Chapter 4: Tough as Knuckles. (Note that there are curse words even the f-bomb so that's why the rating is T)

In Mobius Sonic and his friends vs Dr. Eggman.

"Give us back the chaos emeralds and the Master emerald!" Knuckles demanded while fighting robots.

"Do you think he'll give them to us?" Shadow asked fighting robots.

"At least I care!" Knuckles yelled.

"At least I don't watch a stupid rock all day everyday!" Shadow yelled.

"The only thing to fight are these robots!" Amy shouted to them then her Piko-Piko hammer came out of her bracelet smashing the robots.

"Good thing that these robots are weak." As soon Knuckles said that a bigger and stronger robot.

"Fuck!" Shadow rushed then punched it but only got a broken hand.

"Let the powerhouse do the rest." Knuckles punched the robot over and over then it went out.

"Show off." Shadow thought while fighting more robots.

Amy wore a sleeve-less sweatshirt and dark blue sweatpants so it won't slow her down like her red dress in battles. Two hammers appeared in her hands to destroy the robots faster. Tails uses his inventions as Sonic was blazing through coming towards Eggman.

"Yo Baldy!" He called out.

"Stop calling me that! Metal attack!" The metal double came out of the shadows looking at Sonic with red glowing eyes.

"Another one? Come on Doc I trashed the others before so what make this special?" Sonic asked with a hint of annoyance. Then both Hedgehog and robot fight.

Meanwhile with the others, Shadow had his gun out but with his good hand broken he's sloppy at aiming. Knuckles was busy with the robots in front of him than beside him.

"Knuckles look out!" He shot the robot but almost hit Knuckles by a hair.

"What the hell?! You almost shot me!"

"I helped you didn't I?"

"Ya with sloppy aiming!"

"At least I think before charging at an enemy!"

"Guys stop fighting even little kids wouldn't act like this!" Tails said to break the fight.

"Listen to Tails. Knuckles you're 16 and Shadow you're um...the point is that we're teens now and need to act like them!" Amy said. Knuckles was about to say something but notices something off.

"Hey guys there are no more robots." Everyone looked around, Knux was right the robots were gone even the destroyed one were gone.

"Do you think we destroy all of them?" Tails guessed.

"Impossible. Eggman would never just "Ran out of robots" he's planning something." Shadow said watching the fight between Sonic and Metal.

"Let's go and get the emeralds before more robots appear." Everyone nodded then rushed for the emeralds as Sonic destroyed Metal.

"Just as I planned." When the others got near the chaos emeralds, Orbot pushed a button that a bright light appeared engulfed the Egg fleet with everyone.

Knuckles was falling and about to land a gym type building

"Why can't there be a world full of pillows to land?" He went through the roof landed in the dirt ground. He slowly got up just to hit the ground by his left leg burning. He looked to see it was opened with his blood staining the ground.

"Dammit. What's next?" As soon he said that, a growl came out of the shadows behind him. "Hello?" It came out to the light. It was large as the building, it was grey with blue strips on its wrists, tip of its tail, knees, and around its neck then on the back. It has horns on its knees, neck and on the head with a blue dome.

"A d-dinosaur?!" He knew he'll won't make it to the door with an injured leg so he dug underground. "Okay dinosaurs exist in this world just great!" The dinosaur smashes the ground with its head making a earthquake. Knuckles got out wanting to fight it. The dinosaur grabbed Knuckles with its small arms, Knuckles closed his eyes waiting for his death but the dinosaur just hugs him crying "Ram! Ramp!" "Um what?" He asked as the dinosaur puts him down. The front doors opened to a 15 year old boy with reddish hair, black rectangle glasses and wearing a conduction outfit with white gloves and a hard hat.

"Rampardos, did you saw something landed in the gym?" When he saw Knuckles everything was silent.

"Um...hello?" Knuckles asked breaking the silences. Later, Knuckles explained where he came from and everything to make the young man understand as he fixes Knuckles' leg.

"So let me get this straight. You with you're friends live in a world full of humans and talking animals. And you fight a fat man or he'll build his empire?" The young man asked confused.

"Yep." Knux responded with the young man have a very confused look. Rampardos sat with Knuckles with a gentle smile.

"Don't worried about him. He looks and fights tough but he's a sweetheart. I think when he saw you bleeding he wanted to help." The man said petting his Pokemon. "Anyways, my name is Roark." Roark greeted.

"The name is Knuckles." Both of them shake hands.

"So what do we do now?" Roark asked.

"Hm...well if I'm here then the rest is here so I need to find them even that emo hedgehog." Knuckles said.

"I think I could help you." When Roark said that Knuckles laughed.

"Look kid I do like some help but you're a human. The only humans that kind of help us are G.U.N even they're weak." Knuckles chuckled.

"Oh please. I went around this region with my two friends, stopped a terrorist group by our selves and-"

"Okay okay. You can help me."

