Who's got some good shiny stories?

My first every shiny find was a shiny Roselia that I thought was a glitch. After being cought I had to rush to the computer to find out what happend. I was on so long trying to find something when I came off a page all about shiny Pokemon. I was researching for hours and without realizing my game was still on after the catch. My GBA died and my first shiny was lost. If it wasn't for it I would have never known about shiny Pokemon back in the days or Ruby and Sapphire
