What If Ash Woke Up On Time?

Waking up is a pretty essential part of everyday life, it's a pretty hard thing for most normal people to mess up, but Ash Ketchum is far from normal in Pokémon I Choose You, the first episode of the Indigo League series. Ash falls asleep after setting off his alarm. watch during a particularly vivid treatment that an action set Pokémon's protagonists on a course that has developed over the past 20 years or more, so if one idiot flaps his wings in Pallet Town, can it really have unpredictable consequences on the indigo plateau more than a year ago?

The butterfly effect line is inherently unpredictable, but in this video I'll try to plan

what

Ash Ketchum's journey through Kanto would have been like if he had

woke

n up in

time

all those years ago in a world where the Pokémon theme song was performed by Evanescent a wham or System of a Down or Green Day or any of the other four million artists and our songs that we are waking up to are the verse or chorus people, Ash would have been the Kanto champion, let's start rethinking. On the most important morning of his young life, ten-year-old Ash Ketchum wakes up bright and early to crawl into Professor Oak's lap and receive his first Pokémon after spending his entire life dreaming of this moment.

Our eyes first with a clearer image in our minds of him. which Pokémon he wants to be the starter for, this doesn't require any guesswork, we already know which starter Ash wanted to choose since we went wildly off course instead of being late and ending up with a disobedient Pikachu. Ash begins his journey with a Squirtle whose desire to start his own adventure, of course, we know which trainer that squirtle took in the alternate reality. Now that Gary Oaks' first choice is off the table, he decides to go with Bulbasaur knowing that he has a different source type than Ash.

The first Pokémon partner after receiving a pokedex and pokeballs from Professor Oak Ash sets out on the road to Viridian City when he sees a Pidgey in the grass, he sends Squirtle and after learning his moves from Dexter tells him to use tackle in this line of

time

. he has a competent starter who listens and that means he can successfully fight and catch Pitchy. We're at episode 1 and Ash has already summoned a Pokémon. That means the whole Spiro mess never plays out like it did in the alternate reality, which in turn means Ash never runs into Misty and steals her bike, so no early companion for us, oh, That might be a stretch, let's say the main character, a squirtle and a pig, arrive in Viridian City safely and without needing to stop at a Pokémon Center, they never cross paths.

With Team Rocket, this is definitely a good thing for Jesse James and Meowth, they seemed some

what

capable before encountering Ash and Pikachu, so maybe they can stay on that path and impress Giovanni. In this reality, we have already lost Misty and Team Rocket as powerhouses. The characters and the absence of the former means that Ash is not catching Caterpie and Viridian Forest. Misty pointed out the type of insect, so without it, Ash can continue walking after having caught a pigeon on the outskirts of Pallet Town and also lets a Pidgeotto go without paddling. Instead, the first attempt to capture him in Viridian Forest is cajoling, unfortunately the samurai interrupts him when the poisonous insect escapes, the mysterious trainer challenges Ash but without a metal pot and a lot of luck.

Ashley is quickly defeated. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this. That means we won't have any Metapod versus Metapod guys. Shut up, Squirtle and Pidgey are incredibly weak from battles, so Ash has to rush to Pewter to heal them all. On the outskirts of town, Ash runs into Flint, who leads Ash. The nearest Pokémon center while his two Pokémon are being tended to, Ash sees a poster promoting the Pokémon League regional championships and receives all this new information about the gyms and the gym leader. Ash decides to challenge Pewter City's gym leader, Brock, even though he has Squirtle in his.

Ash's general incompetence still necessitates Dan losing the battle. Ash, the starter, doesn't even know a water-type attack, so when Brock Sonic's squirtle construct is forced to lose the match, Flint decides to help Ash defeat Brock, but instead of a super charge of Pikachu, he only helps train Squirtle once the starter learns the water gun. Ash returns to the Pewter Gym to face Brock once again. In this reality, Ash is on the cusp of victory without the use of sprinklers, but the Bronk brothers prevent him from asking for the final blow from Brock. he dismisses them and ends the battle with squirtles, a water gun taking down Onix in what can only be described as a miracle.

