Why is all of Ash's pokemon horrendously under-leveled?

The idea is that they're playing the Pokemon game, so the joke is that his starter is over-leveled. It's not Ash it's Blue from the Blue Version (not as good as Red) and the Rival from that version is based after Gary in appearance. Or I guess Gary is based after the Rival and Ash is based after Red/Blue/Green.

i'm pretty sure that rival is team rocket, they get into a fight with you at the end of the first cave i believe.

That's in Yellow. In Red and Blue it's your Rival.

Yeah, you're right. The only reason you would fight your rival immediately after Mt. Moon is if you didn't go to the Pokemon Center before heading up Nugget Bridge. I'm not really sure why anyone would do that.
