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."

He and his gang went to investigate and foundY,Tierno, andShauna in a losing battle against aTeam Flare Grunt's fourEspurr. Cassius easily captured the Espurr with hisGourgeist and allowed the kids to rest at his house.
InDancing Vivillon, Cassius agreed to helpX and his friends travel toCyllage City and transported them via helicopter. While in the sky, the helicopter was ambushed by severalSky Trainers and assaulted by multipleHurricanes fired from theirVivillon. Y defeatedYvette, the Sky Trainers' leader, and X took down theAegislash 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 herCroaky's frubbles while Cassius was forced to make a crash landing on the Cyllage City bicycle track, earning him the anger ofGrant. While Cassius argued with Grant over the damages, X and the others went to find Y by themselves.
InQuilladin Stands, Cassius and his gang oversaw the transport of the Sky Trainers andVaniville Town residents that were captured and manipulated byTeam Flare to a hospital inLaverre City.
InYveltal Steals, Cassius and his gang learned that someone had accessedEmma's PC Box onRoute 22. As Emma had been missing for some time, the group immediately set out to see if it was her, but made a detour toRoute 20 after seeing an explosion coming from that direction. InZygarde Agitated, Cassius arrived at thePokémon 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 hisGourgeist destroy the remote control deviceLysandre was using to control Emma's body, freeing her. Before Emma could command herZygarde to stop Lysandre, she was attacked by hisPyroar, who stole Zygarde'sPoké 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.
