This started out by me making an OC for someone else's story. I liked her so much, I decided I could make a pretty good story about her. Enjoy!

A young woman, in her thirties at least, stood outside the door to her daughter's bedroom. She watched the seven-year-old playing with a small and curious Misdreavus and laughed to herself every time the Pokémon appeared in different places and making the child laugh. The little girl turned to see her mother standing in the doorway. She hopped up and ran towards her as her beautiful long blond hair swished behind her. The dark blue eye that shown through her hair covering most of her face sparkled as she smiled at her mother.
"Hey, Mommy!" she called as her mother picked her up off the ground.
"Hey there, baby. Are you having fun with Misdreavus?" the woman asked brightly. The little girl smiled and nodded her head.
"Yeah, he kept on disappearing and appearing in different places. It was funny." She laughed. The little girl's laugh was bright yet sad at the same time. It was a beautiful laugh none the less, but it also broke your heart to hear it.
"Are you ready to go to school today?" the mother asked placing the little girl down and tying up her short dark brown hair. The little girl's smiling face changed to that of a horrified expression. At that moment, Misdreavus appeared by her soon-to-be trainer's side. The Pokémon's expression matched his trainer's also.
"M-mommy! No, please don't make me go!" she wailed. Her mother's expression firmed as she stared at her daughter.
"Mac, you're going to school. You need to learn about Pokémon before you can get your trainer card and be able to train Misdreavus. It wouldn't be fair to him. I don't care how shy you are, you are going to school in Jubilife City!" her mother stated and Mac hung her head. Her mother's face softened and she began to feel for her daughter.
"Bring Misdreavus and Murkrow with you. They'll help calm your spirit and scare off bullies." Mac looked up at her mother and smiled slightly.
"I'll go get ready." She said sadly. Her mother watched as her daughter pulled on a pair of dark washed jeans and a black t-shirt with a Duskull design on it. She walked out of her room and walked downstairs with Misdreavus following her. He was a very timid Pokémon and reminded the woman of her daughter. They were destined to become best friends and her mother would have it no other way.
"Crystal!" a voice resounded through the house. The woman (Crystal) walked down the stairs. At the base, there was a tall man with the dark blue eyes that matched Mac's and untamable black hair.
"Yes, Andrew?" Crystal asked sweetly. He smiled at her.
"I wanted to know if you were ready to leave yet. Mac is already in the car." Crystal nodded her head and followed her husband out of the house. In the car, Mac was cradling two pokéballs: one a luxury ball, the other a dusk ball. Crystal smiled and climbed into the passenger seat.
"You know, when Murkrow evolves, he'll be able to fly you all over the place." Crystal mused as her daughter's face brightened.
"That would be cool." She added. The trip from Sandgem to Jubilife was a long and silent one. When they reached the Trainer's School, Crystal and Andrew got out of the car to walk Mac in.
They had been a bit lenient on Mac's schooling. When she was five, the sent her to school, but she came home so terrified and upset that it broke their hearts. They decided to wait a year or two after that. Not too long after her first experience at school, she found Misdreavus hiding under their roof. Mac loved him immediately and he loved her just as fast. They became instant friends and Andrew gave Mac a luxury ball to keep him in. The two were inseparable and Crystal knew that together they would make the perfect team. At least a year later came the next addition to Mac's developing team. Murkrow was in an egg that Andrew had found. He gave it to Mac and said that she deserved another Pokémon for company. When in hatched, Mac and the Murkrow became friends also and she "caught" him in a dusk ball.
Mac's parents walked her inside the school and they met her teacher.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. McLennin. I am Miss Walters, Mac's teacher this year. I can't wait to have her added to my class and I just know we'll have a great year." Miss Walters smiled and Mac took a hesitant step back.
"Mac is a very timid child. She brought two Pokémon with her for comfort. One of them might stay out of its pokéball in case Mac needs him. I hope you don't mind." Crystal told the young teacher. She smiled brightly.
"Of course not. They'll be learning how to battle this year so it would be helpful if her Pokémon got to know the environment." Miss Walters leaned down to look at the terrified child.
"Come, now. Let's go to your classroom." Mac said bye to her parents and followed the young teacher at a distance. Misdreavus appeared out of his pokéball and Mac clung to him and pulled him to her chest. At the door to her classroom, she turned around. She waved sadly at her parents and walked inside.
