He's sealed inside Elise in the present and out fighting Silver and Blaze in the future, just like how Mephiles is in two places at once. I think both Mephiles and Iblis should be part of the future category, as it's pretty clear there are two versions of them in the game, with one being in the past and the other residing in the future. In a sense, Silver's future came about through the "present" becoming the "future", so in that sense, everything is the present.

I think that the future category should have pages that NATURALLY reside in the future (Silver being born in the future and Iblis/Mephiles surviving for 200+ years). So pages like Mephiles should be there but others like Sonic, Shadow, or Blaze shouldn't, since they time travelled to get to the future. What you are speaking of his speculation and assumption based on nothing but your own reasoning. I have told this before: if nothing conclusive can be drawn, then you should not give it defined terms. It's not speculation when it's abundantly clear that Iblis and Mephiles both have two forms of themselves in the game. Silver fights Iblis in the future, but when he returns to the past, Iblis is inside Elise. He later returns to the future and the future Iblis is sealed inside Blaze, yet Mephiles still manages to combine with Iblis since he gets the one who's inside Elise, in the past.

Likewise, with Mephiles, he's in the future with Silver, where he returns to the past alongside Silver and Blaze. At the same time, another Mephiles is broken out of the Scepter. Meanwhile, while one Mephiles is busy baiting Silver, the other is busy with Shadow. It's the same way how there's an Omega in the past and a beat-down unfunctioning one in the future.

Just stop for a second and ask yourself why Mephiles (the past one) would bother trying to get Shadow to join him when Mephiles (future) has no need for Shadow after gettign Mephiles? It's obvious that Past Mephiles has given up on Iblis, or is unaware of how to release it, so he resorts to teaming up with Shadow, while the future Mephiles is aware of how to do it and thus resorts to once again becoming Solaris.
