Flash Step… Aaron was well aware of the "Shunpo" ability.
In Bleach, it was Yoruichi's signature move—fast enough to earn her the title of "Flash Goddess."
No need to question how fast it was.
After a quick thought, he gave the skill to Beedrill.
Then he handed out the four Pokémon Candy to Greninja, Snorlax, Sceptile, and Gyarados.
All four reached Elite (Mid Stage).
Their strength jumped up another level.
His attention shifted to the last item in his inventory.
A Zanpakuto.
Every Shinigami has their own Zanpakuto, each one comes with a unique ability and he was curious what this one could do.
Yamamoto's Ryūjin Jakka—burns everything.
Aizen's Kyōka Suigetsu—absolute hypnosis.
And plenty more.
All of them were broken.
Holding back his excitement, he opened the Zanpakuto's info panel.
[Name: Zanpakuto]
[Ability: Suzumebachi]
[Release Command: Sting All Enemies to Death! Suzumebachi!]
[Description: When Suzumebachi strikes a target for the first time, a black butterfly crest called "Hōmonka" appears at the point of impact. If the same spot is struck again, the mark overlaps into an octagonal pattern. When that happens, the target is defeated (loses combat capability).]
[Note: This ability only works on targets below the legendary-level. Its effect is reduced against those who have reached the divine.]
...
The moment he saw the ability, he froze.
"It's actually this one…"
Yeah—this was busted.
Two hits. That's all it took.
Hit the same spot twice, and it's over.
No exceptions.
From the description, it didn't matter if it was Champion-Class, Champion, or even Master-level.
As long as they hadn't reached the Legendary-level, it would still work.
…That was insane.
He immediately saw the synergy.
Beedrill already had Twineedle—two hits, back to back.
Pair that with Suzumebachi…
It wasn't even a two-hit kill anymore.
It was basically a one-shot.
No hesitation—he gave the Zanpakuto to Beedrill.
"Come out, Beedrill."
It appeared as the blade fused into its body.
A low buzz filled the air.
Its twin stingers lit up, glowing bright.
Black and yellow patterns spread along the needles, their tips gleaming under the sunlight.
Now those stingers carried Suzumebachi's power.
Two hits in the same spot—anything below Legendary-level was done.
That was just how broken it was.
"Bzz… bzz…"
Beedrill seemed to feel the change.
It flapped its wings and circled around him, clearly excited.
In just half a day, its strength had completely transformed.
Even it could hardly believe it—but the power boost had it fired up.
It had made the right call.
This Trainer… was something else.
He smiled and gave its smooth yellow head a light pat.
"Alright, Beedrill. I'm counting on you."
"Bzzz!"
It answered with a sharp, confident hum.
He then pulled up its updated status panel.
The changes were obvious.
[Name: Beedrill]
[Gender: Male]
[Nature: Calm]
[Type: Bug, Poison]
[Ability: Sniper]
[Base Stats Total: 395]
[Level: Elite (Mid Stage)]
[Potential: Champion]
[Moves: Twineedle (Mastery), Fury Attack (Mastery), Focus Energy (Mastery), Venoshock (Proficient), Pin Missile (Proficient), Poison Jab (Proficient), Agility (Proficient), Fell Stinger (Proficient), Pursuit (Basic), Endeavor (Basic)...]
[Special Move: Flash Step]
[Special Ability: Suzumebachi (K.O)]
[Description: Beedrill, the Poison Bee Pokémon and the evolved form of Iron Shell Wasp, has gained a mysterious power. If struck twice at the same point, the opponent will be knocked out instantly...]
...
Even he hadn't expected that.
But with how broken the ability was, the jump made sense.
Beedrill had reached Elite (Mid Stage).
This Zanpakuto was no joke.
It boosted both potential and raw strength.
Now it was hard to place Beedrill within the team.
Against Greninja—with Flying Thunder God—it probably wouldn't even land a hit.
But against Snorlax, Gyarados, or Sceptile…
If it connected, the result was anyone's guess.
Suzumebachi was just unfair.
Unless the opponent was way faster, avoiding it would be nearly impossible.
