Shinies?

[Riestal]

I've got a story about shinies =D

So, imagine my surprise, as a kid who has played since R/B came out and only found his first (Non-Gyarados) shiny in DIAMOND, when I take a few steps into Oreburgh Cave and BAM! Shiny Geodude. Well, surely, I caught it with absolute care. For bragging rights, I showed my brother my golden Geodude, and he immediately flips out. "HOW COME YOU GET A SHINY?! WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?!" I told him where it was, and I laughed as he frantically grabs his DS and starts up his game, running from his current location in Eterna City(he didn't have fly yet) all the way to Oreburgh Cave. He had such a determined look in his eyes, and it only made me laugh, because he honestly thought he was going to get a shiny from going there.

Sure enough. He found the shiny Geodude. ON THE SAME TILE THAT I DID. Same level, same gender, same NATURE. I couldn't believe it, I mean, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than that... Our shiny Golems sit in our boxes to this day, looking pretty and golden =) And they're the same level too!

That's amazing! Twin golems and shiny too.

First shiny I got was a steelix while level grinding in Plat. The other is the standard shiny zubat. Got it while running through the Ilex forest. Nearly killed it because the thought process went along the lines of- "Oh it's in a forest, that's why it's green-OH GOD CATCH IT CATCH IT."

The dream is to get a shiny umbreon so it can be called TRONbreon. Or a manectric/electivire because I do love them. ;w;

The silliest I think would be getting a shiny gyrados because nobody is going to believe that it isn't from Lake of Rage.

I've got three non-event shinies at the moment, all were bred from at least one parent with good IVs: an Adamant Scizor, a Lax Tyranitar, and and an Adamant Rhyperior (with Lightning Rod! WHY!?).
