Plot
Hocotate Freight has flourished in the years since Captain Olimar and his coworker, Louie, returned from captivity on PNF-404. It has become a global superpower of its own on Hocotate, and thankful to the Pikmin, the President has become a person very concerned with nature and the Pikmin homeworld.
One day, Olimar and Louie were returning to Hocotate after delivering pikpik carrots to a nearby moon colony when the President asked to see them in his office. Upon arriving, Olimar saw the President talking with a rather attractive woman in a spacesuit. Her name was Pecha, the President said, and she was a member of a panel of scientists sent to PNF-404 to study the native wildlife. Pecha said she had found something on the Pikmin Planet that she found interesting.
She pulled out a large purple glowing crystal and said it was highly radioactive. The weird thing was, the crystals hadn't appeared until just recently. The President, not wanting the Pikmin Planet to die off from the radioactive ore, ordered Olimar and Louie to take Pecha to the planet and find out what was up with the weird crystals appearing. They went home, said goodbye to their families, and set out in Pecha's ship, the S.S. Cafe.
When they got into orbit around PNF-404, however, Olimar began hearing rustling in the storage compartment. Looking in, he saw his son, Sagittarius, with a homemade spacesuit of his own. He said he'd been wanting to go on an adventure with his dad for a really long time, and couldn't help himself. Sighing, Olimar helped him out of storage.
The first day of work on the planet proved well. They discovered caverns trailing around a nearby forest, which Olimar called the Serene Caverns, and found a group of ten Red Pikmin and their Onion. However, when they took off, they received an urgent message from the President. Apparently, the radioactive crystals were somehow spreading over Hocotate, and they needed to figure out what was going on as soon as possible. Louie said that, during his accidental abandonment, he found some strange treasures that looked like they were powerful enough to destroy the radioactive threat, and theorized they could build a machine from them that could save PNF-404 and Hocotate.
There was only one problem: they had so little time to do it. That's when Sagittarius got an insane idea, that they could continue to work at night. Seeing no other option, they agreed, though the Onion stayed in orbit. Searching in the dark, they eventually found another Onion, this one filled with a new Black Pikmin. Realizing that nocturnal Pikmin existed, Olimar and his team set to work building the machine.
