Pikmin are curious creatures. Normally, they wait for a signal from their Leader to act, but they want to make a surprise for Olimar when he returns to their planet. Thus a group of Red, Yellow and Blue Pikmin head for the round object they discovered a short while ago. Brown in color, it seems well preserved. The Pikmin managed to carry it back to their Mothers (the Onions). Happy to have succeeded, they waited for their Leader to return.
A month later, Olimar's ship lands on PNF-404. The Pikmin are happy to see him again. But he's not alone. Louie is with him. When the Pikmin show him the surprise, Olimar is surprised and takes notes. The Pikmin are disappointed. They expected their Leader to be happy. Olimar was happy, but he didn't show it. He was also angry that "his Pikmin" had risked so much to fetch the surprise.
Louie, for his part, observes the round object, tears off a piece and eats it.
"Ohhhh, it's sweet and delicious! Olimar, we must have it analyzed back at the ship without further delay!"
"Do as you like."
Louie releases "his Pikmin" from the Onions, blows a whistle and they take the dessert back to the ship. The analysis was quick. It was a chocolate Timbit.
"Ohhhh!" Said Louie, his eyes full of stars. "There are other flavors... I must have them all!"
"You can't be serious." Olimar retorts. "We don't have time for..."
"I have to taste them all! Pikmin, let's go!"
And so, much to Olimar's despair, Louie embarks on the great quest for Timbits.
