Yonny

Night Expedition

Explore at night!

Let's chat!

Bye for now.

Well, hello there, new blood. It'll be nice to have a fresh subject around here, eheheh.

Since we'll be working together, you can just call me Yonny.

If you come across any of those leaflings that Dingo saw, bring them to me, and I'll find out what makes them tick.

Well, hello there, new blood. It'll be nice to have a fresh subject around here, eheheh.

Since we'll be working together, you can just call me Yonny.

No sense wasting valuable research time. I need you to go out on some night expeditions for me.

I want you to harvest extracts from the
Lumiknolls that I can use as medicinal ingredients. It's only possible at night.

I could go on, but you should just see it for yourself. Let me know when you're ready for a nighttime adventure, eheheh.

Hey, new blood. If you have any injuries or diseases slowing you down, I can help.

Also, if you find any of those leaflings that
Dingo saw, send them to me. I'll give them a free checkup...for science.

If you dig right into the night expeditions, you're sure to have some luck.

Need me for something, new blood? You're not feeling unwell, are you?

The leaflings are just...wow. The more I examine them, the more fascinating they become!

How are your night expeditions going?
Be sure to keep your guard up out there.

Heyyy, there you are. Aren't you supposed to be out collecting glow sap?

Eager to go out on a night expedition, are you? I'm ready when you are.

If the medicine doesn't work on Oatchi, that just means I get to do more research.

Night expeditions can be scary, but isn't it invigorating to be out there knowing you're at a disadvantage in the darkness?

Need me for something, new blood? You're not feeling unwell, are you?

Night expeditions can be scary, but isn't it invigorating to be out there knowing you're at a disadvantage in the darkness?

Give me a shout whenever you feel like going out for a night expedition.

Collin's great, but belieeeve me, you'll need my expertise when you're out there, lost in the dark, eheh.

Sooo, did you enjoy your venture out into the dark of night?

The creatures at night can be somewhat startling. I mean, you saw the way their eyes turn red!

I feel bad for the Lumiknolls. Must be rough always having creatures after them like that.

It was Dingo who drank the medicine, but don't be too upset with him.

Dingo thinks any drink left sitting out on a table must have been his.

I was testing out a new medicine aaand just happened to leave it where he stumbled upon it.

Eheheh, that can be our little secret.

If a Glow Pikmin gets eaten by a creature, it becomes a speck of light and vanishes.

But that doesn't mean it's dead and gone!

That speck of light gets absorbed by a Lumiknoll, and it's reborn into a
Glow Pikmin again.

So when Glow Pikmin get eaten, don't bother shedding a tear, eheheh!

Even though I'm rather intrigued by the leaflings, I must fight the urge to start picking and plucking at their leaves.

Apparently, our bushy friends use that foliage to breathe.

Even though I'm rather intrigued by the leaflings, I must fight the urge to start picking and plucking at their leaves.

Apparently, our bushy friends use that foliage to breathe.

We know glow sap breaks down leaves, and it also has remarkable healing effects.

Buuut if a non-leafified individual takes the medicine, those healing benefits are virtually nonexistent.

Perhaps next time you find someone badly injured, I should try turning them into a leaf person to heal them, eheheh.

You know Russ, right? He's always getting injured in the most interesting ways.

One time, he managed to scorch his face soot black while standing ankle-deep in a frozen puddle.

Never a dull moment, eheheh.

We reeeally need you to find Moss, that dog who's always with Olimar.

We need that pup for Oatchi's cure, so everyone is counting on you.

By nightfall, the bodies of creatures left during the day have disappeared. I wonder who or what is cleaning them up?

Also, the creatures attacking at night are different somehow. And no matter how many you defeat, more keep coming.

We don't yet understand the world of night on this planet. There are still many secrets waiting to be uncovered...

You know Bernard? It might surprise you to learn that he's actually one of the pickiest eaters I know.

We even have a separate section in our food storage just for him. A lot of absurdly expensive special-order items.

It's a bit over the top. Then again, as a doctor, I believe he should eat well, sooo
I have mixed feelings on the subject.

Even though I'm rather intrigued by the leaflings, I must fight the urge to start picking and plucking at their leaves.

