(Japanese: ロケット団VSプラズマ団!(前編) Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 1)) was intended to be the 23rd episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 680th episode of the Pokémon anime.
This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on March 17, 2011, but was postponed, along with the original BW024, indefinitely because of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. As of Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, its events have been removed from continuity. As of October 2013, TVTokyto's official statement is still that it will someday air, but with the conclusion of the Best Wishes series and beginning of the XY series in Japan, it is unlikely this will ever come to pass.

Trivia
- Unlike the only other skipped episode in Japan, this two-parter was supposed to be important to the overall storyline instead of being a stand-alone episode.
- Had this episode aired in time, it would have marked the anime debuts of Team Plasma and Liepard and the return of Looker.
- Due to Team Plasma's debut being delayed, the Plasma Grunts were never actually shown in their original outfits in the anime, which they were supposed to wear in this episode. When they eventually debuted in Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!, they were seen using their new outfits.
- Scenes highly resembling the scenes seen in this two-parted episode's previews were later used in Meloetta and the Undersea Temple! during Team Rocket's "Operation Tempest".
- In addition, an updated design of the Meteonite's chamber in the Relic Castle is used as the Golden Dark Stone's chamber in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin! and as the Light Stone's chamber in Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!.
- According to Tom Wayland, this episode and the next one were sent to The Pokémon Company International but they never completed dubbing them before being delayed.
