How do you get to the Perplexing Pool in Pikmin 2?

In the second region that you land in (Awakening Wood), you have to get the white Pikmin from the White Flower Garden. Once you get out of the cave, you must go to where the previous cave (Hole of Beasts) was. If you go in the opposite direction, there will be a gate with two poison gas vents guarding it. Therefore, you must use your white Pikmin to break down the gate. On the other side, there is a Creeping Chrysanthenum. After you kill it, you will find the other half of the globe from Emergence Cave. It takes the equivalent of 101 Pikmin to carry it, so you will need at least one purple Pikmin. A recommendation is having Super Spicy Sprays ready, since the globe takes a long time to carry. You will also want to build the bridge, which will make the process of carrying the globe much faster. Once the globe is taken in by the Ship, it will say that a new area has been discovered. After the day ends, on the world map, you should see a new area be charted on the map. That is the Perplexing Pool.
