Charmy the Bee

**Charmy the Bee**, is both a fictional character and tritagonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is an anthropomorphic black and yellow bee and the youngest member of Ryme City's agency.

Although he is a certified detective under the employment of Mike Baker, this frivolous and scatterbrained bee is more akin to a mood maker who helps excite his own teammates and make his fellow coworkers looking professional.

He is as well generally seen by others as his detective agency's entertaining and incredibly cute mascot. Regardless, he is an excellent flier and possesses a sharp stinger to boot. The flight suit and helmet are his trademarks.

Always flying around energetically and annoying his coworkers, Charmy is hyperactive, childish and loves more to play than work. However, his intuition is nonetheless an invaluable assist, and he serves as his team's crucial part.

"*Oh flower, pretty flower, show your face and I'll sting you!*"

## Personality

Good-shaped yet sloppy, Charmy is a hyperactive and scatterbrained funny-kid. Not remarkably clever, Charmy is the type of person who takes action first and asks questions later, and when he realizes the error that he has made, it is too late. Charmy is curious, playful, always upbeat, and likes to fool around and crack jokes. In fact, as a child, he loves to play above all else (especially work), and he can always be seen flying around energetically.

When the team is receiving their first mission at the beachy Seaside Hill, Charmy is hovering around singing "Sea, sea, sea". However, he works hard to help his partners. Not known for his temperament, Charmy is generally good natured and light-hearted, and does not get angry very often. When he does get provoked however, he often introduces the source of his anger to his stinger and delivers a painful sting to them.

Due to his age, Charmy is not the best of detectives. However, he is the life of the party who enlivens the Baker Agency with his cheerfulness and carefree attitude. Also, he is super-keen. In addition, because his childlike innocence gives him a viewpoint his elder coworkers does not have, he has excellent intuition, and he often points out things that no one else would notice. Charmy is also great at coming up with ideas that that no one would think of.

This makes him an essential member of the Detective Agency. If any puzzling cases occur, Charmy will be on the case with his flexible mind. It appears that Charmy has a fondness for money as well, much like Vector, as they got the same glint in their eyes when they were promised a handsome reward for their services at the beginning of the Neo Metal Sonic incident.

## Abilities and Powers

Although neither clever nor strong, Charmy has proven himself an asset to the Baker Detective Agency. Thanks to his wings, he is capable of flight. In fact, unlike most other fliers and their Propeller Flying methods, the bee appears capable of sustaining flight indefinitely on his own without his flying appendages ever tiring out, as he is always seen flying around.

The self-proclaimed fastest insect in the world, Charmy is the first of his species to break the sound barrier (at 767 mph), making him almost as fast as Sonic himself, who can surpass the speed of sound as well. He is even able to fly around so fast that he can create miniature vortexes of such density that they can be stood on.

Despite his age, the bee is also quite strong in his own right; during the Neo Metal Sonic incident, he was able to carry his team through the air and across large distances on his own.

Charmy possesses a powerful stinger that is capable of dealing painful stings. With it, he can land sharp strikes strong enough to pierce lesser Badnik armor, and he knows how to use it with both speed and agility. His stinger aside, the bee is also able to perform the Spin Attack, a technique where he curls into a concussive ball or cutting disk and directs himself at him targets. With it, he can shred or burrow through just about any substance given enough speed. Adept in its usage, he can utilize several variants of the Spin Attack for both ground- and aerial maneuvers, including the Spin Dash, Spin Jump, and Homing Attack.

As a member of the Baker Detective Agency, Charmy has some investigative skills, but he is far from being as clever a detective as Vector or Espio. Out of everyone on Team Chaotix, the bee is the tracker, his innocent nature giving him an excellent sense of intuition that lets him point out important details that others would have missed. These sharp moments result in him occasionally contributing the most actual detective work out of the trio.

Charmy excels as well in following hunches and uncovering hidden objects. He also has some mysterious talent which enables him to warp between flowers and activate bee-themed devices at will. In addition, while not being an expert in the field, he is also shown to have great reflexes and acrobatic skills, enough to let him do unique tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind on rails with ease.

### Transformations

#### Color Powers

*Main article:* *Color Powers*
By harnessing different variants of Hyper-go-on from Wisps, Charmy can use specific **Color Powers** to transform into a certain form, such as a drill, a laser or even a planet, each one possessing its own unique abilities. So far, Charmy has been able to transform into the Cyan Laser, Yellow Drill and Indigo Asteroid. However, these transformations require a steady supply of Hyper-go-on to be maintained.

### Weaknesses

Charmy cannot go into the water. In addition, he can be too careless for his own good.
