A Shadow's Light (Pokémon Fanfiction)

Chapter 20

Silver's P.O.V.

I heard a knock on the door and it opened to show Storm in the doorway, "You ready Brother?"

I sighed, "I'm not sure... What if I mess something up?"

Storm shook her head and laughed a little, "Silver, you've gotta have faith in yourself brother. Just remember that this is for the best, and that we will always have your back. I'm no Rocket, because I have a Tribe to take care of, but if you need me, just call." She then took out a brush and attempted to tame the notch of hair that will never stay down in the top of my head.

She had no success.

She shook her head and let it a sigh, "Never mind. You still look wonderful. Now get out there. I'll be watching you." She sent me to the doors to the main room. Archer and Petral were waiting for me. They both bowed in my presence and stood on each side of me. The signal of my arrival sounded and I took a deep breath.

It's time.

The doors opened and I walked down the center lane. All attention from the crowd was on me now, and I was surprisingly calm.

'I had Archer use his Gangar put a spell on you to give you confidence and calm you down.' Storm said.

'Thanks sis.' I send her the message mentally back.

I walk until I reach the Throne platform. I turned around like I practiced earlier, and watched Archer, Proton, Ariana, and Petral come down the side lanes.

They came up behind me and went two by two on each side of me (Authors Note: Is it just me, or did that sound really cheesy? Just me? Oh well. Let's continue.).

I then closed my eyes and let the encouragement of the crowd soak into me. These were my people now. And I would rein over them now.

And I can feel Archer place the Team Rocket crown on my head.

I open my eyes, and Archer speaks to me, "Do you, Silver Earthen, accept the position as the Team Rocket leader? To take responsibility of your people? To lead us into battle when needed any to bring us times of peace when possible?"

I speak next, "I, Silver Earthen, take the responsibilities of Team Rocket's leader. I shall guide the Team to the best of my abilities."

And everyone bowed In my presence as I walked back down the passage and through the doors.

They closed and I sighed in relief, "That went a lot better than I expected."

Archer chuckled, "Of course it did. You are perfection Boss Silver. And we shall serve you faithfully and loyally to the very end."

I smiled. The Title of 'Boss' sounded good on me.

"Well what are we waiting for? We just crowned a new King! Let us celebrate!" Amber said as she appeared from behind me. Must of teleported again. I hope Storm teaches me to do that one day.

I loom back to Amber and she is smiling big, "Congratulations Cousin! You are the perfect leader for Team Rocket!"

That's right everyone.

I'm the Leader of Team Rocket
