Just out of curiosity, but why do you think Honedge seems more likely? Is there some evidence for it that I've missed? Not trying to say that I think Phantump is necessarily more likely, I think they're both possibilities, I'm just not sure if there's something I missed.
Because Honedge resist Fairy type attacks and has a type advantage over Fairy type pokemon. Where as Phantump has more of advantage over the 7th gym and can help with Psychic type pokemon it would make a bit more sense to give Ash a pokemon that can help him more for the upcoming gym rather then one that would mainly help him in the 7th gym and not so much in the 6th.
