Your first random shiny encounter

[Maddie]

My first, was in pokemon Y.
I was hella determined to find my first ever shiny.
At the time I was casually just randomly encountering pokemon in a safari and talking to one of my really good friends on skype, who persisted on telling me that I would never find a shiny.
Legitimately, 2 minutes later, I looked down to see a little sunburnt Helioptile on my screen.
My friend kinda just shut up from that point onward.
