In some realities he was the leader of the pantheon, in others, the only thing keeping the legendary birds from killing each other and destroying the world...

These thoughts rolled like thundering clouds in Silver’s mind as they lay at the bottom of their lake. These people and Pokémon, they do everything they can to help him; letting him go at his own pace, answering all of his questions, and making sure to remind him that there’s no need to be ready.

All of it buried. Buried by the storm that was drowning out all else with it’s echoing screeches, all of them being Silver’s own doubts and fears. His memories of the encouragement his friends gave couldn’t penetrate the hurricane clouding his judgement. 

Even if these people in particular weren’t, there were people and Pokémon, all over the world, looking to him for wisdom, for strength, for courage. And it was overwhelming. They cared not that he was inexperienced, that he was only a few years of age, that he didn’t even have a proper example to look to. All they seemingly wished was for him to lead them towards balance, peace, and a world that he couldn’t even begin to comprehend yet.

All these expectations, chained to his heart, dragged him further into the abyss of his own negativity. He should be able to handle this, right...? Of course... After all, he was a legendary... Though at this moment he wished he wasn’t...
