Shadow Fire

Sometime later, Professor Elm had just finished some reports, looking up to see Ethan come towards him. "Oh!" he exclaimed. "Hello, Ethan. What can I do for you?"

Moments later, his vision returned to normal, the former trainer blinking. "I felt his presence..." he mumbled. "If only for a moment..."

Silver walked around the new location with the smaller Totodile leading. A slight smile came to his jaws. He reminds me of a smaller version of Snappy... Suddenly, he stopped, his vision showing a different area altogether. It seemed familiar to him, but at the same time, he didn't recall ever seeing such a place. ----- Back in Johto, a nearby television suddenly broadcast an advertisement. "The Unova Region! A faraway land filled with strange and wondrous Pokemon! A great holiday destination, or even a new home! Come to Unova today!" While the announcement played, videos of the various places in Unova showed on screen, the final image being a beautiful forest.

One of the bus' windows.

I'll translate it when I get home. You perfectly transcribed it. The translation is somewhere along the lines of: "F-ZERO X" disc can not be played. Please have NINTENDO64 software "F-ZERO X" cassette properly inserted before turning on the power.

The smaller Totodile walked over to Silver, before giving him a hug. "You'll find who you're looking for..." he said. "I'm sure you will. I'll help you! We should go see if anyone's seen your friend." Silver nodded, casting one more glance up at the sky. Ethan... I hope you haven't forgotten about me... I also hope... we can find each other again.

Shadow snuggled closer, wrapping his arms around his beloved, before falling asleep. ----- Meanwhile, our heroic blue hedgehog was sitting at the base of a tree, glancing at a Chaos Emerald. Its colour has faded... I wonder what's going on...

Shadow gave a slight grin. "Yeah..." he agreed. "He doesn't bother me. In fact, most children don't. I think it's because of Maria. Anyway, mister... let's get to bed, okay?" Lifting the former chao into his arms, Shadow's grin widened to a smirk, before he took the hedgefox back to bed.

Shadow nodded, flashing a thumbs-up and a smirk to the kitsune. "Go..." he chuckled. "...and don't return, until it's in Sonic's arms..."

Shadow's eyebrow raised at this information. "So..." he chuckled. "Knucklehead is obsessed with Sonic's brother? How cute. Well, kid... if you can tell Manic this information, getting Sonic should be easy."

"Well..." the hedgehog began, stopping for a moment to gently play with his love's tail. "If you truly love the faker... Sonic... then you should tell him. You're always with him, and I don't see him wanting to be with anyone else. As for Manic... that will be tricky... it seems he's really stuck on you." Shadow closed his eyes, giving a thoughtful frown.

Shadow raised an eyebrow at Tails' explanation. "Sonic has a brother?" he asked. "Huh... news to me. So, kid... you're in love with Sonic. This brother of his likes you... what do you feel of him?"

Shadow's smirk widened. "Yes..." he purred softly. "I don't know the full details, but some scientists ended up experimenting on him. They didn't realise he was mine... but I still realised that he was still the same Sheko. But... I uh... Sheko and I fell in love. You just caught us in the afterglow. We were about to sleep. But forget that... you needed to talk?"

Shadow blinked, before smirking, placing the gun safely down. "Actually..." he chuckled. "We just finished." Realising that Tails probably wouldn't know who he meant, Shadow stood up, before heading to the room. Lifting Sheko into his arms, he carried him out into the living area, pressing a soft kiss on his neck. "Sheko-chan..." he purred. "I think you've met Tails."

Holding a gun in his left hand, Shadow gave a blink as he saw Tails. "Tails..." he said softly, having a soft spot for the young fox. "What's wrong... did you want to come inside? It's still a bit chilly out."

Shadow smirked. "But it is morning, dear Sheko-chan..." he laughed. "But... I will see you when we wake up... and-" DING-DONG! The black hedgehog blinked, hearing his doorbell. "Who could that be?" he wondered aloud. "I'm not expecting company. Nobody bothers me here..." Meanwhile, outside, a certain two-tailed fox waited nervously.

The hedgehog's lips curled upwards some more. "...and I love you, Sheko-chan..." he purred. "I think we should sleep though. With what we've both gone through... and this on top, we should conserve energy."

Shadow nodded softly, keeping his arms around the former chao. "Of course..." he said, cuddling his beloved close. "We'll be together for eternity."

Belbet hissed in pleasure, craning his neck so he could watch Evan as he teased him. Evaaaan...

Silver tilted his head to the side, confused. "Unova?" he asked. "I've never heard of that before... I can only guess it's far far away from Johto." Casting a lonely glance down, Silver could feel tears stinging his eyes, rolling down his face. Ethan... I miss you...

Belbet bit his lip, giving a soft groan of pleasure. His eyes rolling back, he gripped the sheets tightly. "Oh..." he moaned. "E-Evan..."

The ultimate lifeform gave a slight smile, before pressing his lips to Sheko's for a moment. "I love you too..." he said when pulling away. "Forever, my Sheko-chan."

Shadow let out a soft moan as he felt himself reach his peak, emptying himself inside his younger lover. As he came down from his high, he snuggled Sheko affectionately. "Sheko-chan..." he purred. "My Sheko-chan..."

The smaller Totodile gave a blink, stepping next to Silver. "You're human?" it asked. "But... you look like a regular Totodile to me. Who's Ethan? Is he a friend of yours?" Silver hung his head, feeling quite sad. With a sigh, he turned his glance to the smaller Totodile. "Where are we?" he asked. "I don't recognise this area..." Chibi Totodile gave a blink, before thinking. "Um..." it said softly. "I keep hearing humans call this Unova..."

Silver glanced at his reflection, eyes wide with confusion. The other Totodile, which looked to be a lot younger, gave a blink, before giggling. "You're silly!" he laughed, toddling next to the bigger Pokemon. "Do you have something stuck on your face?" Silver took some deep breaths and closed his eyes. "No..." he mumbled. "My name is Silver... I am a human... If I close my eyes, I should wake up in Ethan's arms." The bigger Totodile closed his eyes before opening them again, giving another wail. "It didn't WOOOOOOORK!"
