Hello. My name is Zack. I'm going to going to tell you about the greatest adventure of my life. It was when Captain Olimar had crashed on the planet. Sure, all of you are probably thinking I'm joking, but I'm not. I'm dead serious. If you care, sit down and I'll tell you about it.

Prologue

I was walking along one day. Nowhere special, just an open field. Suddenly, I fell in a hole. I screamed like as I fell down until I landed on a flower. The flower began to close around me. As my consciousness began to fade, a single thought crossed my mind. Being the person I am, the thought was, "Is this what being a Pikmin feels like?"

Yes, the prologue is very short, but it gets better the more you read. Please review, and you will get a cookie.

When Zack woke up, the first thing he noticed was his surroundings. "Whoa," he finally said. "Where am I?" He was in a small, circular room. There was a small tube in the center, which led to a strange machine. Suddenly, the room lurched. Zack dashed to a window to see…

…The ground speeding towards him. He barely had time to scream before he was thrown across the room. When he awoke, it was if nothing had happened. Zack leaned a hand against a wall, and he noticed the most peculiar thing. The hand was not human, but bright red with three fingers. It suddenly all came together. The strange flower had turned him into a Pikmin, and he had been transported to the Onion. He turned around and looked at the machine. "And that's for making seeds!" Suddenly, a hole appeared in the machine, and promptly sucked him in. That was when he lost conciseness.

When he awoke, he was in the ground. He heard vibrations above the ground, and assumed it was Olimar. He sighed internally, and began to wave his stem to pass the time. An hour went by, when all of a sudden, a pair of cold hands gripped him, and he felt himself being pulled from the ground. He popped out and soared a little before lending on his rump. He looked up to see a plump man with a large nose, three tufts of hair, and a space suit. Needless to say, it was Olimar. Zack (being Zack) immediately jump up and hugged Olimar. Much to his surprise, Olimar shrieked and smacked Zack, who landed a short distance away. Olimar then picked up a stick and hid behind a rock. Zack quickly realized that Olimar was afraid of him, and decided to ignore him for the time being. So, he quickly beat a Pellet Posy to death with his leaf, and then carried it to the Onion. He watched as the pellet was sucked up, which then was converted to seeds that were spat out of the flower on top of the Onion. He plucked the first Pikmin, who simply stared at him blankly.

"Hello, my name is Zack." said Zack.

"Who am I?" asked the Pikmin.

Zack thought for a bit on what to say. "You are a Pikmin. Your job is to knock down those Pellet Posies," he pointed to the said flower, "and bring them to the Onion behind you. As for your name, I've decided to call you Tyler." The Pikmin nodded and happily skipped over to the pellets. Zack pulled the other Pikmin and briefed him, telling him he could make up a name. He nodded and joined the other. "Such innocence." mused Zack. After the course of several hours, he amassed 25 Pikmin.

"What do we do now?" asked Tyler.

"We are going to push a box." replied Zack. With their combined efforts, they managed to push the box, which led them to the Engine of the Dolphin. "Everyone pick up the object and follow me!" shouted Zack. They brought it to the Onion, which up righted while repairing its main functions. Olimar just stared in awe. It was getting dark, so Zack told the Pikmin to go up the Onion's stilts. He was about to follow, but decided to make a quick detour. He stopped in front of Olimar and wrote down "YOUR WELCOME" in the sand. Then he headed off to his new home.

That night, dreams tormented Zack. He dreamt about never getting home, and never being able to survive, and worst of all, Olimar dying of oxygen on the final day
