Cases

Investigation 1: The Book of Spirits

Status: COMPLETED

Jack Dinsdale, looking to secure $5,000,000 in funding for his new investigation team, is hired by Michael Sunnyside to raid the great archives of Soul Society's Shinigami Research Institute, the objective being to uncover information pertaining to the manipulation of Spirit Particles.

After gaining the location of a Senkai Gate from Furu L. Amoros, Dinsdale and his team breached the security of Soul Society and found the requested information, which Sunnyside put to use in his Project: PHOENIX. While in Soul Society, Dinsdale was forced to face and come to terms with the spectre of the love who abandoned him, who appeared as a thirteen-armed Asura. Sakura April confronted the spectre of her creator, and, in defeating her, finally learned that she had a soul, and broke her programming. Noriko received a premonition of her own death, but did not reveal this to anyone.

Having secured the funds, Dinsdale began construction on the Dinsdale Building and formally started his business.

Investigation 2: In Deadly Dream

The investigation crew was able to stop the scientist's plot, but he continues to lurk in the Dreamscape and the crew journeys there frequently to track him down.

Investigation 3: The Rat Pack

Status: ONGOING

The crew is hired by The Stabateur to find Legendary Pokemon Mew Two ostensibly so that the members of Stabateur's organization can "make peace with it."
