(Japanese: ロケット団VSプラズマ団!(後編) Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan! (Part 2)) was intended to be the 24th episode of the Best Wishes series, and the 681st episode of the Pokémon anime.
This episode was originally scheduled to air in Japan on March 24, 2011, but was postponed, along with the original BW023, 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 September 2014, TVTokyo'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, it is unlikely this will ever come to pass.
Plot
Team Plasma carries out a massive attack on Team Rocket's masquerade party and steals the Meteonite. Jessie, James and Meowth pursue Team Plasma back to the Desert Resort, where a great conflict breaks out. However, during the fighting, the Meteonite becomes unstable and begins releasing large blasts of energy.
Looker and Professor Juniper escort Ash and his friends to the Desert Resort. As they arrive, they discover that the situation with the Meteonite has escalated into a disaster that threatens to destroy all of Castelia City. Ash battles to overcome both Team Rocket and Team Plasma while finding a way to stop the Meteonite from destroying Castelia City.

Trivia
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:
- This and the previous episode are the only Best Wishes series episodes that were skipped.
- 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, it would have marked the final appearance of Pierce.
- Coincidentally, the 24th episode of the XY series was also skipped. However, unlike this, it eventually aired in South Korea.
- The scene with Liepard attacking a skyscraper with Hyper Beam with two Team Plasma Grunts alongside it on a helicopter is reused for the Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N opening, Be an Arrow! 2013, although it is newly animated rather than taken directly from the episode. The differences is that Aldith and Barret are in the scene (who have their uniforms designs from Black 2 and White 2) instead of one Team Plasma Grunt with the original Black and White uniform.
