Kaylan is Kimberly Bond's Grotle, and the fourth Pokemon she acquired on her journey.

Personality

Kaylan is a relatively lax and patient Pokemon- which makes sense, given his species. While he can be excitable from time to time, he usually prefers to take things as slowly as possible. He is rather gluttonous and has a love of marshmallows, to the point where if he meets anyone, the first thing he will ask them is if they have marshmallows for him. In fact, his very first appearance was caused by a dream he had about marshmallows in which he accidentally bit Haruman's tail, showing that sometimes his gluttony can get the better of him. Kaylan can get nervous about things sometimes, especially in regard to singing; his performance of "Don't Look Back in Anger" during the Battle of the Bands was a prime example, as he believed his voice wouldn't project well enough and that Colton wouldn't like it. He doesn't like to see other Pokemon in pain and hates seeing others angry; when he heard Dio's story, for instance, he didn't even hesitate to comfort him. Despite his relatively gentle and patient nature, in battle Kaylan is an absolute beast; he took down a Dynamax Abomasnow with a few Sunny Days and a Max Steelspike, and during his battle against Nessa he used Protect to shield himself from Golisopod's First Impression, thereby costing the Golisopod his sole chance at a supereffective hit. After evolving into a Grotle, his personality didn't change all that much; indeed, the very first thing he asked Ian and Evelyn in his new form was if they had marshmallows for him. Later on, during the Japanese lessons with him and Dalt, he was patient enough to explain to Dalt about the wa/ga divide when Dalt started crying due to not understanding it.

Kim's personality file on him reads as follows:

"NEW POKEMON: KAYLAN THE TURTWIG. DESPITE HIS GENTLE NATURE, HE WON'T HESITATE TO BATTLE IF HE FEELS SOMETHING IS UNJUST OR IF NECESSARY. BASED ON WHAT HAPPENED WHEN HE LEARNED DIO'S STORY, HE CARES DEEPLY FOR OTHER POKEMON AND IS GENERALLY VERY KIND. HE HATES IT WHEN OTHER POKEMON ARE ANGRY AT ANYONE- UNLESS HE'S ANGRY AT THEM IN RETURN. ALSO, HE LOVES MARSHMALLOWS. THAT SEEMS PRETTY FUNNY TO ME, BUT IT'S KIND OF CUTE."
