Hello everyone, over the past week or so I've noticed a bit of discourse surronding the latest Ash in Horizons chapter. It looked like a tame disagreement within a single comment thread but now it seems to be ramping up into a full argument. So I would like to say a few things:
          	
          	Please try to be respectful to all your fellow commenters, everyone enjoys the fics to some degree even if there's diferent aspects people like or dislike. I'm flattered by all the support and feedback from those who only want my stories to  get better, but it should never come at the cost of demeaning other people's perspectives.
          	
          	I didn't realize Roy had won against Ash before, I forgot I had Kilowattrel and Rowlet battle in a previous chapter. So that was my mistake, that being said, I still think having Roy win against Ash in the latest chapter was a better narrative choice in regards to Roy's development.
          	
          	I'd like to make it clear that I will not be going back and editing previous chapters after they've been published, with the exception of the remasters. (Which only apply to chapters 1-70 btw).  Especially not to change the story, even if I regret making a narrative decision. Not even grammar errors because I post both here and on AO3.
          	
          	I didn't want Ash to be a Mary Sue, which is why I made him lose battles more than people would've liked. It was my way of humanizing him. That being said, I still think Ash wins a majority of the battles he faces within the fic.
          	
          	I really hope we can learn something from all this, I really didn't want to cause conflict or talk back to fans of my stories, but I don't think it's right to insult others just because they agree/disagree with my story decisions. I also don't think it's right to just ask the author to change their story just because you may not like how the events played out. Since at the end of the day it's their creative vision.

@syedabirhassan2023 I wouldn’t say you did anything wrong. You were just open that you didn’t like a story decision. I only really stepped in cause it seemed like the other two were genuinely arguing. If anything you were the most innocent one. I do appreciate your apology though.

@Plushy69 I'm sorry as well I was the one who started this mess. It's my fault . And I truly apologise. It just that I didn't notice that Ash retired Anime. And it just hurted me. I am so sorry.

          What if you have the fans also be massive fans of ash. Maybe you can have it that the Roy look alike changes outfits between ash’s outfit and Roy’s outfit 
          
          With the new episode can you have ash and Liko team up to take on the mega raichu x and y. It would be cool if you have ash have his pikachu pull of the move he did against lt surges raichu by putting its tail into the ground sending the electricity from the volt tacklers into ground to take away and stop the damage.
          
          
          Maybe you can end it on a gigavolt havick and flower trick team up attack

            Also if you don’t want to use pikachu and the tail in the ground strategy maybe you can use Gengar
            
            It would be pretty cool ash using its more prankimh and mess around nature to confuse the mega raichu’s

@Plushy69 I mean sure I guess.
            
             I mean then maybe you can switch up who they battle 
            
            You can Liko and ash take on the dot and Liko fan fan together. 
            
            And then have Roy take on Ritchie.
            
            
            Also I know this is random but can you have the mom tease Liko about her relationship with ash since they seem very very close which can cause Liko to blush and get all nervous 
            
            Doesn’t have to mean you do a romance but it could be a funny misdirect romance tease

I was thinking I could just have Ritchie return since he preset much is an Ash lookalike. Their Japanese names are even similar. And the fans could be his new friends.

          Can you have ash catch Koridan in this arc. Sorta like Pokémon scarlet where ash saves and befriends koridan and it wants to go with ash and gain back it’s strength and stuff 
          
          It would be so cool especially since as of late in Pokémon ash has gotten ledgendary’s or mythical’s. 
          
          
          Also I think it would be cool if ash continues being the captain of the rising volt tacklers 
          
          Maybe with this new episode you can have Misty reunite with ash and meet the group and help them with there fishing and helping with the feebas

syedabirhassan2023

Hey @Plushy69 there is a new episode of Pokémon horizon that Liko caught a Feebas. And an episode of Mega Raichu XandY (no idea if there the same episode) why don't you make them.
          And can you make Ash and Roy have a 3 on 3 battle? And this time Ash goes all out and defeats Roy. Also please Ash and Silver also have 3V3 battle and Ash defeats Silver as well without losing a single Pokémon. And please make a special moment between Ash and Liko.
          (I hope I'm not being selfish or anything because I am saying to make Ash win.)

          Maybe you can have it that ash somehow can also mega evolve his lucario into its z form like in the manga when the x and y protagonist did it
          
          Maybe it could be just like how Roy and amenthio end up mega evolving there ledgendary 
          
          That way ash gets something special to with having 2 mega evolved Pokémon at once with that being his ash Greninja and lucario going into its z form 
          
          I kinda hope you end up doing that especially with ash’s lucario learning aura storm which i said before is the final smash for lucario from smash bros. It could be a good showing of how strong ash’s bond and aura is with lucario and in turn it created a move that no one has ever seen before

Jman0611

I also got a wild idea that I think you could do
          
          What if when spinel’s umbreon leaves spinel after spinel broke its bond with it it stares at ash and sees ash’s bond with his Pokémon and it either decides to leave for now then at the end of the episode when the gang leaves on the ship it acruallh follows ash and wants to be caught by ash and stuff
          
          
          Or it can happen in spinel’s face  right after Ash and Liko defeat spinel and stuff and umbreaon refuses to go into spinels pokeball
          
          
          Also ash having a umbreon is cool

Jman0611

And ash welcomes it to the group.
            
            It could be very interesting because ash would never break irs bond with his Pokémon. Also I can see a nice scene where all of ash’s current Pokémon on him welcome him to the team 
            
            
            Also I think it would be nice if friede says to ash that the rising volt tacklers couldn’t be in better hands and that he hopes ash keeps looking out for everyone as long as he is captain

          Can you please  have ash have Greninja use the giant orange glowing water shuriken like in the kalos league with lucario using Gmax aura sphere (or maybe ash’s lucario learn aura storm from smash bros)  and pikachu using 10,000,000 volt Thunderbolt and that all combines together or follows  alongside with Roy’s mega rayquaza’s flaming dragon ascent to destroy the core.
          
          It would be so cool
          
          
          Maybe even after ash and Liko can team up together against spinel to take him down 
          
          
          Also what if ash comforts Liko after having to let go of terapagos and she pulls him into a hug while she cries with ash comforting her 
          
          
          I think it would be a nice and cool ending
