Everyone held their breath. The egg wobbled back and forth on the table, and then a small hole appeared on one side...
Tracey watched closely... he grabbed his sketchbook. As a Pokémon watcher, he couldn't miss this. He scribbled a quick sketch.
He looked up just in time to see a nose poke through the hole. There was a scrabbling sound, the egg rolled about a little, the hole became bigger, and a head appeared.
Tracey and Misty gasped together. "Isn't that... Mew?" Tracey asked in an awed tone.
"I... think so," Oak whispered.
The small blue Pokémon carefully cracked its way out of the shell. It stared around at the amazed watchers. "Mew!" it said, in what sounded like a small sneeze.
"It's so cute!" Misty whispered.
"It is a shiny Pokémon!" Tracey added.
"It's so tiny..." Brock commented.
"Is it really Mew?" Ash asked.
Prof Oak nodded, too shocked too speak.
The Pokémon looked around at them all with its big green eyes. "Mew?"
"Pikachu pika pii kachu," Pikachu said.
"What's that Pikachu?" Ash asked.
"Pii pika pika chu chu chu!"
"`It's just a baby and it can't speak properly yet'?"
Everyone laughed.
"I'll have to tell the other researchers," Oak said happily. "Living proof of Mew! Elm is going to live to regret the day he said `Oak, would you like to take a look at this egg?'!"
