Happy July guys!
          	
          	The latest Bonus Chapter – “Ash vs Red! 4v3 Battle!” is now published (https://www.wattpad.com/1594702884-pokemon-journeys-masters-8-tournament-bonus-7-ash). The epic battle for the World Champion Ash to show his skills in front of his dad was underway! Supposedly, it was a 3v3 battle, then why did it become 4v3? Dive in and check it out!
          	
          	Ash vs Red has been a battle that I longed to write. If we consider 6v6 will spend too much time, 3v3 should have a decently good pace. It’s just roughly 8000 words for this battle. It is also a fight for Red to keep up to his promise and battle his son after his Time Lock Removal Surgery in the previous chapter.
          	
          	By the way, World Cup 2026 has arrived! Which team do you think will become the Champion? My bet is on France. But I want to applaud Cape Verde’s overall performance, considering that this is their first time getting into World Cup. They had outstanding performances, never giving up in front of Champion-level teams. I never expected them to even have points, but they somehow got through group stage and scored goals against Argentina and drew against Spain. What a dark horse! You’ve earned my respect!
          	
          	You should still treat this book as “finished”. Please don’t have any expectations that another Bonus Chapter will appear. Thanks a lot, and enjoy the weekend!
          	
          	Cheers,

Introducing two new fanmade Pokémon that will appear in my story.
          
          [Crudol], the Crude Oil Pokémon, is a Water/Fire type.
          [Gaso], the Natural Gas Pokémon, is a Poison/Flying type.
          
          Crudol and Gaso are commonly sighted in the Unova Region, though they actually originate from a place known as "The Distant Lands". Gaso is the natural counterpart to Crudol, and the two are almost always discovered together in their natural environment. Trainers often describe naturally found Crudol as wearing a perfume made of Gaso.
          
          Crudol is highly flammable. By burning its own fluid body, it can produce massive quantities of thermal energy and electricity. Since Unova is a global hub for heavy industry, transportation, and technology, Crudol is a high-in-demand resource. The Unova Champion has officially endorsed Pokémon Trainers to mass-capture Crudol for production purposes, even if it requires hunting them in other regions.
          
          Gaso lacks physical substance and moves rapidly through the air, so there have been no recorded instances of Trainers catching one with a Pokéball. However, they can be transported through specialized suction tubes. Because Gaso cannot produce as much energy as Crudol, Trainers often over-capture Crudol and leave the Gaso behind. This has created many "widowed" Gaso.
          
          It is rumored that these widowed Pokémon are forming large swarms to strike back against the Unova government in an attempt to reclaim their lost partners. The Gaso gang has formed a military alliance with "The Distant Lands" to battle the Unova Government, hoping to free Crudol from the hands of the Unova Pokémon Trainers.
          
          Unova Trainers frequently use "The Strait" to enter and leave "The Distant Lands". To cope with the ongoing conflict, "The Distant Lands" has recently closed "The Strait" to prevent Trainers from leaving, ensuring that Crudol can be preserved within the region.
          
          Happy April Fools, everyone!

@EE3Roa I thought of it before. I don't like the ghost type of Gastly and how it is made of souls, for this particular setting. I also cannot imagine how Natural Gas can evolve into Gengar lol.
            
            Might as well make a new Pokemon. Gaso is the pun for "Gasoline". A good choice to be the pokemon of the day.

@PsychicMagic there is Gastly the Gen1 Ghost it is literally Gas. The Crude Oil is Good but pair it with Gastly.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
          
          Hey guys! PsychicMagic here! Bonus 6 is out (https://www.wattpad.com/1589339340-pokemon-journeys-masters-8-tournament-bonus-6-ash), finally we get to fix Ash’s not-growing-up problem.
          
          After so long, we get to know why Ash couldn’t grow up and how it affected the others. And now, his dad Red had the solution to solve this problem. A major plot hole is filled (phew!)
          
          As a promise to completing the Time Lock Removal Surgery, Red will be having a Pokemon Battle against Ash in the next bonus chapter. That is, if I have the time and capacity to write the next chapter haha.
          
          You should still treat this book as “finished”. Please don’t have any expectations that another Bonus Chapter will appear. Thanks a lot, and enjoy the weekend!
