Magazine scans have revealed episode title of episode 24:
5/3 SS024 Take a break, Team Rocket!
Giovanni has ordered all Team Rocket members to rest up. The TRio has decided to relax at a vacation island in the Sinnoh region, but they happened to find Ash and Go who have come to investigate the island. Thinking that "this is a good chance to steal Pikachu", TRio is all fired up; but if they work here, they would be going against Giovanni's orders. At the same time, Matori, heading the Matori Matrix, has appeared on the island, and is starting to steal the Pokemon on the island. TRio thus decided to hide their identities, to help Ash?!
I don't know how to translate the staff names
脚本:面出明美
分镜:浅田裕二
演出:浅田裕二
作画监督:岩根雅明,志村泉
Edit: The magazine didn't outright say "Matori Matrix", but rather that she is leading an elite team.
But come on! That is definitely the Matori Matrix!
I'm also hoping the vacation island is one of James' resort homes
I'll just move my translation from the other thread over here:
Also, one of the animation directors for this episode is Masaaki Iwane
Omode, Asada, Iwane and Shimura? Damn, the people behind this episode makes it seem like it'll be quite important.Screenplay 面出明美 (Akemi Omode)

It makes a huge difference. By using anime exclusive locations over and over, coupled with the fact that the next episode will be set wherever the plot demands it to be regardless of the transition between the two areas, only harms the world building of the series. Not to mention, these anime exclusive locations have not been showing having anything unique about them and might as well be anywhere in the world instead of the mentioned location.but it hardly makes a difference.
It could easily take place in the Battle Zone. Just where the Resort Area is in the games.Resort Area is part of a fairly large island (which can't be fully explored in-game), which I wouldn't call a vacation island. The island in this episode is probably anime-exclusive, but it hardly makes a difference.
Reminder that even the Sinnoh League was moved to a different island.
They're using an in-game area over an anime-exclusive area. I'd count that as a plus.It's going to serve the exact same purpose. It's a weird decision, but there's nothing special about the Resort Area. And this has always been a problem with the anime.
