Louie

...

I'm Louie...

I kinda want to stay here...

...

I'm hungry... I want something fresh.

Go find a cave... Get me some grub... before the Onion gets it...

I wonder if I can ride this one too...

Hmm... Yeah. Bigger dogs are better.

Now that I have the ingredients I need...

You can have...this.

A Sovereign Bulblax feast for supper...
It's going to be a good night.

You got the grub, huh.

Then take this.

Go get more ingredients.

I'm still missing some...

Go get 4 Dwarf Bulborbs. There were some at that something-something
Hollows. Maybe.

Check out something-something Hollows in that terrace place.

Dwarf Bulborbs taste great in stews...

Next, I want 2 Yellow Wollyhops. I think I saw some at that blah-blah...Courtyard.

The blah-blah Courtyard, or whatever.
It's where all those floating petals are.

Char-grilled Yellow Wollyhop legs... Yum...

I'm in the mood for 1 Peckish Aristocrab.
You can catch 'em at that Resort place.

You find them by the water. At that
Resort something-or-other...

Crab soup or crab sashimi... Tough call.

I'm so hungry I could eat 1 whole Fiery
Bulblax... They might be in that cave called...something-something the Beast.

Go to that something-something the
Beast. Near the hearth.

Fiery Bulblaxes... The eyeballs are the best part.

Just 1 Giant Breadbug... Look for one at a place called...something-something Palace.

It's like..."insert word here" Palace.
Somewhere in a building, I guess?

Giant Breadbugs are bland... I need to find a better recipe for them.

I could go for 1 Sovereign Bulblax tonight...
You can find one for me wherever that giant dog is.

That dog den's swarming with good catches. I wanna go back...

A Sovereign Bulblax can be a three-course meal. Add the ferns on its back for garnish.

I like this planet... I wanna show it to
Nana someday.

President... What's his name?

I really wanna stay here...

Mmm, space food... It's not enough...

...

Errrm...

Hmm...

...

Guh?!

Now go away.

Ugh...

Go home.

Why are you here again?

Hmph.

Ha...

I'll take that Dandorium now.

Grrrm...

I need to get that Dandorium...

Ugh...

So inconvenient...

I've got a bad feeling about this...

I gotta take this seriously?

You're alright.

This is a cinch.

You're persistent...

Could go either way.

You're strong...

Uh-oh.

It's in the bag.

Too easy.

I won't be losing...

Just give up, OK?

Feeling good...

I just keep things moving...

You're toast. Mmm...

Take this!

You like that?

Hmph...

There's more of them now...

Ooo, more...

Can't lose now.

So energetic...

Nice and shiny...

I'll take that Bonus Find.

A Golden Sniffer... Looks tasty.

The Golden Sniffer's mine.

Is that a Sneak Bomb?

Is that a Sneak Bomb?

Is that a Sneak Bomb?

This just got interesting...

This just got interesting...

This just got interesting...

It will be mine...

It will be mine...

It will be mine...

Argh...

Argh...

Argh...

Mrm...

They got Moss.

I'll take some more, I guess.

So many Pikmin...

Shrug.

The Pikmin got wiped out.

Don't wanna...go.

Food! Tasty snacks!

I'm hungry...

Ergh...

...Leave me alone.

Ugh... So persistent.

Ugh.

...

Go home!

...

Ngh...

I'm supposed to find Olimar. Boss's orders. Hmm. I don't really remember what he looks like.

These thingies remind me a lot of
Pikpik Carrots. I'd eat them, but then who'd carry my snacks? Wish I had a golden Pikpik Carrot to eat right now.

Got sick of Nana's cookies, so I tried eating some of the creatures around here. They're pretty yummy.

If you don't hurry up and eat these, they turn hard in the ground. As soon as I spot one, I dig it up and grill it.

The stories Olimar told were always boring, but he never got too angry when I messed up... Still drawing a blank on his face.

Saw something sort of Olimar shaped.
It was pretty shaggy and seemed happy enough. I'll leave it alone for now. I'd like to ride that green dog thing it had with it.

Mostly been focusing on snacks lately.
Guess I'll just make something up when
I report to the boss.

A green dog thing came up to me.
It could be the one I saw with that
Olimar-ish creature. Must've been abandoned. Guess I'll keep it.

Tried some of that green juice the things by the hearth were drinking.
Tastes really yummy. It makes my head and tummy feel all warm and cozy.

・Marinated lip steak
・Claw croquettes with cream sauce
・Roasted leg and miso shells
・Soy-pickled eyeballs

I can pick all the fresh mushrooms I want here. I'll save some for Nana to try once I go home.

I filled my belly with all kinds of snacks. The strongest creatures are the tastiest. Except that ultimate weapon-like one. It was barely edible.

I see a lot of places to mess around down here. Wouldn't be a bad place to live. I hid all my snacks in a box, but forgot the code I need to open it.

