The battle had been won. Dorian couldn't believe that he managed to conquer Moltres, and its chosen Avatar. Despite this, the flaming avian was still alive. Though with its body being pinned under the rocks and debris flung by the previously Mega Evolved Charizard, there was little it could do.

Perhaps it was desperation to survive. Perhaps the Legendary Pokemon had realized that in killing Fahran, Dorian proved himself a worthy successor. In any case, the Moltres reached out to Dorian, offering the murderous Rocket a pact. To side with Dorian, and Rocket, provide them with its power, in exchange for life.

The Mad Dog gleefully accepted the chance to become its next Avatar.

Upon receiving the blessing of Moltres, its command over fire, Dorian ordered his Charizard to free his patron from its tomb of rock. The winged lizard began to pull the rocks off of the body of the bird. Eventually, the Moltres got free. It would fly off to recover from its injuries, before returning to Dorian's side at a later time.

In the coming months, Dorian would concentrate on training with his newfound power. With each passing day, Dorian's dedication would prove fruitful, as he became proficient with his new powers.

Eventually, he'd be ready to turn them against the League, and anyone who stood in Rocket's path.

Upon completing training with Cillian Quinn, Dorian returned home. In order not to arouse suspicion, Dorian flew on the back of his Charizard, Flaming Lizzy. Upon landing, Dorian gave the flying lizard an affectionate scratch on the head, before recalling her.

"Daddy!", a familiar voice called out. A young boy rushed over to the man, arms outstretched. Dorian crouched down, catching the boy in his arms, picking him up, and lifting him skyward, before pulling him in for a warm hug.

"Demetrius! Daddy missed you!", Dorian told the boy, not wanting to let go.

A purple-haired woman walked out after them, wrapping her arms around the two. Dorian would take one arm, and wrap it around the woman's waist.

"Welcome home, bug.", the woman affectionately greeted him, before giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Mari, I'm so glad to be home. Glad to be with the two most important people of my life.", Dorian cooed at them, not wanting the hug to end.

Eventually, Dorian and his family walked back into the house. After eating the meal Mari had prepared for them, the three decided to watch a movie together. For the night, Dorian was no longer the Mad Dog that terrorized those who acted against Rocket. Tonight, he was the loving boyfriend, and doting father. A true family man, as he always wanted.

With Demetrius tucked into bed, Dorian turned to his girlfriend. The man smiled at her gently, walking out of the room with her.

The two of them began to kiss, Marionette pressing him up against the wall, their lips locking, their bodies pressed closely against one another.

As Marionette pulled away, a saliva trail formed a sagging bridge between their sets of lips. Eyes were locked longingly onto one another's.

"Oh Mari, there's somewhere I want to take you.", he told the lovely scientist.

"What about Demetrius, Bug?", Mari asked.

"Sir Fluffsworth Hotman will keep watch over him, won't you, big guy?", Dorian asked her, going over to affectionately scratch behind the ears of the fiery lion. The beast let out an affectionate growl, licking Dorian's hand.

"I promise, this will be quick.", he'd tell Mari, heading out the door with the love of his life.

Rather than driving, or walking, Dorian would sprout flaming wings from his back. One of the many boons of his partnership with Moltres. Gently taking Mari into his arms, he'd take flight.

The two lovebirds would enjoy the bird's eye view afforded by his new capacity for flight. Eventually, they'd land at a familiar location.

"So why'd you bring me here, Bug?", Mari inquired.

Dorian would get on one knee, pulling out a small box. "Oh Mari, will you marry me?", Dorian asked her.

Marionette was taken aback by the request. Dorian, for years, hesitated to ask, due to her own bad history with marriage. But Dorian had not been like the man she was previously stuck with. Even in their worst arguments, he'd never lay a hand on her, never try to hurt her. And he usually felt he had a good reason to argue with her.

Finally, Mari accepted tearfully. Dorian slid the ring onto her finger gingerly, before coming up, and wrapping his arms around her waist. As her arms wrapped around his neck, Dorian hoisted her up, embracing and kissing the love of his life.

It had been years since Dorian was this nervous.

Today, Dorian was dressed to the nines in a dapper black suit. Chu-e Choi stood at his side, his choice in best man. The Mad Dog waited in anticipation down the aisle. Today was the big day, the day where Marionette would finally be his wife. The day that they would officially become one big, happy family.

In attendance were the many loyal men and women Dorian had bonded with over the years. Takashi and Ogita sat in attendance. Among the guests of honor were the entirety of the Rocket Brass, including Cillian, Elizabeth, Theo, and Declan Walsh, as the guest of honor.

Finally, after what felt like an agonizing eternity of waiting, Marionette walked down the aisle, her father at her side. Dorian took in the sight of the beauty, the wedding dress being more breathtaking than he could've imagined.

As she stood next to Dorian, the Mad Dog gazed into her eyes lovingly.

After taking their vows, they were pronounced husband and wife. Dorian eagerly sealed the deal with a loving, passionate kiss.

Dorian would enjoy the day they had together. Though he never imagined that his life would end up like this, there was no doubt that he felt that he had achieved a good ending.

The ending where he, Marionette, and Demetrius, would stand atop the world.
