One man's 5 year quest to capture a Shiny Mewtwo

Have you ever encountered a shiny Pokemon in any of the Pokemon games? I'm talking about an honest-to-goodness random appearance by a shiny Pokemon. Most of you will probably answer 'no' to that, and that's no surprise. If you're looking to capture a shiny Pokemon without cheating, you could end up spending years trying to make it happen. Believe it or not, that's just what one man did. He spent 5 long years trying to capture a shiny Mewtwo. Did his quest end in success or failure?
