I don't own pikmin or anything else blah blah blah blah enjoy
Olimar was running. Running for his life. He was running from the very beings he had thought his allies. The pikmin This wasn't supposed to happen! He thought What have I done wrong? He thought back to the day when all this had started. The day of black pikmin.
The day had started normally enough. He got out of the S.S. Dolphin which had only recently been hit by a large meteor. After yawning loudly he walked over to the red, yellow, and blue onions. Gathering out 5 yellow pikmin 50 red pikmin and 40 blue pikmin he started out on his way. This was a new area he had found. He hadn't named it yet, deciding that he must first see what it was like and what was in it before he named it. So far he hadn't seen much. The only life he saw were dark drooping plants. A red pikmin went over to one and decided to touch it. I whistled at him and he jumped and ran back to join the group. The area was largely deserted. I wondered what had happened to the creatures that had lived here? I decided that I would keep moving on. Besides, If there are no creatures to face then there would be no losses of pikmin. After a long while of walking I found an onion. The onion was buried deep in the ground and I decided to walk up close to it and see if it would do what all the other onions did. Pop up and drop a pikmin seed. This happened very quickly. After plucking it I realized that it was a black pikmin. It had glowing red eyes and approached me calmly. It studied the group of pikmin I had and smiled. It was the only time I had seen a pikmin smile. I should have noticed it immediately but strangely I had the feeling that this little creature could harm nothing. Of this I was very very wrong.
The day was almost out and I had found nothing at all. But for some reason the number of my pikmin was dropping. I first noticed this when somewhere in the back I heard a moan. I turned around and there was the pikmin. Clutching it's head. Suddenly it fell forward and died almost immediately. But strangely it didn't go up like a ghost as is normal. Instead it just stayed there. Like the corpse of a bulborb. I decided to leave it behind seeing as we had no place to bury it at all, and yet there was the black pikmin smiling. Again I thought nothing of it and I still wish that I had.
Pondering the strange events of the day I called the pikmin back to their onions. The black pikmin stood there staring at me and grinning all the while. I didn't realize this till I went up into the sky. But it was too late to go back and help him. But I saw him stand there and then run off into some shadow and he vanished.
The next day I came back down and I was greeted by two black pikmin. I was startled at this since I expected the other one to have been eaten by the bulborbs. I got out my pikmin and went off to search the strange area which I have decided to call "Shadow's lair" That night I came back to my ship extremely annoyed. 20 of my pikmin had died of strange causes. They died the same as the first. Suddenly and without warning. I wondered what could have happened to them.
