===Pokémon Adventures===
Brassius debuted in PASV08. He was first seen in Artazon, where he approached after noting she had been staring at the "Surrendering " for some time. Despite knowing nothing about art, Scarlet gave her own interpretation on what the "Surrendering Sunflora" was supposed to convey. Moved to tears, Brassius praised Scarlet's critique as correct, becoming even more impressed upon learning that she had been able to do it despite not attending any of Hassel's art classes. When Nemona arrived and called Scarlet by name, Brassius recognized her as the one had heard from Katy and agreed to tell her about the treasures of ruin if she, in turn, would collaborate with him. He saw Scarlet's usage of the Gym Challenge as a tool for collecting information for her profession as a treasure hunter as similar to his own past, when he had created art only to earn money and recognition.
After Scarlet had passed the Gym Test, Brassius agreed to battle her. The battle, which ended in Brassius's defeat, left the Gym Leader inspired for a new art piece, though he agreed to tell her about the treasures of ruin as promised. Although he had little information to provide, Brassius did inform Scarlet that the treasures of ruin referred to a group of Pokémon. As Scarlet left, Brassius suggested she go meet with Hassel at the academy, as he was the one who gave him the information to begin with.
