A/N: Wow, nobody reviewed the first chapter. . . Anyway, the mushroom we saw was a puffstool, and Louie had never seen one. (he was not with Olimar in Pikmin 1). This puffstool is slightly different (evolution and all that) Also, keep in mind puffstools are 20x Olimar and Louie's size, but run away from them.

Olimar walked towards the mushroom slowly and noticed it had a strange Pikmin near it. It was like a purple Pikmin, but it had a mushroom, not a leaf. Louie thought that it was a new type, but then it spotted him. Suddenly the mushroom stood up, and started running away, while the strange Pikmin attacked Louie. Louie fought back with his group of reds, and the strange purple was killed. Louie realized he should not mess with the mushroom yet. So he hurried back to Olimar.

"What happened? Back so soon?" asked Olimar as he saw Louie, out of breath.

"Mushroom. . . Thing. . . walking. . . mushroom Pikmin. . . evil!" Louie ranted, in a crazed manner.

Olimar just nodded. "Puffstool. Toadmin." He replied calmly, having seen it before.

"Whaaaaaaaat?!" shrieked Louie, "Why didn't you tell me before?!"

Olimar just ignored him and, noticing the Pikmin under the Onion were flowers now, picked them. He then, finally, said, "Do you want me to tell you everything I saw when I was stranded here? Fine. Gooey things only blues can kill called Goolixes, shadowy frog things called Smoky Proggs that could be killed only with Pikmin to the face, and could uproot buried ones and kill them by having them walk behind it. These puffstools, which you have seen, they command Pikmin by using a spore of some sort, and the Toadmin which are the controlled Pikmin. Happy?!"

Louie just stared, absorbing this information.

"Oh yeah, and before I forget, Armored Cannon Beetles, big black bugs that shot boulders, bigger than the larval forms you have seen. Also, while I was leaving the planet the first time, I saw several different colored onions. Now, just stop blaming me for your stupidity!" Olimar ranted, and stormed off.

Louie just stood there, dumbfounded. He put the Pikmin back in their Onion and noticed they now had a total of 63 Pikmin. All the pellets in this area were used up so they would venture to another area tomorrow. They would be back once they had found all the Pikmin onions so that they could fight the puffstool and explore more. Louie realized the day was ending and went to the Ship, where Olimar already waited. One day has ended.

New Piklopedia entry:

-Update- Toadmin: What has been gathered from Louie's encounter seems to show that the Toadmin now have will independent of the Puffstool, unlike my previous encounter, during which they moved in the same direction. Whether this is because of evolution on the infected Pikmin's part, or whether on the part of the Puffstool has yet to be determined. I must find a living sample of a Toadmin, and keep it in the Monster Cell Hold of the ship, which has been upgraded with extra-dimensional storage space. I must also find a device to limit the spore producing of the Puffstool if I hope to capture one without problem and keep it without worrying about Pikmin nearby.

-Update- Red Pikmin: It may just be me, but it seems they now are more agile, faster, and basically seem smarter. It could just be due to my perception because of growing fond of them. I may need to detach personally from them. Is their intelligence increasing, or am I just personifying them because of affection. In any case it is very, very, odd. . .
