Pictures
    Pikachu's PikaBoo is the animated short film which was  originally featured in the beginning of the 4th Pokemon movie in Japan.  However, once the 4th movie came to American theaters, the Pikachu's PikaBoo short film was somehow cut out, leaving the movie with a mere 80-minute main feature.  Fortunately, the DVD release of Pokemon 4Ever will actually include the short film, as well as numerous other special features like in-depth commentary on the film's production and interviews with the voice cast!

Summary
Pikachu and friends come accross a large-gardened, beach house where Kecleon, Larvitar, and Granbull are seen.  As Kecleon and Granbull made friends with Pikachu, Larvitar didn't seem to be too friendly.  Now that they were all aquainted, Granbull called out other friends - Sandshrew, Azurill, Donphan, Oddish, and Sunflora.

Granbull then suggests a game of hide and seek.  Pikachu eventually becomes "it" after choosing with a tossed stick.  Everybody starts to hide in their own spots.

Sunflora tries its best to hide in a patch of flowers, while Oddish hides itself underground.
Kecleon goes in front of a tall pot of flowers and cloaks itself as camouflogue, but his red stripe still showing.

As for Cyndaquil and Granbull, they hid in the house.  Azurill hides in underwater and Bulbasaur burries himself in the ground.

Pikachu finally finishes counting and finds Sunflora first, hiding in the flowers.  Sandshrew is then found next, camoufloguing in a brick wall.

Next, Pikachu heads over to a fountain in which Totodile is hiding in.  Pikachu then looks under the water and find Totodile.

As Pikachu enters the garden shed, Larvitar hides behind a pile of tires.  Larvitar knows one of those tires is Donphan, so Larvitar shoves Donphan right to Pikachu.

Donphan starts rolling down a hill which leads Donphan to crash into some bushes.
Meanwhile, Meowth and Wobbuffet are mowing the a lawn, when the lawn mower eats up a bad object and stops.  Meowth obviously just goes about to something else, ignoring the mower.

Pikachu enters the house and sees a pillow with a design of a Togepi shell.  Pikachu tickles the pillow and Togepi then bursts in laughter.  Next, Pikachu and Togepi notice Cyndaquil burning a fire in the fireplace.

Back outside, Larvitar kicks a rock to the lawn mower he sees and Larvitar starts dashing away as the mower goes loco!  Pikachu, Togepi, Cyndaquil, and Granbull start running as well as the mower starts to chase all of them.  While running across some stepping stones, they run into Meowth and Wobbuffet, and then the two start fighting the mower off with the chiminey sweepers they have.  With the mower's razors, the sweepers are chopped up.  They enter the maze of hedges.  Larvitar then runs into them again with a plan.  They go to a corner, and everyone continues running except Larvitar.  The mower then is sent flying to the other side when Larvitar gave it a good kick.

The Pokemon head out of the confusing maze, but the mower comes crashing through the bushy walls with a pair of hedge trimmers!  The chase continues as Pikachu and his friends head for the beach.  They get to a dock and hold on to some poles.  The mower cuts those poles and goes right into the ocean.  Finally relieved, Pikachu and Larvitar toss their poles and walk back.

But it's not over that quickly!  The rampaging mower comes back ripping through the pier and Pikachu and friends start running once more.  Luckily, Larvitar has another plan, sending Pikachu and Togepi on the chase alone, while everybody else gathers up and heads for a pile of logs.  They use the logs to make a track for the mower to get back in the shed.  And doing so, the mower chrashes in, making the mower no longer capable of use.

And after all that, Kecleon is still hiding, but becomes visible again after a long time.
After cleaning up, they all play another game of hide and seek, and this time, Larvitar is it.