Apparently, our bushy friends use that foliage to breathe.

That's unfortunate. It looks as if Moss got leafified too.

For Oatchi's cure, I'm going to need healthy space-dog cells.

About Koppaites... It appears they're capable of tolerating oxygen...buuut only in small quantities.

Just how small is "small" though? I wonder if one would let me conduct a few experiments...for posterity.

Do you have time to discuss glow sap?
I'm curious how it affects those who drink large quantities of the substance.

Even someone who has no tolerance for oxygen, like that Hocotatian, can suddenly tolerate the gas in small amounts.

Oxygen's toxic for us too, but I wonder...
What would a tiny portion of glow sap do to Dingo? I'll just leave it out on this table...

Now we can finally go home whenever we want to.

Although, I'd reaaally like to stay here a little longer. There's still so much research to be done!

Hmm, looking at its genetic makeup, it seems as if the Ancient Sirehound could be the ancestor of the space dog.

Over many generations, they got smaller and smaller until they reached the size of
Oatchi and Moss.

Just how old is that Ancient Sirehound,
I wonder? I wish it could tell me its secret to long life, eheheh.

I wish I could bring a Lumiknoll back with us, buuut François from the research task force insists it can't be done.

Imagine all the fascinating things I could do if I could mass-produce more medicine!

If you want to ask me anything about this planet at night, medicine, or whatever, feel free to do so anytime!

Eheheh! I like how curious you are.

Hey there, Oatchi. You're looking perky.
Maaaybe a little too perky. Should I give you a checkup?

Well, hello, Oatchi. Do me a favor. Don't pick strange things up off the ground and eat them while you're out there, OK?

These areas have been approved for night expeditions.

Where's our next adventure?

Come talk to me again when you're ready, eheheh.

See ya.

Sunset's not quite here yet, so you can breathe easy for a little bit, eheheh.

Looks like a good place to start exploring, eh?

If you feel ready to go on night expeditions, during your daytime explorations, try to discover where we can safely land, eheheh.

This area looks promising. Why don't you harvest glow sap here next?

You've already harvested all the glow sap here. Might as well collect more Glow Seeds.

Eheheh, you've really taken a shine to night expeditions, haven't you?

Glow sap! There's still some here. Get on out there and harvest it for us, alright?

Go harvest some more glow sap for us. One can never have too much medicine, eheheh.

This area's all out of glow sap. Let's go explore another location.

You've already harvested here, new blood.
Try finding glow sap somewhere else.

There's not much more glow sap to harvest.
Give daytime exploration a try, and see if you can find more bases.

You need to keep finding more bases during your daytime explorations to keep me well stocked. I'm counting on you, eheh.

Is there anything more exciting than heading out into the dark of night? Eheheh...

The danger level here isn't too high, but that doesn't mean a larger creature won't pop out and surprise you, eheheh.

Check the danger level before you begin.
That way you'll know when it's safest to start your exploration.

Isn't there just something sooo thrilling about going out at night? I wish I could go with you...

You never know what night expeditions will have in store for you. Make sure you're ready before heading out, new blood.

Check the danger level before you begin.
That way you'll know when it's safest to start your exploration.

Isn't there just something sooo thrilling about going out at night? I wish I could go with you...

There are two Lumiknolls here. Split up the work with Oatchi, and protect them both.

I sense this area is abuzz with danger!
Be careful that they don't get you out there.

You never know what night expeditions will have in store for you. Make sure you're ready before heading out, new blood.

This place is giving me the chills. Something exciting must be waiting here for you, eheheh.

The higher the danger level, the more frenzied the creatures. Eheh...

There are sooo many Bulborbs.
Be careful out there, eheheh.

There are A LOT of Bulborb Larvae here.
If you don't crush their nest holes, they'll just keep popping out.

This place is rife with Desiccated Skitter
Leafs and Joustmites. They'll close in on you in the blink of an eye, so keep a close watch!

Watch out for those Puffy Blowhogs.
Even Glow Pikmin will get blown away.

There are two Lumiknolls here. Use your night radar display to monitor positions closely.

