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 in Pokémon Adventures

Cassius is first seen in his cottage talking to 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 Y, Tierno, and Shauna losing a battle against a Team Flare Grunt's four Espurr. Cassius sends out his 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 X's friends to his cottage, where he introduces himself, his assistants, and Emma to them.

He agrees to help take the group to Cyllage City, where Y's mother, 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 Sky Trainers soon surround them. The Sky Trainers attack the helicopter with several Hurricanes, 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 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 propellor blade flies off and his Y in the head, knocking her out of the sky. Y survives due to the help of her Froakie, Kerokero, 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 Cycling Road. As the two argue, X and the others leave to go and search for Y.

Main article: Cassius (XY 115)

Cassius was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). First released in the Japanese Collection Y expansion, the Cassius card later debuted in English in the XY expansion, with both prints featuring an illustration by Masakazu Fukuda. This Trainer card allows the player to shuffle one Pokémon, and all cards attached to it, back into their deck.


Trivia

  • He is the only regional computer technician not to be affirmed as having created the system they maintain.
  • When spoken to, he insists that what he's saying is the truth. This is likely because his model is based on the Punk Guy Trainer class (who resemble gang members), who normally would not be considered the type to work with computers.
    • According to Lumiose City residents, a more accurate representation of the PC Creator archetype may be found in the Gym Leader Clemont, who is implied and mentioned to have invented or improved upon various major gameplay mechanics, including but not limited to, Super Training and the PSS.
