A Displaced Pink Space Cat
"Hihihi! That was fun. Let's see what else I can find." I said as I flew in my energy bubble into space from the last planet I just visited and gave them some little scares. It was all in good fun and they had some fun as well. I'm, not this cruel.
But I'm still not very sure where exactly I landed. I know I'm in the Star Trek universe. That was clear as I saw this Borg Sphere a few month ago. But where exactly? DS9? Enterprise? Or am I...
*BONG!*
My thoughts were interrupted as I didn't saw where I flew and something collided with me and knocked me out cold.
Some hours later...
"..."
"..."
I slowly came to my senses. I heard voices. But I couldn't make out what they were saying.
"... make out what this ... is. My scans ... to bring many different results. I'm not even able to specify it's DNA." said a voice that clearly belongs to a male. And I think I know this voice...
"Thanks, Doctor. Is it possible to wake it? Maybe it can answer some of our questions." This voice was female. And I also know this voice...
"I don't know why not. It seems to have only got a light bump on the head as we crashed into it. Which is a miracle by its own. Considering we flow in it with Warp." Answered the male voice and I decided I heard enough and it was time to open my eyes.
The first thing I saw was the ceiling and the lights there. I was blended for a moment while my eyes adjusted to the light. I grunted and raised in a more sitting position.
"Oh. It seems our patient woke up from alone." said the male voice and I looked to where it was coming from. I could barely hold my jaw from dropping as I saw the familiar face of the one and only Doctor! One of my favorite characters from Star Trek: Voyager! That means, I'm in the Delta Quadrant.
I looked with wide eyes at him then turned to the others beings in the room and almost squealed. There they were! Neelix! Tuvok! Seven of Nine! (So, I'm in this timeline. Too bad I couldn't meet Kes. I think it would be cool.) And last but not least: Captain Kathryn Janeway!
"Greetings. I'm Captain Kathryn Janeway. Welcome on board the federation ship Voyager. I hope you are alright after we accidently... bumped into you." Captain Janeway greeted me.
Best! Day! EVER!
I waved at her and said: "Greetings to you, Captain Janeway!"
She looked confused and then looked to Tuvok: "Either or Universal Translator has a few problems, or our little friend her can only say one word. Mew."
Oh. That's right. I should have explained a bit more before I was knocked out. I'm a Pokemon named Mew in the Star Trek Universe... still doesn't explain much, I know. Let me start from the beginning while they are talking about other things:
Location: Earth
Year: 2017
It was the time of year I have been waiting for. The GamesCom! I have saved my money for this event since last year. And now it was time. I was a 28 year old boy named Jens. I was pretty normal looking guy and normal height. Really, nothing special about me. I had brown hair and brown eyes. I wore a plain white T-Shirt and blue jeans. I had a Backpack with some food and drinks for the day and lots of space for merchandise.
I already found some good stuff and was about to go to the next hall, as I noticed this one stand. It looked like nothing special, but the stuff he had there... was just AWESOME! I wondered why no one else seems to see this stand. I got over and took a closer look. A Link Mastersword, the Guns from Alucard, a Digi-Device. Damn, he even had Ruffys Straw Hat! And where these the Seven Dragonballs!
"Hello! Young man." Came a male voice suddenly from my side and startled me. "I see you have an eye for quality works. May I help you with something?" I looked to the guy and saw ,he was dressed like the Merchant from Resident Evil. Maybe that's why no one came over here... This guy looked a bit creepy. He even had glowing red eyes.
"Uhm.. thanks. I'm just looking in the moment. Say, you have really fine stuff here. I can tell they are high quality. But do you have something like plush dolls, as well? I'm still looking for a new one for my collection." I asked him as I recovered my nerves.
He thought about it for a moment and then said: "Hm... yes. I have indeed a few to choose from right over here." He gestured to a table to the side and I got over there. There were indeed some plush toys. I looked around for a bit before I found one I really wanted. It was a Mew plush! It looked exactly like I would imagine Mew would look in the real world. I picked it up and looked it over. It was just perfect. Too perfect... I sighed and put it back.
The Merchant came to my side and saw me putting the Plush back. "What's wrong my friend? Didn't you like this one?"
