[ EU ] What if , when given the options for starter pokémon by professor Oak , Gary picked pikachu ?

`` But *I* want that one!'' I moaned at Oak. 
 
 `` Sorry Ash,'' he replied, `` but Gary won the coin toss to pick first, and he picked the Pikachu.'' 
 
 Gary chortled quietly in the background. 
 
 `` But Oak, Pikachu is way more powerful than the others! He's *already* second stage! Gary's just going to follow me around and beat the living shit out of me with it!'' 
 
 `` Well, if you're a good enough trainer, you'll still be able to beat him, wo n't you?'' 
 
 `` This is literally the first time I've held a pokemon before Oak. I have no training experience whatsoever.'' 
 
 He stopped to consider this for a moment. 
 
 `` Well, I do n't doubt that Gary is a pile of shit, Ash, but he got the Pikachu fair and square. There's not much I can do.'' 
 
 I stopped to think. There was no way I would let that asshat start off with a better pokemon. Then, of course, I had a brainwave. 
 
 `` Oak, we're the only two people getting pokemon, right?'' 
 
 `` That's correct.'' 
 
 `` And you do n't need those three pokemon anymore, right?'' 
 
 `` That's also correct.'' 
 
 `` Then why do n't I have all three?'' 
 
 Oak was taken aback for a second, then, slowly, with a shit-eating grin widening on both of our faces, he nodded. Gary watched in horror as I scooped us the three pokeballs, and then turned to face Gary. 
 
 `` So, Gary. How about we test these bad boys out?''
