It happened on a fine day, late afternoon on Angel Island.
In the middle of the jungle, where huge trees and mosses grow, Knuckles is digging around with a serious expression, looking for something.
It was then when Sonic suddenly jumped on Knuckles's head.
"Hey, Knuckles! What are you doing?"
"Sonic! What's the big idea?!"
Sonic caught Knuckles, who was hurriedly diving into the ground, and tried to greet him, but when he saw Knuckles's serious reaction, he couldn't help but want to tease him.
"I mean, if you see a mole going in and out of its hole, wouldn't you want to whack it?"
"What'd you say?!"
Sonic dodges Knuckles, who jumps at him, just in the nick of time. The slapstick, where you can't tell if it's a fight or a chase, continues for a while…
"…I've called out to you many times, but you're the one who didn't notice."
"Shut it. Man, you're still the same jerk I've always known."
After they were both exhausted and had finally caught their breath, Knuckles started to tell him about a dream he had this morning.
A dream of his distant ancestors wearing ancient tribal garments.
"As a descendant of the Knuckles clan, we have something for you. Search the jungle," they said.
"I can't describe it, but I definitely sense something around here… I know it."
Knuckles looks around with a docile expression on his face.
His interest as a treasure hunter, as well as his sentimentality as the last of the Knuckles clan, made him look more serious than ever.
"OK, that sounds interesting. I'll help you find that treasure! …We're chums, aren't we?"
"What're you on about? Don't act so buddy-buddy. Get off my island!"
…As he said that, Knuckles raises his fists and the chase begins all over again, but Sonic dodges and trips over something and falls.
"Oww…!"
