A/n: As you can all see, I take reviews into account quite seriously. And by the way, bdun, The pupa is a larval form, I am pretty sure at least. I will take suggestions on monsters and such for the story. Also, from now on I am only doing journal entries when it they encounter and BEAT a new monster. I am a big fan of the Piklopedia entries and I really am interested in how Olimar classifies the monsters. I am especially interested in Man-at-arms and snagrets. I also find it funny how Olimar classified the Margaret and Creeping Chrysanthemum in the same family, which they may be. Umm. . . I will also do an entry chapter every once I a while, if you guys want. I just like how Pikmin 2 takes place right after Olimar got back to Hocotate, and saw how much Pikmin Planet changed during that time. But I digress. On with the story.

I will be experimenting with different types of story layout. Sorry.

Louie's night:

Louie sat thinking in his blue bug shaped bed that night, wondering how good this expedition would be. Last time Olimar had treated him as a trainee who was a moron, but then he had slowly felt better about him, until he found out the pikpik carrot incident was his fault. Now, though, he was being respected as a second-in-command, albeit only for the past few hours. Louie, a kid whose grandmother had used to force to eat bugs, was now a famous bug connoisseur, and a respected worker and culinary adventurer. My, how far he had come. He yawned and stretched, slowly falling into a deep slumber. (a/n I almost pulled an Eragon there with the sleep talk. )

Olimar's night:

Olimar sat at his work desk, papers strewn about, frantically scribbling down notes on the major changes in the environment of the Pikmin planet since his previous trips here, namely; how areas' seasons changed. The ship had detected with its long-range treasure scanner (the one that told them when they had gotten all detectable treasures on the planet last time) several numbers of treasures it had failed to notice during the prior trip. Olimar was having a field day triangulating their locations into separate sites to land at. His eyes drifted closed, eyelids heavy, and he collapsed onto the desk, asleep.

Random Red Pikmin's night:

One of the red Pikmin had a collar for tracking and videotaping purposes. This collar was made by Olimar and was filled with technology. It had a high definition camera and microphone included, plus it also had a tracking device in it and was almost indestructible, even if the Pikmin was killed, the collar would work. Olimar decided to continue building these whenever he found any materials like the one the Z suit was made of, (which he made this collar out of, having bought that suit himself, but not using it in his spacesuit anymore. These collars would be placed on one of each type of Pikmin. He had decided to name this Pikmin the Red Pik Leader, because while wearing the collar the other Pikmin regarded him as a substitute Olimar.

In the Onion Red Pik Leader was the only Pikmin still awake. We do not know at this time what he was thinking, or if Pikmin can think, as the ship is still decoding their primitive yet complex language to see if they speak or just make noise.

The next morning Louie woke up, groggily opened his eyes and screamed. Olimar was standing at the foot of his bed with some sort of machine on his helmet covering one eye. This had obviously startled the half-asleep astronaut and was quite a thing to wake up to.

Olimar, recovering from the ear-splitting scream, remarked to Louie, "Are we not going to explore today? I have made the arrangements to my suit and... what the heck? Are you unconscious?" he asked near the end when he noticed Louie was drooling and babbling about the Berg (Okay. . . obvious Star Trek rip off. . . berg, borg? I could not resist when I made the costume change)

A small while later:

"Okay. . . I guess I am going solo today. Ship- take care of Louie, okay?" Olimar commanded. He set out on his own. . .

A/n R and R people!!!!
