[[File:Cassius Adventures.png|thumb|right|130px|Cassius in Pokémon Adventures]]
Cassius debuted in ''[[PS566|Overthrowing a Tyrunt]]''. During a conversation with {{adv|Bill}}, Cassius was alerted to noise coming from outside his house. He and his gang went to investigate and found {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} in a losing battle against a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}'s four {{p|Espurr}}. Cassius easily captured the Espurr with his {{p|Gourgeist}} and allowed the kids to rest at his house.
Cassius is first seen in his cottage talking to {{adv|Bill}} via video call about the Kalos Storage System. Bill gets annoyed by Cassius constantly ignoring his words. Cassius impatiently hangs up the call. He notes to his assistants that he hears strange noises coming from Parfum Palace, and he wants to go over and investigate. Cassius takes his assistants along to where {{adv|Y}}, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]] and [[Clemont]] are, and intervenes in their battle against four [[Espurr]] by sending out his {{p|Gourgeist}}. Unfortunately, Gourgeist subdues the four Espurr with ease. This causes Cassius' assistants to return to his cottage. Clemont gets intrigued by what's in Espurr's ears, and tries to clip one of the Espurr by the ear using his Aipom Arm. Cassius tries to warn him, but the Espurr that was grabbed launches a beam that blasts Clemont into the sky.


Cassius takes the Vaniville quintet back to his cottage, where he learns of [[Grace|Y's mother]]'s disappearance. He decides to drive the quintet to [[Cyllage City]], where Y's mother was rumored to have been seen. On the way, he stops over at the [[Battle Chateau]] with his assistants in order to upgrade its [[Pokémon Storage System]]. Cassius also receives permission to fly the Battle Chateau's private helicopter. He explains to the Vaniville quartet that to get to Cyllage by road, one would have to go through the [[Connecting Cave]] where it is easy to be ambushed. Unfortunately, during the helicopter flight, Cassius and the Vaniville quintet are ambushed by 15 [[Sky Trainer]]s. Knowing that she is to be challenged, Y, having changed back into her Sky Suit, jumps out of the helicopter to challenge them. Just moments after Y emerges victorious, one of the helicopter's propeller blades breaks off and hits Y on the head, making her fall out of the sky. Cassius, fearing that the helicopter would crash, quickly makes an emergency landing of the helicopter on Cyllage, which causes considerable damage to the city's cycle paths. After letting X view the helicopter's flying records, Cassius makes a phone call to his assistants, asking them to drive the van over. His call is interrupted by [[Grant]] who confronts Cassius over the damage to the cycle paths. While Grant and Cassius argue, X walks away and beckons Tierno, [[Trevor]] and Shauna to follow him.
In ''[[PS570|Dancing Vivillon]]'', Cassius agreed to help {{adv|X}} and his friends travel to [[Cyllage City]] and transported them via helicopter. While in the sky, the helicopter was ambushed by several {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s and assaulted by multiple {{m|Hurricane}}s fired from their {{p|Vivillon}}. Y defeated [[Yvette]], the Sky Trainers' leader, and X took down the {{p|Aegislash}} controlling them, but the helicopter sustained too much damage, causing a propeller blade to snap off and hit Y on the head. Y survived the fall due to her [[Croaky]]'s frubbles while Cassius was forced to make a crash landing on the Cyllage City bicycle track, earning him the anger of [[Grant]]. While Cassius argued with Grant over the damages, X and the others went to find Y by themselves.
 
In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Cassius and his gang oversaw the transport of the Sky Trainers and [[Vaniville Town]] residents that were captured and manipulated by [[Team Flare]] to a hospital in [[Laverre City]].
 
In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Cassius and his gang learned that someone had accessed [[Emma]]'s PC Box on {{rt|22|Kalos}}. As Emma had been missing for some time, the group immediately set out to see if it was her, but made a detour to {{rt|20|Kalos}} after seeing an explosion coming from that direction. In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', Cassius arrived at the [[Pokémon Village]], where he discovered that Emma had been working for Team Flare under the guise of Essentia to make money for her friends. He had his {{p|Gourgeist}} destroy the remote control device [[Lysandre]] was using to control Emma's body, freeing her. Before Emma could command her {{adv|Zygarde}} to stop Lysandre, she was attacked by his {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}}, who stole Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]]. With Zygarde now under his control, he used it to send everyone flying away. Cassius and Emma survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.  
 
In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to [[Lumiose City]]. After they arrived, Cassius and Emma waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

Quotes

Camphrier Town

"Yo, how's it going there? I'm Cassius. Check this out. You know what I'm doing here? I'm keeping the PC Box running! No, seriously! Bill over in Kanto asked me to come here and run things. For real! Enough with the introductions. Get out there, catch some Pokémon, and put 'em in the PC! Yo, you got something you wanna ask me? I ain't got all day, you know?"
Boxes: "Boxes are pretty sweet. You can store up to 30 of your Pokémon in a single Box. You start out with only eight of 'em, but the more Pokémon you deposit, the more Boxes will appear! No, seriously! It's like magic! That's not all, either. You can swap whole Boxes at once if you want. For real!"
The Battle Box: "The Battle Box is no joke, yo! Got Pokémon you use in battle a lot? Put up to six of 'em in the Battle Box. Hold up--I'll explain why. See, if you're having a Link Battle over the Internet, local wireless, infrared connection, or by using the Battle Spot, you can choose to use the Pokémon in your Battle Box instead of the ones in your party. That means you don't have to go to the trouble of moving around Pokémon before a battle. It's crazy convenient! For real!"
Trays: "Trays are totally awesome, dude! They let you select a bunch of Pokémon at a time and move 'em around the PC Box. No, seriously! They're a lifesaver once you've caught a lot of Pokémon."

Cassius debuted in Overthrowing a Tyrunt. During a conversation with Bill, Cassius was alerted to noise coming from outside his house. He and his gang went to investigate and found Y, Tierno, and Shauna in a losing battle against a Team Flare Grunt's four Espurr. Cassius easily captured the Espurr with his Gourgeist and allowed the kids to rest at his house.

In Dancing Vivillon, Cassius agreed to help X and his friends travel to Cyllage City and transported them via helicopter. While in the sky, the helicopter was ambushed by several Sky Trainers and assaulted by multiple Hurricanes fired from their Vivillon. Y defeated Yvette, the Sky Trainers' leader, and X took down the Aegislash controlling them, but the helicopter sustained too much damage, causing a propeller blade to snap off and hit Y on the head. Y survived the fall due to her Croaky's frubbles while Cassius was forced to make a crash landing on the Cyllage City bicycle track, earning him the anger of Grant. While Cassius argued with Grant over the damages, X and the others went to find Y by themselves.

In Quilladin Stands, Cassius and his gang oversaw the transport of the Sky Trainers and Vaniville Town residents that were captured and manipulated by Team Flare to a hospital in Laverre City.

In Yveltal Steals, Cassius and his gang learned that someone had accessed Emma's PC Box on Route 22. As Emma had been missing for some time, the group immediately set out to see if it was her, but made a detour to Route 20 after seeing an explosion coming from that direction. In Zygarde Agitated, Cassius arrived at the Pokémon Village, where he discovered that Emma had been working for Team Flare under the guise of Essentia to make money for her friends. He had his Gourgeist destroy the remote control device Lysandre was using to control Emma's body, freeing her. Before Emma could command her Zygarde to stop Lysandre, she was attacked by his Pyroar, who stole Zygarde's Poké Ball. With Zygarde now under his control, he used it to send everyone flying away. Cassius and Emma survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In Xerneas Gives, after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Cassius and Emma waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.
