Kye

Kye (Japanese: ケン Ken) is a character of the day who appeared in Bonnie for the Defense!. He is part of the self-appointed " Defense Force", together with Heidi and Jay. As part of a running gag, Kye often misspells words or names, causing him to be corrected by Jay.

He and the other members initially disliked grownups, believing them all to be liars. This was because he, Heidi, and Jay once found an abandoned. They cared for it, but were caught by a teacher. The teacher promised them nothing would happen as long as they were being honest about what they hid. When they explained themselves, the teacher took the Eevee away from them.

Later, after a thunderstorm had happened, he, Heidi, and Jay found traces of something dragging itself through the forest. They followed them and arrived at a lake. There, Lapras appeared in front of them. Although it appeared scared at first, the children quickly gained its trust. They found out it was hurt, and promised it to treat it and protect it.

In the present day, he appeared with Heidi and Jay in front of, who was taking a stroll through a forest. Although he, Heidi, and Jay did not want anyone to know about Lapras because of Pokémon poachers potentially going after it, they inadvertently told Bonnie about it when they introduced themselves as the Lapras Defense Force. When Bonnie heard Lapras's cry, they decided to introduce her to it.

Heidi, Jay, and Kye played with Lapras, until it started to rain and they brought it into a cave. After the rain stopped, the children discovered Lapras's body was hot and it was feeling sick. They were then found by, , and , who had gone to look for Bonnie. Clemont treated Lapras and found out it had a high fever, suggesting they should get a Nurse Joy to help it recover. However, Heidi refused to show Lapras to any grownup. Ash then warned them that Lapras might die if it wouldn't receive proper treatment soon. This caused Kye, Heidi, and Jay to start crying out of guilt, and they decided to call in Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy quickly made Lapras feel better and also informed the children that the Eevee their teacher had taken away from then had been brought back safely to its owner, as the teacher had simply brought it to Nurse Joy. After healing, Lapras started to cry out to the sky, and Clemont figured it had been separated from its friends. Ash and suggested bringing Lapras back to sea, where it belonged, but Kye, Heidi, and Jay were initially against this, as they didn't want to say goodbye to Lapras. However, after Bonnie had a word with them, they decided that if they really loved Lapras, they would return it to its natural habitat. Later, he, Heidi, Jay, and Bonnie made sure Lapras was returned to sea safely while Ash, Clemont, and Serena battled.

The Lapras Defense Force then said goodbye to Lapras as it joined its friends, and hoped they would meet it again someday. The day after, he, Heidi, and Jay said their farewells to Ash and his friends.

He reappeared in Bonnie's flashback in Till We Compete Again!.
