's not rare that the seniors take them under their wing and make them learn the ropes. However, it happens that sometimes a senior grows quite attached to their junior and starts treating them like their own child.
...But you must know for sure that there are not many recruits to begin with, and too many seniors. Inevitably, some "fights" happen.
To remedy that, they put in place the "Adoption" system where they can fight over "custody". Tu put it simply when 2 seniors want to "adopt" the same junior, they can "fight" over their "adoption papers", and the one winning became the "official parent". And they can do that as much as they want!
Rhythmi even heard from Linda that once 2 seniors fought over a junior adoption paper behind the Ranger Union...
Don't worry, it's not serious. They won't kill each other over that!....Yet.
Anyway, as you might expect, our group has already been "adopted". Sven has Keith, while Wendy got Kellyn. To tell you a secret, Sven challenges Wendy quite regularly over Kellyn's adoption paper, even though he knows that he can't win this battle.
But, they decided to call a truce when Kate became a Top Ranger...That's why she is the only one with 2 "parents". For now.
And the ones concerned by that? They happily go along with it and even add oil to the fire sometimes.
Kellyn LOVES Pokemons. That's not new. In fact, he prefers Pokemons over humans. He's also quite the cuddly type and doesn't hesitate to hug and give affection to the Pokemons around him. May them be Fischl, Sapphire, or even complete strangers.
However, sometimes it happens that Keith starts to glare stare at the Pokemons getting pampered by his boyfriend. He then gets in the middle of the group, gently pushes the creatures away, and cuddles close to Kellyn's chest.
Kellyn always laughs at his antics, just like the Pokemons who know he means no harm. So, once they craddle themselves against the boy's bodies, Kellyn starts to pamper them again.
‐---‐-----------------------------
Kellyn: Aw...~ You're so cute when you're jealous, Sunrise!~
Keith: I'm not jealous.
Kellyn: Sure thiiiiiinnnnggg~ Hihi~
Cooking and baking skills
Kellyn: The best cook of the group but can't bake at all. Much to his dismay.
Keith: Can cook but prefers baking surpsingly enough. He decided to improve his baking skills when he discovered that Kellyn had a sweet tooth.
Rhythmi: Sets the kitchen on fire EVERY SINGLE TIME
Kate: Has average skills in both cooking and baking but is eager to improve.
Rhythmi is pretty, that's a well-known fact. She's quite proud of her silky curly hair and takes good care of it. Maybe Arceus decided to reward her for her constant efforts because she looks fabulous, no matter what. Even with her bed hair.
Kate, however....Doesn't have that chance.
And Kellyn and Keith? Oh, they gave up ages ago. They already have enough trouble taming their hair on a daily basis and looking presentable, so their bed hair...
Laughter and smile
Kellyn's smiles are shy and sweet, making him look like an angel. In addition to that, he giggles lightly and quietly behind his hand. Something that everyone finds absolutely adorable.
Big dazzling and confident grins are Keith's forte. He also has the most innocent and beaming laughter of them all. Laughter and smile that Kellyn swore to protect at all costs.
Pretty, calculated, and polite...Such are Rhythmi's smiles. Most of the time, she will smile like an innocent girl, but it happens that she grows cold and sadistic. Same thing for her laughter. Beautiful but dangerous, just like a rose.
Kate gives big and radiant smiles with little to no hesitation. Her laughter, however, is rare. She says it sounds weird, but that's just because it's a heartfelt and booming one. Rhythmi sincerely wishes to hear it more often.
When they break the Ranger Code
Ranger Code: Set of rules that every Rangers, Operators, and Mechanics must follow. These rules are many and varied, such as: "Do NOT under any circumstances, try to kill another human being!"
Kellyn: The origin and peacemaker (most of the time)
Keith and Kate: The catalysts
Rhythmi: The worsener or damage control (depends on her mood)
Fischl: The catalyst AND worsener at the same time
Sapphire: The one who plays referee
Pokemon Partners
Being a Ranger means that you'll most likely end up with a Pokemon Partner. After some time, you can even understand and talk to each other.
