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.

          Also 
          Maybe for the new recent episode you can have Sareena show up and help Liko with the contest. Sareena giving  advice to Liko and training her would be nice and she did help Chloe 
          
          Maybe  ash competes since he has done contests before and such and it’s fun and irs not a battle so it could make things even between Liko and ash. Ash is pretty creative with his moves so he’s bound to make something cool

Maybe she asks to borrow one of ash’s Pokémon or maybe ash offers one of his to help Liko out

          For the next chapter of Horizons can you have ash take the lead with being the one that befriends and rides  koridan in the race instead of Roy. I  also felt that koridan fit ash very well and it would be so cool seeing him riding it and stuff in the race competing against Liko 
          
          Maybe at the end as an extra thing of it you could have it that koridan actually wants to stay with ash and stuff and get stronger. Ash could  catch it at the end. Ash has gotten ledgendaries before so it makes sense and also it allows ash to get a ledgendary this story like how Liko got terapagos and Roy got rayquaza

@Plushy69 I mean for the koridan and miridan race episode 
            
            Even if you don’t have ash catch it would be cool if you have ash replace Roy here and have him befriend and race on koridan and stuff 
            
            So what do you think?

          Will you have ash and Navi bond like how uruto is doing with her?
          
          It would be pretty interesting to see ash helping Navia with battling alongside uruto in the coming  chapters.
          
          
          Also if possible can you bring in ash’s bulbasaur and squirtle. Maybe the gang in one of there trips in an upcoming episode you can have it they meet  the squirtle squad and Liko thinks ash’s squirtle is downright adorable.

Hi, I read your Ash and Horizons What-If story. I would like to ask you a question. Besides Bloomboltshipping, what other Ash ships would you do if you were to create different Ash ship stories?

Vian257

No way. That's my favorite Horizons ship too

          For the next chapter can you have ash vs Ivor instead of Roy vs ivor
          
          
          It would be cool if you have ash use mega lucario z again.
          
          Maybe you can have it learn another move such as dragon pulse or dark pulse alongside keeping the others  (his snorlax knows 6 moves at once) so it’s not a far fetched thing 
          
          Not to mention you also have ash’s pikachu currently having 5 moves 
          
          Maybe you can have it’s aura getting weirdly massive after the battle and it’s not going down and stuff teasing ash’s lucario getting aura  storm which is lucario’s final smash from smash bros brawl, 4, and ultimate
          
          Just imagine ash’s lucario jumping into the air firing off a giant aura sphere kamehameha like beam. It’s the anime so you can do cool stuff like that.  I mean ash had swellow do thunder armor which horizons also did there copied version of it

Jman0611

@KingNoctis I hope he uses my ideas 
            
            I think ash’s lucario getting access to aura storm would be so cool and it would give ash and lucario something special. Sorta like the next step to Gmax aura sphere
