But don't forget to also read the post about the sensei Nathan linked earlier.

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.