Lots of Puffy Blowhogs and Shearwigs in the area. Keep an eye on the sky, eheheh.

Two Lumiknolls seems like a lot to manage.
Switch your roles strategically if you want to protect them both.

Protect the Lumiknoll in the castle's keep.
Don't just wait for an attack. Show some initiative, and go on the offensive too.

The two Lumiknolls here are pretty far apart.
When you're away from one, command your pal Oatchi to protect it.

There's a...super-creepy egg here. Might be wise to break it before it hatches.

There are two of those creepy eggs here.
Break one of them as soon as you can.

Watch out for the Emperor Bulblax here.
There are two Lumiknolls too, so protect them with your excellent Dandori skills.

Baldy Long Legs will keep creeping closer.
Skillful use of Glowmobs can stop them.

There are two creepy-looking eggs here.
Oh, and some Bulborb Larva nests to watch out for too, eheheh.

This place is overrun with frenzied creatures.
It's far more dangerous than any base you've handled before.

Alriiight... The time has come to start harvesting ingredients for the medicine.

Oh yes! Creatures are much more active at night, you know. Eheheh!

Speaking of cures, remember to harvest lots of that medicinal ingredient. We'll need as much as we can get our hands on...

Eheheh, I couldn't have done it without all that glow sap.

Should I whip up an invisibility serum?
It would at least provide the illusion of more space.

Eheheh! The only thing left to do now is administer the cure to Captain Olimar... or that leafling that may be Captain Olimar.

Ready, new blood? I'll need you to collect the glow sap that will one day run through his veins.

Heeey, Russ. Has the gear you've been giving to "new blood" to use out in the field been experimentally verified...or not?

If you're referencing that...vitamin booster, you may recall that it worked wonders on the captain.

Sooo, Dingo... When was the last time you talked to anyone back home? Spoken with your parents recently?

No, but the depth of the darkness we experience on this planet... Doesn't it remind you of our village?

I keep thinking back to that night when you got lost on the mountain. Everyone in town was in hysterics!

We do need to learn more about the leaflings, if only to make my cure all the more effective.

Indeed, but what if we could experiment on someone less...average? We do have a colleague with firsthand experience, eheh.

Alaaas, we have no medicine left in stock.

We dooo! I will give him a dose first thing tomorrow.

I'd like to build up a large stock of medicine, so get back out there and explore tonight, new blood.

Eheh! Oh, don't you fret. What am I here for...if not to heal those who put themselves needlessly at risk?

From what I've heard, the population on that planet is skyrocketing.

And if it continues at the current pace, they'll soon find themselves in a food crisis. Sad, really.

This dog, Moss, comes up quite a lot in
Captain Olimar's Voyage Log.

I'm veeery intrigued. Perhaps we'll encounter her somewhere on this planet!

You read my mind! If I could get a tissue sample of an unknown space-dog species, think of all the experiments I could run!

Just a little creature research. The more I examine these specimens, the more they intrigue me.

Their evolutionary processes seem to be very different from ours...

Oh, it's not really research as much as an experimental creature-breeding program.
Eheheh...

Well, he doesn't seem to be suffering from any health issues as of late. Let's just keep an eye on him for now.

Surely, I wouldn't have been able to cure any leaflings without the brave and humble work of new blood here.

Dingo, is there anything yooou wanted to say to Rescue Officer? Eheheh!

Mmm-hmm... What kind of memory?

Huh. I don't remember that at all. It was probably just a bad dream or something.
Not worth digging into any further.

I hope he doesn't remember anything else...

Hmm... Perhaps leafification has highly restorative effects...

This is definitely something worth looking into, eheheh.

Yeees, yes, good work. Now I need to harvest some of the fur, so give me that collar.

And we'll be needing those to create the curative medicine.

I'll have it done by morning.

よくわからないけどお…
惑星から離れるほど、具合が悪くなってるよお

Hmm... Yes... Leaflings, eh? It's a fascinating conundrum indeed.

Very fascinating...

You, new blood!

I have a theory I'd like to test. But I'll need to get my hands on that leafling. Could you find them for me?

Let me thiiink... The primary symptom is the growing of leaves, yes?

If that is the case, then I believe we may be able to cure them.

