Because, in the game, they blew out the flame that would become Solaris so that it never existed, then all of the events in the game were erased, since basically every character's story had something to do with Solaris. So Sonic and Elise never met, Silver never came to the past, Eggman didn't ruin the festeval, and nothing in the game happened. Except the ending.
