I looked at the overly cheerful creature standing before me, still not really sure what to make of things. Apparently we had met before, but I'm pretty sure I would have remembered meeting someone like him.

Him...

This guy wasn't just some guy either, he was the Black Shade; the mysterious black blur that has been showing up around the country.

"Yoohoo? Baby! You in there?"

He waved his hand in front of me, breaking me from my thoughts for just a second.

And speaking of, he had two different hands as well, one with three fingers, and another with five.

"Don't tell me you don't recognize me, my beloved Burton~" He proudly pointed at himself before grabbing one of my hands into his own. "Well, I don't really know who I am, but I know it's you! It's been so long since I've seen you!"

That name, Burton...

He had mentioned in a minute ago, and I assume he's mistaken me for whoever this guy was.

"Umm, I'm sorry, but that's not my name. My name is Aladar, and I don't think we've ever met before."

I jumped a little after saying that as he immediately pulled me into rather tight hug. I couldn't help but blush a little as this guy seemed to be much stronger than he looked, and rather overly affectionate too.

I mean... Not like I was against him hugging me or anything; actually, felt kinda nice.

"Oh silly, of course you're Burton, I could recognize you anywhere~ Or maybe that's just the name you go by now? it's been quite a long time since we've seen each other! Wonder what I was doing all that time? I can't seem to recall anything before I arrive a few weeks ago... No matter: you'll always be Burton to me, Baby~"

Had to admit, I was rather terrified of this guy, and the only thing keeping me from losing my cool was the fact that he seemed to know me, so I don't think I was in any real danger at the moment.

"And uh, speaking of..."

He didn't let go of me, but he did place me in front of him.

"Where are we?"

"We're at the edge of Twist Mountain." I replied.

"Where's that?" He replied back.

"Unova."

"Where's that?"

I groaned a little, as this situation was not desirable.

Again, not in any danger, but this man was very much extroverted, and I don't think I was going to be able to get rid of him easily. Honestly wasn't sure if I should get rid of him to begin with; this guy clearly thinks he knows me, and he was some sort of Pokémon that I've never seen before who has amnesia and probably nowhere to go.

Though he is wanted for being the Black Shade, I don't think he's evil, so I probably shouldn't call the cops on him or anything.

Never had I regretted my evening walk as much I did now.

"Sorry, but what's your name again?"

"Nyarlathotep~ But you can call me Nyarl, or Daddy~ Call me what you want, Baby~"

I can't say I envy you, Burton...

So yeah, my Sona's Digimon Husband? GulusGammamon~

Yeah, for a while it was actually ExVeemon, but it was really on him because back then I really only knew like six digimon, and he was one of them. But over the years and becoming part of the digimon fanbase, I finally found the perfect one for Zangoose Aladar.

And yes, Digimon Ghost Game very much played a part in this choice.

But adding onto this, my GulusGammamon is also based off of this guy: https://housamo.wiki/Nyarlathotep

As anyone who follows me on Twitter knows, I'm a big Tokyo Afterschool Summoners fan, and Nyarlathotep is one my Protagonist's (Burton) top three love interests.

Backstories for these two is that this Aladar is Solgaleo's Aladar, but he never went off to boarding school, thus never becoming more confident in himself and never meeting Solgaleo, who is dead at this point. Meanwhile Nyarl had expelled himself from Tokyo after he had chosen to kill Burton for his master, this resulted in him losing his mind and becoming a shapeless being of chaos that drifted between worlds until he stumbled across this one.

Since this world had a Burton in it (which if you haven't guessed already, is just another version of Aladar), Nyarl was able to take a shape and become himself again, even if he didn't have his memories. Since he obviously had passed though the Digital World, the shape he became was that of a GulusGammamon, thought he still has aspects of his original form (His jacket is half brown, one of his hands has five fingers, he still has his clothes though they are very worn and torn, and of course the hair on his head).

Super timid and introverted Aladar and The Crawling Chaos, Nyarlathotep.
Wonder what their lives will be like from here forward?

Wonderful work of these two from Kibamon1 from Twitter: https://twitter.com/Kibamon1