While stranded, I discovered a bewitching specimen called a Lumiknoll. It only appears in the dark of night.

When dawn breaks, it releases a sap quite high in degradative enzymes.

I believe I can make a medicine out of those secretions that can break down the newly grown leaves.

Alaaas, our friend Dingo here consumed all the sap that I previously collected, eheh.

So new blood will have to perform some night expeditions to harvest the medicinal ingredients for us.

Oh, it's nothing to lose sleep over. Except in the literal sense, eheheh.

Find me later, and I'll teach you all you need to know about night expeditions.

Yes, Captain!

Amaaazing! The radar isn't picking up the presence of any more leaflings!

Could that mean...we've cured every last leafling on this planet?! Eheheh!

Yes, Captain.

Yes, Captain.

Oatchi's symptoms seem to have stabilized since we stopped the
S.S. Shepherd and paused our flight.

Oatchi's feeling better!

Actually, while making the cure for Olimar,
I had a hunch and tested it on Oatchi too.

Sadly, it had no effect.

Huh! I know this Koppaite Nelle. Weeell,
I know of her.

She's famous in academic circles and is a preeminent veterinarian. Perhaps she could help us cure Oatchi.

Luckily, there is a veterinarian on this planet, Nelle, who miiight just be able to help us and cure Oatchi.

We've been making a medicine out of it, but it's no surprise that it's potable on its own.

Koppaites are famously fussy eaters.
And I believe their taste buds are quite different from our own.

You may recall when Dingo mistook it for a common beverage and drank some?

One of those Koppaites was absorbed into an Onion yet didn't become a leafling...

Veeery intriguing. I have quite a few questions for them specifically, eheheh.

You may recall when Dingo mistook it for a common beverage and drank some?

So strange. I can't help but wonder why you didn't turn into a leafling.

Of course! You were ingesting nearly pure glow sap, so the leaves must have been broken down before they could sprout!

It's just a theory...but an interesting one at that. I don't suppose you'd let me conduct an examination later, eheheh...

Now that I think about it... I believe you remained unchanged because you had been drinking all that glow sap!

Yes, I did. It had nooo effect.

It's a combination of glow sap and non-leafified cells from a non-leafified individual.

Excellent idea. I'm on it!

Excuse me, but while preparing to harvest cells from Moss, I came across this...

There! The dog's collar! It must have fallen off!

It could contain lingering particles or fur from that giant dog. If so, I may just be able to make a medicine after all!

When you're done exploring, meet me back at the Rescue Command Post.

I'm eager to get my hands on those cells... to make Oatchi's medicine, of course, eheh.

Indeed. I'll administer the medicine now.

Hmm... It appears to have no effect on Moss.

I can't help but think of those castaways we never had a chance to save...

I regret that we're leaving this planet with leaflings left uncured...

What a success! We rescued all the castaways and cured every last leafling!
We can go home without any regrets.

Well, the future of those we have yet to cure is weighing heavy on our minds.

If we are the Rescue Corps, shouldn't we be doing all we can to rescue every last leafling?

Oho! Are we sure this is even an Onion?

It's kinda rock colored, eheheh.

All these leaflings. Everywhere we go, there are more of them. I'm going to need to stock up on medicine.

As long as I'm stocked with medicine, curing them is the easy part, eheheh.

What a fruitful harvest!

From one glow sap I can make exactly one cure, eheheh.

No need to be entering caves at this hour.

Eek! That hazy stuff is dangerous!

Know a good base for night expeditions?
Or think you can find one?

We should explore this base again at night.

Use your Glow Seeds to grow Glow Pikmin!

Uh-oh. I think you made it mad.

Go collect the medicinal ingredient I need to cure the leafling. You'll need to harvest it from a Lumiknoll, which only appears at night.

Oh scrubs! We're all out of glow sap. Time for more exciting night expeditions, eheheh.

Tracking down Lumiknolls at night can be a little risky. Find and activate lots of bases during the day so we can use them at night.

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.

The giant dog's collar has some fur on it.
This should be enough to make a cure for
Oatchi. Maaaybe I'll create some completely new medicine while I'm at it, eheheh.

