A decade ago, the Arata League Tacita conference unfurled as an unparalleled spectacle, etching itself into the annals of anticipation. In a riveting display of prowess, a young prodigy ascended to the pinnacle, clinching victory in the exhibition match with a mere duo of Pokémon at her side, defying the conventional six-Pokémon norm. This enigmatic victor was none other than Azalea, who, at the tender age of 20, now bore the title of Arata's Crimson Queen.
Azalea's journey had traversed diverse regions, earning her badges and assembling a formidable team of six Pokémon. With an insatiable wanderlust, she set her sights on the uncharted territories of the Galar region, accompanied by newfound companions.
Her venture into the Galar region marked a seamless voyage until her prowess caught the discerning eye of Arata's reigning champion, leading to an unexpected invitation to the prestigious Masters 8 tournament. What she initially perceived as just another hurdle on her path unveiled itself as a labyrinth of unforeseen twists and turns.
Azalea, a seasoned and resilient trainer, had anticipated a routine expedition, encountering minor challenges in Galar. Instead, she found herself unravelling mysteries not only about the region but also about her own convictions and family ties. Haunted by a concealed trauma, Azalea, burdened by the weight of her past, embarked on a global odyssey with her newfound companions, hoping to weather the storms awaiting her as she did in the solitude of other regions.
Yet, with chains of guilt and the relentless pressure of the unknown tugging at her every step, the question lingers: Can Azalea muster the strength to forgive herself, or will she succumb to the encroaching darkness once more? As she traverses the tumultuous path ahead, the world eagerly awaits the resolution of her internal struggle amidst the challenges that lie in wait.

If Leon vs. Alain, or the Tournament in the anime is not your cup of tea, why not read another version of the Masters 8?
The story continues from Pokemon Journeys episode 109, with a brand new bracket from the anime. Ash has finally entered the Masters 8 Tournament! Could 10-year-old Ash with 25 years of battling experience win the tournament and achieve his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master?
This is my first story, and it is a battle-focused story. Feel free to leave some comments and feedback. Enjoy the story!
Congratulations to you, Ash Ketchum! You have become the World Champion after 25 years of journey. Now that you are going to retire from the franchise (as the main character), this story is written in your honor.
[Book is currently on hiatus. It's a tough decision to make. Thank you for your support so far. I wish to be back and wrap up the story someday!]
