Okay, here is chapter four. You are finally getting to meet some of the apprentices! I hope you enjoy the new chapter! BTW, this is the longest chapter so far!

Uxie sighed. He was bored beyond belief. He couldn't leave the cave with the egg because he'd be endangering the it and he certainly couldn't leave it there all alone. He couldn't even read because with the puddles in the cave he could possibly see his reflection if he opened his eyes, which would result in memory loss.

Just as he thought he was about to loose it, he felt and saw a light shining against his eyelids. 'That's strange,' he thought. 'No light that bright could reach in here. But that means...'

He quickly took the lid off the incubator he had been holding and pulled out the smooth egg inside. He felt a crack in its side. 'Just as I thought, it's hatching!' he thought as the excitement spread throughout his body.

He waited for the baby to finish breaking fee. Suddenly, he felt something furry brush against him.

"Mother?" he heard a tiny voice ask. He couldn't help smiling.

"It's father actually, I'm a male," he told the tiny being of knowledge, who was cradled in his arms. "You can call me 'dad' if you want to."

"Father? Where is this? Why is it cold? What am I called?" the little pixie continued.

Uxie laughed. "You sure ask a lot of questions. That's and admirable trait. Asking questions is the only way to learn. We are in a cave on a lake in Snowpoint City. It is known for its cold weather. As for what you are called... I think I'll call you... Uriah."

"Uriah. I am Uriah," the baby said right before he yawned. "I'm sleepy," he said groggily.

Uxie smiled. "Then go to sleep. You've had an exhausting day. It is, after all, your very first day. Everything is so new to you. I'm not surprised that you're already tired."

He caressed the new life until he heard his breathing become regular. "Have a good rest little guy. I guess it won't be so boring around here anymore. I'm glad to have a little company."

-ooo-

Latias was stretching her wings, taking a quick fly around the garden. She was being careful though, keeping the eggs in sight. She wasn't about to loose another loved one. She noticed light coming from the incubators. 'That's weird,' she thought as she landed and looked in, shielding her eyes with her arm.

She gasped, there was a crack in the red egg! She quickly realized what was happening and opened the containers, pulling the eggs out and laying them in the grass.

She watched in silent amazement as a small, blue arm broke free of the blue egg, followed by the other one. Meanwhile, a pair of ruby red wings shattered the sides of the red egg and broke fee. The baby Latias inside wasted no time in throwing the top of the shell off her head. She looked at Latias with wide, curious eyes.

"Mama?" she squeaked.

Latias' face softened and she smiled at the curious baby. "Yes, I'm your mama. And you are... Ruby," she told her, slightly cursing herself for not coming up with a more creative name.

Suddenly, the wings broke free from the blue egg and a tiny Latios soon emerged. Latias and Ruby stared at him and he stared right back.

Latias quickly regained her composure and said "Hello there little Sapphire! I'm your mama and this is your big sister, Ruby."

Sapphire looked at Latias. "Mama!" he cooed happily. Then he looked at Ruby. "Sissy!" he said happily, smiling at his older sister.

Ruby returned his smile. "Hiya brother! Wanna play?"

Sapphire nodded and grinned. He watched his sister levitate and followed her lead. Soon, they were playing their first game of chase and having a blast.

Latias watched them with a sad smile. Their games reminded her so much of how she and her brother used to play. Back before he was forever taken away from her.

-ooo-

Darkrai awoke to a bright light. He rubbed his head. 'Well, at least my nightmares are back to the usual theme of my horrific death,' he thought as he looked around for the source of the light. His cyan eyes fell of the glowing egg. 'Crap! It's hatching!'

He pulled the egg from the canister and put it back on the little bed, throwing the now useless incubator over his shoulder. He watched as a pair of small, black arms broke out of their confining shell. His amazement turned to amusement as he watched it attempt to break free. With no legs, that was no small endeavor.

