Rhythmi Pokemon Ranger - Blog Posts

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:

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.

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.

While on the topic of Mama Hawk Rhythmi, we also have another type of "Mama" in the person of Kellyn.

As explained before, Kellyn is the 2nd weakest member of the group. The only reason why he is stronger than Rhythmi is because he's a Ranger and her an Operator. He's also wouldn't hurt a fly, except when he goes into Berserk Mode, which is really rare. The only time that happened was when Keith and Fischl got ejected from the Altru Tower, so...

Anyway, as you can see, he doesn't really fit into the Mama Hawk archetype. What is he, then? Well...A Mama Dragon.

Kellyn is the Mom Friend in the group, always here to take care of them, may it be by pampering them, preparing some snacks or meals, comforting them...That kind of things.

He also knows that he can't protect his close persons by fighting with his fists, so he shields them with his body instead. He has always been a self-sacrificial person, and after Operation Brighton, it only got worse.

Just like Rhythmi, he has been so traumatized that the only way he found to cope with the trauma was to protect and take care of others. Thankfully, once adults, the extremism calmed down, and they became "regular" Mamas Hawk/Dragon.

If you can call them regular...

In other words, if Rhythmi's the fierce Mama Hawk ready to kill for her Rangers, Kellyn's the sweet Mama Dragon taking care of his close persons and ready to die for them.

Funny how the two of them started from the same level, right?

If you ask a complete stranger who is the most dangerous person in the group, they most likely will answer with Keith and/or Kate's names.

However, if you ask a staff member of the Ranger Union, they will, without hesitation, answer with Rhythmi's name.

Let's start with some explanations: first of all, Rhythmi's is not strong physically. She's the weakest of the group. Hell, even Kellyn is stronger than her!

Then, "why?" you wonder? That's simple: she's a Mama Hawk.

Yes, she's may not be strong like Keith or Kate, but boy, oh boy, she's scary as hell! More than once, she left the Union building to give a piece of her mind to the ungrateful/selfish/inconsiderate brats who are bugging her Rangers.

When that happens, her face becomes so dark and furious that even the toughest beast doesn't dare look at her in the eyes. Thankfully, she doesn't need to come to blows most of the time, but when she does...Let's just say that the adrenaline rush and rage do the trick.

To put it bluntly, Rhythmi's a raging Mama Hawk who's ready to kill in order to protect her precious Rangers. A very scary Mama Hawk.

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.

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.

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.

After a good rest, it's time to prepare an attack on the Team Dim Sun!

Badump badump badump....It's funny. Who would have thought that love could be such a double-edged balde, huh...?

Ouch...It hurts...It hjurts so much...! What happened...?

New Mission! This time, we have to go to Hiya Valley in order to find a....Blue Gem...? I think? No matter, it can neutralize the dark shard power and Professor Hastings wants us to bring it back to the Union. Try to not catch a cold!

You've been promoted as a Top Ranger! Congratulations! So many things are still unknow and painful, but that's alright. Everything will work out somehow. I promise.

....Well, seems like school is over. Things will start to move soon enough. We can't go back now.

....No, I'm not crying, you are!

Oh dear...! It looks like things are starting to get messy...Hope evrything will be alright...

Oh boy, the first argument is here! Wonder what happened though...

2nd chapter! This time our little Kellyn will take the famous "Test of Courage"! Whether he likes it or not!

First chapter, yeah! Sorry I was out that long, I was quite busy making this, haha! Welp, hope you'll enjoy!~

Way to the Dawn

"What have I gotten myself into again...?”

That's what Kellyn had been wondering for a while.

Between the transition to adolescence, a crush with whom he didn’t know how to react, and a criminal group whose intelligence was only a joke... He was getting quite dizzy!!

But everything is fine! He should make it out without too much damage!

…Normally.

------------------------

I want to thank Charowak and their “OneDay” fic for giving me the inspiration to make this one!

So this fic is going to sum up the ENTIRE Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia game, so obvious SPOILERS! If you're reading it I assume you've finished the game, seen a let's play/playthrough, or you don't care because you just want to read a fic to pass the time.

Anyway, what else…Ah yes: couples (M/M, F/F...), cheesy moments here and there, the idiocy of the Dim-Ah…If I tell you everything, it wouldn't be funny right?

I hope you’ll like it! Enjoy!~
