Pikmin Adventures: Book 2

The Search Day 2: The Return Of Purple Pik

Pik's POV(I Bet You Didn't See THAT One Coming!)

"We're At The Cave! C'mon, Let's Go!" I... Am Exhausted... Yeep May Be Energetic, But It Doesn't Mean All Of Us Have To Be Energetic Too... Well... HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOF! I Don't Think I'll Ever Get Used To Hitting The Cold, Dirty Ground. This Room Looks A Little Weird, It's Almost As If Someone Literally Dug A Hole For It... Wait. NO. MY GREATEST ENEMY! FRUIT! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT'S THE EXACT ONE THAT RIPPED MY MOUTH WIDE OPEN! Well, Might As Well Go Home Now. "Hey, Where Do You Think You're Going?!" ...I'VE BEEN SPOTTED! TO THE EXIT! TO THE RANDOM GEYSER! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO-ARGH!...Why Did I Think That Would Work? "We Are NOT Leaving Pik! You Hear That?" "Hard To Hear Without Ears, Yeep." "...Ok, Then I'll Have Bob Do Ear Surgery On You!" Well, I'm Dead. Wait, Bob Doesn't Have Ears, So How Would He Know How To Perform Ear Surgery Without Knowing The Basic Structure Of Ears? Then Again, He Is Bob, So He'd Probably Think Ear Surgery Is Foot Surgery. "Now, Let's Continue Pik." WAITWAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT! NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONOONONONOOOOOOO!!!! I'M GONNA PUKE! Wait, That Wouldn't Really Be Beneficial To My Mouth, Because Puke Is Basically Food That Has Gone Through The Stomach Acid, And Comes Back Up, So In Conclusion, That Just Means That It's Widening My Wound-Wait, What Am I Talking About Again? Oh Yeah, Now I Remember. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Ok, I Feel Better Now. BLEEEEEEEEEH! Ok, I Feel Better For Real Now. BLEH! I Forgot How Bad Puke Tastes... BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! Ugh, I Feel Sick-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOOOF! I Think... I Found The Next Floor... "HEY PIK!" "What..." "ARE YOU OK?!" "I Puked Myself Down Into A Hole, Of Course I'm Ok!" "REALLY? YOU LOOK SICK TO ME!" "I Was Being Sarcastic..." "BUT IF YOU'RE FINE, WE'LL COME DOWN!" "WAIT, YEEP DON'T JUM-OWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" ...Yeep Needs Bigger Ears If He Didn't Hear Me. "Can You Get Off Of Me...." "Okiedokie!" Wuuuhh... I Don't Feel So Good... "WE'RE ALL COMING DOWN NOW, GET OUT OF THE WAY!" "WAIT, DON'T JUMP YET-YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCCCCCCCCHHHHHHH!!!" ..Urp... I Feel Sick All Over... I'm Hurt To My Stomach... Wait... I Think I Said It Wrong... Whatever... Everyone Got Off Of Me, And I Somehow Got Up, Despite Me Feeling Like The King Of Spoats Just Stomped Me... I Think I Can Walk A Little... Hey Is That A Ball?... It Kinda Looks Like The Planet... It Looks Cool-BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!! Ugh... Hey, What Is This? This Room Looks Cool... Hey, Are Those Purple Flowe-BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! WHERE AM I?! WHAT IS THIS PLACE?! WHY IS THERE PURPLE EVERYWHERE?! BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH! Wait, The Barf Is Flying Around, So Would That Mean I'm In Spa-BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!

