You see Knuckles the Guardian of the Master Emerald Knuckles: Hi I am Knuckles Guardian of the Master Emerald I watch over the Master Emerald and every living thing here. That is to say, all plants and animals. Any other kind of civilization is long since disappeared from the island. I do things on my own and that's just how I like it. I don't need anyone else to get by. But sometimes... I wonder how things would be if I hadn't been given this responsibility. Why was I chosen for this duty? Perhaps it's karma.. Anyways Why are you here? I wasn't expecting other people.
