'''Sham''' (Japanese: '''シャム''' ''Siam''), known as '''Chermaine''' in the [[Chuang Yi]]'s English translation of the manga, is one of the children kidnapped by the [[Masked Man]] and raised to be his servants. Sham was one of the sub-leaders of the new [[Team Rocket]] formed in [[Johto]]. 

She is based on [[Ariana]] before she had an official name.

==History==
[[File:Sham mask.png|thumb|left|120px|Sham wearing her mask]]
Sham, along with Carl, debut in ''[[PS110|Piloswine Whine]]'' where they attack an arguing {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}. After Carl's {{p|Piloswine}} and he attempts to call for backup, Sham tells them that they no longer need to be there; they then make their retreat.

Sham and Carl are later seen torturing the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] for their recent defeat at the hands of [[Eusine]] and losing the Pokémon they were tracking, {{p|Suicune}}. They are soon joined by the new leader of Team Rocket, the Masked Man, who decides it is time to start his master plan at Indigo Plateau.

Later, at the Indigo Plateau, Sham and Carl are seen having taken control of the Pokémon League's control room. They are approached by Gold and {{adv|Crystal}} who have come to try to stop them. Sham and Carl use their Pokémon to {{m|Roar|paralyze}} them, but with quick thinking, Gold manages to put their Pokémon to sleep. Despite their Pokémon being asleep, Sham and Carl are still able to fight. Eventually, their Pokémon are defeated with a {{m|Giga Drain}} combination attack that sends their Slowking and Magcargo flying towards them. While Carl is knocked out cold, Sham manages to stay awake long enough to reveal that they were only decoys.

==Pokémon==
She has the following Pokémon:

|desc=Sham's {{p|Slowking}} first appeared when its Trainer and her partner Carl were torturing the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] for failing to catch {{p|Suicune}}. Later on, it was used by Sham to bide time against {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} while the rest of [[Team Rocket]] came towards the [[Indigo Plateau]]. It was defeated after being struck by a {{m|Giga Drain}} while asleep.

Slowking's only known move is {{m|Snore}}.}}

Persian's known moves are {{m|Roar}}. One Persian also knows {{m|Scratch}}.}}