We have medicine in stock that can be used to cure the rescued leaflings. Come back to the
Rescue Command Post so we can commence the procedure, eheheh...

Ready for another night expedition, eh? Then you'll need to find more bases where you can safely land during the day. I suggest you scope out that big clearing in Sun-Speckled Terrace.

There it is, new blood. That is a Lumiknoll.

When dawn breaks, it will release an extract I'll use to make that medicine.

But if the Lumiknoll is destroyed, we won't harvest any extract at all.

All you need to do is protect the Lumiknoll until morning. Simple, right? Eheheh.

Well, well, now... What's this?

These little guys weren't here before.
Let's observe them and see what they do.

Look at that! It propagated more. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, new blood?

Yep, those little guys sure look like a new variety of Pikmin to me.

They're kind of glowing, so "Glow Pikmin" seems like an appropriate name.

Eheheh, they're rather fond of you, new blood.

That's perfect! You and these little guys can protect the Lumiknoll together.

That star-shaped fragment from earlier...
Let's call it a "glow pellet."

Try carrying those to the Lumiknoll to see if we can propagate more Glow Pikmin.

I leave it to you, then.

Eheheh, so there's something else I've figured out about the Glow Pikmin.

As you can see, Glow Pikmin emit a very powerful light.

You can use Xhold to gather your Glow
Pikmin until they meld together and form one large glowing ball.

Release them all at once, and it creates a luminous and literally stunning effect, which I call a "Glowmob"!

One flash of that overpowering light, and you will witness all kinds of creatures cowering under its dazzling glow, eheheh.

Heeey, new blood, can you hear me?

About tonight's location... You should find
2 Lumiknolls.

That's exciting, because if you protect them until morning, we can harvest 2 glow saps, eheheh.

My hypothesis is that the two Lumiknolls are connected underground.

What does that mean? Well, if 1 breaks, neither will release glow sap.

There's only one of you, so this might be a good time to take advantage of Oatchi's protection skills.

Remember the Glow Seeds you picked up the other night? I took the liberty of putting them in your pack.

Let me show you how to use them.

First, select a Glow Seed from your pack.

When you throw it, it will instantly create a Glow Pikmin.

Of course, they'll only work at night or in caves, so don't forget that, eheheh.

As creatures go, that's sure a strange one, isn't it?

Those eyes... I think it might be coming for the Lumiknoll!

Eheheh, it's about that time, new blood.

See how the creatures become more aggressive at night? They're drawn here by that irresistible glow.

Watch out, now! They'll come for the
Lumiknoll, so don't let them break it.

Ah! They're heading this way!

For now, collect glow pellets and propagate more Glow Pikmin to build up your protective forces.

The creatures will keep attacking until dawn, so do your best to take them out.

Aw scrubs! The Lumiknoll's broken.
Not much we can do now.

Well, that's a shame. You'll get it right next time, new blood.

Well done, new blood—you managed to protect the Lumiknoll.

Thank goodness! You protected it and held yourself together, eheheh.

Nicely done, new blood. Let's take the Glow Seeds back with us.

I'm impressed you defeated all those creatures! I wasn't even sure you'd survive the night.

Fantastic! There's not a single creature left standing...or skittering...or hopping...

I wonder how many Glow Seeds we'll get from this. Eheheh.

Aha! Glow pellets can be carried here too!

From the looks of it, this could be a juvenile form of a Lumiknoll.

If that's the case, then it's possible this could be connected to the Lumiknoll belowground.

Maybe it could serve as an interim drop point when transporting glow pellets from far away.

Additionally, it seems like it could act as a decoy for the creatures to help keep the
Lumiknoll safe.

It's small, but it shines quite brightly.
Why don't we call it a Tricknoll, eheheh.

We've got a problem! The Lumiknoll is under attack!

If it takes too much damage, we won't get the medicinal ingredients we need from it!

Get rid of those creatures, new blood!

My, my, what's this? Glow Pikmin turn into seeds?

Eheheh, I need to study this up close.
Please bring some back with you.

Aw scrubs! The Glow Pikmin can't help if they all get wiped out.

Oh, what have we here? More Glow Pikmin?

