Here's my first fanfic. It's about Louie, who had to survive until Olimar can back to save him. Or someone else saved him...
Self-Support
Louie looked up at the sky. He was waiting, hoping, dreaming... "Why did he leave me? Was it an accident? Did he not like me? Why..."
Louie stood up. "I can't stay here. I must find food..."
He walked around, scouting the area. He found a small pool of water, containing a few Wogpoles.
"Good food...that I can't catch..."
He needed Pikmin. It was true. Without them, he would die. So would Olimar.
Louie thought about Olimar's Journal. He had read it while Olimar was out growing Pikmin.
"I need them..."
But the Onions were gone. Where? He was clueless.
"But...I can still try."
Louie's first attempt to catch a Wogpole was very unsucessful. He tried running blindly into the middle of the group.
"Ouch!"
Louie landed face-first into the pool of water. The water helped break his fall, but he still hit the bottom of the pool.
"Careful..."
His helmet and life support pack were very fragile. He needed to be careful. Ond small hole in the back, and his air could leak out without him knowing.
"Surprise death..."
Louie shuddered. He imagined walking around minding his own business and then suddenly choking on.
"No. I must stop. I need the food."
His second attempt was also unsucessful. He airmed on one of the infant Wollywogs, but it was too fast.
"Whew..."
Louie landed on all fours. Under him was a very sharp looking rock. One hit and his helmet.
"Gotta get food..."
Louie knew what Olimar would do.
"I gotta trap it. Corner it."
But first, he needed a weapon.
Louie looked around for a small and dry branch to make a spear or arrow. He decided to look near a cave enterance. He looked up.
"So lush..."
He couldn't find a dry branch. Not in this moist, healthy ecosystem.
"Where?"
He moved out farther from the pond. As he walked towards some flower petals, he noticed a small tunnel in a wall.
"Hmm? A new cave? Never seen this before..."
He entered the cave. It wass a small tunnel, and he had to crawl.
"What's this?"
He spotted a hole to the next sublevel. Of course, being so curious, he jumped in.
"Wheee!"
As he was falling, Louie didn't notice the strange object below him.
"Owwww!"
Louie landed on and bouced off something hard. After landing, he looked up.
"What!?! A Green Onion!"
The Green Onion was a lime green color, with a white flower. Louie noticed a small sprout near him.
"Well, better pick the poor thing."
Louie plucked it with ease. The Green Pikmin flipped through the air and landed softly.
"A green pikmin. Wow. I discovered a new pikmin."
Louie stepped closer to the pikmin and whistled.
"Damn!"
The pikmin went crazy, running around in circles and banging it's head against the wall.
Louie scrambled around, trying to calm the pikmin. He noticed a small leaf with scribbles on it. He ran over and tried to read the scribbles.
"What could this say?"
It was written in a strange language, but Louie could make out an arrow pointing to a tunnel. He entered the tunnel, and found a spray bottle full of green liquid.
"I guess this is for the pikmin."
Louie ran to the pikmin, grabbed it by the stem, and sprayed it.
The pikmin instantly calmed down and ran to Louie's side.
"Nice pikmin. Good pikmin. You can help me..."
Louie started thinking how to grow more pikmin, and how to get the Onion to the surface.
Meanwhile, a certain captain was approaching a certain planet...
Well, it's not too bad, is it? I'll be making bigger and better chapters next time.
I made the Green Pikmin idea.
