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 for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being focused on in the current episode. Through this, the {{an|Giovanni}} in Meowth's imagination rewards {{TRT}} for their generosity, which gives [[Jessie]] and [[James]] the motivation to go through with their next plan. 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 {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Due to the {{FB|Team Rocket|trio}} shifting to a more serious tone, the boss fantasies did not appear in the {{series|Best Wishes}} | 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 for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} being focused on in the current episode.

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. 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.