Ash Ketchum, his flagship woman at the gym, just after watching the battle from the wings, Flint reveals himself to Bronk and tells his son that he is ready. Returning home to care for his many children, Brock decides it's time to follow his dreams of becoming the best Pokémon breeder in the world and joins Ash on his journey. They traveled through Mount Moon to Cerulean City and encountered a number of rare Pokémon and Team Rocket. for the first time, though since Ashe doesn't have her seemingly superior Pikachu, Jessie James and Meowth don't obsess, so there are still background characters.

Brock walks away from his team, but Ash gets lost, so he is still working with Squirtle. and Pidgey, after defeating Team Rocket, continue on the road to Blue City. Once they arrive, they head to the gym where Ash finds the three gym leaders and discovers that they have no interest in fighting him, the three sisters who lead the team. The gym simply gave him a waterfall badge, and while Ash would prefer to battle, they don't have the necessary Pokémon to do so. Ash has picked up a second batch without doing anything nice, having lost a fighting chance.

Ash is interested in gaining experience sooner. his next battle in the gym after defeating two ratata squirtle evolves into Wartortle because in this timeline Ash acquired a starter that he actually trained to be easy to breed. This is a really positive start to his journey, we can move forward to Ash meeting his Bulbasaur for the first time because that's the next important moment we have to cover. This basically plays out the same. The only real difference is that Misty never interrupts Ash, so he's the one who tries to catch Oddish when the grass starter appears. There we go, Pokémon number three.

Really. I wish this wasn't the case, but unfortunately Ash also ends up being Damian's Charmander. I've talked about this before in another video, but obviously Bronk would be a better trainer for him, but yeah, I couldn't see anything that would change the original. timeline in this one, so Ash also has a Charmander, although Bronk and I have a brief holy encounter with the Squirtle squad, they never meet up with Team Rocket and join forces with me, so it's still brief and we can move on, no Misty teasing. on the way to Vermilion City, but Brock points out that Ash will need six Pokémon to compete in the Pokémon League, feeling determined.

Ash heads to the nearby beach and ends up catching sulks just like he did on the show this time. Krabi isn't transported though because that's only the number 5 Pokémon for Ash, so that's where we are as Ash hits four million. The city wakes up on time and has caused the main Pokémon team to change slightly. Three of his Pokémon are the exact saying. that Pikachu has been replaced by Wartortle, Pidgeotto has been changed to Pidgey, Squirtle and Butterfree have been omitted entirely, of course Ash's battle with Lieutenant Serge was a showdown between Light You and Pikachu in the original series, but now that is not an option. instead, the Pallet Town native challenges the Vermilion Gym Leader with Wartortle - naturally, it doesn't go so well with waves, right?

You quickly outrun Ash's directionless Wartortle, that's not the water types' fault. I think the blame lies solely with a cigar like Pokémon usually pick up. He Wartortle x' trainers' personality traits develop a somewhat stubborn streak and seem adamant that they can try. Brock offers to help the turtle by teaching him how to use the Move penis with the help of Onix which will give Wartortle super effective action. attack to use against Serge, which may be the advantage he needs. The ashen Wartortle train with Brock Onix eventually dominates the clouds of the new moon day. Wartortle to avoid the Thunderbolt white shoes and at the same time give him the opportunity to hit back hard, that is enough to end the battle.

Ash heads to the SS with Brock, since he never caught Caterpie. Ash chooses to bottle the knight aboard the ship with his PG in the end. Radek Eight eliminates the flying guy, so the knight never asks for a trade, meaning there is no Butterfree to return to when the ship's star sinks. , so I have to get Brock down in time, they never get trapped on board to travel. to saffron city right away the best change I can report so far is that we don't have to experience the angst and launch in Butterfree because there is no Butterfree to launch that episode is now called High High Butterfree and possibly features Tim Messenger from Hot Fuzz, I'm still not sure anyway, once he arrives in Saffron City, practically nothing changes, everything plays out more or less the same with Wartortle taking Bijou's place.

