Posted on May 5th, 2020, this is one that I actually posted! Just only on tumblr! Again, I was basically paralyzed with guilt over my inability to complete work on the Miracleverse for reasons I was only just starting to suspect might not be normal art block, so I felt guilty over the idea of posting this stuff! I did later post Julian Bashir and His Eevee and Quark and Greech , this and one other post soon to come out stayed on tumblr for no real good reason besides guilt. For this, admittedly, I just didn't like how I drew his eyes, but again, that was part of this cartoony style that I am in the process of somewhat transitioning away from.

I'm going to post the description from tumblr here, (keep in mind that it's incorrect now because it's from the past) but before that, I'm going to try to sell my non-Star Trek fan followers on watching Star Trek Deep Space Nine, same as I did on the other DS9 posts.

No, seriously, watch Deep Space Nine. Watch Star Trek, guys, it's so good! It's about adults! There are people over 30! In fact, nearly every character is over 30! It is considered notable if they aren't! This character is Elim Garak, a tailor on the space dock Deep Space 9, who was exiled from his home planet for reasons that are never given truthfully (except they're all true, especially the lies), who is also a former black ops spy for the facist Cardassian government (Cardassian being the name of the species).

It's about the future of humanity, better than it once was but still experiencing challenges! The intersections of morality and war and the heavy price of paradise! Stupid sci fi shenanigans! Women kissing! In the 90's! They break up at the end of the episode but there's gay! The discussion of morality and the relativity therein!

This character also is involved in a gay ship so textually obvious that not only do the producers regret not trying to push for it, but the actors themselves are absolutely rabid for it, they literally have written and performed plays of fanfiction they themselves wrote about their characters getting together! Literally this is how the characters met!
Garak literally comes up and is, in his own way, going 'hey you look like a hot young twink do you wanna come back to my shop and talk?' and... god, I love Star Trek.
Watch Star Trek. As long as you aren't some pussy afraid of a little campiness in your media, you'll love it!

More of that Star Trek/Pokemon AU I posted about! For the record, Garak is the entire goddamn reason this took so long; I had a horrible time drawing him, gave up, and kinda forgot about this for three months until I finally figured out how to draw him.
So, anyway, got bored one day, came upon the idea of a Pokémon/Star Trek AU where it’s kinda like ‘His Dark Materials’ and their daemons, but without all the spiritual stuff. Essentially, almost everyone, universally, has a Pokémon partner, like Ash and his Pikachu, to whom they share a special connection with.

The fact that Pokémon have a very explicit supernatural origin leads me to believe they would be the first thing people had in common with each other when first contact was made; the fact that they share common species across the galaxy is one of the main things that connects people to other species in the galaxy. The different legendary Pokémon created different worlds, and all worlds have Pokémon. I have more, but that’s for worldbuilding posts if people are interested.
And now, the fun part. Alien Pokémon! Pokémon from other planets can vary just as much as regional variations; they can be different types, but they’re still technically the same Pokémon!, Since I did choose these Pokémon to match the character, I still wanted some essence of the Pokémon’s theme to remain, so yeah! Fun!

Every world has Pokémon on it, although each planet has different species distribution, there are 17 types and 896 individual Pokémon species known to exist currently. Pokémon can massively change over time from their environment, so a Cardassian Sneasel is very different than a Terran Sneasel;

(Cardassian Sneasel (♂) with Terran Sneasel (♂) for scale. Click for the image.)

Cardassian Sneasels have become Dark/Steel, their ice has hardened into steel from the heat (don’t ask, Pokémon can do whatever they want, they don’t have to make sense) and grown in height to almost be the size of a Terran Weavile (Cardassian Weavile are terrifyingly large compared to their Terran counterparts). Cardassian Sneasel’s back legs have atrophied slightly as their front limbs grew even more, and they walk like gorillas.

I chose a Sneasel for Garak because it’s a sneaky little bastard who could very easily be associated both with assassins and sewing.

Garak’s Sneasel is a female named Mila, and while he consistently likes to imply in his usual ‘simple tailor’ way that she is a highly trained assassin Pokémon, what most people wouldn’t know is that she’s anything but that.
Mila comes from a long line of Sneasels who were used by Tolan Garak to garden, and while Mila has certainly been present for many of Garak’s assassin shenanigans, she’s most at home in a garden.

Mila is the second Sneasel Garak has owned, the original was given to Garak as an egg by Tolan not long before he passed away, and that Sneasel was Mila’s mother; Sneasels live around 20-25 years, and Mila is an old lady at around 17.
Mila isn’t a highly trained assassin Pokémon like Garak insinuates, but she is very well behaved, in a way that can make most other Pokémon uncomfortable with how still and quiet she is. I don’t exactly know how Mila lost her eye, and Garak insinuates a new story each time, but that’s just how it is.

She isn’t particularly fond of battling, being more of a fan of gardening, but just like her owner, she’s a little bit of a mischief maker, and enjoys frightening other Pokémon for fun, especially Bashir’s Eevee . Even after he evolves into a Sylveon, she still enjoys bullying him, and it’s a source of contention between Garak and Bashir that Mila is kind of a little bastard, just like her owner.
Garak does use her as a tailor’s assistant, but she’s more of an old lady cat than anything else, lounging around when she’s not standing around looking ominous to accentuate Garak’s whole…. look.

God, I love drawing things. If anyone wants to suggest who I should draw next, or want to know more about the AU, just ask! (be aware I already have Pokémon for everyone besides the Star Trek Enterprise characters and will not be changing them)
