Hocotate Freight sells Olimar's ship to pay for the debt while he is away, but still leaving them with a debt of 10,100 [[Poko]]s to repay. | ||

Dolphin]], being sold: it is confiscated as he arrives. In shock, Olimar drops the bottle cap he has been holding, which was meant as a souvenir for his son, rolls to the ground, causing the sensors of an old ship behind the President to go wild. The [[Hocotate ship]] proceeds to announce that the bottle cap is worth 100 [[Poko]]s, after which the President orders Olimar to go back to the Pikmin planet with [[Louie]] to find enough [[treasure]] to cover the now 10,000-Poko debt. | ||
With the debt repaid, the Hocotate ship is painted in a gold-colored material, and the President replaces Louie on the adventure to find the remaining treasures. Over time, the company starts turning around thanks to the President's wife,{{cite quote|It may interest you to know I've somehow been able to begin turning the company around in your absence.