"I do actually. But I'm pretty sure I can't afford such quality work. I have already spent a lot of money here. Sorry to waste your time." I said and was about to leave.
But the merchant grabbed my arm and said: "You are a very polite young man. And I probably shouldn't do this but... I will give you a discount on this one. How about... 40 bucks and it's yours."
My eyes widened and I couldn't believe what I heard. Was this guy serious? But I couldn't let this chance go. I took my wallet out and paid for the Mew. It somehow felt warmer as I held it.
The Merchant put the money away and the last thing I heard was: "Good luck. And I hope you have fun there." Then some kind of Portal opened under me and I fall in before I lost consciousness.
Back at the Voyager
Seems like they are finished talking about... whatever. Captain Janeway was now coming closer and asked: "Can you understand us?" I decided to play cute and just tilted my head to the side and let out a "Mew?" sound like a cat or dog. The Doctor was just finishing scanning me with his Tricorder and got back to the Captain. I saw him passing a Energy Field which was most likely in place in case I was dangerous. Can't really blame them for being careful.
The Door to the Medical bay opened and I saw a child coming in. It was Naomi Wildman! The others turned around to her and Janeway asked surprised what she was doing here.
"I wanted to ask for permission to see and greet our new guest on board Captain." She asked in a very formal way, it was just super cute.
Janeway smiled and leaned a bit down to her level to talk to her: "I know this is very exciting for you, but we still don't know much about this creature. It could be dangerous."
I decided to be funny and placed myself so that my Tail would be waving just about Janeway's head. It looked like a periscope that goes back and forth. It seemed to work as I heard Naomi giggle at the sight of a Tail dancing over her Captains head.
Janeway smiled and asked what so funny was. Naomi pointed behind her and saw my tail fast falling behind me. I put my paws behind my back and whistled innocently while looking anywhere but in her direction.
Naomi now got her first look at me and she gasped as she saw me. She got closer to me but was stopped by Janeway. "Don't get too close. We don't know how it will react."
"I'm sure it will not harm us." explained Naomi and looked to me. I looked back at her and saw in her eyes something like... recognition? But how would she recognize me? She came a bit closer and then asked: "Isn't that right... Mew?"
I'm pretty sure my eyes got the size of dinner plates as she called me by this name. I really didn't expected this.
And from the reaction of the others, they neither. "Naomi... how do you know his name?" asked Tuvok.
"That I would like to know as well." I said Telepathically. Everyone turned around and looked at me. I started to float above the bed and stopped before the Force Field. I quickly activated my Bubble around me and just flow through the Field as if it's not even there and right in front of Naomi. Janeway got in the way, but I just flow around her and landed in front of Naomi. She was easily a head bigger as me.
"So... how do you know my name?" I asked her and tapped my foot on the ground like a parent waiting for an explanation why the Cookie Jar was empty.
She showed no fear towards me, but was a bit surprised that I would come to her. "Tom showed me some old games from the 20th century. One of them is called Pokemon. I found it really fascinated and replicated the games. You are one of the Legendary Pokemon, or not?"
I took a deep breath and let it out as I pinched with my little paws the bridge of my nose.
"On one hand, this makes think a bit easier... on the other, it makes thinks a bit more complicated as well..." I said Telepathically and sighed.
"Shouldn't I have said that? I'm sorry." Naomi said and I looked at her sad eyes. You really can't stand mad at her. I smiled and floated a bit higher. I gave her a nuzzle to the cheek which makes her giggle and laugh a bit before I got back.
"It's not your fault. I just didn't expected someone to know my name or my species at all." I said to her and we giggled a bit together.
"Ahem... excuse me?" came the sound of Janeway from behind me. I turned around and said: "You are forgiven. What can I do for you, Captain?"
"Well, we would really like to learn more about you and your species. And especially how you could be part of a game from the 20th century from earth. If that's alright with you." Said Janeway.
I thought for a moment about his, and then said: "Sure. But that will be the more complicated part I mentioned earlier."
"Time Travel?" Asked Janeway.
"AND Alternative Universe to be precise." I answered.
Janeway sighed and muttered: "Just great..."
