Kylie Witchhazel-Stonebeach

**Kylie Witchhazel-Stonebeach** (秋空-岩濱海洋, *Akisora-Iwahama Kaiyo*?) is one of the main characters of Season 16 of *Guardians of Harmony.* She is a sunny and cheerful 13 year-old girl from Slateport who sometimes lacks confidence.

## Bio

### Appearance

Kylie is a young girl with orange eyes and golden-blonde hair (which becomes sparkly with a fade of orange after the Guardians gain Stage 3 in "Overcoming the Weaknesses") tied in braids that are secured in loops held up at her temples with blue clips. When let down, it is shown to reach her knees. Her Harmony Mark is a white seashell bordered in gold on a chain of pink beads.

As a civilian, she wears a light yellow sleeveless dress with an orange collar and navy blue Mary Janes with pale pink stockings.

As an adult in the series finale, she wears a golden-yellow t-shirt, a dull pale blue above-the-knee skirt with an orange waist ribbon, and silver chunky wedge heels.

In her Guardian of Harmony form, her legs are replaced with a yellow tail that has a light yellow fluke (which, like her father, Chiffon, and Melissa, is horizontal and moves up and down like a whale's tail, not sideways like a fish) and she gains light yellow fins on her elbows. She has a cream-colored top that leaves part of her midriff exposed, with a gold and white chest bow, dark gold two-layered sleeves, and orange armwarmers with white bands. Her hair turns bright orange, is let mostly loose except for part of it being a topknot half-bun held with a yellow hairband that has her Harmony Gem (shaped like a seashell) and she has small white seashell earrings. Her Elemaximum Gauge is on her left breast.

In her Elemaximum form, (???). It is known that along with the other three Guardians with merfolk tails, her Elemaximum outfit is very unique.

In her Stage 5 form, her eyes turn gold and her hair grows down past her tailfin, (???).

### Personality

Kylie is very friendly, upbeat, and cheerful, being very kindhearted and warm towards those she cares about. She has loved the sea and Water-type Pokémon since a young age, and she goes down to beach nearly every day when not busy. Normally, she cares very deeply about her Pokémon and friends and will do anything in her power to protect them. She is also very helpful and understanding. Despite her cheerfulness, she does sometimes have to cope with bouts of intense chest pain from the shard stuck in her heart that can flare up at any moment. However, she is also quite meek when faced with danger and lacks self-confidence, has self-esteem issues due to her bouts of pain, and can sometimes try to help anyways even when told her assistance is not needed. Her partner Pokémon is a Ninja Dragonet nicknamed Dango, who is Cinnamon's daughter.

### Relationships

* **Katy Livonne**: Her childhood friend and one of her best friends. In the episode she dies, Katy is so devastated afterwards that for a short time, she even refuses to eat and sleeps all day, even briefly considering killing herself until her friends and Sky talk her out of it.
* **Chiffon Parfumier**: Another one of her best friends.
* **Melissa Bikker**: Despite Melissa being 11 years older than her, the two are close friends, and have known each other since they were younger, similarly to Nanette and Nina being best friends with a large age gap.
* **Syren Flutterbrook**: Syren greatly admires Kylie and sees her as a big sister figure, even declaring that she is "[her] number one fan."
* **Whitely Daisy**: While she has not met Whitely due to her being dead, in the rewritten timeline with everycreature alive, it is implied that Kylie sees her as a sort of honorary Cool Aunt, though she briefly gets scared when Oceania pops out of her Poké Ball *again*.
* **Amber Witchhazel**: Kylie is an orphan and is shown to miss her mother greatly despite hearing about her immaturity in spite of her being a brave leader. In the series finale, she is shown to be very close with her mother despite her still being a bit immature, as after she, Shawn, Melissa, and Chiffon teleport in and detransform, she quickly runs over to Amber, hugs her, and takes her seat next to her and Shawn.
* **Melody Harmadale**: The two get along very well, though Melody's love of singing sometimes gets under Kylie's skin (since she can barely sing herself). They also occasionally butt heads over both of them being extremely powerful and among the strongest Guardians in existence. However, in "Farewell, Melody," Kylie denies that Melody is dead and keeps trying to get her friend to wake up, not wanting to face the truth, but realizes she can't deny it any longer.

