Sonichu (species)
Sonichu is the name used for Chris's imaginary species of electric hedgehog pokemon. Although the term sonichu can be used as a general name for all creatures in this species, it is usually only used for the male gendered specimen. When referring to female sonichu, the term rosechu is used.
Sonichus and reproduction
A sonichu's penis and testicles reside entirely within its abdominal cavity. While the testicles are permanently contained behind a "bone-like structure" for protection, the penis can emerge for urination or intercourse when the sonichu leans forward, causing the erect penis to "slide out" purely by gravitational force. This system displays a clear lack of knowledge of biology, as the reason that the testicles are outside the body is because the body's heat would kill sperm cells, thus, unless sonichu sperm is much more heat resistant than normal mammalian sperm, sonichus are sterile. In addition, Chris never explains if the penis always slides out when the sonichu leans over, which although it obviously isn't the case, Chris never mentions concious control over the action. All of this goes to show that people who have no knowledge of biology should not set out to create detailed organ systems for their fictional creatures.
The sonichu's sperm cells rest within a pouch inside his body. During an orgasm, Sonichu will release between 100 and 500 milligrams. Sonichus are prone to premature ejaculation, and can carry STDs.
Chris has mentioned that a sonee is born as the result of intercourse between a sonichu and a rosechu, or some combination of the above and a Ditto. Presumably a Ditto would assume the form of an opposite-sex sonichu..
Sonichus and evolution
The infant sonichu is first born in egg-form from a mother rosechu. When the egg hatches, a sonee comes out. This infant pokémon can already have a certain sub-type, Wild, for instance, was born as a green sonee with a grass subtype. After being nurtured for some time, the sonee then evolves into his sonichu form. Further evolution can lead to the sonichu becoming a metonic, when traded whilst holding steel gloves, or to becoming an ultra sonichu, when brought into contact with the seven Sonichu Balls.
