Dark; a perfect explanation of the space around them. They couldn't see, no, they could barely move. Trying to shift into a more comfortable position, they hit their nose again with the wall that surrounded them. They were patient, sure; They'd been in there for moons. But it was time to be out now, time to see the boundaries beyond their small containment.

The problem now was getting out.

There was no way out, and no way in, however. But maybe if they tried hard enough, there could be a way of escape. Kicking around and pawing, they searched for an exit in the dark. They could feel their encasement wobbling, but that didn't matter. Ever so faintly, they could hear voices, making them more determined to see the owners of the sound.

Suddenly, there was a crack. They paused from their work, and placed a paw on the wall. It was still there, but a line ran through it, letting the slightest bit of light in. Outside! they thought jubilantly.

Just a bit more..

Crack!

Their little paw was free! The space around it felt so much more different now, so fresh and pure. More light flowed in. In a rush of excitement, they continued to paw their way out and, soon enough, another hole was made.

Pushing their muzzle through the hole, many tiny cracking noises were made before the whole thing crumbled. Light filled their eyes, and they stood in only the debris of the egg they only seconds ago were in. Cooing and praise filled the air. Adjusting to the light, they saw many faces, looking admiringly at them.

"What will you name her?"

"Such an adorable, young eevee!"

"You must be so proud, Crystal!"

The tiny little eevee faced the one of them that had yet to speak. No words came from the beautiful pokemon's mouth that gave her the slightest clue who her parents were. But the pride in her eyes was enough to tell her that she was her mother. A warm feeling filled her tiny little body, "Mommy!" The glaceon purred at her baby's response and said to the little eevee,

"Welcome to the world, Icy."