Randy's POV

"Hey, Where Did Pik Go?" Really? How Did Nobody See Him Puke So Hard, That He Rocketed Himself Into Another Room? "He Went Over There, How Did You Guys Not See Him?" I Ask, And All I Get Is A Shrug From Pretty Much Everyone. "I'll Go Get Him..." Honestly, Am I The Only One Who Actually Notices When A Pikmin Leaves? There Literally Was A Stream Of Puke Heading Into This Roo-What The... Are Those Purple Flowers? And Did Pik Just Go Into One? "Uh, I Found Him!" "YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL RANDY!" "...You're Literally Yelling Right Now Yeep." "OH, SORRY! WAIT, LEMME APOLOGIZE IN PERSON!" ...Is It Really Necessary? "Ok Randy, I Yeep, Am Sorry For Yell-WOAH, ARE THOSE PURPLE FLOWERS?!" "Yeah. I Think Pik Went Into One Of Them." "Well, Flowers Don't Activate Until Five Go Into One... So... You Wanna Go In?" "What?! No Way! I Just Got My Red Color Back, I'm Not Losing It Again!" "So, Who's Going?" "...Get Everyone Here." "Okiedokie! EVERYBODY GETCHO BOOTISES OVER HERE, WE FOUND SOMETHIN'!" ..Well That Was One Way To Get Everyone's Attention. "WOAH! IS THAT A PURPLE FLOWER?!" Rod Asks, And Yeep Answers, "Yupperdo!" "Is Pik In One Of Them?" "Yupperdo! Wait, Min, Aren't You Two Siblings Or Something?" "Yes!" "Oh. So Who Four Lucky Contestants Want To Hop In The Flower To Rescue Pik?" A Red Hand Went Up. "Ok Crazy Craig, Go On Up There!" "I'm Flay." How Does Bob Mess That Up Every Time? A Yellow Hand Went Up. "Ok Then Yodel, Who Else?" A Blue Hand Went Up. "Ok Over-" "Hey! It's Pedro Now!" "...Anyone Else?" Another Blue Hand Went Up. "Ok Craig, Now All Four Of You, Jump In." ...Why Aren't They Jumping In? "Ok, I'm Done Waiting. Up We Go, I Guess." Ok, They're All In Now. I Wonder What A Purple Pikmin Will Look Like? Probably The Same As Pik When He Was Mushroomized. The Flower Suddenly Shot Out Five Purple Seeds! "What Do You Think They'll Look Like Rod?" "Most Likely Big And Fat." That's... A Little Strange. "I Think They'll Have A Horn!" Yeep Says. "No, They Have To Have A Tail." "What About A Bob?" "They're Going To Be Technology!" "Just Pluck Them, And We Can Go!" ...Min Has Become VERY Strict Since The El Chupacamintaurisaurus D. Rex The Eighteenth Mark IV Incident. "Ok... But Only If Randy Does It." "What?! Why Me?!" "Because You're The Mature Leader! Yeep's The Childish One, And I'm The Stupid One Who Knows All About Memes! You're Mature, Meaning You Won't Let Anything Hurt Us, And You Definitely Won't Let Anything Hurt The Baby Child, Yeep." "Hey! I'm Not A Child!" ...What's A Meme? "Fine. I'll Take... This One." I Say, And I Tug On The Stem. It Won't Budge. "Uh... Can I Get Some Help?" "Okiedokie, Pepperoni, Give Me The Baloney!" ...What's A Pepperoni? Yeep Grabs On, And We Both Pull As Hard As Possible, And Out Comes... A Big, Fat, Hairy... Purple Pikmin. I Guess Rod Was Right. "Hey Guys, Whatcha Looking At? Also, I Don't Feel Sick Anymore!" ...That's Pik. "Hey Wait A Minute... Why Am I Purple?" "You Went Into A Purple Flower. Also, You're Big And Hairy Now." "...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! WHY MUST THE WORLD CURSE ME LIKE THIS?!" "I Dunno." Bob Says. "Guys, We Have A Problem." "What Kind Of Problem?" "The Signal Has Left This Area." Oh No. Yeep's Gonna Scream Right About..... Now. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-" "Luckily, I Know How To Find It Again. We Just Need To Take This Hemisphere Back To Mother." Thank Mother, I Don't Think I Can Take Anymore Screaming This Week! "So.. How Do We Get It Back Up There? The Exit Is Too Small For That Huge Hunk Of Wood." "I Have A Shrinker!" "Cool. Wait, How Did You Even Make That?" "I Used...." What Did He Use? "....MAGIC." ...What's A Magic? "Wait, Why Don't You Just Shrink It, Then Take It Up By Yourself?" "Because When It Shrinks Stuff, It Doesn't Shrink The Weight, Only The Size." "...Well, That's Just Stupid." "Science Can't-Do Anything. Also, We'll Need 365 Pikmin To Carry This." "But We Only Have 320 Pikmin Here!" "Well... I Was Doing Tests On The Violet Candypop Bud, And I Learned Two Things, One: It Smells Delicious, And Two: It Makes You Extremely Strong!" "So, What You're Saying Is Because We Have 5 Purple Pikmin..." "We Should Have The Exact Number Of Pikmin We Need!" "So Let's Get Going!" Rod Shrunk The Hemisphere, And We All Grabbed It, And We Went To The Geyser. Ok... UP WE GO!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-OOF! Ugh, It's Cold... Well, The Day's Almost Over, We Should Probably Head Insi-Wait, It's Not Sunset Yet?! But We Went In The Cave In The Early Morning, The 13 Minutes Of The Day Should've Ended By Now! It's Not Even Afternoon! It's Still Early Morning! "Rod, It's Still Early Morning! What Is Going On?!" "...What The... Wait... Does Time Work Differently Underground? Hm... I Need To Test This First. If I Come Back Out Of The Cave Right Away, Tell Me." He Says, As He's Running Toward The Cave. Five Seconds Later, He Comes Shooting Out Of The Hole. "Ok, How Long Was That?" "Five Seconds." "Then It's True... Time Works Differently Underground! I Was Under There For At Least 10 Minutes, And Up Here, I Was Down There For Only Five Seconds!" "So... What Now?" "I'd Say You Guys Should Collect Some Nutrients, I'm Going To Have To Work On Using These Parts To Upgrade Mother, So I'll See You All In 10 Minutes." ...So Rod's Getting Food Even Though The Only Thing He's Doing Right Now Is Doing Science Stuff. How Completely Fair.
