In the Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Batonnage - the Comic manga

Kellyn appears in the comic based on Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia that is posted on the Pokémon Japanese Website. Kellyn is a Top Rank Ranger and his partner Pokémon is a Pachirisu.

Kellyn collects all volumes of The Almia Times, pieces of Capture Stylers, and Capture Discs. He is very picky about his collection of Ranger things and keeps them all clean and organized. Kate got part of his collection dirty with her fingerprints and he became furious and forced her to wash her hands.

He is also shown to be a lot darker, more independent and doesn't say very much or interact with anyone. Barlow adds Kellyn is highly antisocial as he works alone with only his Pachirisu. He obviously doesn't interact with anyone at work either as Barlow and Crawford never seem to know his exact location and they tell Kate that Kellyn just seems to do what he wants most of the time.

Trivia

Kellyn art from the anime

• Hajime means "beginning," probably referring to his status as a beginner in the game; however, he is a Top Ranger in the anime and in the manga.
  • His Japanese name is shared with Primo.
• In the anime, Kellyn has been shown with several final forms of Ash's own Pokémon, a Floatzel, a Staraptor, and three Blastoise, final forms of Buizel, Staravia (not a Staraptor at the time), and Squirtle. He also used a Donphan, which Ash also has.
• Kellyn is the first male player character to appear and have a major role in the main series anime (not including Pokémon Chronicles, which featured Jimmy) if Ash is not counted as Red.
• Kellyn is also the first male player character to meet Ash.
• In the manga, Kellyn has a Pachirisu, but in the anime, he doesn't have any Pokémon as a partner.
• Counting both main and side series, Kellyn and his counterpart Kate are the only player characters who don't wear any sort of headgear or headband.
