Chapter 10
I was currently walking around Knothole, trying to find Sonic and ask him to train me.
Yesterday, Espio told me that I'd need Sonic to help with me with my stamina and Knuckles to help me with my strength. I decided that today I'd hang with Sonic, and tomorrow I'd hang with Knuckles.
I asked people around if they've seen Sonic anywhere but they all told me that they saw him at one point and that was it(It shouldn't be too surprising considering Sonic is constantly running. And if he's not running, he's not staying in the same place wrong or he's napping).
(Man where's Sonic? He's the fastest thing alive so there's no telling where he could be or how long he's gonna be there)I thought to myself.
"Hey Calvin." I heard a voice behind me say. I looked back to see that it was Sonic. Jeez Sonic, where'd you come from?!" I asked surprised. "Oh I was just having my runs through Knothole. I started getting word that you've been looking for me. So I thought I'd find you first and see what's up." Sonic explained.
"Oh, okay." I said.
"So Sonic, you know how yesterday I trained with Espio over at Green Hill Zone right?" I said. "Yeah, Tails told me that from Espio's observation: You did pretty good." Sonic said. "Thanks, coming from you, that actually means a lot." I said in gratefulness. "No problem, so what did you want to see me for?" Sonic asked. "I wanted to ask if you could help me better my stamina. Since you're the fastest person I know, I figured who better to ask for help than you." I said.
"Yeah, I am the fastest person on Mobius, if not the universe." Sonic said boastfully.
I chuckled at his boasting.
"Yeah, so will you help me?" I asked. "Of course I'll help you. You're one of my friends, and I always help my friends." Sonic said while giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks Sonic, I really appreciate it." I said. "Sure." Sonic said. "So where are we train?" I asked. "Hm, how about the forest. Saves us the trouble of going somewhere far, right." Sonic said as he started walking. "Right." I said as I followed him.
After some time of walking, we made it to the forest.
"Alright Calvin, here's how we're gonna do this..." Sonic started. "I'm just gonna run and you're gonna keep up with me. Slowly I'll pick up the pace but I won't go at full speed. All you have to do is keep up as best as you can. Simple as that!" Sonic explained.
"Okay!" I said. "Alright, then let's go!" Sonic exclaimed as he started running into the forest. I followed after him to begin my training.
My pace was going pretty steady with Sonic, and he noticed it too. He increased his speed, causing me to use more of my stamina. Thanks to my original training with Espio, I wasn't slacking off that much. "Not bad Calvin, I can already see that training with Espio benefited you pretty well." Sonic complimented. "Thanks." I said, grateful for the compliment. "Keep this up and you'll pass training with flying colors." Sonic said.
"Thanks Sonic." I said.
We continued running through the forest for the rest of the day.
When our training ended, me and Sonic got a bite to eat. I got a hamburger while Sonic got a chili dog(Of course).
"Ah, nothing like a chili dog to satisfy my stomach." Sonic said. "It's practically the only thing you ever eat as far as I know." I joked. "Ha, true." Sonic agreed.
"So how did I do?" I asked while taking a bite from my burger. "You surprised me! I didn't think you were that fast. I'm proud of ya Calvin." Sonic said. "All thanks to you and the others." I admitted. "I'm sure Espio will be happy to know that you passed your training with me." Sonic said. "No doubt." I agreed.
After we finished eating, we both decided to head home.
"Alright Calvin, see ya later." Sonic said. "See ya Sonic." I said before he ran full speed back home.
I then walked back home for some rest.
The day went better than I could've imagined.
I spent the entire day with the legendary Sonic the Hedgehog(Who is my most favorite video game character of all time). (I can't wait to hang out with Sonic again)I thought to myself as I continued walking to Cream and Vanilla's house.
