This story is set during the first game. It's mostly a cannon but I tried to make it a story and not a video game. It follows the life of the first little red Pikmin that has no name, as he helps Olimar retrieve the parts of his ship. You're pretty much just going through the game as a story, through the Pikmin's eyes. I wanted to give him a name, but how would he name himself? That's just didn't make sense to me. He calls Olimar master and all the other Pikmin his brothers. I see all Pikmin as guys because they don't reproduce sexually, and all plants have both sexes. Not that you needed a biology lesson, or anything. But there is always a method to my madness. The chapters will be really short because if you played the game the days and what you can accomplish in those days, is pretty set and stone. Anyway I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Awakening

A rather large tug on my head woke me from my long slumber. Darkness was all around me as the tugging continued. I couldn't see, when I tried to open my eyes something got into them and it hurt. Wherever I was confined, I couldn't move. My head started to hurt, what was pulling on me? What did it want? My continuous questions were soon answered as a final pull yanked me from my small confinement. After the blinding light dimmed down I shook the brown granules from my skin and looked around. In front of me stood a creature I had never seen before, and it looked frightened to see me. It wore some kind of suit, white, with a bubble on top. I could see its face through the bubble, two white eyes and a big pink nose. What's your name? I began to approach him with my tiny red legs. Did you save me? Are you friend, or foe? As I approached closer, it fell back, struggling to avoid me. Wait! I won't hurt you, Master, I only wish to help…

After a moment he stopped running and I was able to catch up, struggling to catch my breath. Master have you accepted me? He started to approach me, questioning me I could tell. It seemed that he was just as confused of me as I, him. He bent over to me, reaching his hand around my small body and grasping it firmly. Are we going somewhere, Master? I crawled around to its back, watching and waiting as we walked around the small grassy area. Around me were strange objects, and plants of all kinds. Tall ones, short ones, colorful ones. But there was nothing in the ground that grew quite like I did. Was I the only one? Or did Master want only me? My attention was brought away from my thoughts as master stopped suddenly. He was staring at a flower, a very pretty one with a red middle. It was the same color as I. Did master like it because of that? I was abruptly thrown from masters back, barely able to catch myself on one of the flower petals. Why, Master? Do you not like flowers? Then I shall chop it down at once! I leaned back and with a great force whipped my head around to smack the giant flower with my little leaf. Before I could even finish my attack I fell to the ground butt first. All that was left of the flower was the small red pellet from the center.

Quickly, I dusted myself off and grabbed for the pellet, it was heavy at first, but I could carry it no problem. A nice souvenir for my kill, I shall take it back to my ship for later. As I approached my tall, plump, red ship; a beam of light began to glow from underneath. Was it signaling to me? I set the pellet down in the beam of light, hoping that I wouldn't have to carry it inside. No sooner than I set it down, the pellet began to rise into the ship. I quickly ran back to Master, staying close to his side. I watched from afar as my ship spat out a pair of seeds. Those are… like me! I watched quietly, staring at my master as he plucked them from the ground when the light flickered. That explains where the tugging was from. My brother popped from the ground with a small noise and came to stand by me. My eyes wandered around his small red body, an exact copy of me. Short, small red arms and legs, a little nose, big round eyes, and tall red stem with a leaf on top. Two new brothers, and already, I loved them.

A bunch of new brothers came this way, fourteen to be exact. The smaller pellets gave me two brothers, and the larger ones gave me five. Together, one by one, my little army killed the flowers. I think Master was pleased, but, he favors me most. I just know it. Right Master? I looked up at him as we continued on. We approached a tall tan wall. It didn't look like any of the grey ones we passed along the way. I reached out to touch it and my master stared down at me, then back at the wall. A loud burst of music play and we suddenly sprang into action. With our combined strength, we managed to push the wall until it would no longer allow us. Master looked very pleased with us, but not for long. He began to look around some more, throwing us at flowers as we passed by. I let my brothers take those, I didn't want to be away from my master's side, in case I was needed for something more important. Something shiny in the distance caught Master's attention, and he took off running. I followed as fast as my little legs could carry me. After tripping over a stump, I swear it came out of nowhere, I managed to catch up.

Sitting in front of us was something I had never seen before, there seemed to be a lot of things like that. This was different though, it didn't appear to be living, though it moved like it was. It was shiny, the base of it round with a few long round shapes moving on top of it. The moving parts seemed to be in some sort of coercion with each other, when some would move one way, some would move another, though still in sync. What is this thing Master? I looked up at him, questionably. Master seemed to know exactly what it was, that I was certain. The way master looked at it, the sparkle in his eyes. I suddenly found myself being picked up and thrown within an instant. I landed butt first, as I always did when Master threw me. Do you want this Master? I looked back up at him. Then I will try to bring it back with us! I reached my little red hands under the shiny base and lifted with all my might. It was no use, the shiny was twice my size and more than twice as heavy. A small squeal left me as I tried again and again to lift it. I can't let Master down… But when I turned to see Master he was gone. Master… l… left me…

Before I could get too frightened, though, I could see the red light from the bubble on masters head approach from the distance. Behind him, all my brothers. There must have been twenty of us, maybe more! I attempted to count them as they trotted happily behind him. Master wasn't leaving me, what was I thinking. He knew I needed help! After a quick burst of Masters special music, we all sprang into action. Taking our places around the base of the shiny as we began to lift with all our might. It was really heavy at first, but no problem for my brothers and I. once the shiny was safe in our hands, away we went!

We managed to carry the shiny back to Master's ship with no problems. The ship looked broken at first, but that part seemed to get it running again. Maybe that is why Master is here, to fix is ship. He seemed very happy to have that shiny thing. After he was finished eyeing his ship over he signaled to us that it was time for us to go back to ours. I followed my brothers back to our red flower pod, looking back at my master several times as I did. I didn't want to leave him, but it was getting dark. Even beside Master's side, the dark is too scary for me. Goodnight master. I waved to him as he entered his ship, right before I did the same. I don't think he noticed though.