"Here, I'll help you," he chuckled, picking up the egg. He carefully created some new cracks using his razor sharp claws. Finally, the tiny Darkrai broke free of his egg and looked around at his surroundings, his bright blue eyes filled with wonder and curiosity.

Darkrai couldn't help noticing that the baby was basically a chibi version of himself with one major difference. His albino hair was pushed back, exposing both of his bright blue eyes. Bright blue eyes that were now staring right at him.

"Mama!" he cooed happily.

"Ack, no! I'm not your mama! My name is Darkrai," he responded, kinda freaking out a bit at being called 'mama'.

The little Darkrai's eyes filled with confusion. "Darky-rai-rai?" he asked.

Darkrai slapped one of his clawed hands to his face and groaned. "Look, if you're going to call me that, then just call me daddy," he said in exasperation.

"Daddy!" the baby cheered excitedly as he tried to hover. He somehow managed to trip on nothing at all and fell flat on his face.

Darkrai cringed, expecting him to start crying. He was surprised to hear giggling. He opened his eyes and saw the baby floating to him. "Daddy! I falled!" he giggled as he wrapped his tiny arms around the nightmare pokemon's waist and hugged him.

Darkrai cocked an eyebrow. "You're much livelier than I thought expected. Giddier too," he said as the child smiled up at him, causing him to smile as well. 'Damn, that saying about smiles being contagious is actually true!' he thought as he also thought up the perfect name for such a lively, giddy baby.

"I think I'll call you Pulse. It's a good name for a dark type and it suits you because if you don't have a pulse, you're not alive," he told the little dark type who was still hugging and smiling at him.

"My name is Pulsey!" Pulse cheered as he released his grip on Darkrai's narrow waist and flew in circles around him, giggling the whole time.

Darkrai watched him. 'I think that this is going to be harder than I thought.'

-ooo-

"Mew! Get it off of your head! What if you drop it!" Azelf cried, carefully holding his own egg with his tails as he flew over to the pink cat.

"Oh come on, Azelf! Even if I DID drop it, I could always catch it with my psychic powers or my tail!" she said in exasperation as she took the egg off her head and wrapped her tail around it to hold hers like Azelf was holding his.

"Uh, Mew? Your egg is glowing!" Azelf exclaimed, pointing at the insulator being held by her tail. She looked down at it and brought it up to her paws. She took the egg out and held it in her paws, keeping the container held in her tail.

Suddenly, the top of the egg burst off in a blast of baby blue psychic power! It startled Mew, but she kept her grip on the egg. She blinked a few times and noticed that Azelf was staring at something with and astonished look on his face.

She looked down and was surprised to see a baby boy Mew staring back at her. But there was something peculiar about him. "Cool! He's blue!" Mew said with a grin.

"He's a shiny!" Azelf exclaimed.

The baby Mew began floating and Mew put her paws on her hips and looked at Azelf in disappointment. "Azelf, if he were shiny, he'd gleam in the sunlight! DUH!"

Azelf rolled his eyes, which made Mew laugh and do a flip.

The shiny Mew flew over to his mother and did a flip as well. "I can do that too Mommy!" he laughed as he floated back into and upright position as Mew smiled at him.

"What are you going to name him?" asked Azelf as he watched the shiny Mew play.

"I've always liked the name Cody..." she thought out loud as she stared up at the clouds. She smiled and looked at the baby Mew. "Yep! Your name is Cody!" she said happily.

"Yay! I'm Cody!" he cheered as he flew over to Azelf. "Daddy, do you like my name?" he asked curiously.

Azelf's amber eyes widened. "I'm not your daddy! I'm just a friend of your mom's! I'm Azelf!" he replied in a panicking voice as he desperately tried to correct the child.

"Oh! Okay then! Do you like my name, Azelf?" he said, repeating his question from before.

Azelf exhaled, feeling better now that he had straightened that out. He nodded to Cody. Suddenly, he saw a light and looked down. His egg was lighting up now!

