Hey everyone,
          	
          	I hope you had an amazing 2024, and are ready to welcome 2025. To celebrate this wonderful last day of 2024, I have published a new chapter for Ash vs Leon as previously promised.
          	
          	Here is the link to the chapter if you haven’t read it yet (https://www.wattpad.com/1495379801-pokemon-journeys-masters-8-tournament-chapter-43).
          	
          	December Upload Schedule:
          	Ash vs Leon Part 3: Urshifu’s Secret – 2024/12/24 (Done)
          	Ash vs Leon Part 4: Kung Fu Fighting – 2024/12/25 (Done)
          	Ash vs Leon Part 5: Charizard’s Dominance – 2024/12/26 (Done)
          	Ash vs Leon Part 6: Pokemon Master – 2024/12/31 (Done)
          	
          	Took me quite a few months to get these 6 chapters (including two earlier ones for Amourshipping week) written. Most of them were completed well before I published them. I only finished up the last section of Part 6 up till December 30. For the moment, I have no more drafts, and we are reaching the end of the battle, so things should wrap up.
          	
          	Wish you all happiness in 2025! I shall return to hiatus.

Hey everyone,
          
          Christmas surprise! I will be publishing 4 new chapters to celebrate Christmas and the end of the year with all of you, which is the continuation of Ash vs Leon’s finals battle. The first new chapter is already out today on Christmas Eve (2024/12/24)! Here is the link to the chapter if you haven’t read it yet (https://www.wattpad.com/1480890127-pokemon-journeys-masters-8-tournament-chapter-40).
          
          Schedule for the next few chapters:
          Ash vs Leon Part 4 – 2024/12/25
          Ash vs Leon Part 5 – 2024/12/26
          Ash vs Leon Part 6 – 2024/12/31
          
          Thank you for the reads, votes, and comments from all of you for my Masters 8 book so far. I know it’s not yet a finished book, and I mentioned in June that I would like to take a break to fix my life, there was a part in me that wanted to finish up at least Ash vs Leon. Because some people believe that it was an easier said than done task and they didn’t think I could do it.
          
          But at the same time, I didn’t want people to know that I am still writing (to relief some stress from work), so I didn’t post the chapters even when they were finished. By the time I am writing this announcement (which is also prepared in advance), I have finished writing up to Part 5 of Ash vs Leon, yet I only published till Part 2 just to celebrate Amourshipping Week.
          
          I got a lot of support from you guys when I kind of announced my recent situation two posts ago. I was touched by your encouraging words. Thank you so much! I never realized that those thoughts were suicidal and can affect other readers – I really only wanted to share my true story that happened recently, and what was in my mind when I wrote the announcement. If that post had affected your mood, I hope you can forgive me.
          
          Enjoy the new chapter and stay tuned for another chapter tomorrow! Wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

@AmourshipperFDM but thanks for that. Speaking of that horse friend, maybe he is not as wild as ever. He probably won't be uploading another 4 chapters in succession anymore. It's too much of a surprise and effort for him.

AmourshipperFDM

@ PsychicMagic  I think I disagree. He's probably more wild as ever. But I do think you're right on the uploading part. I will be reading during christmas! :)

Hey PsychicMagic!
          
          It’s been a while.  Just wanted to check in and see if you’re feeling better now, since last I remembered you, you were having some trouble in life.
          
          Just curious, and take your time, but do you know when the next chapter of the Masters 8 Rewrite will come out?  It’s totally fine if you don’t have an answer just yet.
          
          Hang in there man,

Of course!
            
            I love Sonic 2, but I think Sonic 3 might be my favorite movie ever once it comes out.  With everything Paramount has shown us so far, I'm so excited for it this Friday!!
            
            I actually have no idea what my family is doing for Christmas this year.  My brother is coming back from college this week to spend a little time with us, but that's all I know.  I'm just glad to take a while off from school.
            
            Happy Holidays!

@Its_DavyJones haha I hope 2025 is gonna be better. Thanks for cheering me up! 
            
            No worries. This would be said in the very near future anyways.
            
            I have some other activities planned for Christmas. Sonic 3 is a good option, but let me watch Sonic 2 first lol. Need to get the franchise done first.
            
            What about you? Any plans for Christmas?

That's good that you've at least made some improvement, but I hope 2025 will treat you much better!  No problem!
            
            Oh man, sorry!  Can't wait for their releases, but take as much time as you need like I said before.  I feel kinda bad now that I've revealed a secret...
            
            Speaking of ending 2024 on a good note, do you plan to go see Sonic 3 when it releases???  Or are you not much of a Sonic fan?
            
            Excited for Christmas!

Publishing the next chapter to celebrate the end of the Amourshipping week, the final weekend of October, plus Halloween. Some parts of me I still aim to finish the entire fight, so that my story could have a proper ending.
          
          Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Happy Amourshipping Day everyone! I haven’t celebrated this day before in my writing journey, so as a gift for all of you, I am publishing another chapter of my story for you guys (https://www.wattpad.com/1476674937-pokemon-journeys-masters-8-tournament-chapter-38). Can’t believe the year I celebrate this, we are looking at an XY game remake lol.
          
          The book is still pretty much on hiatus. Finding ways to fix my life is a tough job. Let me share a recent experience.
          
          A few weeks ago, some colleagues asked me a question, “What do you like to do in your free time?”
          
          A very simple question that took me 30 seconds to think about, until I said singing. But they didn’t trust me because I had thought for too long, and they didn’t mind knowing some of my bad interests. So I told them this.
          
          “Last year, I spent most of the year working on the weekdays and studying on the weekends. My schedule was so packed that the only free time I had was midnight. To release the stress at work and study, I would drive my family's 7-seat car into the mountains at midnight at very high speed, reaching 120-130 km/h when it’s only allowed 50. Driving fast is the only interest I have that I like. It’s the only time I feel free and happy. And if I ever crash and die, at least I die doing something that I like. I DIE HAPPY.”
          
          They were flipping speechless, and I was crying so hard. That was the time when I realized my life was more messed up than I thought. My boss told me to get a therapist, and I told him if I die like that, I can save that cost as well.
          
          So yeah, I don’t think I am ready, just like what I said in the Author’s Note, you can still expect the hiatus. And if you haven’t seen me updating or saying trash on Discord, I am most likely not here anymore. No need to miss me.
          
          Anyways, enough of me ranting, enjoy the day and the chapter!

@Serperiorshiny I am not very good at sharing negative thoughts and experience on Discord, but at a point I feel like you guys should know that this has a probability to happen.
            
            Let's not ruin the mood haha. You have never heard or seen anything I have written above, okay? Thanks brotherman!

@PsychicMagic  Oh dear.... I didn't expected this story though. Take care! Cheer up brotherman! There is whole life ahead of yourself, don't end it up like that, man.

@TheHomeDepo Writing is fine, but I need to think and use my brain for that, and I don't prefer that after a tough day of work. Singing is a lot better if you ask me, but it can affect my family. Racetrack for cars I have to go to another city, for karts... They are too slow for my taste lol. I am always open for track days, but recent events I have to miss all of them because of work and family issues... 
            
            I admitted these to my boss and colleagues because they kept flipping asking me! I don't have much interest, and the only thing I could think of was driving like that. But I can't tell them this because this leaves a very bad impression of myself, so I could only stall their time and think of other kinds of interest, and it took me half a minute to bounce out the word singing. What can I do if they say they don't trust me and want to hear my true thoughts? Of course I tell them and then I break down...
            
            I don't really know how to put this, but outside of work, this is one of the only things I have in my life right now that I like man. I don't know what to do.
