I was talking about what he said at the end when Emerl said how Shadow does not have a Chaos Emerald and Shadow said that he does not need it.

Shadow can use Chaos Control to an extent without a Chaos Emerald as we seen in both Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehoog 2006 that he was able to teleport short distances without a Chaos Emerald. He will usally need one when he is teleporting long distances and controling time and space. We do not know the limit of where Shadow can use Chaos Control with an Chaos Emerald without touching it though because from my understanding, it seems like you are saying as long as a Chaos Emerald is on the planet, then Shadow can use Chaos Control since he can use it without touching a Chaos Emerald.

It has only be offically stated that the only Chaos Powers that requires an Chaos Emerald to use is Chaos Control. And think about it, if Shadow needs a Chaos Emerald to use his Chaos Powers, then everybody can do it since people like Sonic has shown to use Chaos Control. Look at Sonic Generations in the Shadow Boss Fight, Shadow special power is Chaos Spear while Sonic is the Sonic Boost. Whta I am trying to say is that it would not make sense now for all of Shadow powers to be in a Chaos Emerald and without one, he will be just like Sonic.