Sabrina triumphs in the first confrontation with a brother valve immune to Kadabra and then Ash and Brock. She traveled to Lavender City to find a ghost type Pokémon. Haunter follows Jo back to Saffron, where Ash confronts Sabrina for the second time. Walter makes Cadabra laugh, which causes Sabrina to laugh, the gym leaders are forced to resign and so Ash cannot get the swamp badge. On his jacket, the butterfly effect didn't really come into play there, so let's get to something that really changes due to Ash waking up on time while traveling on Route 7. Our two travelers take a break to devour some delicious stuffed seaweed of meat. donuts hmm, these donuts are great, they are filled with gelatin and are my favorite, nothing beats a donut filled with gelatin while enjoying this horrible Frankenstein type snack, a monkey stops by looking for free food, he clearly doesn't understand exactly what he is asking for , but for some reason, probably because it's a bit horrible, Ashe throws a pokeball at the fighting guy while he's eating, this doesn't go particularly well on the monkey and he ends up stealing a she's been hacked now at this point in the alternate timeline. , Team Rocket appears in James Kicks the Monkey, which isn't cool, that's what makes him angry enough to originally cause an evolution, but since there's no obsessive Team Rocket in our timeline, there's no evolution in instead of adding a primate to your team at the end of the episodes.

Ash catches monkeys, a first stage Pokémon that may not. He seems vitally important right now, but his importance will become apparent shortly anyway with the addition of Monkey Ash, he finally has a full team of sakes, all hail Wartortle, Pidgey, Bulbasaur, Charmander, grumpy and blanket, he's well, Celadon City brings us another alteration, since Misty and Pikachu are elsewhere ash never ends up putting both feet in his mouth in front of America since he never insults his perfume there is no problem with him coming to challenge him to sell it at the gym no It's just that Erica doesn't realize it here, all this means is that Ash can defeat Erica with Bulbasaur Charmander and Pitchy with the latter evolving in the process.

More important than the rainbow badge, too, is the fact that the Celadon gym didn't burn down in this timeline; that's the second building that has been saved by Ash who

woke

up in time. I didn't mention it when it happened, but avoiding Team Rocket and Verdean meant the Pokémon Center never blew up, so yeah, even if it's just because of the savings on the property. It hurts that Ash waking up on time seems like a good thing, okay, Hypno's nap time, ironically, isn't an episode that changes Ash's path much depending on when he wakes up, but we need to check it out for a second, for a side, there's this at the top.

That I don't really have the words to describe, let's just call it Brock ending up with a new Pokémon due to his frankly disturbing obsession with Nurse Joy. Brock offers to take a Psyduck train out of the Hatton for him. This happens in both. timelines, but back in the world where Ash fell asleep, Misty trips and accidentally catches the water type, that's not possible here because she doesn't want to hit Brock and stays with Psyduck, luckily that doesn't affect the next episode and Brock still continues. a new Vulpix, nothing really happens to ash, so we can move on to the outskirts of fuchsia city, they encounter a hitmonchan that Ash tries to capture, the fighting guy already has a trainer, although Anthony shows up and all this takes Ash and Brock enterto the p1 Grand Prix, manky and GOG are selected participants and although ash advances to the quarter-finals, Machamp defeated him in the semi-finals in the alternate timeline.

Primeape had the physicality to dominate him as champion, but Manky can't do it. Thanks to the early loss, Anthony no longer offers to train Ash's Pokémon, so Manky remains in the group for now before coming to Fuchsia. There's one last stop in Grinchy City. Ash and Brock head to the Pokémon Center because it's late, but when they arrive a power. The cut sends him in the direction of the power plant. I originally thought that Pikachu Minh's lack would cause Ash to end up catching Magnemite, but that's not the case. The Magnetic Pokémon only follows the action in the final timeline because it is attracted to the supercharged Pikachu, so with Wartortle now aside, Mackin may never appear in the first place.

Ash still catches trash at the end of the episode, but continues straight to Professor Oak, so this part hasn't changed for now. Well, future gym battles are up next, and surprisingly, this one barely changes. The only major difference is that there is no interruption of Team Rocket Pidgeotto and Charmander combining to get Ash's victory and simply. So, there were up to 6 gym badges, that was easy. Next up was the Kangaskhan boy episode. There's nothing vitally important plot-wise here, but we do get to see the world's worst dad in action, so it's good, this is a really strange episode.

