-Pikmin Exploration-

Olimar's Diary: September 2nd 20XX

I'm celebrating today with my first diary entry within weeks. Why? Well, after the incident with that golden creature holding me hostage within the Formidable Oak, and the Koppaites rescuing me, the President has finally promoted me. Apparently Hocotate Freight has restructured itself into the new Hocotate Biological Protection Agency. And I'm the new vice president of the company- apparently the President loved the Pikmin's home world so much he decided to ensure no harm befalls it. I'll be packing my things tonight and leaving with my crew of 6 to see what I haven't seen on that world so far.

-Captain Olimar

P.S. I highly doubt Louie will be coming along, considering his slight case of insanity following the Koppaite incident.

Olimar sighed as he finished up his jornal entry. He had a long history with the planet of the Pikmin, which the Koppaites called PNF-404. To him, that just took the mystery out of it a little. First he was stranded on the planet after a meteor hit his ship, leaving him with a meager thirty days worth of breathable Miyamotium, the gas that Hocotatians thrived on.

Then, the President of Hocotate Freight, now Hocotate Biological Protection Agency, forced him to hunt down treasures to pay off the company debt. It was there he had met Louie, his co-worker. Once the debt was filled, Louie was left behind, and turned out to be accidentally controlling a mighty Titan Dweevil with his innermost fury at being stranded.

After that was over, he went back onto the planet to get more treasures and buy back his ship, the S.S. Dolphin, from a private collector. A massive golden beast, which he dubbed the Plasm Wraith, held him hostage. Louie apparently went insane due to lack of food, and he had to be rescued by three Koppaites- who only wanted the one piece of treasure he had collected (granted it was theirs, but STILL...).

Even through all that had happened to him, he was still fascinated with the deadly paradise of nature. He was like a kid in a candy store, but the candy was highly deadly and would eat you if it got the chance. Then there was the Pikmin. The curious beings who had helped him through every adversity so far. He would miss his dear family, but by this point it seemed he was more interested in the Pikmin than anything else Hocotate had to offer. he honestly felt... more at home on the deadly world, at least when he had an endless supply of food and Miyamotium with him.

Olimar finished packing his bags. It was do or die time. Saying good bye to his wife and kids, he hopped on a hovertaxi heading towards Hocotate Central Spaceport. His next adventure was about to begin. For better or for worse.

==So, this is my first time writing on this site. I hope you enjoy, and I'll do some commentary down here every chapter.

Not much now, but any new Pikmin or enemies will be described here. Also, I did name Miyamotium after the big man Shigeru, in case you were wondering. Please review!
