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 is wandering through the forest. A week has passed since he was evolved by the power of the Chaos Emeralds, and he has found that in his larger form he cannot get proper nutrition from the diet of a Pikachu. He is also overcome with a newfound loneliness, being the only Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon in existence--at least, so far as he is aware.
Just then Sonichu notices Rosechu standing by a stream. He is instantly attracted to this similar species of hedgehog, and quietly stalks her as she returns to her home. Lurking in the bushes, Sonichu sees that Rosechu lives with her trainer, Kel, and decides that he can beg this person for food.
Inside, Rosechu expresses her own loneliness. Kel helpfully offers her Dragonite for companionship, but Rosey dismisses the idea, since a Dragonite's cock is too big for even her gaping slot. Just then Rosechu answers the door to find Sonichu panhandling for change. Immediately smitten, she aggressively pulls him into the cabin and has Kel cook them dinner.
Within a few days, Sonichu and Rosechu are inseparable. One night, while staring at the moon out by the lake, they interlock tails and share their first kiss, in the first of many sickening love scenes.
Given Christian's own inability to get laid, "Genesis of the Lovehogs" provides fascinating insight into how he believes romance is supposed to work: Boy sees girl, boy stalks girl for five minutes, girl wants to have sex with boy the second she lays eyes on him.
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).
