Author's note: Unlike my other stories, I will attempt not to abandon this one because of a short case of writers block. This story takes place after Pikmin 2, and includes Louie, Olimar, and new types of Pikmin. Keep in mind, I have quite a few problems with writers block occasionally, but I will try not to let it get to me.
Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Pikmin, but I do own the rights to this fanfiction, to my original creations, and to a copy of Pikmin I own at my house.
Lets start up this fanfiction, shall we?
A few Hocotation weeks have passed for our heroes, Louie has became a gourmet bug chef, Olimar is a researcher of alien wildlife, and the ship is still annoying. Unfortunately, Olimar has only reached his fame because of the Pikmin discoveries, and Louie is running out of new recipes to keep viewers interested. Oh yeah, and the ship is now owned by Olimar as a reward for his exploits. This all meant that another exploration of the Pikmin planet would be needed. They could not have possibly seen everything on the planet in the few areas they have been to.
Olimar asked the President of Hocotate Freight if he could take a trip to the Pikmin planet for research, collection, and treasure finding. The president could not possibly say no to treasure, so he heartily agreed, on one condition; namely, the most valuable treasure would belong to the company. Olimar agreed, and went to find Louie to tell him the news. Olimar found Louie already packed with cooking gear and a book to write recipes in.
They set off, with only one problem. . . They did not know where to start on the planet. Eventually they decided on starting off at the Valley of Repose, the previously snowy area. When they got out of the ship, however, they found it not icy at all, but quite warm, and sunny.
Olimar scanned the area with his eyes. No sign of Pikmin, nor of any monsters. He had landed on the manhole where the Bulborb was during his last journey here. Olimar noticed, though, that many things that had been covered by snow his previous trip, were now lush and green.
Finally, the Ship spoke, "We have arrived at the Pikmin planet. It would be wise to test your whistles and my map. We must make sure they are in working order before we continue." Louie tested his whistle, it worked well. Olimar tested the map and his whistle, both functional. One thing he noticed, though, was that the Pluckaphone and long range whistles were missing on his control readout. Before he even mentioned it, the Ship said, "All upgrades and treasure from the previous excursion were sold. Including your suits upgrades. The upgraded shoes, the napsack, the whistle upgrades, the treasure gauge, they were all sold. For a hefty sum, may I add. I am sorry, but perhaps a new device will suffice."
Annoyed, but hopeful, Olimar and Louie set off to find Pikmin nearby. It did not take long, as he saw right around where they landed last time they were here, an Onion, and Red Pikmin beside it. This red Onion had been the first he had found both expeditions, and was the first again. The Pikmin were just standing there, staring back at Olimar. Olimar whistled and the Pikmin grouped up behind him. Olimar immediately set them to attacking Pellet Posies. As the red pellets dropped, the Pikmin grabbed them and carried them to their Onion. Olimar smiled, he knew what came next. The pellets were sucked up by a beam of light, and the flower on the Onion spun and shot out 2 seeds for each red pellet. The seeds stayed underground for a moment, then their stems grew above the soil. Olimar picked the sprouts and called all the Pikmin to him. They waited until more pellet posies grew, this time with larger pellets on them. Olimar had the Pikmin do the same as before, but this time it took 5 Pikmin to lift each pellet. Again, they were sucked into the Onion, 10 sprouts each were born, and a total of 30 reds were now with Olimar. Louie, meanwhile, had been taking a few Pikmin with him to look for monsters. He found none, but found a large white rootlike wall he had them destroy. On the other side the view was breathtaking. Louie smiled at what he could cook with what he saw. Louie drooled at the sight of the large mushroom. Louie was wondering how it would taste.
Louie had never seen one on the previous expedition. Maybe Olimar would congratulate him on finding it. The Pikmin looked on with fear for some reason. Louie paid no heed, and stepped towards it.
A/N: What do you think? Nice cliffhanger. Some of you might have figured out what it is. R&R
