(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 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

Giovanni arrives in Unova to oversee the collection of the Meteonite from the Relic Castle. Meanwhile, Ash, Iris and Cilan travel to the Desert Resort with Professor Juniper and Officer Jenny to investigate why a swarm of Venipede attacked Castelia City in the previous episode. However, their helicopter is shot down, and they encounter three members of a mysterious organization.

After collecting the Meteonite, Giovanni and the rest of Team Rocket return to Castelia City for a masquerade party to celebrate their success. Looker appears, picks up Ash's group and helps them infiltrate the party, at which Giovanni is set to give a speech to the members of Team Rocket.