"Yes! I haven't been in a adventure since I was with my two best friends!" Roark said with excitement.

"This kid must really love adventures." Knuckles thought with a smirk. Later Roark gave Knux a open light brown vest and a brown adventure hat. He explore the small town of "Oreburgh city". When he reached the mines he felt a very familiar feeling in him. "The master emerald!" He went down in the deep mines until he reached to the ends of the mine to see a shard of the master emerald on the ground. "If parts of the master emerald is here so that means that the chaos emeralds are here as well." Before he grab it he heard "Mankey!" before being punched to the ground. Knuckles looked up to a small light brown monkey with a pig nose.

"So you want to fight? Well *Gets up* let's get this over it!" Knuckles shouted. The monkey's arms turned red charging at him but Knuckles kicked it away.

"That was easy." He said to himself before grabbing the shard. He saw a bright blue light behind then heard "Prime!" then a powerful karate chop to his chest hitting a wall. He looked up to see a bigger and stronger version of the monkey. He remembered that Roark said that Pokemon can evolve to make them stronger. The primeape throw punches at him dodging most of them. Then he remember what Shadow said "At least I think before charging at a enemy!" that's it! This primeape doesn't think just punch. Knuckles dug underground leaving the monkey looking around. Knuckles jumped off the ground then uppercut it making it faint.

"I can't believe I took advise by that hedgehog." He was walking away with the shard until he heard the primeape crying. He rolled his eyes then walked to it.

"Okay what's the problem?" He asked. The monkey gave signs of height and pointing at the shard.

"Oh I get it. You evolved just to protect this shard right?" He guessed and the primpape nods with tears.

"You'll do anything to protect something. Just like me..." He had a flashback about when a being got the master emerald and it want to trade his gliding ability for the emerald. He of course said yes but after that he try to glide but remembers it's gone. He flashed back to reality to see the primeape still crying.

"Hey since you want to protect this then how about coming with me?" He asked. The primeape looked at him then nodded. They got out of the mines and heading to the gym where Roark is. When Roark saw Primeape he freaked out then hide behind Rampardos.

"Hey do you mind if it stay with us?" Knuckles asked.

"N-No I-I don't mind Knuckles." Roark said with a shaky voice. He had a fear of Primeapes and it started in Maylene's gym for his friend's gym battle. He was battling challenger when Rampardos was a Cranidos, when the challenger's Primeape was going for Cranidos but missed and punched Roark in the face to a wall.

"Yep don't m-mind it at all." Roark said rubbing the spot that the Primeape punched at. A few days passed, Knuckles and Primeape found most of the shards in the town. One day a wild tauros ran over everything that comes it's way.

"Rampardos use head smash!" Roark commanded.

"Ram!" The dome lit up charging on Tauros. Tauros charged at Rampardos knocked it away.

"It had to be giga impact!" Roark shouted. Tauros looked at Roark charging at him.

"Oh man!" Then Primeape karate chop the bull in the neck making it collapse on the ground.

"Hey Roark are you alright?" Knuckles asked.

"Yes thanks." The Tauros saw Knuckles then its eyes turned red charging to him. Knuckles looked at his fur.

"I had to be red!" Primeape try to stop it but got knocked away.

"Arin use aura sphere!" A yellow energy ball hits Tauros on the side stopping it. They looked to see Haley with her Lucario and Barry with his heracross out.

"Haley, Barry?!" Roark called out.

"Yo dude how are you?" Haley asked with a wink. Tauros got up more angry

"Kirlia use magical leaf!" Leaves hits the bull on the chest.

"Use brick break!" Barry commanded as Heracross's horn turn red then hits the bull's legs falling to its side. A spin dash hits the Tauros in the gut spitting out a purple gem. Tauros got up calm walking away.

"Hey Knux long time no see." Sonic greeted with Tails.

"Hey guys." Knuckles said with a smirk.

"Hey Roark nice to see you again." Haley said hugging him.

"Yep three months passed by eh?" Roark said hugging back.

"So this is Haley that Roark was talking about. I'm Knuckles." Knuckles greeted.

"Yep nice to meet one of Sonic and Tails' friends." Haley said shaking hands with Knuckles. Kirlia rushed to them with a purple gem in her hands.

"Alright four more to go!" Barry said while Haley puts in her backpack.

"You already found three? Very impressing." Knuckles comment.

"How about you three come with us? Like old times Roark." Haley said to Roark, Knuckles, and Primeape.

"Of course!"

"Yep since I need to find the other shards."

"Prime!"

"Alright team Sonic let's go!" Sonic shouted.

"Team Sonic? What gives you the right to name this team after you?" Knuckles complain.

"Just because Knucklehead." Sonic smirked.

"Yep just like old times." Tails said while the hedgehog and Echidna fighting.
