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}} and {{ashfr}} to go after and foil when it is carried out. 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.