Well, keep an eye on them. You don't want them getting wiped out again, eheheh.

Eheheh, here it comes! Pay attention, new blood!

That is a condensed Lumiknoll extract. It's very high in degradative enzymes.

I believe we should call it glow sap.

It's a critical ingredient for the leafling cure. Gather it with care, new blood!

You put in the effort out there, new blood.

Eheheh, look at the color on that. I can't wait to make medicine with it.

Alright then, new blood, go collect that glow sap.

Eheheh, good work protecting the Lumiknoll.

Alright then, this is the moment!
Watch closely, now...

That is a condensed Lumiknoll extract. It's very high in degradative enzymes.

I believe we should call it glow sap.

It's a key ingredient for the medicine, so try not to drink it on the way back, Dingo.

Alright then, new blood, go harvest me some glow sap.

Eheheh, that's a lovely color. Can't wait to make some medicine with it.

At laaast I can make the medicine...and it's all thanks to new blood here.

I'll have the medicine formulated by morning. Just you wait and see, eheheh!

With this glow sap, I can concoct a medicine that's sure to cure the leaflings.

I'll have the medicine done by morning.
Until then, however, nobody comes near my lab.

At laaast I can make the medicine...and it's all thanks to new blood here.

I'll make the medicine. Yooou focus on recovering the leaflings, eheheh!

With this glow sap, I can concoct a medicine that's sure to cure the leaflings.

Yes, the medicine doesn't expire, so there's no need to rush, eheheh.

It's also because the Glow Pikmin took no notice of Dingo.

Oh my, you weren't able to harvest the glow sap, were you?

Oh my, you weren't able to harvest the glow sap, were you?

Eheheh, were you able to gather some
Glow Seeds? You can use them at night, of course, but they're also helpful in caves.

Yeah, you're a regular night owl, hmm?
Aren't you tired after all that hard work?

Yeees, yes, sleep is very important. That's my professional opinion, eheheh.

So, how was your first venture out onto this planet at night?

Eheheh, good, good!

Well, it has to be done if we're going to save our pilot. So hang in there.

Before you rescued me, I'd never seen a
Glow Pikmin myself.

I can only assume the Pikmin took a liking to you, new blood.

You two should get as much help from them as you can. You are helping them protect their Lumiknolls, after all.

Thooough, I'm not so sure you've got this
"night expedition" thing fully under control just yet...

Perhaps I'll go ahead and select the
Lumiknolls for you to retrieve glow sap from until you are, eheheh.

Eheheh, looks like you're getting the hang of these night expeditions.

I think you're ready. Next time you venture out, you can go wherever you would like to collect glow sap.

Eheheh, looks like you're getting the hang of these night expeditions.

I think you're ready. Next time you venture out, you can go wherever you would like to collect glow sap.

Wellll now, we can keep harvesting glow sap, can't we?

And look on the bright side...the leafling
I heal tomorrow might be Bernard.

I'll have the medicine ready by morning.
Until then, enjoy the suspense, eheheh!

Copy that, roger, ten-four, and so on.
I'll begin preparing the medicine right away.

Thanks to you two, I was able to prepare the medicine, eheheh.

Well then, everyone, get ready for an exciting morning.

Hey, nice job with the night expeditions.

Mmm-hmm, well, perhaps the Lumiknolls want to draw the creatures toward them.

On this world and others, there are creatures who simply don't grow—don't thrive—if they don't experience danger.

No matter how strange that sounds, it's quite possible Lumiknolls are like that.
They need to experience danger to thrive.

Hey, nice job with the night expeditions.

Eheh, you feeling a bit groggy right now?

Well, I'm the night-expedition guide, so it's
OK for you to get some sleep, Collin.

I see... Then please, why don't you try a special concoction of mine? I call it
"Tired-Be-Gone," eheheh.

Well, actually, science has yet to DISprove the existence of ghosts.

No, I wouldn't say that. But there is something that's been on my mind...

You ever noticed how the corpses left by the creatures during the day...are nowhere to be found during night expeditions?

Hey, new blood. Have you been using
Glow Seeds?

