Kellyn in the anime

Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl

Kellyn is ranked as a Top Ranger and carries a Vatonage Styler. He appeared in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1 and Part 2 as a part of the Aura Sphere Riolu rescue mission.

In Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1), Kellyn showed up to deflect Riolu's Aura Sphere, which had been directed at Ash. Kellyn was hesitant to accept help from Ash and his friends, but he worked alongside them following Solana's recommendation. While making a river crossing on a boat, Kellyn and the others were ambushed by a group of Sharpedo belonging to J's henchmen. After the boat was destroyed, Kellyn recruited a Floatzel to help him continue crossing the lake. He then became separated from Riolu after J's Salamence fired a Hyper Beam at the group, though Ash swam after Riolu.

In Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2), Kellyn recruited three Blastoise to put out a forest fire caused by Salamence. Later, he rescued Ash from a high fall from J's ship with a giant Staraptor. He flew back to the group and continued their search for Riolu. With the help of Ash's Aura-sensing abilities, they were able to track Riolu down just as J was handing over Riolu to her client.

While Dawn and Brock took care of the client's henchmen, Ash and Kellyn went after the client himself. The two caught up to him in a cave. Despite him engineering several rock falls to keep them at bay, Kellyn used a Donphan to destroy them. He and Ash then confronted the client and defeated him in a battle to rescue Riolu. Afterwards, Kellyn returned Riolu to its caretaker.

Character

Kellyn is calm and collected on the job. He tends to rush into the danger, such as when when he first confronted the Aura Sphere Riolu, and again when he used a Dodrio to run off a steep cliff to take on J's client's Fearow.

Pokémon Adventures

Kellyn is a major character in Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic. Here, Kellyn is a Top Ranger with an extreme hobby in collecting Ranger-related objects and photographic memory of every mission that any specific Ranger has done. He has great pride in his collection and gets very angry if it gets dirtied.

Pokémon Ranger: The Comic – Shadows of Almia

Kellyn first appears in the Vien Forest after a wildfire starts in the area. After recalling the very first time a Field Move was used by Sven, he puts out the fire with a Blastoise. Soon after, he encounters Kate, a newly-appointed Top Ranger stationed that the Vien Base. After hearing that she saw his Ranger collection, Kellyn takes Kate to see the rest of it, but gets angry once he sees that she dirtied a copy of his Almia Times with her unclean hands. He decides to switch the magazine with a clean one, but notices a mysterious figure in the picture.

Later, once Kate receives her Fine Styler, she goes outside to find Kellyn practicing capturing Pokémon, something he has been doing after seeing the mysterious figure. After using a magnifying glass created by Kate, they enlarge the Almia Times and find that the figure was a Darkrai floating near the Altru Tower. They go to the tower and find Professor Hastings hanging from a steel girder on the tower. Kellyn rescues Hastings using a newly-captured Togekiss and Starly.

Soon after, they are the group is attacked by Heath of the Sinis Trio. Kellyn, Kate, and Hastings escapes by entering the tower's elevator, leaving Barlow and Crawford behind while they combat Heath's Pokémon. Upon exploring the tower, Kellyn and Kate confront Lavana and Ice, who have stolen the Tears of Princes from the Luminous Crystal and injured its guardian, Darkrai. Ice freezes the two with his Froslass, but thanks to Kate's technological skills, Kellyn's upgraded Styler becomes strong enough to break free of the ice.

They manage to retrieve the Tears, but find that their old teacher, Kincaid, is really a member of Team Dim Sun and has Darkrai under his control. Kincaid reveals that with the Tears of the Princes removed, the Shadow Crystal corrupts Darkrai into an evil Pokémon. While pursing the escaped Kincaid, Kellyn breaks down once he realizes that nothing like this moment has happened in his records, thus making him unsure if they could succeed. Kate cheers him up by stating to forget the past, and sends Kellyn off to face Kincaid while she fights the remaining Pokémon alone.

With his and Kate's Pachirisu, Kellyn successfully captures Darkrai, freeing it from the Shadow Crystal's control. With Darkrai's help, Kellyn defeats Kincaid, foiling his plans in the process. With Kincaid defeated, Kate, Barlow, Crawford, and Hastings return with all three Tears recovered. They restore the Luminous Crystal back to its proper state and see Darkrai off as it flies to another region.
