The egg cracks open, still inside Kate's tail. The shards of the shell seem to simply disappear, or are absorbed by the fleshy walls. Either way, the tail moves around a bit, and then the tip opens up as though it's a mouth, and slips her out onto the floor below. Kate towers above her, looking imposing at first, but then lowers her head and gently nuzzles up against the chikorita. "Welcome back, dear. You know, I don't think I even got your name," she tells her, rubbing her warm fur up against Cici's skin.
