alright so once upon a time, a long time ago in a not so far off place (generally speaking) a little girl caught a pink caterpie on pokemon crystal. my was she excited. but unfortunately, she caught it during one of those contests and it was a very week pokemon. so she traded it in for lvl 14 scyther instead. a few years later, she looks on the internet to find out that a pink caterpie is a SHINY POKEMON, having the chance of about 1 in 8000 chances of catching it. to this very day, she feels liek a loser :[
THE END
