A/N:
Just like to say some stuff:
Bdun, I understand, but beetles have a larval stage instead of any cocoon form. Their larva, the ones you saw in Pikmin 2, ARE already at that stage of life. Although, a Whiskerpillar pupa and butterfly would be interesting. OOH! That gives me an idea! Thank you. As for the helping beast, I have some ideas already, unless you don't mean bulbmin-esque things, or the such.
Pikmin in Hyrule, awesome name, by the way, anyway thank you. I love reviews!
Where is Water Dumple? I just want to thank him for his support, again.
On with the story.
When we last left our hero, erm. . . heroes, one was unconscious and the other was setting out, alone, to do field research with his trusty Pikmin.
A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A.
Olimar took a step out of the air-conditioned ship and was immediately overtaken by the humid, weighty air. Even through his helmet he could feel it and just stood in the majesty of nature, gazing around. It was so peaceful, his ship's whirring blending with the wind, the Pikmin already out of their Onion, laying down absorbing the rays of the planet's solar sphere.
Wait, he thought, Why are the Pikmin outside of the Onion already? I have never seen the do this before. I knew it! They ARE getting smarter every time I visit!
He ran over to the colony and noticed something odd. Their leaves, normally a natural green, were yellow, nay, golden. This was unlike even when they were idle, the sun was super energizing them!
He called them to him, using his mechanical eye cover camera to watch every detail of how they acted now. He never realized independent Pikmin were capable of using photosynthesis to this degree, he had taken their source of energy for granted. The Onion used pellets for energy, using the excess from seed production to fly and stay alive. Candypop Buds used the geothermal energy. Both were related to Pikmin in one way or another in a symbiotic relationship. Pikmin not only gathered energy from the soil before they were picked, and used nectar, but also used the light of the sun to gather nutrients.
As Olimar spoke all this into his microphone to record this information for later, he noticed a shadow moving near the bend leading to Emergence cave. He quickly recalled the Pikmin to him and hurried that way. Olimar tripped and in an odd mimicry, all the Pikmin following him did too. Then Olimar heard it. Was it a voice, or music? It seemed both.
"Need any help?" it asked. He looked up, there stood in front of him a sight which was a living impossibility. He saw what appeared to be... well. . . him. Only it wasn't, being no helmet, but there was an antennae, pink in coloration. Olimar quickly stood and regained his composure.
"Who are you?! Why are you in my image?" he demanded, knowing something must be amiss. The copy slowly changed into a Pikmin, only with the pink antenna and pink color too, with a mouth.
"Is this form more suitable?" it asked in an again almost feminine voice.
The astronaut gaped. He opened his mouth to speak, shut it again, opened it again, shut it again, opened it again, shut it again, opened it again, shut it again, opened it again, ad finally spoke, in an almost sane and calm way.
"Are you what the in the name of Hocotate?" he said, still shaken up.
"I am P." she stated.
"And what does that stand for, If I may ask?" he queried.
"Pachijental melodious psudoformacia Pikminia. My genus, doctor Olimar." At this the man started,
"How. . do you know," he stuttered.
"Your name, occupation, and language while being a mere Pikmin? You are a legend to us, doctor, you brought us to a higher ladder on the food chain of this planet. My kind, the Pachijental. . . well, I am the last, I fear, our Onion, as you call them, has been destroyed by what you would call. . . Toadmin? I wish to come with you. And Olimar. I am not asking, as you have no choice in the matter. You may call me Pach." She spoke grinning. Olimar had not noticed this before, but her mouth seemed to be full of razor sharp teeth, neatly arranged. So, without arguing, Olimar went with her. He had been hoping to make some discoveries today, and so he had.
Well. . . I hope you liked this chapter. I named her Pach, because Olimar's name is based on Mario, Louie is Luigi, and Pach is Peach. No, she is not a pink Pikmin, she has not even fully shown her true form yet. Read and REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