For Kellyn, his partner is a Starly who evolved into a Staraptor. Her name is Fischl, and she will absolutely DESTROY you if you dare hurt her precious and adorable partner. She's quite known to spell it out without a care in the world.
Keith has Sapphire. A Buizel he rescued back in Summerland. Even though he's quite sassy and sarcastic at times, he's loyal and will NEVER abandon Keith. He's the reasonable one in the group and is not getting paid enough for this.
Patchouli or Pachi, for short, is the name of Kate's Pachirisu. A little gremlin who likes to cause chaos. If at first, he was jealous of Rhythmi because of her relationship with Kate, he ended up accepting her. Getting pampered by her must have played a part in that.
Sven and Eden, his Luxray, are the ones who have known each other for the longest time. True Partners in Crime who don't need words to understand each other. He may be intimidating and serious, but he's still a sweetheart. You can sometimes spot them taking a nap under the shadow of a tree.
Sky is Wendy's precious Staraptor. The two of them are quite known around the Union to be inseparable. A competent yet humble bird who was Fischl's mentor at one point. If Eden is the "cool parent", he's pretty much the stricter one. But, he can be mischievous at times.
Keith has always been popular. May it be with girls or boys alike. So you can imagine that when him and Kellyn became a couple...Some grew jealous.
These people then started to gossip about Kellyn, making fun of him and belittling him at every good occasion. Truthfully, he doesn't care at all and just ignore them. It's not like he wasn't used to it when he was a small child.
Keith, on the other hand...
...He's not the type to let his boyfriend get insulted. Even if that means to make somebody eat a wall. Or his fist for that matter.
Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
Kellyn despises coffee from the bottom of his heart. But he still needs it in order to stay awake and function properly. He prefers drinking tea rather than coffee, for that matter. However, he will always take hot chocolate over the two when he can.
Taking Keith's coffee away from him is having a death wish, especially in the morning. Tea makes him sick for some reason. According to him, it's because he had too much of it as a child and had an overdose. Doesn't say no to a good hot chocolate during winter.
Rhythmi swears by Latte and is ABSOLUTELY disgusted by dark plain coffee. Tea is not her cup of tea ( pun intended), but she'll drink it in order to avoid dark coffee. Hot chocolate is a rare treat to her and reserved for private moments.
Kate must be the only one who actively prefers tea over everything else. She really doesn't like coffee, maybe because they all taste the same to her. She likes drinking hot chocolate, but only during winter.
Sleeping Habit
Kellyn is an early bird and a night-owl at the same time. Which means he doesn't get much sleep or sometimes doesn't sleep at all.
Keith HATES mornings with a passion, which isn't helped by the fact that he tries to stay up late to make Kellyn go to bed.
Rhythmi has a normal sleeping habit weirdly enough. But, she sometimes refuses to rest when some Rangers are on Mission/Quest, and she doesn't know if they're alright.
Kate is the random one. She can be full of energy despite the fact that she only slept for about an hour or two. But, she can also be as lethargic as Slackool even though she slept for 12 hours.
After Operation Brighton, it happens that sometimes Keith hugs Kellyn out of nowhere and puts his head against his chest. He doesn't say or do anything...He justs listen to Kellyn's heartbeat to reassure himself that he's alive and safe and that he won't lose him.
Keith LOVES spicy food. His tolerance is quite high, actually.
Kellyn, on the other hand...The simple sight of it makes him cry.
And Rhythmi is the normal one, alongside Kate.
Hey...Our little adventure is over. But, I'll still make content about it, don't worry!~ May it be doodles, headcanons, illustrations...You name it.
But, I still wanted to thank you for reading it. I'm...Happy that I could post it after so much work. Well then, see you later!~
Everything has to come to an end. But, do not cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
