After Olimar's success on PNF-404, he was able to escape the planet to return to Hocotate, see his family and return to his normal life. After arriving at [[Hocotate Freight]], he met up with [[the President]] and a new employee named [[Louie]]. After landing his ship, he learned that the company was in debt, having to pay at least {{pokos|10,100}} for the loss of a [[golden pikpik carrot]] shipment. Learning that the Dolphin was sold to help pay the debt, Olimar was so shocked he dropped the souvenir for his son. As the bottle cap rolled past Louie, an [[Hocotate ship|old ship]] was able to suck up the item. Its pod analyzed the piece of salvage to be worth {{pokos|100}}, which lowered the debt to {{pokos|10,000}}. The President commanded Olimar and Louie to return to the Pikmin Planet and collect more [[treasure]] as a result. | ||

Louie's first mission for Hocotate Freight was to transport a shipment of valuable [[golden pikpik carrot]]s. In it, he was supposedly attacked by a ravenous space bunny and the carrots were lost. The President of Hocotate Freight took out a giant loan to cover the losses of the carrots, and had no way to repay the debt other than sell off company assets. On Olimar's return to Hocotate, the President learns of the existence of treasure on PNF-404 and orders both Olimar and Louie to retrieve objects that can be sold for profit, in order to save the company. | ||
