===Pokémon Adventures===
Cassius is first seen in his cottage talking to {{adv|Bill}} via video call about the Kalos Storage System. Cassius continuously annoys Bill with his nonchalant tone and mocking of his Goldenrod accent. He then hangs up the call and tells his assistants about the commotion he hears coming from outside. Cassius decides that all of them should go out to investigate. Once they arrive, Cassius notes {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} losing a battle against a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}'s four {{p|Espurr}}. Cassius sends out his {{p|Gourgeist}} and easily dispatches the Espurr by clutching them in its hands. With the Pokémon defeated, [[Clemont]]'s curiosity gets the better of him and he decides to open the Espurr's ears to see the organ underneath despite Cassius's warnings. With the power unrestrained, the Espurr send Clemont flying into the air with a blast of Psychic energy, much to Cassius's frustration. Later, he takes {{adv|X}}'s friends to his cottage, where he introduces himself, his assistants, and [[Emma]] to them.
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.


He agrees to help take the group to [[Cyllage City]], where Y's mother, {{kal|Grace}}, was last seen before her abduction at the hands of [[Team Flare]]. He drives X's group around in his van so that they can keep themselves hidden from their enemies. After a stop at the [[Battle Chateau]] to perform maintenance, Cassius gets permission to use the Battle Chateau's private helicopter so that they can avoid going through [[Connecting Cave]], where they could be easily ambushed. They take to the skies, but a group of {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s soon surround them. The Sky Trainers attack the helicopter with several {{m|Hurricane}}s, severely damaging it. Y leaves the helicopter to fight her fellow Sky Trainers and former classmates, while X and the others realize that the Sky Trainers are being controlled by an {{p|Aegislash}} owned by Team Flare. Together, Y defeats the Sky Trainers' leader while X defeats Aegislash, releasing the control it had over its victims. The damage the helicopter took was too much, and a propeller blade flies off and hits Y in the head, knocking her out of the sky. Y survives due to the help of her {{p|Froakie}}, [[Croaky]], but Cassius is forced to make an emergency landing on bicycle paths in order to prevent them from crashing. After landing, an frustrated Cassius calls his assistants to get the van over to them, but is informed that [[Emma]] had gone missing again. The call is interrupted by [[Grant]], who demands to know what caused the damage to the cycling area. As the two argue, X and the others leave Cassius behind to go and search for Y.
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.


Cassius meets up with X's group again in [[Laverre City]]. There, he and his gang oversee the transport of the Sky Trainers and Vaniville Town residents that were captured and manipulated by Team Flare to a hospital.
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]].


Cassius returns to his cottage some time afterwards, but calls himself into action again when his assistants find out that Emma had been using the Storage System. He initially sets his destination as [[Détourner Way]], but detours into the [[Winding Woods]] after witnessing an explosion from the woods' direction. Cassius eventually arrives at the [[Pokémon Village]] after X had discovered that the masked member of Team Flare was actually Emma, who had been working for them in order to help Cassius out. Cassius tells Emma that she doesn't have to work for Team Flare and has his Gourgeist destroy the device [[Lysandre]] used to control Emma's suit. Now freed, Emma attempts to attack Lysandre with {{p|Zygarde}}, only for Lysandre's {{p|Gyarados}} to attack her and give Zygarde's {{i|Poké Ball}} to Lysandre. With Zygarde under his control, Lysandre has it use {{m|Land's Wrath}} to attack everyone in the area. Although they survive the attack, Cassius and Emma are left too injured to continue battling. They later witness X defeating Zygarde by having his five capable Pokémon [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] at the same time.
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.  


After Team Flare is defeated, Cassius drives the Vaniville children to [[Lumiose City]]. Afterward, he and Emma say their goodbyes to X and his friends as they head off.
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.