So many creatures came toward me at once, it was like an all-you-can-eat buffet. My belly's so full. I couldn't eat another bite.

Got stuck in the bottomless swamp.
Some parts of it were pitch-black. And now I'm covered in mud. Reminded me of the mountain behind Nana's house.

I love how sticky it is down here.
Plus, I had snacks walking over to me nonstop. Two of them were really big.

Spotted a huge dog thing in the mushroom forest. I like the one
I have now, but that one looks more fun. Guess I'll follow it.

Found the huge dog thing near the large rock at the back of the swamp.
It had something in its mouth. It was that pink person who had the yummy juice. She's getting in the way. I'll just drop her somewhere.

Finally tamed that huge dog thing.
I'm gonna lie low for a while in its den. It's really deep, and there are plenty of snacks. The others will give up and go home.

My favorite thing in all of space to eat but hard to come by. If I did find some, I'd devour them all to my heart's content. I'm just waiting for the right delivery job...

Go find four Dwarf Bulborbs. They're super yummy in stews and soups. I think I spotted some at that something-something Hollows.

I want two Yellow Wollyhops. If you grill their legs till they're well-done, they make for a crunchy snack. You can find them at that blah-blah Courtyard, I think.

I'm hungry for one Peckish Aristocrab. But do I want crab soup or crab skewers? Tough call.
Anyway, you can catch them at that Resort place. Get to it.

I'm in the mood for one whole Fiery Bulblax.
Their eyes are the best part. You may be able to find some in that cave called something- something the Beast.

I need one Giant Breadbug. They're pretty bland on their own, but maybe I can dress it up.
Go look for one at "insert word here" Palace.

Tonight, I'm in the mood for a Sovereign
Bulblax. I'll make it into a three-course meal.
I bet there will be one at the giant dog's den.

If we search for Louie, we're likely to find clues about the giant dog too!

You won't find Louie in this area.

To be honest, we don't think this is where
Louie fled to.

Louie

Ask your pup to sniff out Louie.

There they are! Louie and Moss!

Huh? Is this for real? Louie, wait!

Louie! It's Olimar! Can you hear me?

Louie!

Louie! He's—

There's Louie! Phew, Nelle appears unharmed.

Louie's run off somewhere...

Never mind that—we need to rescue Nelle.

We should secure Moss as well. We don't want her to end up back in Louie's care.

Once we get out of here, I'll command Moss to head to the Rescue Command Post.

Louie is as much of a Dandori master as Olimar.

Which means you can beat him! Don't even think about giving up now.

Louie was pretty good down there...

But I believe you can win, so don't give up.
Give it your all...for Oatchi!

Louie may have gotten away, but you were amazing, Dingo! I wouldn't expect any less.

All that's left to do is rescue the Koppaite castaway. Go ahead, Rescue Officer!

Then what exactly is it that you do want,
Louie? I'm still not sure.

Just be honest with me. I won't get mad,
I promise.

I may never understand you, Louie.
But you can't say that I didn't try.

Why won't Louie cooperate with us?

Where did Louie run off to? I just hope he isn't involved with anything dangerous.

I know he steals and eats food that isn't his, and he is usually pretty annoying.
But Louie's not a bad guy.

Louie's Dandori skills are quite impressive.
He must have been one of the top employees at your company.

Me too, but I'm sure living alongside
Louie gave it a bit of hope and joy.

No one could be lonely with a bond like that to hold on to.

Based on what I know about Louie,
I find that hard to believe.

I suppose now is a good time for Louie and
I to have a little chat. Could you give us a minute?

No need to untie him just yet...

It's Louie! He's a coworker of mine at Hocotate Freight.

Perhaps... Though Louie wouldn't have been my top choice.

Let's follow Louie! We don't want anything to happen to that possibly
Koppaite castaway.

Oh! There's Louie!

Stop right there, Louie! What are you doing with Nelle? Explain yourself!

You need to follow Louie. Oatchi should be able to track the scent.

Agreed. You two—follow Louie's scent and rescue Nelle!

Well, now that Moss is here with us, it's possible that Louie will try to find and "adopt" that other dog.

If we follow Louie's scent, it could lead us right to the pooch we're looking for.

It's worth a shot. We have a new mission!

Track down Louie in the Primordial Thicket.
Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of that giant dog!

As strange as he may be, Louie did look after me...in his own way.

I doubt she's forgiven Louie for stealing that juice.

Well, our mission is clear. Find Louie, and extract the necessary cells from that dog.

Good luck, Rescue Officer!

I'm glad you've arrived safely,
Rescue Officer and Oatchi.

Now, go ahead and sniff out Louie and that giant pup!

It's Louie's log! He must be hiding somewhere around here.

Louie! Louie!!! Come out from wherever you're hiding!

SHHH! Stay quiet, Collin!

