After Olimar's success at the Pikmin planet, he was able to blast off the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family and return to his normal life. Deciding to land at Hocotate Freight, he met up with the [[President of Hocotate Freight]] and a new employee named [[Louie]]. After landing his ship, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay at least 10,100 [[Poko]]s for the loss of a [[golden Pikpik carrot]] shipment (which was actually caused, not by "Space Bunnies" as Louie claimed, but [[Louie]] himself). Learning that the Dolphin was sold to pay the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped a souvenir for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an old ship commonly referred to as "[[the Ship]]" was able to use its [[Research Pod]] to suck up the rusty bottle cap. The Pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth 100 Pokos, which lowered the debt to 10,000 Pokos. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin Planet and collect more [[Treasure Hoard|treasure]]. | After Olimar's success at the Pikmin planet, he was able to blast off the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family and return to his normal life.

*Although not seen, the player can get a message from Olimar in the Wii game ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', which reads: "''I found this odd little hat on my travels. It looks just like one of those cute little creatures I've met in outer space! Have fun wearing it! - From Captain Olimar.''". When the player finshes reading the letter, they get an item called the "Red Pikmin Hat", which looks like a [[Red Pikmin|Red Pikmin's]] stem with a leaf. A "life size" model of his [[S.S. Dolphin|ship]] has also been released. | [[File:NI_Wii_ACPikminHat.jpg|thumb|The Pikmin hat]] | ||
