How To Get To The Mini-Game By Shoji

First, your Pikachu has to get the Hiden Machine 3 - Naminori. Hiden Machine 3 is a swim technique that enables monsters to swim. Unfortunately though, Pikachu is not a water creature (he's electric) so, under normal conditions, he wouldn't be able to swim at all.

But with the use of the N64 Pocket Monster Stadium game that is GameBoy Pocket Monster cart compatible with the 64GB, Pikachu can be taught to use Naminori.

To teach Pikachu to accept and use Naminori, you must transfer him from your PokeMon Pikachu GameBoy cart to your Pocket Monster Stadium Game in the N64.Then fight with Pikachu until he beats all opponents and attains a
victory!

These are the conditions that you have to fulfill in the Pocket Monster Stadium Battle and win with Pikachu:

Condition 1:
You must clear the tournament mode.
The level that you choose may be anywhere from "Level 0-30 battle" or "Level 50-55 Battle". However, if you choose the "Level 0-30 battle", you must also clear the "Master Ball Cup".

Condition 2:
You must now have Pikachu in your battle party. Pikachu can be of an level, it doesn't matter.

Condition 3:
In any of the battle modes, you must use PIKACHU for the final game.

Once you meet all these conditions, you can go for Naminori Pikachu!

Now, transfer Pikachu back to your PokeMon Pikachu GameBoy cart, and take him to the Sea House that is in Sekichiku City's PokeMon Center.

In this house, there is a man. Talk to him, and he will let you play the
mini game. This is the map:
