Oatchi

==Summary==
Oatchi is a Rescue Pup who is a primary supporting character in Pikmin 4. He is adopted from the planet Giya and is under the ownership of the Rescue Corps' captain: Shepherd. Oatchi is one of an elite breed of space dogs that's long served the Shepherd family. After the Rescue Corps crash-landed on PNF-404, the player would be sent to rescue the members of the Rescue Corps, where they would first meet Oatchi. Together, the player, along with Oatchi and the Pikmin they encounter, would set off to rescue the Rescue Corps and various castaways in search of Olimar.
