Thanks for the reviews, everyone! No, Joe is NOT going to say WAIAUM all the time, but he is still gonna say it lots of times. Especially when he gets drunk.

Thanks for your attention, Chapter 2 (CLAP CLAP CLAP).

"WAKE UP!"

Joe and Bob suddenly opened their eyes and stared at the telephone. Bob picked it up and started talking.

"Hello? Did the phone just-"

"Shut up. This is the captain speaking. Joe and Bob, room 3278. Is that right?"

"Yes, but-"

"Come downstairs and meet me in front of training room 100. I'll give you five minutes to get ready."

"Wait, where-"

Bob put down the phone and turned to Joe.

"He hang up."

"No shit Sherlock."

The two quickly washed their faces, bushed their teeth and faces, and walked downstairs. On their way down, they met a red Pikmin giving out some coffee. They both took a cup and thanked the Pikmin. They finished the coffee and threw the cup into a thrash.

"Are you two scared?"

The two bros turned to face a different red Pikmin walking behind them.

"What do you mean, scared?"

"I've heard of training rooms," the red continued, "There are 100. The 100th is the easiest and the 1st is hella-hard. Are you two new here? Were you born yesterday?"

"Yeah, we were born yesterday."

"Same here. Which means we're gonna start today! What are your names?"

"Bob."

"..."

"He is Joe, my older brother. Pretty dumb."

"How much older is he?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Two days?"

"No, 0.000000183766510 seconds. I told you it was nothing."

"Yo dude, who are you?"

"My name is Brian. I have no father or brother, the Pikmin who carried the pellet I was born from and the Pikmin who plucked me were different. That means I have no father or mother."

"I'm sorry."

"No, it's cool. I can play video-games all day."

The two brothers turned left, following Brian, as he knew where the training rooms were. Brian stopped in front of a door, opened it, and walked inside. Joe and Bob followed. It was a pretty big room. There were many other doors in the room that were labeled. One said 'TR 30-40', and another said 'TR 50-60'. Brian led Joe and Bob into room 'TR 90-100', which meant 'Training Rooms 90-100'. The room was smaller than the one before it, but it was still pretty big. There were about ten other red Pikmin. Some were chatting with others. Some were sleeping. The three sat down and waited. Five minutes later, a red Pikmin wearing a really weird and freaky hat came in the room.

"OK everybody, if I may have your attention, please."

All reds stopped doing whatever they were doing and the others woke up.

"I will be your coach for today. All of you should know what a training room is by now, but if there is anybody here that doesn't know what it is, please raise your hand and I'll be happy to tell you."

Nobody raised their hand.

"OK, very good. The goal for today is to complete at least ten training rooms. Many of you will probably not make it. Some of you will do more than ten. We have ten hours to do this, so let's get started! Follow me."

The weird-hat dude walked up to a door, unlocked it, and opened it. Then he gave everyone a key.

"I will be staying out here and watching this screen. There are cameras inside so I can look at anything I want. I will be checking your progress here and every time anybody finishes a room, you can open it with the key I gave you. This will be an individual test. Some questions will be easy for you and others will be hard. Do the best you can and remember to clearly erase any marks that are not on the bubbles."

"OK, dude, you sound like that woman in the STAR testing thingy..."

"What?"

"Ya know, dude... The radio thingy... The voice... You know... State testing..."

"What's your name, boy?"

"Joe."

"Joe, shut up. As I was saying, it may be easy or hard. You just gotta keep trying. Everyone ready? Good. Go inside."

100

All ten reds went inside and closed the door. Inside were two fire geysers. Then, an automatic voice spoke.

Voice- This is room 100. Your goal is to destroy a fire geyser. I will give you three hits with your leaf to destroy it. This is an individual room. If you make it, you will open the door with your key and walk into the next room. If you fail, you will get back in line and try to do this again. Go.

