"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 !~
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.
Cousins
Kellyn and Kate didn't have the best relationship back when they were little kids. Despite the fact that they're cousins, they pretty much hated each other.
Or rather, Kate was being a little pest while Kellyn was far too afraid to go near her. Eventually, she grew calmer and more serene over the years and started to regret what she did to her cousin.
They finally met each other again during Kellyn's 1 Day Internship, and the reunion was...Kind of awkward, as you might expect. At first, Kellyn was scared and was hiding behind Keith, who was pretty much growling at Kate. But in the end, they reconciled and started their relationship over.
While Kellyn was an Area Ranger, the 2 of them became close. Very close. To the point that everyone started to consider them as siblings rather than cousins. Especially because Kate is overprotective with Kellyn.
Something that many people appreciate because, let's be honest, this kid is far too self-sacrificial and reckless for his own good!
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.
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.
We got the Yellow Gem back! Now, all we need to do is to save Isaac and Melody then taking the 3 Tears of Princes to the Shadow Crystal!
The Operation Brighton finally trully begin. First, we need to climb the Altru Tower.
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.
Kate seems a little down since she received a letter...Let's try to cheer her up!
Professor Hastings witnessed some shady guys putting "Mailboxes" all around Pueltown...Seems kinda suspicious to me, don't you think?
AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! T-The forest- It's on fire! P-Please, help the Pokemons!
This is the true beginning of Ranger's duties! Strange sounds are pouring from the deep part of the Marine Cave lately...Do you think you can investigate it?
There we go, the second part begins. This is gonna be interesting...~
Oh dear Arceus! The most exciting part of the 1 Day Internship is finally here! So many friends....So little time...!
"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!~
