Sonichu #15 is the seventeenth issue of Sonichu. It was announced by Chris on 17 October 2017, directly after he completed Sonichu #12, put on hold during the Idea Guys saga, and resumed in July 2019 until Chris lost interest and abandoned the comic again. iIt was intended as a "Retelling of the Classic First Three Episodes, BUT with More Details; More Commentary and Dialogue from Sonichu and Rosechu", but the bulk of its content was either plagiarised from Rosechu's Story, a Tumblr fan comic that Chris had downloaded in June 2019, or else originally devised by the Idea Guys. Its cover is an alternate version of the infamous "Zap to the extreme!" cover on Sonichu #0, with a transgender Chris directing Sonichu, who responds, "Yes, I will!! Thank you, mother!!!"; Chris believes that his art has improved in the thirteen years between the two books. That Chris wishes to make his own version of Rosechu's Story has not stopped him monetising his source material: he also produced a cover for that and offered it in print for sale on eBay, acknowledging only in fine print that his work was another's used with permission.

Sonichu mourning his parents' death.

For the most part, Chris adapted Rosechu's Story faithfully, occasionally revising dialogue to his taste and adding a few pages for Sonichu's perspective. His most noteworthy change to the plot was in deciding to depict the Raichu with a blunt tail (in the Pokémon games, this marks a Raichu as female), even though Rosechu's Story's plot depended on Rosechu having been born male, in an obvious attempt to put his foot down on the much-debated and -ridiculed topic of Rosechu's birth gender. However, the Idea Guys brainwashed Chris into believing that he was wrong and that Rosechu was really born male, so Chris reversed his alteration in a 2019 revision. They also persuaded him that Sonichu's parents had been gassed to death by Team Rocket's Koffing Pokémon.

Sonichu #15 Version Comparison
Page Number	2017 Version	2019 Version	Notes
Cover			The original cover did not credit Trickie or Rosechu's Story. For the 2019 revision, Chris scribbled a note in the corner reading: "Also complimenting of Trickie's book, "Rosechu's Story", with permission to quote that book for this one."
1			Rosechu's tail as a Raichu is blunt in the 2017 original to show she is a natural female; her tail as a Pikachu is heart-shaped for the same reason. (This itself retconned Sonichu 0, which depicted the Raichu with a pointed tail because Nintendo did not draw male and female Raichus differently in 2000.) In Chris's 2019 revision, he followed Idea Guy's canon and revised the page to depict the Pikachu/Raichu with pointed tails (by drawing the tails on a separate page, cutting them out and gluing them over the original versions).
9			Minor date change. The 2017 version gives 14 February 2003, as the date Rosechu and Sonichu meet; the 2019 version is revised to 7 February. Chris wrote the seven on a slip of paper and glued it over the previous date.
