AN: I know it's last minute but I'm doing a small retcon to one of my earlier Author's notes I'm making Titania's Animagus form a Human form but she still never becomes male again
Chapter 4: the Mt. Moon and explanations Interlude
Ash, Athena, Titania, Dawn, Jessie, James and Meowth have reached Mt. Moon and once they find a spot to relax Dawn asks Ash "Ash how did you and Titania meet?" Jessie, James Meowth and Athena say"I want to know the answer to too." with Athena saying to Titania "you told me you would tell me about this at a later time well now I ask for some answers." Ash responds "well there's not much to tell on my end." everyone aside from Titania says "tell us anyway."
Ash says "I was six years old at the time and I was interacting with the Pokemon at Professor Oak's ranch when out of nowhere Titania as a Ralts shows up without warning and we clicked as friends right away and we've been inseperable ever since."
Titania picks up where Ash left off "well as to how I appeared in front of Ash is a tragic story." Everyone including Ash say "Tell us anyway."
Titania says "Okay but don't blame me if you lose your lunch." she then says " I wasn't always a Pokemon I am originally a human and I was a boy." this shocks them as they say "WHAT? then how are you what you appear as now?"
Titania says " all in due time." she continues by saying " I was born on July 31st of 1990 to a pair of good parents who did everything right but they weren't ordinary by any definition of the word as they were a Witch and Wizard."
they react by saying "you mean like magicians who pull rabbits out of a hat?"
Titania replies "No I mean real magic." she then thinks hard on what could have been performed in front of her and remembers that James and Sirius could turn into animals by willpower alone.
she concentrates her magic power and focuses on her Animagus form she then glows and gains height and when the glow dies down everyone is shocked to see that Titania has become a teal blue haired woman with emerald eyes and her outfit has taken a more regal design but her body proportions remained the same but shaped to fit her human form as long as she holds it with extreme concentration.
Everyone asks "how is this possible?" Titania replies "this is what's called an Animagus form and normally a magically powerful human uses this to turn into what best fits their personality." she continues with "for example if you were to equate your personality traits to a Pokemon then Ash would be a Lucario since he's loyal to a fault to his friends and has the power to call on Aura the power behind a Pokemon's attacks that aren't Psychic."
everyone but Ash says "that sounds like Ash alright." while Ash blushes at the compliment.
Titania continues with her story "it was a happy time but it didn't last because of two things first thing you need to know is that the community they were a part of were having a civil war amongst themselves."
everyone says "what could be the reason behind that?" Titania replies "look at it like Hitler and the Nazi's in World War 2 particularly Hitler's philosophy of a master race which he believed were blond haired and blue eyed which he was not."
everyone says "while we've never interacted with anyone beyond our corner of the world we've kept up with world altering events so we know about Hitler." Titania says "now replace the philosophy of a blond haired blue eyed master race with the belief that the further back in time your lineage stretches the more pure your own blood and you end up with terrorists that believe anyone who isn't Pureblood needs to be either controlled or eradicated."
she continues by saying "the Nazi faction of said civil war is exactly that and the leader of them is the one who killed my parents." everyone says " who is he?"
Titania says "his name was Lord Voldemort but he was playing the purebloods for a fool as he like Hitler wasn't what he made others believe he was."
everyone asks " how can that be?" and "How do you know this?" Titania replies "as to how I know it's possible that I have his memories." and before anyone can ask how she does she says "his real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle and he was a half-blood which is a child from the union of a Witch or Wizard with a Muggle or a non-magical person."
she then says "his mother was a squib named Merope Gaunt who's line dates back to the time of Merlin and his father was a muggle lord called Tom Riddle." she then says "yes that also means Voldemort is a Junior but that's not relevant right now and what is important is my parents were hiding from him due to a prophecy which goes. "the one to defeat the dark lord approaches, born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies and he will have the power the dark lord knows not but neither can live while the other survives the one to defeat the dark lord approaches as the seventh month dies."
they all say "that can't possibly have anything to do with you as you're female and not human." Titania replies "oh but it does and its what ultimately cost my parents their lives." Jessie, James, Ash and Dawn all say" If I didn't know any better I'd say this sounds like an Oedipus Rex scenario, a self-fulfilling prophecy."
Titania says "that's exactly what it is and it's already in motion." she then says "my parents were betrayed by a close friend of theirs named Peter Pettigrew who let Voldemort in on their hidden location." she then says "Voldemort attacked on the Halloween after my first Birthday. my father James tried stall tactics so my mother Lily could attempt to get away with me but it was in vain."
she then says "James dueled Voldemort as the stall tactic but he didn't last long and was killed with the killing curse." everyone asks "what's the killing curse?" Titania replies "a two word spell that forces a person's soul out of their body without physically harming them but effectively killing the one hit by it. the incantation is Avada Kedavra."
she continues by saying " after killing my father Voldemort cornered my mother who had laid a trap on him." she then says " Voldemort demanded my mother to stand aside and let me be killed but she said "I'll never let you kill my son, kill me instead." and he said "very well if you're so eager to die I'll oblige you." what he didn't know was he had entered a magical contract that would kill him if he broke it."
she then says " he then told me that I had a lot of potential and had things been different he would have mentored me and wished me a happy afterlife." she then says "he then recited the killing curse anyway but in doing so sprang the trap my mother set as it was a protection ritual."
she finishes the story by saying " his curse rebound back to him but in the process my mother's protection ritual kicked in and turned me into shiny female Ralts due to my age at the time and sent me to Ash."
Ash then picks it up by saying " as me Titania and my mother Delia were heading home Arceus appeared before us and told us that Titania didn't leave that encounter unscathed as a piece of Voldemort's soul known as a horcrux or a Phylactery had latched on to her and he purged it from her with Sacred Fire."
Titania says " as a result I kept whatever memories the soul fragment had but lost the ability to talk human languages normally and can never turn back to a human but this form you see before you is the only way around it but I can't hold it forever."
once she says this she turns back into her shiny Gardevoir form.
the whole explanation had lasted five hours and it was night time now. they then had a sparring match between Ash and Jessie and Ash and James with the same rules as they were in Viridian Forest which results in Titania becoming level 75 and learning new moves like Psystrike and Swords Dance. then they go to bed and when morning comes they make their way to Cerulean City.
AN: next time Ash fights Misty for the Cascade Badge and pwns Gary in a rival match with it ending with our heroes making their way to Vermillion City. and lastly before anyone gets on my case about the training being an afterthought I feel that I spent enough time on this chapter with the explanation portion of it. if nothing else file it as recap chapter that lets those who weren't present in Chapter 1's Prologue know Titania's backstory. and there have been stories where Harry does keep Voldemort's memories after the horcux in his head is destroyed.
