The invasion and takeover of Slateport had been something of a Phyrric victory. Despite the fact that they now had control of the city, the generator powering the city had been destroyed during the invasion, and the Shipyard had been ruined. Time and resources would have to be spent in getting the city back in working order. As for the Mad Dog, he was stuck flushing pests out of their holes back in Kanto, before they could become a problem.

While Dorian didn't have the chance to participate in the carnage, something the scarred man was still bitter about, there was a silver lining. One of his boys managed to come across a high class bar, before the place could be pillaged by any random Rockets looking to get drunk in celebration to their victory. Those loyal to the Mad Dog that were able to participate in the Invasion kept the place relatively ready for Dorian's arrival, preserving what didn't need power, while taking care of what would perish without power.

With the Mad Dog's arrival, Dorian decided it was the best time to meet up with Silas, to get a debrief on the situation in Hoenn, to report his success at crippling the Kanto Rebel faction, and to take heat for his late arrival. He knew that despite his success, Silas wasn't happy about how the Invasion turned out, and was probably angry at Dorian for his late arrival. No matter how good his reasoning was, Silas had every right to be angry, especially with only one Beast at his beck and call during the Invasion itself, instead of all four, as it should've been.

When Silas would walk into the surprisingly well kept bar, illuminated with portable LED lamps, he would find the Mad Dog sitting at one of the stools at the bar, and behind the bar was one of his followers, waiting to serve the two drinks, should Silas wish to indulge.

not all is lost to the invasion: a bar remains open, untouched by the destruction enacted by the ruthlessness of his forces. he doesn't normally drink but victory is cause for celebration, so maybe he'll compromise just this once.

"you're late." 

there are no excuses when it comes to the rocket boss. he sees it as a sign of weakness; as a sign of incompetence and that's the thing he despises. if the mad dog himself was late then there must have been a good cause for it. 

he'll hear him out. he slides onto the open stool as his eyes carefully watch the bartender. unfamiliar faces make him uneasy even if they're trusted by one of his beasts.

"five minutes to explain yourself. use the time wisely."

As expected, Silas wasn't pleased with the fact that he was late. But rather than doling out the punishment immediately, Silas would instead sit on the stool. The bartender sees the boss' expression. "Boss, if you wish, I can leave the two of you alone to talk in private.", the bartender would offer to Silas, bowing his head to him respectfully. What he would do next would depend on Silas' answer.

Dorian would pull out a pack of cigarettes, extending the first one out to his boss, offering it to him. If Silas were to notice the brand on the pack, he would notice that it was a higher quality brand of cigarettes. Should he accept, Dorian would pull out his lighter, offering to light the cigarette with the same respectful gesture that he was taught to use when he first joined Team Rocket, one that he now only offered to equals or superiors.

Whatever Silas decided to do, Dorian would light a cigarette of his own, taking in the familiar taste for a moment, being careful not to blow smoke in the face of the boss.

"A group of rebels in the Kanto Region, remnants of the Kanto League, and some particularly strong trainers, had been causing trouble across the Region. Operations were being disrupted, Grunts being found dead and left on display in high traffic areas, they even managed to kill an Admin, those fiends!", Dorian started. With another drag of his cigarette, he would continue. "So I took it upon myself to deal with these pests. As it turned out, these troublemakers were working hand in hand with ninja's from Fuchsia City, being lead by the daughter of their former Gym Leader, out to avenge her old man!", he would continue.

"While rounding them up was far from a simple task, given the nature of their training, and what they had been passing along to other elements of the remnants. They even had spies installed within our ranks, the nerve! After flushing out the spites, however, we managed to successfully locate their leadership, as well as other high ranking members of this group, either capture or kill them, and for those we did manage to take alive, we made an example out of them!", Dorian would explain to his master, a particular grin forming on his face upon uttering those last words.

Silas knew how Dorian liked to make examples of people, by burning them alive in particularly nightmarish and gruesome ways. Knowing him, Dorian would've had the rebels who were captured alive, including the spies within their ranks, burned alive publicly, as a warning to anyone else who thought it was a good idea to cross Team Rocket. The daughter of Fushia's former Gym Leader's fate in particular would've been grisly, something far less dignified than what her father got in battle, Dorian made sure of it.

In any case, Dorian was ready to receive his punishment for his tardiness.

one glance at the bartender is all that's needed to convey his message: he wants them to be left alone. matters need to be discussed that do not concern a lowly bartender; he waits until the man's out of earshot before continuing.

nicotine is unfamiliar yet welcomed because he needs something strong to soothe the rage these fucking idiots build up inside of him. dorian provides the fire in more than one ways. once the cigarette is lit, he brings it to his mouth and takes a long drag.

smoke is exhaled.

"hmm." 

that's all he'll say on the matter as he listens and at the end of it, he remains speechless because he's not too sure how to respond. or even if he needs to respond because from what he understands, the situation's taken care of. and compared to , it sounds like a valid excuse.

perhaps not all of his subordinates are idiots.

"show me the pictures." 

he orders because he knows the mad dog is one to record his killings. he takes another drag and shifts in his seat so he doesn't have to angle his head awkwardly at the beast.

The bartender would quietly retreat into the back, waiting for Dorian to call him back out when the two were done talking.

As Silas would order the Mad Dog to show him pictures, the Beast's face practically lit up. "With pleasure, boss!", Dorian responded eagerly, fishing out a photo book from the bag at the foot of his stool. Dorian would quickly flip to the section containing various photos of what remained of the Kanto Rebels. The first photos were those who went down fighting, with their fatal wounds being documented by the photo, before the next photos would consist of their corpses being burned.

The next page of photos would involve each of the live captures, all of them bound in stress positions that made it hard, if not impossible, for escape, even with their training. They were all put on display for the horrified citizens of Saffron City to see, what was seemingly their last hope of being free from Rocket had not only been quashed, but was now being put on display for them to see. Evidence of torture was present on the visible parts of their bodies, including their faces.

What those people saw that day was just another reminder that the villains had won.

The next set of photos would be the captured rebels being burnt alive in front of the mortified citizens of Saffron City. Despite their looks of utter disgust, it was clear that such a display had been a vicious blow to their morale. The photos of Fuchsia City Ninja leader in particular displayed an especially gruesome manner with which they executed her. They would stack gasoline-filled tired around her, ending up to her neck, with her head sticking out from the top of the stack, before lighting it on fire, slowly burning the trapped girl to death in an especially heinous manner.

In any case, the burnt up husks of his victims were left on display in the middle of various towns and cities in Kanto, with an emphasis being left on Fuchsia City, as well as Saffron City, the two locations where the most important figures in this rag-tag bunch of misfits originated from.

"And if you'd like to indulge further, I've had video taken of these executions, as well as the torture sessions.", he would offer with a grin. Of course, like the photos he had taken, the equipment he used was older equipment, from before the big companies started to give every little gadget a connection to the internet, and thus, a means to spy on those who bought that technology, whether it was for the League, or for their own greedy ends.
