With her friends wrapped up in contests for the next two hours, Adri was free to find something else to occupy her... There was the market or the job board, or perhaps she'll go looking for wilds nearby. She could of course also just go cheer on her friends.

Adri bought two jars of Honey, two bottles of enriched waters, two jars of Oran Jam and a pair of Cherish balls because she found the red pokeballs to be super cute. She then headed to the Pokemon Checked the notice board.
She planned to head out to Tauros Valley anyways so she might as well go look for the Cap Cannon. Trading Cormag for Suzanne and Gaia for Cleit she headed off to see what she managed to find.

As she left town, a ranger was on the road outside the ranger station. He called over to her and approached. "There's a warning for anyone heading south right now. There was a disturbance on Route 2 yesterday that disturbed Pokémon. This caused some stampedes then, and the Pokémon are still very aggressive all over the area. If you must go this way please exercise extreme caution."

Adri frowned at the notice. She thought about the poachers's escape. She had a bad feeling about the disturbance...
Nonetheless she walked on.

Not too much later, she arrived at the logn slope that marks the entrance to Tauros Valley. If anywhere was goign to be full of aggressive Pokémon, shorly it would be the Valley neamed after Tauros. However, it is instead eerily silent and empty as Adri makes her way into the valley.

"there's something definitely strange here" Adri says to herself as she walks and releases Aeron as she scans the surroundings for the Cap Cannon.

Adri begins checking the ground of the valley, a good place to start. After getting further into the valley and away from the entrance, she begins to notice lots of caves on both sides. Still no sign of the Cap Cannon though... Or any Pokémon...

Adri sticked away from the caves and gave another look around as she walked. She was starting to get creeped out by the lack of... Anything.

Adri is checking under all the rocks about the middle of the valley but having no luck finding the cap cannon. Suddenly though, Aeron yips. He seems to be pointing her at one of the caves to her right. He doesn't sound afraid, but something has his attention.

Choosing to trust Aeron, Adri released Illyana so she could illuminate the path slightly, turned on her flashlight and headed carefully into the cavern.

As Adri approaches, her torch highlights the back of the actually fairly small alcove. Huddling at the back are several Paras, crouched close together. You think you see your torch reflect on something.

Adri took a pair of steps forward to get a better look at the thing, trying to appear as harmless as possible.

The most obvious thing she sees as she steps forward is the fear in the eyes of these Paras. But not of her. They don't make any further moves beyond watching her, but something spooked them. She can also make out the curved surface of the object that caught the light. It does seem to be the cap cannon.

Something had the Paras terrified. Absolutely terrified. Adri suddenly hugged the wall and turned around, pointing her flashlight at the ceiling, the walls, and then peering out of the cave.

The cave itself was a small alcove with solid walls and ceilings. There was nothing out of the ordinary there. As she pressed herself against the wall though she felt a trembling in the rock. And moments later she was able to hear something as well. A distant thundering getting closer.

At the noise Adri did her best to stay very still and be very quiet.

The thunderimg hooves get closer and closer, and even Aeron is seeming scared now. He huddles close to Adri. The cave is suddenly blackened as the hoard stampede past, leaving a huge dust cloud in their wake. As the sound recedes Aeron calms again. As best Adri can tell they seen to have run up the end of the valley where she walked down, and the sound of them seems to be travelling South.

Adri flopped to the ground and released a breath she didn't know she was holding. It seemed the rampaging Tauros had left.
she patted Aeron to calm him down, huddled close to Illyana and turned to see if the paras were still there.2d6dX9WPmsc

They were, and while they still appeared fearful, they looked a little calmer that nothing had happened.They even started to unhuddle themselves a little. Aeron stays close to Adri.

Adri stood up and petted Aeron again, then walked hesitantly towards the Paras.
"Hey, little ones. I won't hurt you, I promise. I just want to get the shiny thing you're huddled around"
