Opening Scene

(As spoken by a Narrator) After being rescued by Alph, Brittany, and Charlie and returning safely back to Hocotate, Louie started to miss the bugs he had become friends with during his adventures in the Dream Den. He thought about them all the time, how he and the Titan Dweevil had gathered a group of insects, from Anode Beatles to Dirigibugs, and battled the Anphibuters, Jellyfloats, and other "non-bugs" in the cave. How, upon reaching the 14th sublevel, he and his friend took a well-deserved nap, and, of course, how he had woken up in the ship's crowded cargo hold. As Louie remembered all this, he realized that he still had no idea what had become of his friend. The next day, Louie asks Olimar for his view of the story. Olimar tells him that the Titan Dweevil was killed, and his treasures stolen. Louie flies into a rage, running to Hocotate Freight headquarters and hijacking the ship from Pikmin 2. He flies to the Pikmin planet, only to see things have changed tremendously. The surface of the planet is like a checkerboard, with half of the sections being lush green plant life, and the others being cracked, dry wasteland. The planet had changed so much, Louie could no longer tell where the Wistful Wild was, let alone the Dream Den. After finding what he thought might be the general area of the planet that he and Olimar had explored so long ago, Louie realized that a bright, golden light was shining from the bottom of a large lake that looked a little like the Perplexing Pool. Having nothing else to do, Louie landed on the shore of the lake and waded out to investigate. The lake was very shallow, and in no time at all Louie reached the golden light. A large deposit of shimmering metal sat on the bottom of the pond. As Louie got closer, four insectoid, black legs rose up from the ground. "The Titan Dweevil!" Louie exclaimed. Meanwhile, the ship's exploration pod had detached and found another deposit of the strange gold compound. "I shall- Zrrt! send a transmission to Olimar! He will be interested in this, for sure. Ding!"

"Olimar?" "Yes?" Olimar answered. "I have discovered a very strange--" "What about Louie?" Interrupted Olimar. "Oh, he ran off as soon as we landed" "And you didn't stop him?" "..." "I have discovered a very strange golden substance that appears to have a very unstable molecular structure. It also seemingly has reacted randomly to the conditions on this planet. The surface is now divided randomly into different environments. I fear that this material will also upset the indigenous life-forms here." "That's great, ship, but--" "the substance also seems to also function as a energy booster for bugs, as it contains high amounts of vitamin B and certain minerals found in rotting meat" "I--" "This golden substance is present on this planet in large amounts, according to scans. It would be best if a certain space pilot came and used certain carrots to say, remove as much of the golden material as possible." "Fine, fine, if it'll shut you up." "Oh, and one last thing" "WHAT?" "I have named it Volitarium"

It's up to Olimar, the President, and Olimar's son, Sagittarius, to dispose of all the Volitarium and to somehow convince Louie to come back to reality.