Well, please do. I want to know more about
Glow Pikmin, so try experimenting with the seeds a bunch for me, OK?

There are limits to what I can do being stuck here inside the S.S. Shepherd so much, you know?

No, no, of course not. You have nothing to worry about.

Besides, the Glow Pikmin are fiiine. Fire, ice, electricity—none of it bothers them... not even poisonous gas.

So really, I can't do anything unkind to them, eheheh.

My observations have led me to an important realization... Glow Pikmin cannot die.

Well, when a Glow Pikmin, eh, meets its demise...it turns into photons and returns to the Lumiknoll. Or so it seems.

What an incredible discovery!

Glow Pikmin...even when touched by fire or electricity...are fine! Completely unharmed!

Oh, that's not all, eheheh! Neither water nor poison bother them the least bit either!

Watch for creatures out there, new blood.

About the Glow Pikmin... You'll need more.

Protect that Lumiknoll with all you've got.

Gather a lot of Glow Pikmin.
It'll make protecting the Lumiknoll easier.

Frenzied creatures go for the Lumiknoll.

Don't forget about Glowmobs!
They're very effective against creatures!

Try using Tricknolls as lures, eheheh.

Have Oatchi help protect the Lumiknoll.

Use Glow Seeds to get more Glow Pikmin.

Got two Lumiknolls?
Split up to protect them both.

Defeat creatures before they're frenzied.
It's a good strategy, eh, new blood?

Don't mourn lost Glow Pikmin.
They go to the Lumiknoll as beads of light.

Morning can't come soon enough, can it?

Think you have enough Glow Pikmin?

Protect the Lumiknoll, new blood.

Gather the Glow Pikmin you need first.
Focus on protecting after that.

The creatures are starting to perk up.
You better protect the Lumiknoll, eheheh.

The Lumiknoll is under attack!
Don't let it get destroyed!

Hmm, look how it lit up, eheheh.

They're attacking a Tricknoll, new blood.

Looks like the Tricknoll was destroyed.

The night's nearly over.
You're almost there, new blood.

You lost a Glow Pikmin, new blood.

What's this? The Glow Pikmin are fine.

That's a sizable creature there.
Use a Glowmob with Xhold to stun it!

There are glow pellets in the water too?

You've gotta crush the source, new blood!
Otherwise, they'll just keep on coming.

Correct. Now we just need to find Yonny and Bernard.

Though we can't ignore the fact that the latter may now be a leafling.

While we search for the castaways, we'll expand our efforts to rescue the leaflings as well.

If we locate Yonny, he may find a way to cure the leaflings of their leafy state.

Keep up the good work, and get back out there. Rescue work is never done!

I'm just grateful I won't be needing any of
Yonny's medicine...

Don't be so pushy, Yonny.

You know how utterly terrifying those night expeditions can be. Which is why I will supply plenty of gear and items.

Yonny's back, Captain! Seems like we're making progress.

Well...that was the medicinal ingredient that Yonny was using in his experiments.

But we're dealing with more than a few leaves here. I can't tell who it is at all.

Where's Yonny? I'd like him to examine this leafling right away.

To recap, Captain—today we retrieved our ranger, Dingo, and our doctor, Yonny.

Where is Yonny? I haven't seen him yet.

Well...that was the medicinal ingredient that Yonny was using in his experiments.

Well...that was the medicinal ingredient that Yonny was using in his experiments.

Yonny! Do we have enough medicine in stock to administer the cure?

OK. We're counting on you, Yonny!

Um... What are you up to, Yonny?

You're not planning any new experiments now, are you? Yonny...

Speaking of medicine, we need it right away. Yonny, please hurry!

This castaway may be our pilot, but undoing his leafy state is beyond our expertise.

We need to rescue these leaflings, but without a doctor, there's not much else we can do. We need to find Yonny, stat!

Officers, to your stations, please!

That about sums it up, Yonny. Have any thoughts on this leaf-growing condition?

Aha! I knew Yonny would have something up his sleeve.

Now that we have a plan, let's hurry up and recover that leafling! Officers, to your stations, please!

You should be caught up on everything now, Yonny.

According to Dingo, this castaway may just be our pilot.

Hmm... I see.

