Honedge gathery data

"Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force."
"If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely."

"I've done a lot of research on Honedge, mostly from my master's library. Reports of Honedge draining life force are greatly exaggerated, but it is true that Honedge only evolve when wielded by a worthy man. It's also true that they have an innate tendency toward violence and revenge, but I think there is some controversy over whether this Pokemon is really born of spirits. My master said Honedge is an ancient Pokemon and can live essentially forever. Did you know that Sarimanok himself had an Aegislash? For this reason, only the Champion is permitted to raise an Aegislash in Creshire! I don't think our current champ has one, though."

"You are most certainly right about it evolving in the hands of a worthy man, but there are also cases of these Pokémon evolving if they and their trainer reach a certain threshold of experience. Me and my fellow researchers hypothesis that Honedge evolution is tied to their master's spirit, and that the closer they are in sync, the higher likely hood of triggering the event. All Ghost Pokémon can drain the life out of their master, or can posses them if its suits their fancy, but Honedge lines life drain powers are rather notable given how fast they can channel that natural ability. However, if the ghostly blade has a master/trainer that it greatly respect and hold loyalty to, it will limit its passive effect to a far more tolerable levels. Given that you are able to wield the Pokémon so easily, I would say that the two of you share a increadily strong bond, so the Life Drain is limited to its bare minimum."


"Doublade gains the ability to feed on the emotion of their wield, and can bestow them with great strength and determination, but prolonged use of that function would leave the person a soulless husk that the Pokémon can puppet around. Aegislash further strengthens and enhances all of the natural abilities of its line, gain the power to negate damage towards its master with King's Shield, and acquire the power to trap the souls of People and Pokémon alike within itself. Because of the line's quite frightening powers, trainers who own these Pokémon are monitored closely in Kalos just in case they go rouge, so its not that unreasonable that a similar, if more draconian, system was in play here. As for Honedge's origins, researcher have (so far) agreed to two source for Ghost Pokémon: Either a spirit or supranatural entity from beyond the veil bonds with object and become a Pokémon, or ambient spiritual, emotional, and necrotic energy colest into an ethereal being that is eventually classified as one. So while debate is still out as to Honedge true spirit, its mostly falls in the latter category of Ghost Pokémon creation."

"No, I'm afraid I could not let you wield my Honedge. They are a very disobedient Pokemon, and I wouldn't want to be responsible for anything that happens. Besides, I'm not sure what would happen to the bond between myself and the Sword Pokemon. I'm sorry, but my mind is quite made up."


"Your theory about ambient energy rings most true to me. I believe that is an accepted source for many unbreedable Pokemon or those without normal physical bodies. These Pokemon come into being directly from Nature herself."

So, there is Honedge close to this place since according to the pokedex its a spirit inhabit a sword?

One thing you forgot to note is the pokedex entry in the core book.  They sometimes differ from the canon entries or have homebrewed facts from the writers in them.

Iron's turned this into a simple puzzle for you to solve, if it isn't obvious by now.  Solve the puzzle, amd you might find a Honedge.

As for the Bag of Ashes, he simply pocketed it after giving it a once over and deemed it was alright for him to do so. No clue what he could do with all this fine soot, but maybe Shiva or Nathan could get some use out of it.

I actually could make use of that if there's enough ash in there.  Good thinking.

I specifically picked it up because I remembered that Nathan knew how to make Glass Flutes, and planned on giving the soot to him later. Not too good with puzzles, but I am pretty good at remembering small details! 

Now, time to figure out how exactly to respond to Sir Artist and the little girl....

"During ancient war times this ruttless pokemon was born from the spirits of warrios who die in battle. It is a Cursed Sword that seeks revenge and blooshred. It will drain the life energy of anyone what wields its."

Okay. Thats a pretty dark and scary, but I still gonna get one. But puzzle its not exatcly my thing. I did remember the last one I did and failed...

[Spiritmon]

Also @Lord Windos any answear to add in the last message I have to you?

I will get to it in due time, mate. Was busy with making posts for Game Thread, but now I can respond to it freely.

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmm...just reread that ninth tale that was told.

I know what the general topic of it is, but I don't want to spoil it right away, just in case everyone wants to try and figure it out themselves.




Also, I'm waiting on Iron to say whether Terra can get the requested art put on his newly acquired gear before responding to Windos's post, because that could affect how the upcoming conversation goes...
