The story begins with Olimar being called into the Presidents office. he is about to be given a promotion when suddenly ten red pikmin burst through the door and start to carry him off. Confused and shocked, Olimar struggles and the pikmin (realising that wasn't the best of welcomes) let him go and signal out of the window. Olimar, the president and the pikmin run out of the building and see the red onion parked next to The ship. The reds are clearly troubled and enter the onion to fly away. one stays to signal to Olimar to get in the Ship. he runs up jumps in and looks back at his boss to see if he's coming. He awkwardly looks away, has a sudden idea and runs off returning minutes later with a bewildered Louie. Louie is litteraly dumped into the ship as it flys of to follow the onion. An hour later both ships land on the pikmin planet and the captains are see an army of multi-coloured pikmin fighting. Olimar jumps and blows his whistle as loud as possible. the fighting stops immediatly and every one faces him. as Louie falls comically from the ship Olimar climbs onto the highest point he can see and gestures 'what are you doing?' after some shuffling the crowd bring forward a struggling black pikmin with glowinbg red eyes - a shadow pikmin. it snarls ferociosly and Olimar begins to piece together what is happening: the shadows either demonic ghost pikmin or an evil sub-species. Either way the're causing a civil war between pikmin and must be stopped. with the help of the pikmin, the ship and various power-ups found along the way, the two heroes must defeat 1,000 shadow pikmin in order to weaken the queen of shadows and save the very pikmin species....
