>itt we create Mega Pikachu, it's stats, design, and ability
+50 Sp. Atk
+50 Speed
Pika Power - Atk is doubled. No recoil.
It's hard to compete with Light Ball. Even if we went full minmax, it'd be hard to get a really good Pikachu. Maybe give it an ability similar to Water Bubble, which just has several really strong effects tied into one ability. Double Electric-type move BP, Lightningrod, and increased priority on Electric-type moves.

Mega Pikachu
Static
HP 35->60
Atk 55->90
Def 40->55
SpA 50->90
SpD 50->80
Spd 90->110
It gets an extra 65 on top of the 100 stat boost because fuck you, mascot privileges.
Mega Pikachu
Battle Bond
Light Ball is the Mega Stone
+75 Spd
-25 Atk
+25 Sp. Atk
Mega Pikachu would have a giant black-tipped tail and no other change in design.

>Light Ball is the Mega Stone
Pikachu should just get an ability that lets it hold all its exclusive items.

Yes to the Spd, yet to Light Ball being a Mega Stone.
No to the Atk loss, as Pikachu can go either physical or special, and its signature attack is a physical move.
Anyway, what I'd go with
Light Ball works as a Mega Stone
+20 Attack
+20 Sp Attack
+60 Speed
Ability: Lightning Surge - Electric Attacks damage Ground Types
As for design, pic is along the lines I'd go with. Best kept simple.

Also, the ability negates recoil on Volt Tacle
