Team Rose first came together after Blaze met Amy, Cream, and Cheese on Mobius after traveling there in search of one of the missing Sol Emeralds. While the group was initially off to a rough start due to Amy's assumptions of Blaze being an enemy and Blaze's constant suspicions, they aligned anyway since the two were both allies of Sonic the Hedgehog and put faith in his judgement. Team Rose used Blaze's links to the Sol Emeralds and NICOLE to track the mystical gem to the Great Forest, where they encountered Rouge the Bat, who also volunteered to help locate the jewel. Rouge later proved treacherous when she stole the located Sol Emerald from a root cavern at the bottom of a ravine and then called in the rest of Team Dark to deal with Team Rose. (SU: #21)
