An aggressive #Scyther blocked a tire shop. I lured it out with berries — then sunlight revealed it was shiny, its golden blades gleaming! I built it a tire shelter at home. Now Slash sparkles in peace.

A young #Dragonair washed ashore after a storm, weak and restless. With my Abra Sonya’s help, we calmed it and brought it to safety. Now Sèfiro rests in my pond, dreaming softly among the white lilies—until the wind calls it away again.

In a beach resort on the Adriatic Sea my friend Nick and I rescued a frightened #Caterpie during the trimming of the hedge it lived in by the seaside. We calmed it down with a cool, sugary drink, and then brought it home. Now Kamola lives peacefully among the wild vines in my little grove.

My friends Erik and Noemi got me one #Pinsir all the way from Japan! I picked her up from their Pokémon care center last week, and now she lives happily in my little grove. At night, she sleeps atop the willows, her gentle chirps like the purring of a giant cat, so, I named her Viola.

Today, with Elisa, we enjoyed a beautiful trip along the river, carried by Nilo, my #Lapras—whom she brought me from Egypt a few years ago. As we drifted, Nilo sang a soft, haunting tune, like a memory of distant waters and sunken ruins.

A few days ago, I visited an old friend—someone Wick, one of my #Charizard, is deeply fond of. He was the one who brought Wick to me after another trainer lost interest. As soon as we step into his training yard, Wick lights up, ready for a friendly match.

I entrusted Eggo with the task of motivating me to get some exercise, since I struggle to start on my own. Every day, using its psychic powers, it puts me in the right mindset to do at least 20 squats and 10 push-ups—making me feel the satisfaction more than the strain.

The other day, Erik and Noemi asked me to adopt an old #Kingler from their Pokémon daycare. Tenaglio used to crush old cars into cubes at the local scrapyard, until a hydraulic press replaced him. Now he just crushes naps in my pond.

Today I called Mario, a breeder specialized in Bug-type Pokémon. A swarm of #Beedrill had taken over my woods, and I didn’t know how to handle it. Calmly and skillfully, Mario guided them safely to his farm. I kept just one, Hony, to help pollinate my fruit trees.

Today I went to Noemi and Erik's Pokémon nursery and adopted Rapini. His former owner had to move to a city apartment with no garden and couldn't keep him anymore. Now he lives with Cico, my other #Oddish, who was enchanted by the fresh green color of his new friend.

I rescued Peocho during a countryside walk, trapped in a dried-up canal. His shell was tightly shut to keep his body from drying out. I brought him home and placed him in my pond. Since then, he filters the algae and keeps the water crystal clear.

The day my septic tank clogged, I met Morchia. He had dozed off in the filthiest place he could find. When the water started flowing again, he woke up and jammed the pipes. Now he lives in my compost bin—he’s a fantastic bio activator!

One day, Skizzo stood unusually still in the middle of the garden. Both heads stretched in opposite directions, as if bracing for an invisible attack. In truth, I had placed food and water in different corners. Stuck between the two, Skizzo perfectly embodied the paradox of #Buridan’s donkey. #Doduo

My friends Erik and Noemi called me about bent spoons and disrupted signals. After hours of searching, I had #Jigglypuff sing. We came back to find every #Pokémon asleep—and a #shiny #Kadabra napping on the fridge. Catching him with one Poké Ball was easy.

Brando showed up one day, tired and hungry, from who knows where. He had lost his stalk, so I gave him one from my garden. Too proud to accept it without a challenge, he insisted we play #tip-cat for it. Needless to say, he won easily. Now it's our favorite pastime.

Bobyno doesn’t need food—he feeds directly from the power cables in my home. Ours is a relationship of mutual support: I keep him charged with electricity, and in return, he powers the essential appliances during the frequent blackouts typical of the rural area we live in.

Today I was struggling to cut through a bramble hedge—my brushcutter wasn’t working properly. So I asked Fèra, my #Scyther, for help. In seconds she carved a clean path, and if I hadn’t stopped her, she would’ve sliced through the metal fence too.

Today I stopped by Erik and Noemi's Poké-daycare to pick up my Paras. He needed a restorative treatment because the parasitic mushroom was weakening him too much. They kept him for a month in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment to inhibit the fungus's growth.

Gnocco lives in a world of his own: a puddle is a tropical sea, a bush is a mysterious jungle, a gravel pile is a towering mountain. He spends his days playing without a care, often forgetting to eat. We all need to be a bit like him, every now and then.

When Brezzafiamma was born, his legs were a bit crooked, just like mine when I was a child. To help him, I started training him on the beach: trotting on the sand strengthened his legs, and now he runs as fast as the wind.

Rollo is one of my oldest Pokémon. I found him during a trip to Gran Paradiso in 1990, when I was 11. A ibex knocked him down a slope, and he rolled straight into my open backpack, right onto my snack.
