The World Coronation Series Masters Tournament officially commences, but not before all of the members of the Masters Eight are introduced in an opening ceremony. After the introductions, the first round match-ups are revealed. Dande is pit against Alan, Wataru will face Carnet, Shirona is matched up against Iris, and Satoshi will take on Daigo. Next, the battle between Dande and Alan begins. Alan fails to take control for the entirety of the battle, and his ace Pokémon Lizardon is knocked out by Dande’s own Lizardon in the last match-up, eliminating Alan from the tournament. With the win, Dande advances to the second round. (Source: Wikipedia)
