You're not making sense, you're saying he both can and cannot use Chaos Control without an Emerald. Iizuka said "If he [Shadow the Hedgehog] doesn't have a Chaos Emerald, he cannot use Chaos Control" - there is no wiggle room in that statement for "Shadow can use Chaos Control to an extent without a Chaos Emerald" to be possible. He cannot use Chaos Control without an Emerald period. However he can use Chaos Control without physical possession of an Emerald if one is close enough to draw power from as I explained. The only thing we don't know the limit on is how far away an Emerald can be before Shadow can no longer draw power from it - although I am absolutely certain it is not "as long as a Chaos Emerald is on the planet." And your argument that "it would not make sense" because these powers are his and comparing them to the Sonic Boost is pure unfounded fan speculation that you cannot substantiate.

Bottom line, please provide a clear quoted reference of Shadow saying he does not need a Chaos Emerald for his Chaos Powers or we should have to saying nothing. Your Sonic Battle quotes do not cut it because there is no reference to any Chaos Power in them and there are alternate and easier to substantiate readings of them (dealing with overcoming his injury that is mentioned in the quotes). I still don't see your need to put words that have no reference there when saying he needs one for Chaos Control while staying nothing on the others could easily lead a reader to conclude exactly what you are arguing for anyway - seriously please explain why actively inserting this unreferenced info is so important to you when you essentially get what you want anyway.
