This started off as just a simple post I made at the Brawl Central forums, but I find it quite enjoyable and worthwhile to post here as well. It's based off the logbook entries that Captain Olimar makes throughout his adventure in the first Pikmin. However, he meets a new creature this time around...

Day 31
A strange occurrence of the most bizarre sense happened to me today; it was a situation I had never thought possible.
As my little friends and I continued to seek out valuable findings on this Distant Planet, I suddenly ran into an odd creature. It looked as though it fell from the sky, based on its surroundings, and it was distinctly pink in color. I dismissed my Pikmin behind me and came closer to further inspect the fallen beast.
Carefully, I approached and looked into what I thought were its eyes. Was I ever surprised when it looked back at me! Seeing its shape, it appeared to be like the rubber balls I used to buy at the toy store for my son, and I assumed it was flexible as one. The creature stood up on its large, red hind legs and smiled innocently at me. It seemed safe to do so, so I whistled back my troops, and we all got a good look at the mysterious creature.
As it looked down, a thought suddenly came to mind. "With this creature's round stature, could it contain a treasure?" Curiously, yet stupidly, I threw some Pikmin at the beast itching to see the results. Within seconds, they were shaken off, and the beast looked none too happy. It opened its seemingly minuscule mouth to proportions that seemed illogical to me, and suddenly, I felt as though I was being sucked towards its mouth at unbelievable speeds! I tried to hold my ground, but to no avail. I was suddenly encased in a dark, pink prison.
I thought this was the end for sure, as there was no defeating this rubber jail cell. I braced myself for what would happen, and looked back on my life. I remembered it all: My wife and child, my job at Hocotate Freight, my faithfully slow partner Louie, and all my loyal Pikmin friends. I thought it was all over. I would never see any of them again.
Suddenly, though I felt everything closing in as I was being swallowed, I came to see the light once more! I was outside the creature, and everything was perfectly alright. Astonished, I looked back at the creature as my Pikmin helped me up. Astounding! It looked eerily like myself! It had a large nose, which I found that quite amusing, and my whistling sphere atop its head. I had never heard of such a creature before, and am quite pleased that I got to meet one! Then, something astonishing happened. The creature reached down, and pulled a Pikmin sprout right out of the ground without one ever growing! It threw it my way, and the Pikmin passed away upon impact with the ground! Incredible! This beast is quite the find!
The day was growing old, and sundown was approaching at a swift rate. I gathered my troops, and bade farewell to the large pink creature as fast as I could. As I entered my ship, I wondered if I would see the strange creature again. I looked up as I flew away, and saw that the creature was flying away on a large yellow star. Astounding. Such a glorious day.
