A wild HONEDGE appears!

[ofpromisedvictory]

[Action - The Verdant Forest]

[On your way to/from Caldera for the festivities? Wandering out in search of Pokémon? Fleeing from a flock of Spearow? Odds are that you might run into a Honedge wandering the woods. They're not completely uncommon in Union, but finding them in the wild outside of ruins is almost unheard of. Too bad it's not Shiny...]

[It's definitely behaving oddly, though. Rather than going for the immediate attack, as many Wild Pokémon do, it's...lurking. Observing, actually. It's too honorable to lurk. But it seems to be hesitating about approaching for a little bit.]

[At this point, you can choose your path, almost like it's some sort of visual representation of a novel with multiple options given to the reader:]

1

[Approach the Honedge with Pokémon ready to attack, or with a Warp Band as if you're about to try to bond it (she, actually), and she'll unsheathe herself, ready for a fight.]

2

[Start speaking plainly, or wait long enough for the Honedge to get comfortable, and the Honedge Shifts into the form of a young lady in an old-fashioned dress, who immediately bows in greeting.]

Greetings. I ask of you - do you know the way to a place called "Union City"?

Oh, the swamp ruins? Guess that makes sense, since that's normally where people would find your fellow Honedge. Been thinking about visiting that place myself someday.

As long as you're polite to the ghosts, you shouldn't have too much trouble there.

[lunchleader]

Of course, I'm respectful!

[Night Eyes opens one eye to glare up at Right.]

...what? I am! Not my fault if some of them are bullies!

[ofpromisedvictory]

A few of my brethren like to play tricks, it's true. If you can defend yourself, it still shouldn't be a problem.

[lunchleader]

That's good to know...

[After a few moments, the walls of Union comes into view.] Ah, looks like we're just about there.
