Story Time:

Once a long time ago their was a peculiar charmander. For while most charmanders prefer warmer temperatures this charmander spent most of his time among groudon inside a volcano.

Because of this charmander's time spent in the heat of the volcano it turned a golden color. It retained this golden color even after evolving into a charmeleon.

After evolving it started to spend more time at the top of the volcano where the ashes lay. But no matter how much it rolled around in the volcano's ashes it stayed the same golden color.

But once it evolved it became black like the ashes of the volcano. Once it was discovered it quickly became famous for it's incredible coloring. Soon trainer's all over the world were trying to breed charmanders to get their own black charizard. But very few of their attempts succeeded.

This is the story of the first shiny charmander.