Yonny, we're going to need you to examine this leafling for us.

Excellent. Thanks to Yonny, it sounds like we have a solution to our leafling dilemma.

Now, everyone, to your stations, please!

Yonny, can we use the medicine you created to cure Oatchi?

If Yonny's theory is correct, then Nelle may not have been turned to a leafling either.

The energy supply for the S.S. Shepherd continues to grow, and you've traversed even more of the planet. During your explorations, you located the missing doctor, Yonny. Only 1 Rescue Officer is still out there— the pilot. But has he been turned into a leafling?

Could the leafling you rescued be the pilot you've been searching for?
The only way to know for sure is to have Yonny examine them and, hopefully, come up with a way to cure their leafy condition.

According to Yonny, to cure the castaways with leaves growing out of their heads, he requires a special medicinal ingredient that is extracted from "Lumiknolls," which only appear at night. The risk is high, but you have no choice. You need to go on a night expedition!

Using the glow sap procured during your night expedition,
Yonny was able to cure the rescued leafling! However, the team's celebration was quickly cut short by the realization that the castaway they had cured wasn't the pilot after all.

Yes! We found another Rescue Officer!

Yonny is a talented doctor with a wealth of knowledge. With his skills, he can treat any injuries or illnesses that come our way.

That means the only Rescue Officer still missing is our pilot. Please, continue your search.

Alright! We found another Rescue Officer!

Yonny is a talented doctor with a wealth of knowledge. With his skills, he can treat any injuries or illnesses that come our way.

I'll bet he can even do something about the leafling castaways.

That means our pilot is the only one of us still missing. Please, continue your search.

Seems like there are an awful lot of leaflings out there to be rescued.
Yonny's got his work cut out for him.

It's in Yonny's hands now.

You rescued our doctor, Yonny! There's only one Rescue Officer left now. Go find our pilot!

You rescued our doctor, Yonny! That leaves our pilot, Bernard, who might be a leafling.
Prioritize finding and securing the leaflings!

You rescued our doctor, Yonny! Let's ask him to examine a leafling when he wakes up. Our pilot, Bernard, might be one after all.

The leafling you rescued could be our pilot.
Let's ask Yonny to examine them to see if they can be returned to their original form.

Fantastic work, everyone! We can use the cure to see if this is Captain Olimar. Let Yonny take it from here. You've earned some rest!

Yonny, your "professional opinion" won't mean much if you stay up who-knows-how- late with your nose in a book!

Yonny! You're not conducting experiments on the Glow Pikmin, are you?

We'll need some kind of medicine to cure the leaflings, right? Thankfully, Yonny is experienced with these sorts of things.

I believe Yonny is going to give us something of a primer about the
Lumiknoll!

Glow sap is the key medicinal element needed to create a cure for the leaflings.

Just talk to Yonny, and he'll get you all set up for a night expedition!

Apparently we'll need a special substance collected from Lumiknolls to make a medicine that can cure the leaflings.

You can only encounter Lumiknolls during night expeditions, so I suggest you talk to Yonny to hear more about it.

Yonny may be a laid-back kind of guy, but he's incredibly accomplished in the medical field.

Yonny may be a laid-back kind of guy, but he's incredibly accomplished in the medical field.

I should warn you in advance: be wary of
Yonny's health supplements.

Once, during an extremely tough mission, he gave me a "vitamin booster," and my toes swelled up three times their size!

Listening to him talk, you may not realize it, but Yonny's medical acumen is so good even Russ acknowledges he's a genius.

Yonny is an extremely avid reader, and his untiring spirit of academic curiosity is something to be admired.

The problem is...he prefers paper books to digital ones and has boxes upon boxes of them shipped to us every week back at HQ.

When Yonny is focused on concocting one of his new medicines, he forbids us from entering the ship's lab.

You wouldn't believe the sound of maniacal laughter that comes out of there. We just plug our ears and try to pay it no mind.

There's a limit to the amount of cargo a spaceship can carry. That means Rescue
Officers have to learn to travel light.

So imagine my surprise when Yonny tried to bring 27 shelves FULL of books. "Digital books," I told him. "That's an order!"
