The story

What Is Pikachu’s PikaBoo About?

The premise of Pikachu’s PikaBoo without spoilers.

At a sprawling beachside mansion, Pikachu and friends play hide‑and‑seek. While Pikachu is “it,” a lonely Larvitar kicks a rock that strikes a lawnmower, activating it. The mower pursues them as they guide it through a maze, into water, and build a log road, but Psyduck’s slip wrecks the plan. The chase persists, the adventure remains lively.
