You start walking down a trail to the right, picking up a fallen tree branch as you go. You can see the flickering light of a fire a little further down the path, and decide to head towards it. As you get closer, you can see that an old man is sitting by the fire, roasting an apple. He glances up as you approach and exclaims “Oho ho! Well met, stranger! It's rather unusual to see another soul in these parts!” “Who are you?” you ask him. “ Me? I'll spare my life story. I'm just an old fool who has lived here, alone, for quite some time now.”

Honedge flys up next to you, causing the Old Man to jump. “You have a Pokemon?” he asks “Only very important people are allowed to have those! The Royal Family must hold you in high regard.” You reply “Where am I?’ He tells you “This is the Great Plateau. According to legend, this is the birthplace of the entire kingdom of Hyrule.” “Now, if you want to get out of here, you’ll need a tool of some sort… I’ll make you a deal. Let me see your Sheikah Dex.”

You hand it to him, and he fiddles with it for a few seconds before handing it back to you. “I marked a location on your map. Head there, get the treasure at the point, and I’ll give you the tool. Safe travels!” you walk away from him and continue down the path. You see a large structure to your right. It kind of looks like a cross between a church and a stronghold, made out of stone and metal with a tower jutting out of the roof. Ruins surround the building, and strange robotic octopus-looking things lie broken around the ruins.

A shrieking noise jolts you away from your thoughts. An orange, goblin-like creature with a small unicorn-like horn on its head snuck up behind you while you were studying the ruins and leapt forward to attack! It holds a crude wooden club, and has an equally crude wooden bow strapped to its back.

Honedge speeds in front of you, blocking the creature’s blow. It shrieks again and starts to swing its club around and around. You backed up as fast as you can, but it wasn’t fast enough!

The creature strikes you right in the head! Pain stabs through you once again, and you fall to the ground. The creature lets out a snarling laugh, and prepares to deal the finishing blow.

You quickly pull out your Sheikah Dex, and both screens light up. The left screen tells you the creature you're fighting is called a “Bokoblin ''. It has some other information too, but you don’t have time to read that now! You tap the attack icon you didn’t press yet, Metal Claw. Honedge starts to shimmer with silver energy, then slashes upward, raking the Bokoblin across the chest. He looks down at his gaping wound in shock, then falls to the ground and disappears in a poof of purple dust. It leaves behind its horn, club, bow, and a few bundles of arrows. You pick them all up and put the horn and arrows in your pouch. You keep the bow and club out, in case another Bokoblin attacks you.

Biiiidooof! You hear a noise behind you, and whip out your bow. You load an arrow at… nothing? Biiiiid Bidoof! You hear it again! It seems to have come by down at your feet. You look down, and see an adorable little animal sitting in the grass. It resembles a beaver, with long incisors and brown fur. You take out your Sheikah Dex to see if it knows what this thing is. The right screen tells you that it’s called Bidoof. You don’t feel threatened by it, so you reach down to pet it between the ears. As you reach for it, it chomps down on your hand, then runs away. That little- blood starts to slowly drip down your hand, the sharp pain interrupting your thoughts yet again. You pick a large leaf of a nearby tree and wrap it around your wound, creating a makeshift bandage. You grit your teeth and continue down the path.

You head towards the place the voice in your head told you to go, traveling through a dense forest. During your journey, you meet several of what the Sheikah Dex tells you are Fletchling, Caterpie, and Magikarp. You have Honedge fight some of them, and eventually it learns a new move, Night Slash! You reach your destination in just a few minutes of travel.

There’s a small cave with a pedestal like the one back in that place you woke up in.It has similar designs carved into the walls, too. The voice returns, calling to you “Touch the Sheikah Dex to the pedestal”. You do as it says, and the floor beneath you starts to rumble and shake. You feel yourself start to rise, the hill on top of the cave breaking apart like glass. The floor stops high in the air, giving you an amazing view of the land around you.

You realize that the cave wasn’t a cave after all, but a tower! The tower has a cone-like roof, and ledges lead the way down, allowing you to climb down from the top. Your Sheikah Dex springs to life, the land around you filing itself in on your map.

The voice says “Look over at Hyrule Castle.” You gaze down at the castle. It seems to have been made in a similar style to that of the ruins further back. Towers and battlements scream towards the sky, and many smaller structures dot the land around the castle. The only thing out of place are the four giant red, tan, and black pillars surrounding the castle. Looking at them makes your spine crawl, for a reason you don’t quite understand.