Two reds went up to each fire geyser and hit each with a very weak shot. The two reds failed and they both got back in line. Joe and Bob went next. Joe started concentrating on the fire geysers, examining it and trying to find its weak spot. Bob hit it once, and it cracked a bit. It still was not broken. Meanwhile, Joe finally found the weak spot and hit it powerfully. It exploded, and he walked on to the next room. Bob hit it two more times, and it exploded, too. Two new geysers sprouted. He walked in room 99.

Bob found Joe listening to the automatic voice.

Voice- This is room 99. Your goal is to kill the Skitter Leaf in here. You will first have to find it, and then kill it. When it is killed, it will regenerate and be ready for the next in line. This is an individual room. If you make it, you will open the door with your key and walk into the next room. If you fail, you will get back in line and try to do this again. Go.

Meanwhile, the door behind them opened and Brian came walking in.

"OK guys, we will have to spread out. This is a pretty big room so everyone must search under each leaf that is on the floor. Then, after we have tracked it down, do not lose sight of it, because with all the leaves on the ground it may be hard to and it will probably try and camouflage. Then, just kill it."

Joe started walking away.

"Hey, Bob, ain't Joe different now?"

"Yeah, he gets like that when in combat."

"Ain't this an individual test?"

"Who cares."

Five minutes later, Joe found the Skitter Leaf and killed it. Then all three advanced into room 98.

Voice- This is room 98. Your goal here is to grab all berries on the ground. There are 10 total. This is an individual room. If you make it, you will open the door with your key and walk into the next room. If you fail, you will get back in line and try to do this again. Go.

Joe, Bob, and Brian looked around. The room was full of leaves, flowers, small trees, and other stuff in order to camouflage the ten berries.

"Wow, this may be hard."

The three spread out and soon found out that it was actually pretty easy to find the berries. They found them all in less that five minutes and slowly walked on to the next room.

"Wow man."

Voice- This is room 97. Your goal here is to cross the lava on to the next door. This is an individual room. If you make it, you will open the door with your key and walk into the next room. If you fail, you will get back in line and try to do this again. Go.

The ground was all black. There was a crack on it that separated the side they were n from the side with the door. In the crack was lava.

"Hey, lava can't be all that different from fire, right?"

Brian walked up and stepped on the lava. Suddenly, the lava started pulling him down. Brian couldn't move.

"HELP!"

Joe and Bob quickly dashed towards Brian and started pulling him out. They made it.

"Thanks. Lava is different. And I felt a pain that I cannot describe. It stung my skin. I felt like I was... on fire."

"How can a red Pikmin be on fire?"

"I don't know. I heard a word before that described this pain. I think it was called 'burning'..."

Meanwhile, Joe was thinking about how to get through. Suddenly, he stood up and walked backwards. He started running at the gap and did a backflip, landed on his leaf, and pushed himself over the lava. He made it through.

"It is not hard. Try it."

Bob and Brian did the same and made it through. ONTO ROOM 96!

Voice- This is room 96. Your goal here is to defeat the Fiery Blowhog. This is not an individual room. Go.

The three reds dashed at the Blowhog while it was looking at another direction. They jumped on it and grabbed it. With all their strength, they started to hit the Blowhog. It took a couple of seconds for the Blowhog to realize that it was dying, but it was too late. The Blowhog died, and its health started to regenerate.

"That was easy."

"On to room 95!"

Voice- This is a rest level. You rest here for 5 minutes, drink some nectar, and then exit. Rest rooms are a signal that the next room will be harder than the previous ones. Your five minutes start now.

"Cool..."

The room's walls were white. There were tables with nectar on them, and energy-berry drinks were also there. The three sat down and drank some nectar.

"This thing's HELLA good!"

"Joe, don't swear."

After drinking some, their leafs instantly bloomed into flowers. The three felt as good as new.

"I feel great!"

"And strong!"

"And stupid!"

They also drank some energy drinks and felt even better. They felt like they could beat anything! But they did not know what awaited them in room 94...
