Spells and Louds.
Chapter. 1,032: A return to Great Lakes City.

(August 17. Great Lakes City.)

We see Lincoln, Jordan and Linka head to the subway and they are with someone they called from FutureTech and his name is Jack Cyber, and they meet with their friends: Ronnie Anne, Sid, Adelaide and CJ, and they also see Stanley and his boss, Mr. Vanderspeed and a robot named, GLART-E

"Hey guys, glad we could come and what the heck is with the new robot?" asked Lincoln.

The robot then goes over and greets all of them. "Greetings passengers. My name is The Great Lakes Area Rapid Transit Enhancement, also known as GLART-E."

Linka is feeling suspicious. "Something doesn't feel right, what the heck is going on and why is Stanley Chang looking like a mess?"

Ronnie Anne then tells them. "Well, Mr. Chang was gonna be replaced by a robot, and we wanted to help him beat the robot and it worked, but then he had to keep up the speed to make sure he keeps his job, and now he's being fired for being only 3 seconds late."

Jordan is confused. "3 seconds late? 3 seconds late? Seriously? We have seen that before in Royal Woods with the transit system as well, but it doesn't seem like a big issue. What the heck is going on here?"

Mr. Vanderspeed scoffs. "Well, I wanna make sure that I can have the most efficient, the best and the fastest subway ever in all of Great Lakes City, with no need for bathroom breaks, and no lunch breaks too, and no one can..."

Jack Cyber goes over and he scans the robot, and then he speaks. "Alright, time to be the Subway systems interview and advanced inspection system mode, deploying!"

Mr. Vanderspeed is shocked. "Wait, what?!"

Then Jack Cyber deploys himself with his uniform and he has a check board. "Alright, GLART-E. The people who are riding on your train are uncomfortable with the way the train is moving fast, what do you do to keep them comfortable and from, reporting this to the land transportation department?"

GLART-E makes a response. "I will inform them that all complaints will be made possible and tell them to have a nice day."

Jack Cyber sighs. "The complaints will pile up and pile up and pile up, and the conductor will be blamed and whoever assigned the conductor to the job." Jack Cyber then asks. "A woman is pregnant and is about to give birth, and the folks in the back aid in the delivery, but they need the train to slow down and reach the next station despite the fact that you need to get to the actual station destination, so what do you do?"

GLART-E makes a response. "We must not stop. Priority must be to reach su8ch destination and my priority is not to tend to those who require medical aid." Mr. Vanderspeed is horrified by this response.

"And that would result in stress levels rising, and no proper medical stuff and they need to get off to get the baby someplace where he will survive, otherwise stress levels will rise and the cause of what happens next is death, and that is an account for child murder, and the woman who delivered needs to calm down as well, and she would die in the process and that would be murder."

Jack Cyber then asks. "The train breaks down, what do you do? And what of the folks who demand the train to move because of a very serious event?"

GLART-E responds. "Inform them that the train has broken down and signal maintenance to come and help with repairs and inform the passengers of the estimated time of when they will go to their destination, and then tell them to have a nice day." This makes Mr. Vanderspeed shocked at the response.

Jack Cyber scoffs. "Apparently the robot lacks an AI system or even an emotional or even systems that would help it figure out an actual solution and the lack of necessary tools and other protocols and this stupid piece of robotic trash from a low-grade tech company lacks the right needs to repair a damaged engine problem. So, this would mean that..."

Stanley answers each one. "I would have to help them get comfortable and ask what is wrong, and I would figure out how to make their ride more comfortable, but if they are folks whom I already know, then I know what to do and make them feel alri9ght. But who am I kidding? I know everyone who comes aboard the train."

"If the lady is pregnant, then we need to go nice and steady, and I would inform the other folks of the medical emergency and even signal all emergency lights of what is happening to make sure other trains are aware and then reach the nearest station and inform the couple of the nearest medical place to help make their baby safe and alive. All life is precious."

"Also, I am aware of how the train works and each issue, and the train has a compartment where the tools and parts are located. I have been running that gig for some time and people are patient with me when it comes to repairs, and some folks even help out because they have some skills to repair a train and the parts needed."

They are all clapping at what Stanley said, and the crowd has gathered and they all cheer. "Stanley Chang! Stanley Chang! Stanley Chang! Stanley Chang! Stanley Chang!" This makes Mr. Chang happy to hear, but his boss is now panicking, and all the questions have malfunctioned his robot.

"No! This is not how things were supposed to go! I was supposed to replace the weak human factor of the..." Everyone looks to him sternly. "Wait, did I just say that out loud?"

"Yes, yes it did." They see the mayor. "I would wish to speak to you about this, and also with the Land Transit Department as well. I am sure they would love to hear how the manager of this place was trying to do an idea which he never told us." the cops arrive and bring Mr. Vanderspeed away, and then they look to the robot that is out of control.