Red clouds suddenly erupt from the pillars, bathing the castle in a bloody glow. To your horror, the clouds start to solidify, forming a terrifying entity. It looks like a mix of a boar and a dragon, and it starts to fly around the castle. It roars, somehow making the ground of your faraway tower shudder. “That is Calamity Ganon '' The voice tells you. “Slay it, and Hyrule will be safe once again”. What? How could you kill something like that? It could crush you without even breaking a sweat! Honedge looks worried too, beads of sweat glistening on its blade. “Save us, Link. Your our only hope..” The voice fades away.

You’re going to need to get off this plateau if you want to even have a hope of slaying Calamity Ganon, so you’ll have to get the treasures for the Old Man. What could be at the marker on your map?...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A blinding golden light shines down on you from above. “Open your eyes,” a familiar voice calls. The light fades and eventually disappears. Your eyes slowly open to see a strange device above you. It glows a soft blue and the shine from it makes you feel stronger. You realize that you’re laying in a pool of bluish liquid, which suddenly drains away. You slowly sit up, examining the room around you. The walls are covered in strange shapes, glowing the same blue as the device. A door with a weeping eye carved into it lies about 10 feet in front of you, and next to it is an odd, glowing pedestal.

You walk towards it and it springs to life, twisting and popping out a device you swear you’ve seen somewhere before. It’s split into two screens, glows orange unlike everything else in the room, and has a handle connecting both sections. You reach out to pick it up, and the voice calls out to you once again. “That is a Sheikah Dex. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber” the voice tells you. This confuses you. What slumber are they talking about? You can’t have been asleep THAT long, can you? The screens spring to life, displaying the eye symbol once again. You put the Dex on your belt.

The door rumbles and slowly pulls itself up, clearing your way to move forward. The next room is longer than the first, and a chest sits nearby. The next door is obscured in vines.

You approach the chest and kick it open. Pain shoots through your foot, and you hop around for a minute until it stops. Inside the chest is a black ball with blue accents. There’s a button in the center of the ball, and it rattles slightly as you draw closer. The voice calls to you a third time. “This is your old pokemon, Honedge. He’s been weakened, but you can help make him strong again. Tap the button and he’ll come out.”

You cautiously touch the button… and nothing happens. You sigh and start to set it back in the chest. The ball abruptly splits in half, releasing what appears to be a sword. It has a blue hilt, and a long green ribbon attached to it. Upon closer inspection, you can see an eye on the hilt, and three triangles on the blade. The sword starts floating around you excitedly and wraps its ribbon around you. Is it… hugging you?

The ball quickly snaps back together, and you put it in your pouch. The right screen on your Sheikah Dex displays a small model of the creature in front of you and two blocks. The blocks read Slash and Metal Claw respectively. 5 other empty spots for more models are on the screen as well.

Once again, the voice calls to you. “You can use the Sheikah Dex to command your Pokemon. Tap the attack you want it to perform. You cautiously tap the button marked Slash. Honedge zooms towards the vines and slices cleanly through them. Honedge used Slash! flashes at the bottom of the Sheikah Dex’s screen. You and Honedge walk up to the now-uncovered door, and you push it open.

The next room resembles the first, with another pedestal next to a massive door. The voice returns, and says “Touch the Sheikah Dex to the pedestal"

You tap the Sheikah Dex to the pedestal, while Honedge zips around you excitedly. You can hear gears grinding and the door slowly opens.

Sunlight assaults your eyes, making them water and you blink rapidly until you adjust to the light. You slowly walk out of the cave, emerging on a ledge overlooking a massive plateau. You can see forests, plains, and what looks like an arctic landscape spread out before you. It’s…it’s beautiful!

The voice returns one final time.”I’ve marked a location on your map. Please head there as soon as possible.” You pull out your Sheikah Dex, and the left screen activates. You can see a glowing point on the screen. You put the Dex back on your belt. Your adventure is just beginning!

So I'm currently trying to get a shiny Honedge in X, I'm using the Masuda method with a shiny Spanish Ditto and a Japanese Doublade. There is no way I can get the Shiny Charm at the moment as I am far from completing the National Dex, and I currently have four boxes full of hatched Honedge. Is there anything else I could do to help raise the chances of getting a shiny?

I'm trying to make a regional variant for the Honedge line, but I'm awful at making Fakemon. Can someone help me?

What I need help with:

-New Doublade design

-New Aeigislash design

-New evo for Doublade

-Signature move or ability for new evo

Here's a loose idea of what I want:

-New evo retains two bodies

-The sheath for Doublade and the new evo are logs

The new Honedge!

Considering on how we never saw the Honedge evolution line's spectral powers in the anime, would it be possible for an episode where Ash and Goh investigate the mysteries of Honedge, Doublade, and Aegislash?
