Where Did Professor Oak Get Pikachu?
In the Pokémon anime, Professor Oak had a Pikachu ready for Ash because the three starter Pokémon were already taken. It's never exactly explained where Oak got Pikachu, but he's a top Pokémon researcher, so he probably had one on hand for research purposes.

Professor Oak is a legendary Pokémon researcher, he probably found Pikachu on one of his many field studies. The guy has connections!
It's never really explained in the series, but since Oak is a Pokémon Professor, it's likely he found Pikachu in the wild or received it through his research connections.
Knowing Professor Oak, he just pulled Pikachu out of his hat. Seriously though, it's never explicitly explained.