It was quite strange. Episode 35 was never dubbed into English because Kaiser repeatedly threatens to shoot Ash, but we have to check it out anyway. This is the episode where Ash Catches has heard about Toros in the safari zone, but without Jessie and James tracking them down, there is a slight change there: Team Rocket challenges Ash Brock and Misty in the alternate timeline : A Pokémon catching contest, if the trio can catch more Pokémon than Team Rocket then they will stop following them, which is why Ash is so determined to catch as many Pokémon as possible.

In our timeline only two Bulls join Ash's team, the first catches him deliberately but the second was just an accident he caught while trying to add a Rhyhorn to his growing party, this means shit, he's headed to the Professor Oak's laboratory because Taurus is Joining the party and, instead of having changed their party members, Ash and Brock find themselves in a city that turns out to be the site of a carnival in the alternate timeline, where he is forced to do the magic show with a man named Melvin, since this never happens. In our timeline, Charmander never gains much experience from demolishing an army of enforcers, meaning there's no evolution into Charmeleon, which can only be positive for Ash's journey in the future.

Team Rocket's foul then comes into play. An attack by the prehistoric Pokémon in their attempt. blowing up the entire canyon leads Ash to discover all the fossil Pokémon, then Aerodactyl lifts him up and his Charmeleon evolved into Charizard. Ash also finds an egg that ends up hatching into togepi, but without Team Rocket in the area and none of that happens. instead we get a full 20 minute thriller about Ash Brock and Gary doing some digging for fossils. Fun, another month passes without any bias from the late timeline before Ashley found herself on Cinnabar Island, the only real difference in the period leading up to the gym battle with Blaine is that without Misty present, our leader It takes Jerome a lot longer to solve Blaine's puzzles and when I say our leader Joe, I mean Brock, let's be honest, Ash is getting closer to solving any puzzles once the gym battle is over.

Toros and Monkey play their part before Wartortle evolves into Blastoise to defeat Mac and Han; another victory, the volcano badge makes seven and Bronk tells us they have to head to Viridian City to get the final gym badge. Team Rocket Misty and Togepi changed things up in the final gym badge: instead of Jessie and James taking Giovanni's place in Viridian, Team Rocket's leader leaves his gym in the hands of other random lackeys - maybe they're Butch and Cassidy, it's probably someone else around. Although Ash emerges victorious and Manky eventually evolves into Primeape to defeat my champion, a bit of revenge for the fighting type.

Ash stabs the ground punch into his jacket and heads straight for the road back home, on the way back they meet. a traveling circus but the only important thing is that his mother ashes get a mr. mine, once they return to Pallet Town, they meet Gary in Professor Oak's lab in the alternate timeline. Team Rocket interrupts a possible battle between the two, but this time they are not here, that means we will have a battle between Ashe and Gary for the first time, although Gary has trained like our class to use his speed to dodge attacks.

Water-type, he is caught off guard by an unexpected dig that gives Ash the initial advantage, but Gary sends his Venusaur next and makes fairly quick work of the tired Blastoise. Ashe chooses Charmander next, finding it harder to even evolve mid-battle, but it's not enough that Charmeleon attacks with everything he has, but Gary's Venusaur is too well trained. The fully evolved grass starter finally defeats Charmian and gives Gary the advantage. We decided on Bulbasaur. for its last Pokémon with all the damage it is taken away by Blastoise and Charmeleon Venusaur counts for the third consecutive ko Bulbasaur defeats Gary's starter leaving the rivals in a neutral kings one on one in last place and after a back and forth competition, The two collided with tackles that were not on each other to end the match in a tie.

Ash is over the moon with Afridi's Pokémon introduced, but Gary is visibly disappointed. After training some more in paddle action, Brock heads to the Indigo Plateau on the path they meet. a trainer who requested a battle with Ash where the winner gets all the loser badges. Blastoise knocks down Marowak to hand victory to Ash, but the stranger reveals that all of his badges were stolen. Ash and Brock work together to help get their team badges back. Rocket, but this all turns out the same when it's ultimately unimportant, let's move on to the Indigo Plateau conference, there's really no notable changes to see their first battle on the water field, pick the trio of grumpy Blastoise and Bulbasaur stops his fight against Mandi, but remains the same as in the original time, wanting the moody one to advance through Maggie's entire team, evolving into Kingler in the process.