If Louie is around here, that giant dog won't be far behind.

We need some of its cells to cure Oatchi.
Whatever you do, don't let it get away!

There he is! Louie!

There's no place left to run, Louie. It's time to give up and give in!

Louie?

Whew... I'll take that tiny glimmer of hope for now. Grab that collar and let's go.

And don't forget to secure Louie!
I'm not sure my heart can take another high-stakes pursuit.

You heard her. Let's get Louie out of here.

Excellent. Now that you've secured the collar and Louie, head on back.

Soon after setting out for a new area to look for the veterinarian Nelle, you came upon Captain Olimar's subordinate, Louie, and Moss. They made off with a castaway that looked a lot like a Koppaite.

You located Louie and Moss! Though you tried to convince them to hand over the castaway, they ignored you and fled into a cave. Don't lose your best chance at curing Oatchi now!

After you defeated Louie in a Dandori Battle, he and Moss ran off together, leaving the castaway behind. The castaway appears to be a Koppaite. Their rescue is now your top priority!

You located the veterinarian Nelle! But no sooner did you find her than she was dragged away again by Louie and Moss. You're determined to get her back to cure poor Oatchi, no matter what it takes.

Louie and Moss escaped again, dragging Nelle into a cave with them.
You don't know what their goal is, but it doesn't look like they want to let her go anytime soon.

Louie escaped, but thankfully he left Nelle and Moss behind. As Moss heads for the Rescue Command Post at Olimar's command, you need to hurry up and rescue Nelle so she can treat Oatchi's tail.

The giant dog that Louie is pursuing is most likely the creature that kidnapped Nelle. To cure Oatchi, she'll need the cells of that dog, since it doesn't have a leaf tail. Clinging to a sliver of hope, you head out to continue your search in the Primordial Thicket.

You found Louie's journal next to a cave deep in the woods. This cave looks like it might be the giant dog's den. If so, Louie and the giant dog are sure to be inside!

While searching the giant dog's den, you happened upon a lurking Louie!
Ignoring your calls, he disappeared into the back of the cave.

Just when you thought you had Louie cornered in the deepest level of the cave, he got on a terrifyingly giant dog and attacked! To get your hands on the dog's cells, you'll have to find some way to quell its rage.

The giant dog fled, leaving behind its collar and Louie. Using the dog's cells left on its collar, you should have what you need to cure Oatchi.
You also have an unconscious Louie. It's time to return to the Rescue
Command Post.

To cure Oatchi's tail, we'll need cells from a dog without a leaf on its tail. You need to get close to that giant dog that Louie is with, eheheh.

Find Louie and the Giant Dog

The Voyage Log entry found at the entrance to the Cavern for a King suggests Louie and the giant dog are somewhere in the depths of this cave. Let's find them and make Oatchi's cure!

Pursue Louie and the Giant Dog

I'm shocked that Louie came to this planet too...

Oh, Louie... My goodness, what are you up to?

Like me, Louie works for Hocotate Freight.

If he came to this planet looking for me,
I don't understand why he'd run away...

The truth about Louie is that he has a good heart...deep down. Beneath all those clumsy and awkward parts.

I'm sure he had his own Louie-like reasons for challenging you to a Dandori Battle.

Do you think you could let it go and forgive him, for me?

The S.S. Beagle is prepped and ready.
Here's hoping we find Louie soon.

So there's a giant dog several times bigger than Oatchi, huh? I wonder if Louie could really handle something like that.

If we can track Louie's scent, we'll be that much closer to finding that giant dog.

Give Oatchi a chance to sniff around a bit once you're in the Primordial Thicket.

So what exactly is Louie's end game here?
I don't really get it...

I recently asked Nelle about her experiences with that giant dog creature.

Apparently, when she was first captured, it was quite playful. She said she didn't feel like she was in any danger at all.

That made me wonder if it was acting more aggressive and violent because it was being controlled by Louie.

What a pleasant surprise! Louie, that delightful fellow, contributed descriptions to my Treasure Catalog.

His entries have a unique style. Truly they are not to be missed. You should give them a read!

Both Olimar AND Louie contributed treasure descriptions to my Treasure
Catalog! I couldn't be more thrilled.

They each have such a unique perspective.
You really should read their entries not just once but two or even three times!

I took down Louie's comments about the creatures he encountered...

The content was a bit shocking, but it's a type of love... I think. You can take a look... if you like.

I had the pleasure of hearing about creatures from both Olimar and Louie.

Their rather disparate Notes sections are brimming with love and enthusiasm! Be sure to read them in their entirety!

I wonder...how should we deal with Louie when we finally catch up to him?

Perhaps we should sit him down and have a very looong talk with him about treating food with the respect it deserves.

Oh, Louie. What am I going to do with him?

I guess Louie was at this base...

What was Louie doing here?

Louie got by on his own for so long...