### Etymology

* The kanji for her Japanese given name **Kaiyo** both mean "ocean," while in both dubs, she has a hyphenated surname of both her parents' surnames.

## Magical Abilities

While she generally chooses not to transform unless the villains attack near a body of water, in her Guardian of Harmony form Kylie has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to swim and breathe underwater without drowning, though she can still breathe above water just fine.

Despite being designed for fighting underwater, as a Water Elemental she can still use water attacks just fine underwater due to them being magic, such as blasts, bubbles, and whirlpools. She can form bubbles into barriers or shields or use it as a distraction to get away from the enemy and can put them over someone's head to allow non-aquatic creatures/Pokémon/humans to travel underwater. Kykie is even capable of compressing water into a solid form (much like a Greninja's Water Shuriken) to form projectiles to attack. She has limited control over ocean-dwelling Pokémon as well, being able to command them to an extent.

Her major secondary power is the manipulation of light, and she can fire a huge storm of tiny star shapes at the enemy as well as use her eyes like a flashlight in dark places by emitting light beams from them and create bursts and explosions of light. She is capable of healing wounds by placing her hands on the injury and using light to heal it, but this does drain her energy and leaves her exhausted. She is considered to be one of the very strongest and most powerful Guardians in existence as her power derives from the magic of the Infinite Ocean (specifically, the Emperor's Throne that can be used to command all the Pokémon and creatures in the entire Infinite Ocean against threats by someone worthy enough and contains all the magic of the Infinite Ocean) itself - when Kylie was 6 years old, a natural underwater earthquake caused a small shard of the throne to chip off, and it got shot through the water at full force, traveled through an Ocean Gate to the Pokéverse, and ended up up being lodged into her heart accidentally while she was playing on the beach and leaving her hospitalized for several days. The doctors decided it was too dangerous to remove the shard since removing it could make her bleed to death, but the piece gave her a portion of the powers of the Emperor's Throne and the incident also gave her her Harmony Mark.

## Guardian of Harmony

Kylie is the Guardian of the Infinite Ocean (despite not living in the Magical Dimension); she is a Water/Light Elemental who represents the Element of Magic. Her theme color is yellow with a sub of orange, and her weapons are a compact and a trident.

### Transformation

Kylie's legs fuse into a mermaid tail and then she holds her Harmony Gem and shouts "Miracle Engage!", causing the Gem to glow and activate. She then holds the Gem close to her Power Necklace and as soon as the Necklace activates as well, the screen is engulfed in a white light.

### Attacks

* **Whirlpool Ring** - Her main purification finisher.
* **Venus Fireworks** - Her other purification finisher.
* **Brine Splash** - One of her damaging sub-attacks.

## Pokémon

* Ninja Dragonet (Dango; partner Pokémon)
* Gyaradaos (Oceania)
* Lanturn (Sparkle)
* Normal Corsola (Coral)

## Trivia

* Syren admiring Kylie and being a big fan of her despite she herself being a Guardian (most likely because despite being a Guardian herself, as a Miko, she doesn't have combat power like Kylie) is very similar to Scootaloo admiring and being a huge fan of Rainbow Dash in *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.* She even screams in excitement when she first finds out that Kylie has a mermaid tail when transformed, reminiscent of Scootaloo screaming in excitement when she first meets Rainbow Dash's parents.
* Despite already owning a normal Corsola, her wish (which does *not* involve time travel, so everyone remembers that Galarian Corsola and Cursola existed) is to turn all Galarian Corsola into healthy pink Corsola and end their misery. This essentially makes Galarian Corsola extinct, and the wish also ends up turning all Cursola into normal healthy, pink Corsola.
* In the episode where she dies due to an aquatic witch (which resembles a giant egg with fins and a tail), her *Pokémon* have to retrieve her body from the seabed since Melissa and Chiffon are dead. However, the remaining Guardians then decide to give her a burial at sea anyways, and her funeral resembles a slightly modified version of the scene in the canon episode *Pokémon Shipwreck* where Officer Jenny presumes that the heroes and their Pokémon are dead.
* Although she is the daughter of Amber, Kylie takes after her father much more than her mother, especially her water powers, merfolk tail, and overall sea rather than land theme.
