Chase x Riley

* Charge of the Dino (Classic)
* Charge of the Dino (Reboot)

**Chase x Riley**, or commonly known as **Chiley**and/or **Kiwi-Raptor**, is a ship/pairing between Riley Griffin, the Dino Charge green ranger, and Chase Randall, the Dino Charge black ranger.

In the original Power Rangers canon, Chiley did not exist since Chase had already got himself a girlfriend in *Dino Super Charge*. Also, both Riley and Chase were straight, before Michael Taber confirmed otherwise on Twitter.

## Origin

### The Charge of the Dino

* Classic
* Reboot

A few days before The Charge of the Dino, Chase was currently in a relationship with Kaylee, who was always making Chase feel awkward towards everyone he came in contact with, especially Riley. Chase and Riley had to hide their relationship from everyone including Kaylee after Chase asked Riley out.

A few hours before Ben teleported into the Dino Charge universe, Shelby, Tyler and Koda were curious about Chase and Riley's interactions towards each other, causing the three to believe that they were actually together.

After confirming their relationship in Two Truths and a Lie, both Riley and Chase never leave each other's sides, and have sworn that they'd do anything to protect each other from supernatural threats.

Chase and Riley's relationship began to spark after the events of *The Tooth Hurts*, though it was just mild flirting, and nothing too lovey dovey. During this period, both Riley and Chase began to develop their relationship with stronger bonding, and later on, dating.

Chase and Riley didn't officially date until after the events of *The Ghostest With the Mostest*, where Chase was still under the Dino Cupid Charger's spell. He was face to face with Riley, though he was told many times not to come in contact with him, as previously stated by Shelby, and then later on by Tyler.

After the events of *Dino Super Charge*, both Chase and Riley show love and compassion to one another; they even go out on dates, give each other presents on Valentine's Day, and even spend some quality time with each other's families.
## Moments

* In Two Faced Lovers, Riley and Chase were seen pulling funny faces at each other, whilst bursting out with laughter and messing around when supposed to be working.

## Support

* **Tyler Navarro** - Tyler's support is mapped out differently between the two shows.
	+ In the classic show, Tyler was supportive between their relationship, despite them denying it at first. He overall loved how they had feelings for one another, but thought that it'd distract them from their work.
	+ In the reboot, Tyler, along with the others both assumed that they'd never be together prior to *The Tooth Hurts*, since they'd constantly argue. Tyler's opinion later changed when they both fell in love.

## Trivia

* Chiley was just a ship paired by the majority of the fanbase. In December 8, 2020, Riley's actor, Michael Taber, confirmed that he interpreted to play Riley as a homosexual. He also confirmed that Riley also had feelings for Chase too. This would also confirm Michael Taber's claims back in April 25, 2020, where he confirms that Chiley was real.
* In the classic series, chronologically, Shelby was the first to figure out the romantic attractions between Chase and Riley, however, despite Shelby walking home with Tyler and Koda, they're also the first people to figure out that their two team members are dating one another.
* In the reboot, Tyler, Shelby and Koda all new they were together after their little moment in *The Tooth Hurts*. It wasn't until they officially started dating towards the end of *The Ghostest with the Mostest*.
