Mareanie detected a pokemon. And she pointed at: A Pineco. Well that was interesting alright. "Hmm, definitely not what I expected. It is certainly interesting though, and training one would prove very well that I'm just as good or even better than him. Alright. I've decided. Let's begin the research"
Dokuro grabbed the pokeball that contains Salandit, holding it right in front of him, "Salandit, I'm counting on you" and lets her out. Salandit has finally been bonding with him, and he expected this would continue developing her growth into an outstanding pokemon.
But such action was not met without the Pineco noticing, and trying to keep his distance, taking some steps back slowly, trying to not alert Dokuro and his pokemon.
"Alright Salandit, don't let him get away and use
Ember and make sure you only hit the Pineco."
Salandit followed the command, jumping towards the Pineco, who instantly tried to run away, but with a quick sidestep she blocked him and scorched him with an Ember. The flames damaging the Pineco, but quickly disappearing after the impact. So far, no collateral damage was caused.
"Good job, Salandit. Now before he recovers from that use
Poison Gas!"
Salandit quickly followed up, but Pineco was already expecting further attacks, and used
Protect, avoiding being engulfed by the gas himself, and a short radius around him too, leaving a donut shaped ring of fouled plants. He gave a stern look to Salandit. It was no longer time to run away, he had to defend himself if he wanted to get away. He stayed there, quietly, checking the situation.
"Hmm, wonder what that Pineco is trying to do. Don't give him enough time Salandit, go and
Scratch away, wear him out before he runs"
Salandit followed order, rushing to the Pineco, but the Pineco jumped away to avoid the initial attack. Salandit continued, trying to not let the Pineco get time to recover and find a way to run, but the Pineco kept jumping away, until instead of jumping away, he jumped against the Salandit and
Tackled her, making her fall down to the ground.
"Salandit!" The Pineco didn't waste a moment, and attempted to run away right in that moment, but Salandit stood up again, and faster than the Pineco could run, she scratched him on the back, making him fall too. "Good work, Salandit, I'm glad you're ok" Salandit looked happy to hear that. "Now, let's see if--" While Dokuro was reaching for the ball to catch the Pineco, when he started glowing. The pokedex quickly alerted Dokuro, it was the move
Self Destruct. "Oh no" Without worrying about what ball to throw, Dokuro grabbed the first one his hand touched and threw it on the Pineco before it exploded in his last resort. It luckily landed on him just before the explosion went off.
"Oh Arceus, that was the scare of my life. Now, let's see what ball I used on... him..." Said Dokuro, just before he realized he threw a Love Ball. "Well, this is gonna be interesting."

Personality:
Pineco is a very serious buddy. He doesn't show many emotions, and doesn't really lets out much of his character. He is very courteous, treating everybody with respect, often very gentlemanly. Doesn't likes taking risks, analyzing the situations before acting, choosing to run or defend himself or his friends before attacking. He prefers to help his friends than getting help himself, and tends to be very loyal.
Around strangers he is very shy, and doesn't trusts any random person or pokemon that he meets, but with the ladies that he knows more tends to be a little flirty, sometimes trying to show off as a knight for them. He is a very honest pokemon, not liking to hide anything from the ones he trusts.
