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 segment debuted in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', but became regular only after ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', appearing as often as the {{motto}} and blast offs during the Hoenn saga. 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 ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', although much less frequently than before.

This is the first fantasy with an item instead of a Pokémon, as well as the first time a negative effect appears in Meowth's fantasy scene (Giovanni's mouth becomes black from Bluk Berry juice), though only James mentions it verbally.
