Flash kicks Shadow before Shadow can think to do either. Then he circles the globe to build up speed and punches Shadow into orbit. And stop bringing up Chaos Control. Does Shadow have the emeralds at any normal time? If he does, Flash was running around the globe just for fun at the time and punches Shadow into orbit even faster.
You fail to realize just how much faster Flash is. And how the fact that you can see Shadow's attacks make them very very easily dodgeable.
