"Do you have any relation to Sableye!" asked the Magnezone in  robotic voice.

Pikachu was startled, "Uh? Yes! He and I made a deal."

"Good,"

Pikachu smiled, "Glad I could help!"

"Your under arrest! Soul Dew thief!" yelled Magnezone. Pikachu was once again startled.

"What? Me?" he yelled.

Magnezone threw Pikachu into the cold stoney jail cell. He locked the bars shut.

"Your not going anywhere for a long time Pikachu," said Magnezone.

The Investigation Society was surprised by the news that Pikachu had been arrested.

"But why?" asked Marill.

"Your friend was caught trying to steal the Soul Dew and run off with Sableye with it!" yelled Magnezone.

"But he didn't know what he was doing?" said Azumarill.

"We can't release him until we have full evidence. Sableye was found missing this morning," said a nearby Magnemite.

"What if we were to find Sableye. That should be evidence enough. We'll have him cough up answers and prove that Pikachu's innocent," said Torkoal.

"I guess you could. We'll join you," said Magnezone. Nobody wanted him to come along, but they all knew that he had to. It was the law after all. Magnezone stated that their first lead was somewhere around Apple Woods. The group that went was Snivy, Magnezone, Shedinja, and the entire Team Fairy Wind. They wanted Team Volt to come, but they were nowhere to be found. They walked along the peaceful road. The sun was shining high in the sky. Nobody was to be found in Apple Woods. The next lead led to Stony Cave. No luck there. The next lead said Sableye was at Dark Canyon. Nobody wanted to go there, but they all knew they had to. The group arrived at the foggy canyon. The canyon walls were dark green, almost black. The constant fog that shrouded the mystery dungeon made it hard to make way around the place. The group wandered around the dark canyon. They had no set direction. In a mystery dungeon, it iwas pretty difficult to go one direction. The place was basically a maze that went any direction it wanted to. Snivy stopped the group. Up ahead there was small chatter of voices. Snivy signaled the others to be quiet and to sneak on ahead. They slowly approached the voices. They stopped right behind a rock wall. Next, they jumped out from behind the walls ready to attack. The voices that they had heard earlier weren't actually any sort of thief. It was actually a group of lost and startled Pokémon.  The mission was a complete failure.

Pikachu paced around in his cell. Several other Pokémon growled in anger at him from the other cells. One of them was even the Murkrow gang that Pikachu had captured with Team Fairy about two months ago. He didn't know what to do. He had no evidence except for what he remembered, but his memory couldn't be seen or trusted anyway. Pikachu sat down on a wooden bed and sighed.

The group searched dungeon after dungeon. They didn't even find him in Sableye Cave. They slowly walked back to the Society building and arrived at noon. Magnezone left to find more places where Sableye might possibly be. The rest of the Society went back to normal work for the rest of the day.

"Oh Pikachu, your such an idiot," Azumarill said to herself.  Shedinja and Torkoal sat down at a table. They both looked depressed. Stealing the Soul Dew is a very big crime. It could result in either life in prison or even death.

Pikachu knew the results and wished that he had listened. He didn't know if it was rotting in jail for life or no life that worried him the most.

The next morning, Magnezone burst through the doors of the Society with a new lead. The group got ready to set off.

"Where's it at now?" asked Snivy.

"Sableye's own home!" said Magnezone. Magnezone led the group to Sableye's shack.

"We found a secret room underneath his shack. It leads into a mystery dungeon. We think he escaped down to hide," said Magnezone.

"Sounds good. Let's go then," said Whimsicott. They walked down the wooden creaky stairs into the dark dungeon. Magnezone lit the place up with his yellow electric glow. The group trailed along through the damp mossy dungeon. Small bugs crawled around on the ground. The group took slow heavy steps. Small sounds of whispers could be heard. It was as if they were being watched. They walked for about ten more minutes until they realized that Shedinja was gone. Ten more minutes later they saw that Klefki was gone. Next was Sylveon. Now the only Pokémon left were Magnezone, Snivy, and Whimsicott.

Pikachu spent another day wandering around his cell. A brick under him shook. Pikachu lifted it up and found a secret passage. He saw that the warden wasn't looking and dashed into the dungeon.

Magnezone, Snivy, and Whimsicott walked around somewhat paranoid. They didn't know who would be taken next.

Pikachu ran around the cold, damp, dark dungeon. The sounds of voices could be heard everywhere. Pikachu turned around a corner and ran straight into Snivy. Snivy grabbed him by the neck and began to strangle him.

"You idiot! Watch where your going! How did you escape your cell. Your already in enough trouble! Don't make it worse!" yelled Snivy.

"It doesn't look like your doing anything to get me out of my jail! So thought I could help myself!" said Pikachu.

"How'd you escape your cell!" yelled Magnezone. Pikachu and Magnezone stared at each other angrily. Snivy budded in.

"Hey! Where's Whimsicott!" said Snivy. They all looked around. Whimsicott was gone. A shadow dashed behind Pikachu. They all jumped.

A sinister voice came from the darkness, "So Pikachu, you decided to go back on our little deal eh? Well that's gonna cost you my friend!"

"Sableye?" asked Pikachu.

"Your correct. But it's not just your regular Sableye." said the voice. An ambush of Sableye jumped down from the roof of the cave and surrounded Snivy, Pikachu, and Whimsicott.

"It's an ambush!" yelled Snivy.

"It's also Mega Sableye!" yelled the sinister voice. Out from the darkness came not just your average Sableye. It was Mega Sableye!

"Like the upgrade?" asked Sableye. The other Sableye laughed.

"You wanna fight then?" asked Pikachu.

"That would be fine," said Sableye. He snapped his fingers. The Sableye grabbed Snivy and Magnezone. A couple more Sableye brought out the lost members. All of them were tied up.

"If you don't. I kill your friends!" said Sableye. Pikachu stared at him in anger. Sableye let out an evil laugh. He was delusional.

"Fine! I'll fight. Mega or not. I'm still gonna beat you!" yelled Pikachu. Sableye dashed forward with a shadow sneak attack. Pikachu jumped over him and followed up with iron tail. Sableye pulled out a crystal magenta shield that was practically a giant purple gem. Pikachu's attack had no effect so he then launched a thunderbolt attack. Sableye blocked it again and lauched another attack, snarl. Pikachu was hit dead on by it. He got up again and launched another thunderbolt. Sableye blocked it again. Sableye ran at Pikachu with a foul play attack. Pikachu was thrown back against the wall. Sableye laughed again. He began to charge up a dark pulse attack. Pikachu knew this one would knock him out. He needed a plan. Pikachu looked up. Sableye could only shield one area at a time. Pikachu launched a thunderbolt attack at the rock ceiling above Sableye. The rocks began to fall. Sableye held his shield above him. Pikachu launched himseld forward. He slammed Sableye with one last iron tail attack that knocked him out. The other Sableye scurried away at the sight of their master's defeat.  Pikachu untied the group. Magnezone rushed over and grabbed Sableye.

The next day at the Society Magnezone informed everyone by telling them that Sableye was locked up behind bars.

"Pikachu, I'm not pressing anymore charges. Just don't go stealing the Soul Dew again or you'll be spending life in jail with Sableye," said Magnezone. Pikachu promised not to do anything that stupid anymore. Snivy once again ignored Pikachu. She didn't like being topped, and Pikachu's epic victory over a Mega Sableye wasn't any help. The day went on as normal. Everyone went back to work. There was still the low threat of a mole in the Society though.
