{{ | No sooner have {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] arrived at [[Wyndon Stadium]] for the long-awaited [[World Coronation Series]] [[Masters Tournament]] that [[Hop]] runs up to them and demands a {{pkmn|battle}} with Ash, despite being fully aware of his status as a member of the Master Class. Not one to turn down a challenge, Ash immediately accepts, but the match ends up being short-lived, as {{AP|Pikachu}} defeats Hop's {{p|Wooloo}} with a single {{m|Iron Tail}}. To Ash and Goh's surprise, Hop reveals that he's {{an|Leon}}'s younger brother, having sworn to be the one to defeat his big brother. Nearby, {{TRT}} is hosting a live stream of [[JN106|their radio show]] to cover the tournament, although their main goal is to scout out strong Pokémon for them to steal. | ||
After reuniting with {{an|Iris}} on his way to the locker room and the rest of the Master Class in said room, Ash joins them for the opening ceremony. One by one, the announcer introduces the Masters Eight to the audience: Ash, the first {{pkmn|Champion}} of [[Alola]]; Iris, the aspiring [[Type expert|Dragon Master]] and young Champion of [[Unova]]; [[Alain]], a [[Mega Stone]] excavator and the winner of the [[Lumiose Conference]]; [[Diantha]], the famous actress and Champion of [[Kalos]]; [[Lance]], a member of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] and the newly crowned Champion of [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]; [[Steven Stone]], the heir of the [[Devon Corporation]] and the Champion of [[Hoenn]]; {{an|Cynthia}}, a renowned authority in Pokémon archeology and the Champion of [[Sinnoh]]; and Leon, the undefeated [[Galar]] Champion and the reigning Monarch. With the introductions done, the match-ups of the first round are selected. Leon will battle Alain, Lance is set to confront Diantha, Cynthia will face Iris, and Steven is pitted against Ash. While the other Champions return to the locker room to wait for their respective turns, Ash joins Goh and Hop in the stands to experience the atmosphere of the battle first-hand. | |||
Leon and Alain enter the battlefield to begin their match. [[Gym guide|Dan]] recites the rules, including that the matches in the first round will be three-on-three. At his signal, the two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s send out their first Pokémon, with Alain leading with {{p|Chesnaught}} and Leon choosing {{p|Rillaboom}}, making the first match-up a clash between {{t|Grass}} types. Alain makes the first move with {{m|Hammer Arm}}, after which Leon surprises everyone by going for his [[Gigantamax]] right off the bat, summoning Gigantamax Rillaboom onto the battlefield. His first attack comes in the form of a {{m|G-Max Drum Solo}}. While the [[G-Max Move]] is able to penetrate Chesnaught's {{m|Spiky Shield}}, the {{pkmn|category|Spiny Armor Pokémon}} still withstands it, like Alain had planned. Rillaboom next attacks with {{m|Max Airstream}}, which Chesnaught rides with {{m|Gyro Ball}}. Chesnaught manages to land a hit on its opponent, though backstage, Diantha notes that Rillaboom's {{stat|Speed}} has now increased as a result of Max Airstream. After blocking Chesnaught's {{m|Pin Missile}} with {{m|Max Quake}}, Rillaboom reverts to its normal form and proceeds to use its Speed increase to outmaneuver Chesnaught's Gyro Ball and defeat it with {{m|Acrobatics}}, giving Leon the first knockout. | |||
Alain's next choice is his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}}, who easily powers through Rillaboom's {{m|Drum Beating}} with {{m|Flare Blitz}} and deals a {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} hit, taking Rillaboom out and evening the odds. Leon responds by sending out his own {{p|Charizard}}. However, after an exchange of attacks, Alain figures he can't get close enough and [[recall]]s Charizard in favor of {{p|Malamar}}, hoping to use it to turn things around. This hope is soon crushed, however, as Malamar's {{m|Psycho Cut}} is blocked by a {{m|Fire Blast}}, and the Overturning Pokémon's attempt to use {{m|Throat Chop}} ends with it being grabbed and taken down by a close-range Fire Blast, leaving Alain with just his Charizard, which rejoins the battle while Leon announces that he will keep his own Charizard out. Alain declares that it's his goal to surpass Leon's Charizard, and uses his [[Mega Ring]] to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his partner into Mega Charizard X. Alain's Charizard powers through its opponent's {{m|Ancient Power}} with {{m|Dragon Claw}} and deals a successful hit, but its subsequent Flare Blitz results in it getting struck by a point-blank super effective {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, defeating it and eliminating Alain from the tournament. | |||
With Leon moving on to the semifinals, the first battle of the first round of the Masters Tournament has come to a close. Alain accepts his loss and swears to redo his {{pkmn|training}} in preparation for a [[rematch]]. To decide Leon's next opponent, Lance and Diantha leave the locker room and step out onto the battlefield, preparing to start their own battle. | |||
