What If Ash ACTUALLY Evolved Pikachu? (The Kanto Reset)

We all know the iconic moment Ash Ketchum refused to evolve his best friend. But what if he made a different choice? In this alternate timeline, we explore the massive ripple effects of Ash using the Thunder Stone in Vermilion City to defeat Lt. Surge. How would a powerhouse Raichu change the dynamic of the original Kanto journey? We break down whether Raichu would keep Pikachu's loyal personality or become aggressive and distant, much like Charizard did later on. Most importantly, we analyze how this major reset would alter the Indigo League. Does having a fully evolved starter mean Ash finally wins his first official Pokémon League, or does this single choice create an entirely new set of disastrous problems? Grab your Pokédex and let us dive into the ultimate Pokémon "What If" scenario!
