Pherhaps one could make a global variable for the background sprite/image index and change the sprite/image index based on the presence of an enemy type?

Not a bad idea! I'm still kind of noob at coding, so I'll have to figure this one out. Do you have any links to resources I could possibly use to guide me?

Thank you for that! I was looking more to on coding resources on how to code the background scene change, depending on where the character starts the battle.

I do appreciate the effort you've put in for finding this. It's kinda been a self-help group over here for the last little bit, lol.
