I don't know what can be done about it.
If you don't mind using the dev console, as a stop-gap measure you can probably overwrite Pikachu's ability directly:

To set the ability you can use:
playerparty[X].Ability = "ability name"

where X is the position of pokemon in your party. E.g. playerparty[0].Ability = "Solar Power" will set the ability of the first (topmost) pokemon in the player's party accordingly. Note, there's no checks whether given pokemon is eligible for specified ability, so hijinks can ensue if you want to abuse it.

New update on discord, it fixes a lot of bugs but deals the the biggish roach currently, the Pikachu ability bug hurray *party horn noises*.
One last bugfix after this and we're moving on to the next week hopefully.
 
  • Yay, update!

Only think I can think of is that it also triggers with save reloading or when rolling back history/choices,
Did some testing after work today, and this is indeed the cause. Full reloads seems to set it Static, and Quicksaves seem to set it to Lightning Rod (all though these could just be coincidental rerolls). Roll back through options itself also causes this. Well shit.

Glad to hear they have a fix though! Will someone be posting that here soon, or is this to be discord only for now?

Does this game have any sex or ecchi?
It has dialog that strongly hints that sex happens between for four characters depending on your choices, but actual scenes, no. And for future updates, if the devs and writers change their minds, it could happen, but that's a slim chance while atm a very strong possibility of no actual sexual content at all will happen with this game.

Buy a picnic basket from the culinary club and use it to attract Pokemon to the field Whitney is talking about.

Game was ruined in the Student Council Election Day, cool enough up to then, just too much dialogue to action ratio, but crazy bad story decision, legit took all the fun away

As mentioned, the Dawn battle issue stems from Pikachu's ability being swapped to Static/Lightning Rod.
I changed the pokedex.rpy file to make sure Pikachu can ONLY learn Freelectric instead.

Download the file here and overwrite it in the games/database folder.

Or change it yourself, on line 106.

I have no idea if this will screw up the game at some other point, but this at least allowed me to finish the Dawn fight.
This helps with the Dawn bug. Thx.

Dawn fight types in order: Fairy, Flying, Normal, Ghost.

Is there any way to cheese those contests? I guess I am missing something because even in the tutorial I get my ass handed to me in the last few rounds even when it seems I will win easily... and yeah I did try using the types the characters recommend before the mock contest start and tried to carefully use the moves that gave most points/shut down the others, dunno if it's just bad luck or I am understanding something wrong.

Maybe you're just unlucky. It takes me several attempts to complete each contest myself. I advise you to add priority boosting and lowering techniques to your arsenal. This helps to pick up the last stars from the judges, giving you more points. Also, do not forget that the points are tripled in rounds 5 and 10, so it is especially important to take the stars or prevent your opponents from doing so.

i guess im thinking everything is moving really fast now. I actually really liked the MC change, after finding out it was not permeate. it developed the other characters really well i thought. I would like to know how far into the game I am. I would also like to know if this game is still being developed. thanks

IIRC the plan is for the game to last a full (academic) year. And yes, it's still being worked on, the latest update was added fairly short ago (a month) in fact.
