Chapter 1

Ah, the Perplexing Pool. A lovely, warm, water filled area and home of the energetic Yellow Pikmin.

Oh, I'm sorry. I should've introduced myself. My name is Pablo, and I am one of the beefy Purples. I'm not very good in water, but excellent at fighting the few land dwelling Wollywogs.

I had been born in what was called the Emergence Cave. I felt as if I'd helped to fight every beast in the world, from Shearwigs to Bulblaxes. I felt as if I could take on anything.

Up until now...

We had worked hard all day, the blues building bridges, the yellows breaking an electric fence, and the rest of us fighting monsters. I'm glad I went with Olimar. His partner Louie wasn't the most competent guy ever, and I'm sure he drowned a few yellows or electrocuted a few blues. He's not the brightest star in the galaxy, as Olimar would say.

I spotted a puffy white flower off in the distance. I wandered off since the others were busy carrying spoils to the Onions. It was a very interesting flower. When I shook the thick stem, white puffs would go flying in the breeze. I did this until no more puffs were left. By that point, the droning of the cicadas was dying off, replaced by the chirps of crickets. The sky was turning reddish orange.

Sunset was coming.

I had to find the group. Getting left behind at night meant certain death. I ran in the direction of base as fast as my stubby legs could take me. But we purples aren't known for speed, even with a flower. My weight ended up getting the better of me, and I fell flat on my face.

I got up, but to my horror I could see the Onions lifting off into the sky.

"No!" I cried, running faster but being careful not to trip again. But it was too late. The roars and snarls of countless beasts echoed throughout the pool.

I had been left behind.

My life was as good as over.

(A/N- wow, it's been a while since I've written something. Writers block and school are NOT a good combination, people! This might not get updated for a while too, since I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed. But don't worry, I'm not dead! LadyPineTree, out!)
