Fortunately for Olimar, he was able to regain | Fortunately for Olimar, he was able to regain conscious from his crash, but he became hopeless, as his ship was stuck in the ground and 30 of its pieces were dislodged. While he was exploring an area he called [[the Impact Site]], he met odd creatures called [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] at an unoccupied [[Onion]]. The [[Red Pikmin]] were able to reproduce more Pikmin, so Olimar was able to find some useful helpers on the planet. Utilizing the Pikmin's many talented deeds, he was able to find the Dolphin's [[Main Engine]] which had fortunately landed in the same area as he crashed. The Pikmin helped him find and retrieve it back to his ship, letting the Dolphin at least lift off. As he was looking for more parts, he discovered more Pikmin, including [[Yellow Pikmin]] and [[Blue Pikmin]] in two different areas. The wildlife he encountered intrigued him; they were nothing like he had ever seen. The creatures were no match for the Pikmin he commanded, for the Pikmin defeated them and took their bodies to their Onions, in order to produce more Pikmin. Luckily for Olimar, he was able to find at least 25-30 ship parts on the planet and restore his ship's damage. Before he left, he took a bottle cap from the planet as a souvenir and took notes on the wildlife. | ||

As Olimar and Louie were heading to the [[Valley of Repose]], Louie fell out of the cockpit and Olimar had to search for him. Luckily for Olimar, he found a group of [[Red Pikmin]] fighting a lone [[Dwarf Red Bulborb]]. He was able to unite with Louie by using the Pikmin to sqash the [[Paper bag|barriers]]. Before, Louie had discovered a treasure, and with the help of Olimar, were able to forage a treasure, dubbed the [[Courage Reactor]] and start their adventure. They then discovered a series of [[Cave]]rns deep underground, which housed many treasures and even some new [[Pikmin(species)#Purple Pikmin|Pikmin species]]. As they were able to make movements in [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]], the debt lowered to a small amount. In the end, Olimar and Louie were able to pay the debt. Olimar blasted off the planet, but noticed that he somehow left Louie behind, but at too late a time to go back and rescue Louie immediately. | As Olimar and Louie were heading to the [[Valley of Repose]] to pay off the debt, Louie fell out of the cockpit and Olimar had to search for him.