A pretty decent little debut. We don't see the battle on the rock field very well, but it's safe. Assume this still runs smoothly. Blastoise actually has some use this time to finish things off against New Torino again. We're a little late to write off his third-round matchup against Pewters Pete Pebble Minh, but it happens similarly once. Kingler takes care of the cloister before Blastoise makes short work of arcanine on the slippery ice field. Another change in this timeline is that Gary's battle against Melissa failed to overcome Ashe in Pallet Town. Gary spends more time training than ever before.

Melissa's golem is no match. for Venus or who sends Gary to the round of 16 with a solar ray in Ash's final preliminary battle, she faces Jeanette Fisher on the grass field beneath her bells. It was aproved. Mary is capable in the alternate timeline. She is no match for a cooperative Charmeleon who creates the flower with flamethrower patterns and she is placed in the finals of the tournament along with her oldest rival, Ash and Brock, they quickly meet Ritchie, but without Pikachu or the team ride to influence things, it's still pretty short, the tour faces each other in the final 16, but the team Rocket's absence also means that Ash arrives at the stadium on time with all of his Pokémon healthy and ready for battle.

They kick things off with Ash's Blastoise taking on Richie's Butterfree next: for Sleep Powder, Ritchie is shocked as he explodes his dig underground to avoid the attack. The water type waits for an opportunity and then emerges to attack with hydro puttan. The blast of water launches Butterfree out of the air to give it a very early advantage. Ritchie calls Sparky the Pikachu and now knows about Blastoise, his secret weapon. Richy warns how. She started using Date by sending rays of the ground anywhere she tries to dig. Blastoise finally manages to exploit Ritchie's focus on avoiding the dig by connecting with the hydraulic pump, but Sparky's lightning bolt finally evens the matchup.

Ash chooses Primeape next and with Pikachu weakened by fighting Blastoise, it only takes a single seismic cast to put the Pallet Town native back in control. Last up for Ritchie is Ziffel: Charmander, who is quickly knocked back with a mega kick, but determined to help his trainer win, takes down the fighting guy with a flamethrower afterwards. Landing several big hits each day, Poe eventually gains victory, leading Ash into one of the final confrontations of the battle, which sees Richie's Charmander taking on Ash's Charmeleon after the war waged against Primeape. Charmander can barely stand it. Charmeleon attacks him with a skull blow and finishes Zippo off. and Richey forever, this was where Ash's journey came to an end in the last timeline, but getting up early has allowed me to advance to the quarterfinals.

Ash's opponent in the last eight is a tape and they will face each other in a total of six. In the battle, we only know three of his Pokémon for sure and they're right in Venomoth and Ivysaur, so it's hard to predict exactly how it would turn out. Ash has some trouble with full battles at the moment because he only really trains a few Pokémon. Right away it's still my video and I'm not that impressed with the view of the scientists on the show. She also has a sparrow or a tentacle in her kit, which doesn't say much about the remaining two, so what I'm saying is damn, Elise!

Pidgeotto Charmeleon Bulbasaur primeape and kingler ganache cross the line and reach the semi-finals, where he draws Gary after having trained specifically for this moment. Gary is fully prepared for anything Ash has to throw at you if you're lucky, and weak opponents can only take you as far as the battle goes. all the way to the end with Blastoise trying to dig against arcanine only for the fire type to fill the created cavern with fire. Blastoise comes out of the ground and then passes out, signaling the end, it wasn't even close, although Gary finishes the match with almost his entire team standing and then heads to victory in the final at the end of the day.

Getting up early may slightly change Ash's team and experiences, but his unerring self-confidence will always cost him in the end even though he spent many nights dreaming of winning the pokemon league ash never invested time in training not being able to beat ash for good. It could have pushed Gary to train harder and leave the Indigo Plateau as champion, although perhaps that would have spurred Ash to do better and Joso and his strong team could have grown even more. Beyond that, this is all just conjecture, though I just wanted an excuse to see what could have happened in a world where Ash didn't sleep in that first day.

It seems like waking up early would have led to a more successful trip for Ash. but who knows, in the words of that System of a Down guy, wake up, make up, you know, soulful stuff, okay, that's all I've got, bye.
