Sonichu 0
The very first issue of Christian Weston Chandler's masterpiece. At this point, the comic was almost entirely about Sonichu and Rosechu, although bits of Chris's life still manage to find their way in.
Features
Episode 1: "Sonichu's Orgin"
A wild boy Pikachu wanders through a field until it notices catastrophic destruction five miles away in Station Square, where the Perfect Chaos Monster is running rampant. It runs to the city, where it finds Sonic the Hedgehog battles the monster, using the Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic. Perfect Chaos counterattacks, hurling Sonic directly into the Pikachu, and their collision causes the Chaos Emerald energy to mingle with Pikachu, releasing a powerful rainbow into the sky.
Fifteen miles away, the rainbow touches down in front of the house of Pokemon trainer Kel, whose female Raichu is caught in the blast. At both endpoints of the rainbow, the Pokemon are transformed into hedgehog-like creatures. Kel discovers that her Raichu is now pink, standing upright, wearing a red dress, and capable of human speech. She remarks that this new species of Pokemon is "as pretty as a rose," coining the name Rosechu.
The former Pikachu awakens from the collision with Sonic and, failing to notice his transformation, joins Sonic in the battle against Perfect Chaos. His Thunder attack defeats the monster, and the gathering crowd mistakes him for Sonic (who has now departed) as they cheer him on. Later, after considering his new role in the universe, he names the species he has evolved into "Sonichu," in honor of his brief ally.
The remainder of this episode sees Christian Weston Chandler provide exposition about key elements of the upcoming stories, with profiles on CWCville, Sonichu, Rosechu, Kel, Naitsirhc, Black Sonichu, the Chaotic Combo, and Flame the Sunbird. Chris hints at the significance of Chris-Chan Sonichu, Saramah Rosechu, and Wes-Li Sonichu, and briefly mentions the villains of the series: Mary Lee Walsh and the Jerkops. The greatest attention is given to Christian himself and the fact that he needs a girlfriend.
Episode 2: "Genesis of the Lovehogs"
Sonichu stumbles through the wilderness in search of food and finds love. The first of many sickening love scenes with Sonichu and Rosechu. Also an illustration of Chris's ideal love affair - a woman falling in love with Chris after five minutes of him stalking her.
Episode 3: "Sonichu vs. Naitsirhc"
Sonichu defeats Naitsirhc's Zapdos, saving Rosechu and CWCville Mall. This is the first time Chris decides to tell us about his love quest (well, apart from a little note in his description at the start).
