Scenario IX - A Petrifying Situation

Pretty sure there wouldn't be any Pokemon to cry me back to life, so if I'm going to die either way, I'm going to watch a fun battle and take everyone else with me, thanks. If I saved the world they probably wouldn't even commission a statue for me, they'd just put my corpse on display somewhere and forget about it.

I'm not convinced that stepping in front of them would stop the fight, so no.

I agree with Porygon, I wouldn't believe that me stepping in front of them would save the world so I would probably look at an alternative way of stopping them.

I think the answer is in the question itself 'uncertainty of survival' & there's no guarantee that me doing that would stop the fight anyways. Also, do I have a true friend like Pikachu by my side who can cry me back to normal? Don't suppose so.

Instead of doing something rash like that, given that I'm the last hope, I'll certainly try to think of some other way to end the battle, maybe get my hands on a couple of Master Balls & catch them both.

Pika Pika :chu:

I'm a passivist. I am certain I'll be just a bystander doing nothing.

Ask other legendary pokemon to help...

I mean if that would help at all.

I'd just wait until they stop and call it a draw, they're so smart that they'll realise they're so even that neither would win and stop the fight before it's too late.

Live up to my username and throw myself in the middle of them. Hopefully my pal Pikachu and the other pokemon will bring me back to life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just bring some Dark types to slap some sense into them.

...What? This is Gen 1? Dark types didn't exist yet?

Alright then, plan B. Taking down these Legendary Pokemon with a Butterfee and a Beedrill. What could possibly go wrong?

Part of me would like to believe that if I'm probably going to die either way, I may as well play the hero card and hope that my actions can save the world.

...and then I realize that in all honesty, I'm just not that kind of person, and I'd let the situation play out and see what happens. If I've got the choice of a 100% chance of being alive for the next ten minutes vs. a ?% chance after sacrificing myself, you bet I'm going to take option A, and pray for Arceus to do its thing.

I will sit back an watch.Its not like if I step into the fight and die will they care?No they won't just another life lost.

If the world is at stake and there's no guarantee that getting in the way will stop them? But it might? I'd push someone else in the way. I'm not dying for a maybe, and there's a chance that the world won't be rendered completely uninhabitable, so I could be one of the survivors.

No. It's not in my nature - or anyone else's I think, no matter what they say - to sacrifice myself for someone else's benefit. People are inherently self-serving, and self-preservation comes first. There is no benefit in me killing myself for the sake of the world, so I wouldn't do it...and I seriously doubt the sincerity of anyone who says that would, too. All well and good to say you'd do it when you don't have to.

I dunno, there are more than enough real world examples of people sacrificing themselves for the good of others, so I'm sure that more than a few people would be willing to step between them.

A guaranteed chance at stopping the battle doesn't change my answer though, even though I'd like to say otherwise.

Punch Mewtwo in the back, say to them they are risking their lives and everyone else.

If the world is going to be destroyed anyways, I have nothing left to lose by intervening.
