I suppose this speaks to the disconnect between Ash's battling feats and his slapstick personality, but... I think it has to be as early as Surge, right? Of course, there's zero implications for his character development or much of how others perceive him, but de facto having three badges is where notable rookies start to simply become contenders I'd have thought (though I confess with being far more familiar with how the games handle that trajectory).
At what point does Ash actually begin to inhabit the skin of someone who's swept through multiple Gym challenges and been a Champion contender for multiple regions? That's a much more interesting question, and probably one closer to the intended spirit of the OP lol
