As soon as [[Olimar]] returns from the [[PNF-404|planet of the Pikmin]], he is informed of the situation by [[the President]] of Hocotate Freight, and of his ship, the [[S.S. Dolphin]], being sold: it is confiscated as he arrives. In shock, Olimar drops the bottle cap he has been holding, which was meant as a souvenir for his son, rolls to the ground, causing the sensors of an old ship behind the President to go wild. [[The Ship]] proceeds to announce that the bottle cap is worth 100 [[Poko]]s, after which the President orders Olimar to go back to the Pikmin planet with [[Louie]] to find enough [[treasure]] to cover the now 10,000-Poko debt.
