BW024 (unaired): Difference between revisions

[[Team Plasma]] carries out a massive attack on the Castelia City masquerade party and steals the [[Meteonite]] from [[Team Rocket]], hoping to use it to control Pokémon into turning against their trainers. While [[Giovanni]], [[Pierce]], [[Dr. Zager]] and the rest of the team fall back, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are sent to 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 that power up the two teams' Pokémon but also creates an imbalance in nature.

[[Looker]] and [[Professor Juniper]] escort {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to the Desert Resort in hopes of stopping the Meteonite and getting [[Pikachu]] back to normal. 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 and Pikachu battle to overcome both Team Rocket and Team Plasma while finding a way to stop the Meteonite from destroying Castelia City.

* The depiction of Team Plasma in these episodes differs significantly from how they would be depicted from their official debut in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'' and onward. While they still want to put Pokémon under mind control, the Plasma grunts in these episodes state their desire is to liberate Pokémon from their trainers and that they're doing this in service of "the hero." This suggests a different story arc based on the first games of Generation V was planned for the first incarnations of Team Plasma to feature in but it got scrapped as of the release of the sequels, the anime using the second incarnation of Team Plasma instead.