He did the same as Mew and held the egg in his paws and the container in his tails. A crack appeared and soon, a little, white arm burst free. Then, the other arm broke out of the egg. Then the top of the egg shattered as the baby inside headbutted it. He was soon looking at the face of a little Azelf girl.

"Dada!" she cheered when she saw him. She lept free of what was left of her egg and tackled him, sending them both flying down into the ground.

"Ouch..." Azelf groaned as the little girl just sat on his chest and laughed.

"Alexa," he said, deciding of the first name that came to his mind. "Please get off my chest. And for future reference, please don't tackle me hard enough to send us careening into the dirt."

Alexa just laughed again. "Awww, but then where's the fun in a tackle hug?"

Mew laughed, descending until she was floating right above them, Cody right by her side. "I think I'm gonna like you kid!" she said with a laugh, smiling at the two pixies on the ground.

-ooo-

Mewtwo was lying on his couch, which he had found and fixed up himself, reading a book. A light coming from the side of the couch made him put down the book. He sat up and looked down at his egg, which was now glowing.

His eyes widened and he quickly pulled the egg out of the incubator and watched the cracks spread across its surface. Suddenly, two large, light grayish blue feet exploded from the egg, knocking off much of the front bottom half of the shell off. Then, a purple tail broke free and twitched back and forth. The baby inside simply wiggled out, now that most of the bottom of the shell was gone.

Mewtwo's eyes widened even further when he saw the baby. It had light grayish blue body fur but its tail and belly were the same color as his. The chest plate-like part of its chest was nonexistent. It was just plain fur, kinda like Mew. It lacked the tube-like appendage on the back of its head and neck and its ears were more Mew-like than his, as were its amethyst eyes. The last major difference between them was that the child was female.

"Dad?" she asked when her gaze landed on Mewtwo.

"Um, yes. I guess so," he replied, still pretty shocked by the whole situation.

The baby crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "Are you my dad or aren't you? There's no guessing involved," she replied, her mind's voice having a sarcastic quality to it.

Mewtwo's mouth dropped open a little. He definitely wasn't expecting a response like that from a newborn. He quickly shut his mouth and replied "Yes. I am."

She nodded. "Okay then. So who am I?"

Mewtwo scratched his chin in thought. "Um, your name is... Rachel. Yes. Rachel is a good name for you."

She smiled. "So my name is Rachel. I like it." Just then, something passing by the mouth of the cave caught her attention. "What's that?" she asked curiously and flew off to find out.

Mewtwo chased after her. She was pretty fast for a newborn! He saw her flying after a small Pidgey, who was calling out for help. Mewtwo bit his lip and yelled "Rachel! Leave it alone!"

"Why? It doesn't look dangerous! Besides, I'm just playing!" she called back as she continued chasing the Pidgey.

Just then, a Pidgeotto flew over and used Gust on Rachel. She went flying back, but quickly regained her composure. She wildly looked around, trying to see what had attacked her.

"Rachel! Get back in the cave! I'll drive it away," Mewtwo called to her as he flew down to block the Pidgeotto's Quick Attack from hitting the frightened child.

Rachel listened and rushed back to the cave. She peeked around the wall and watched as Mewtwo used Shadow Ball on the large bird, successfully scaring it off.

Mewtwo sighed and flew back into the cave. As soon as he landed, Rachel was by his side. She hugged him tightly, the fear still causing adrenaline to surge through her body.

"What was that thing?!" she asked, her mind's voice sounding frightened. "Why did it attack me?!"

"It was a Pidgeotto," Mewtwo answered. "And it attacked you because it thought that you were attacking its child, that Pidgey you were chasing after."

Rachel finally let go of him. "Oh. So I guess protecting your child is a natural reaction, huh? That Pidgeotto protected that Pidgey and you protected me." She smiled up at him.

Mewtwo felt a small smile grace his face as well. "Yes, I guess so."

Well, there was chapter four. I hope you all enjoyed it! Please review!
