A/N:
AU-Humans have canon-Pokemons' powers, plus some more. AU-Pokemon have canon-Humans' powers, plus some more. Also, AU-Pokemon have most aspects of canon-Humans' civilizations. And yes, because I know someone somewhere will ask this, all Humans are naked and all Pokemon wear clothes.
I think I am squandering this idea a bit. If you have ideas for this fic, please let me know.

Platinum stared at the Professor. Deep breaths, deep breaths, stay calm, stay calm - wait, why couldn't she feel any oxygen in her lungs? Why couldn't she feel her lungs?
Platinum looked down at her body and blinked. Her body was covered in bandages? Obviously, if she needed bandages, then she wasn't dead. She blinked again.
Why was her vision so funny?
"I need to know who you are. Tell me in as much detail as you can."
Platinum looked at the Professor.
"Why?", she asked. At least, she tried to, but nothing came out.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners? You're a new ghost, aren't you? This must come as a shock to you. I'm a simple wandering spirit, a man who journeys in the company of the dead, and I believe I understand your problem. You are a new spirit, and cannot speak telepathically yet. No worries, no worries, you'll learn. Nod if you heard and understood all that."
Platinum nodded.
"Nod if you can feel your voice box."
Platinum did not nod.
"Okay, I see, you're fully telepathic now. You should be able to speak soon."
Platinum did not smile at this. In fact, she expressed no emotion. She could not feel her mouth.
"Well, then, I guess I shall tell you your task. In the meantime, let's go find Professor Pine."
She looked at him, confused. Wasn't he Professor Pine?
"It's... complicated."
a
Platinum was confused. She had no clue who she was, why she was, what she wanted, where she wanted to go, or how to get there. In other words, she was alive. Pine had said she was dead, though - that she was a ghost. She knew that she wasn't breathing , she knew that she was wrapped in bandages that she couldn't remove, she knew that she only had one eye, but she didn't feel dead. Perhaps if she tried to remember...
Platinum closed her eyes.
A shape. It forms, diamond-like yet not so, made of four to eight differently sized triangles that rise yet connect to themselves at any given time. It moves in a dimension that Platinum cannot identify, smaller yet larger than her vision can see. She senses an UnPresence, something that has a Reason for Being that she cannot identify. Why is it here? What is its purpose? She must ask. That is more important than her kingdom, more important than her lives. She must... identify... it... She has to know, she has to know, she has to
Platinum opened her eyes, and screamed.

I knocked on the Mistresses' house's door. She opened it and smiled at me. Was she trying to raise my friendship level so I could get to my third Evolution soon? Or perhaps she simply wanted to let me know she was in command. Or she was trying to be genuinely friendly to me.
No, it definitely wasn't the last one. If there was anything my old mentor had taught me, it was that pokemon were never friendly to Humans.
"So, you must have tired out, huh?"
"Psi!" Yes, I did. Unfortunately, I did not train much because I am focused on focused on finding a worthy member of the team.
"I guess you must be hungry, then." She brought out a bowl. "This is yours. It has 'Psi' written on it. See here?" She pointed at a set of marks on it.
"Psi!" I can't read, because nobody's taught me. If you did teach me, though, I'd be rather worried. That'd mean that my old teacher's training was failing.
"I'll go fill it. Hold on."

Pearl smiled. She was growing used to her Human. It was, in fact, somewhat adorable. Opening a bag, she took out some Vegetables. She had heard that they healed Humans and satisfied hunger.
As she walked from the kitchen to the house's entrance, she thought about her journey. She had thought it would be difficult to train and raise Humans. After all, they did have dangerous powers, and they were sentient.
Still, this was easier than she had expected. Her starter was nice and focused on training.
She opened the door. There he - the Dex had said it was a male, although she couldn't see the difference - was, lying on the porch, batting at his bowl as adorably as an Pre-evo could.
a
"Take that", I cried, smacking the bowl, thinking it was a foe. I had no clue why I thought it was alive, but I did. "And that!" I ripped my imaginary foe off the ground and threw it with all my force.
a
Peal just barely noticed the bowl flying at her head before it hit her.
"Owww..." Okay, so maybe training wouldn't be as easy as she had hoped.
"Psi!" The Human had come up to her with what she assumed was a concerned look on his face.
a
"NOOOOO!", I cried, realizing that my foe had hit my Mistress's face and disappeared. Somehow. "My Worthy Opponent, where are you? We'll never finish our duel now!"

Far away, on a different world, a young god was finishing up his preparations, sipping a cup of coffee as he did so. A (()) - (()) more, and his Reason for Being would be complete. So close, but he didn't want to mess it up. He couldn't, not with his Reason so close. He would have to test his invention, to make sure that it did not have any bugs. If it messed up after he started it, it might have to be recalled or destroyed.

Value returned. Set to variable x Temp Reason.

The young god awaited eagerly. He was so close, so close... Five, four, two, three - time was objective here, but not linear -
A bowl came flying out of the experiment, knocking him backward and removing the cup of coffee from his hands easily.
Oh, I understand!
Pause.
You ruined my java!
A Jewel falls from where the bowl once was.
What just happened?
Epsilon test completed.
The young god shook his head, time GODLY BEAM finally reaching a nearly horizontal linear asymptote for a time Unit Objective. The bowl broke apart before it hit his past self or his coffee's past self, all possible futures narrowing down to one before branching out again.
In one particular future, a Human appears in front of him, Teleporting in easily. They speak, and the god agrees to allow the Human to do
In another, a Machamp enters. It looks around curiously, and perhaps nervously.
In another, it is a Legendary that enters. It wants the Jewel.
In one reality, he is not surprised that the Jewel is gone. It was a construction of one possiblity, completely random, so it was infinitely unlikely to appear in any specific dimension while guaranteed to appear in an infinite many of them.
In another, however, he is. That Jewel was divine, and he did not know if it had been random or not. He assumed it was, but he had not examined the Bowl, and objective Time would not allow him to reexamine that point. It could have been existing before it entered this godly place.
An Eye watched the young god.

A/N:
I am going to stop now, and it is not just because I am confused. I kind of... lost the other half of this chapter. And most of this half was random last-second improv.