"I got this." Jack Cyber transforms into a grinder tank and he shreds GLART-E to pieces, and then he transforms back. "There, all done. Alright, let's all hope aboard the Stanley Chang Express!"

Everyone cheers and they all hop inside, and then Stanley calls out. "Alright folks. We'll be at the next station and at the other destination soon. When I say chuga, can I get a choo-choo?"

They all call out. "Choo-Choo!" Jack Cyber is enjoying this too. "This is fun." the train moves and everyone is feeling happy to know that a human is back maintaining this place.

Then Sid speaks to the others. "Alright guys, real talk here. We found out days ago that the rat gang tried to surface after the cat gang was chased away after the arrival of the Pokémon, and apparently the rat gang tried to make Great Lakes City their ow city."

Adelaide then speaks. "Apparently the cats did maintain control, but the Pokémon have scared them off because they weren't used to new creatures, and even the dinosaurs who now wander around the planet."

This all sounds concerning, and then Jordan asks. "So, what the heck did you guys do?"

CJ answers. "I was there, and it turns out that the rat gang has been dealt with, and all thanks to this gang of Meowth's led by a Persian and there are two more gangs too. One led by Alolan Persian and another led by this Viking looking Meowth Pokémon." He then uses his Pokédex and they see the information.

Meowth.
Scratch Cat Pokémon. Normal Type.
Adores circular objects. Wanders the streets on a nightly basis to look for dropped loose change. Appears to be more active at night. It loves round and shiny things. It can't stop from picking them up. Meowth withdraws its sharp claws into its paws to slinkily sneak about without making any incriminating footsteps. Meowth evolves into Persian and has a Galarian Form, along with other forms depending on the regions of Alola and Galar.

Persian.
Classy Cat Pokémon. Normal Type.
Although its fur has many admirers, it is tough to raise as a pet because of its fickle meanness. The gem in its forehead glows on its own! It walks with all the grace and elegance of a proud queen. Persian has six bold whiskers that give it a look of toughness. The whiskers sense air movements to determine what is in the Pokémon's surrounding vicinity. It becomes docile if grabbed by the whiskers. Has a vicious temperament. Beware if it raises its tail straight up. It is a signal that it is about to pounce and bite.

Alolan Meowth.
Scratch Cat Pokémon. Dark Type.
This Pokémon was not originally found in Alola. Human actions caused a surge in their numbers, and they went feral. They're prideful and crafty. When it's delicate pride is wounded, or when the gold coin on its forehead is dirtied, it flies into a hysterical rage. It's impulsive, selfish, and fickle. It's very popular with some Trainers who like giving it the attention it needs. Evolves into Alolan Persian.

Alolan Persian.
Classy Cat Pokémon. Dark Type.
Its round face and smooth coat—softer than the most high-class velvet—have made this a very popular Pokémon in Alola. It looks down on everyone other than itself. Its preferred tactics are sucker punches and blindside attacks. In contrast to its lovely face, it's so brutal that it tortures its weakened prey rather than finishing them off. Its round face is a symbol of wealth. Persian that have bigger, plumper faces are considered more beautiful

Galarian Meowth.
Scratch Cat Pokémon. Steel Type.
Living with a savage, seafaring people has toughened this Pokémon's body so much that parts of it have turned to iron. These daring Pokémon have coins on their foreheads. Darker coins are harder, and harder coins garner more respect among Meowth. This kind of Meowth evolves into Perrserker.

Perrserker.
Viking Pokémon. Steel Type.
What appears to be an iron helmet is actually hardened hair. This Pokémon lives for the thrill of battle. After many battles, it evolved dangerous claws that come together to form daggers when extended.

They are surprised and happy to know about this, the city is safe from the rats and all thanks to these feline Pokémon gangs and then Jack Cyber asks. "Has there been any disputes over territory control on parts of the city? These kinds of Pokémon are highly territorial and don't like it when others try to take what belongs to them."

Sid then speaks. "Well, there are some fights but they only occur once every full moon, and at what looks like areas where there are no people, but it seems fitting for some kind of battle for the different feline-based Pokémon."

This does sound like something normal, and then Jordan speaks. "Sounds about normal and best not to get involved since it sounds like a common thing that they are doing. Leave them be." The others nod, and then Adelaide speaks.

"Guys, there was this one time where I tried to change the Meowth and Persian gangs to make them be adoptable, but then I found out what they are truly meant for and then left them be." she chuckles nervously and this surprises the others, and they see Sid nod, it is true.

"To be continued in the next chapter everyone."

A/N: Mostly about "Race against the Machine" then a change from what was supposed to be called "My Fair Cat Lady." At least things are now going back to the usual and normal. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter everyone.
