The '''boss fantasy''' (Japanese: '''ニャース妄想''' ''{{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} delusion'') is a segment in the [[Pokémon anime]] in which {{MTR}} thinks of practical uses {{an|Giovanni}} can make of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being focused on in the current episode. Through this, the Giovanni in Meowth's imagination rewards {{TRT}} for their generosity, which gives [[Jessie]] and [[James]] the motivation to go through with their next plan, only for [[Ash's friends|The Heroes]] to go after and foil. The segment often depicts Giovanni in humorous and exaggerated situations. | The '''boss fantasy''' (Japanese: '''ニャース妄想''' ''{{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} delusion'') is a segment in the [[Pokémon anime]] in which {{MTR}} thinks of practical uses {{an|Giovanni}} can make of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being focused on in the current episode.

The segment appeared less often in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Due to the {{FB|Team Rocket|trio}} shifting to a more serious tone, the boss fantasies did not appear in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', though afterwards they made a return in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'' only, after an absence of 172 episodes. | ||

It can be noted that the Giovanni in such fantasies almost always says he will reward "Meowth and his friends" for bringing (Pokémon so and so) instead of "Jessie, James and Meowth" or a variation of that. This can be attributed to the fact that Meowth is usually the one who dreams up these fantasies, and his ego causes him to imagine Giovanni rewarding him first, then his friends. In one episode, James finishes off the fantasy, where he imagines Giovanni saying "James and his friends" instead. Occasionally, Meowth will imagine Giovanni in {{wp|Chibi (term)|chibi}} form while in others, Meowth will imagine Giovanni with a muscle-covered body. | It can be noted that the Giovanni in such fantasies almost always says he will reward "Meowth and his friends" for bringing (Pokémon so and so) instead of "Jessie, James and Meowth" or a variation of that.
