These are Calyrex's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series

Pokémon Sword and Shield

Freezington

"Crow own..."

"Craaaa... Crawwwwn."

• Before battle (if player accepted to battle)

"Cra! Rowcrown!"

• Before battle (if player refused to battle)

"Rrrrrrrrow..."

• During battle

"Cro rown!"

• After being defeated

"Cracrown crow. Roooooowwwn rown crown."

Who are you?/Did you have fun?: "Rooown. Crararown. Rrrow crow crow crown."

Did you have fun?: "Rown riiiown crowriown. Rararown cacarown."

"Ricown Crocrocrown. Croooooown recrown."

"Rmmmm..."

"Hrm. Ruumm crorown. Cracrown."

• After taking over Peony's body

"... ... ..."

"Ah, yes. A sturdy body, just as I expected."

"I hope he doesn't mind that I make use of it for the time being."

Chief Peony?: "An understandable reaction, but the answer is no."

Are you the Pokémon?: "Oh, I see you have grasped the situation already. Very astute of you!"

"I am Calyrex. I am the one known as the King of Bountiful Harvests. I have borrowed this man's body in order to thank you in person...so to speak."

"Indeed, there are no words to adequately express my gratitude toward you for restoring my statue."

"In days past long, I reigned over these lands as king. The humans offered me their loyalty and respect, as I was able to bring lush vegetation to the land and give them plentiful harvests year after year. However, it seems that over many, many years, the people of this land have forgotten my existence. They used to make offerings to me every year, but even that tradition has long since been lost to the ravages of time. You see, it is the faith of the people that grants me strength... And now I have lost all but a fraction of my former power. Even my loyal steed has abandoned me..."

"However, you were kind enough to restore my statue! That act has returned some strength to me, at least enough to speak to you by borrowing the body of another."

"Now, kindhearted human child... I have a favor to ask of you. I must know once and for all whether the people have truly forgotten about me. I wish to speak to the villagers and ask if they remember the King of Bountiful Harvests. I have tried asking the myself, you understand. But they treated me like some sort of fairy-tale creature or flew into a mild panic at the sight of me..."

"Please, kindhearted human. I beg you to help me..."

• After the player talks with Freezington's villagers

"Ah, human child! I trust you were able to speak to the villagers. So, how was it? Did they say anything about me?"

They did, but.../Just that you were a fairy tale...: "Hmm... It is as I suspected. Nobody truly believes that I am real."

"It seems the people of this land have indeed forgotten the bond they once shared with me... Hm? Oh, no, of course I am not grieving! I am the King of Bountiful Harvests, after all! I know better than to count on humans to remember me. This proves beyond doubt that I cannot simply rely on human faith if I want my powers to return."

"If only my loyal steed were to return to me, I would regain something of what I've lost..."

Your loyal steed?/Is that a Pokémon?: "Yes! The four-legged Pokémon that I used to ride all across the land."

"The very same Pokémon that my statue in the village shows me riding. Alas, though in ancient times we spent many days together, dashing through the valleys and over the mountains of this land... my powers waned, and I was forced to part ways with it. Now, I know not where it may be. Even if we should succeed in locating my loyal steed, I have my doubts as to whether it has remained...well, loyal. I have lost so much power... "

"Perhaps the villagers know something about my... currently not-so-loyal steed. I would be in your debt if you could speak to the head of the village on my behalf."

"If you are able to find any information at all, I ask that you let me know..."

• After the player talks with Freezington's mayor

"Crow-row. Crrrrrown."

(Through Peony): "Human child! Were you able to find something out about my loyal steed?"

Yes: "You say you found out about something that my loyal steed could not resist?!"

No: "Ah, that is unfortunate... Should you find out anything, I ask that you let me know."

"It has been so long since we rode together that I had completely forgotten... With this information, we may be able to lure my loyal steed to me yet!"

"So tell me—what is it that my loyal steed would find so irresistible?" / "Was there perhaps anything else you discovered information about?"

The Reins of Unity: "Hmm... The Reins of Unity, you say? 'Tis true that they would help me regain the link with my loyal steed, but it has been many years since the humans made a new set of reins for me. I doubt we shall be able to obtain them now."

Carrots: "Oho! Carrots, you say! Yes, yes, I remember now... Even back when we were together, it would leap at any chance to eat some kind of crop. It took everything I had to restrain it!"

The Freezington Snow Samba: "The...Freezington Snow Samba? I did see the villagers performing a strange dance some years ago, but it was hardly irresistible. In fact, I imagine even a Greedent would lose its appetite after one look at such an odd display."

The Freezington's Fame Shirt: "Ah yes. The garment with my image on it. I suspect that even a poor facsimile of my visage would be enough to send my loyal steed running. Its loyalty is not what it used to be..."

"Looking back, the crop must have been carrots! I am in your debt, human child!"

"What we must do now is clear. If we are able to find carrots somewhere, it should be but a trifle to lure my loyal steed back to me! I wonder... Do the humans of the village grow any carrots? If we could obtain even a single seed, I could grow a carrot from it myself..."

• When the player obtains Carrot Seeds

"By the stars! You say that you have Carrot Seeds? That strange bag contains the seeds of carrots? You humans never stop adapting and evolving. I am constantly amazed by your ingenuity."

"And yet... Hmm. The fields of the village simply won't do. They're not suited for growing carrots. If we could find rich soil, I could use my powers to grow the crops we need!"

"Now... where might we find soil suited for growing these crops in this tundra of mine?"

"Ah, I see two spots that might suit our needs. One is a field covered with pristine snow. Another spot is a field by gravestones, where those who moved on were laid to rest."

"Either of those locations should allow me to use my powers and grow the carrots we need. Please, I ask that you choose a field and plant those seeds!"

Snowslide Slope/Old Cemetery

• If the player chose a field on Snowslide Slope

"I see you have reached one of the fields." / "Are you truly ready to plant the Carrot Seeds?"

"If you plant the seeds in this field, Iceroot Carrots will grow."

"It has been so long that my memory is hazy, but I believe that my loyal steed would often partake of this sort of vegetable. If Iceroot Carrots were what my steed preferred, it must have been Ice type, mustn't it?"

"It's most vexing that I can't recall. I supposed we will see."

"I will ask but once more... Are you sure this is the field in which you want to plant the seeds?"

Yes: "Very well. Then I ask that you plant the seeds."

No: "So you wish to reconsider? Very well... I shall return once you have made your choice."

"Kah hah hah! Very good, very good. You have an able hand for working with soil. Now then, it's time I did my part. Let me show you my powers!"

"Crownow! Rownwo! Crowrown!"

"*gasp gasp""

"You planted so many seeds, and yet my powers could only get one to grow... To think that I have fallen so low! It truly breaks my heart... But soon it will be time to bid my sorrow farewell!"

"Now, human child. I must ask that you pull that Iceroot Carrot free with all your might!"

• If the player chose a field in the Old Cemetery

"I see you have reached one of the fields." / "Are you truly ready to plant the Carrot Seeds?"

"If you plant the seeds in this field, Shaderoot Carrots will grow."

"It has been so long that my memory is hazy, but I believe that my loyal steed would often partake of this sort of vegetable. If Shaderoot Carrots were what my steed preferred, it must have been Ghost type, mustn't it?"

"It's most vexing that I can't recall. I supposed we will see."

"I will ask but once more... Are you sure this is the field in which you want to plant the seeds?"

Yes: "Very well. Then I ask that you plant the seeds."

No: "So you wish to reconsider? Very well... I shall return once you have made your choice."

"Kah hah hah! Very good, very good. You have an able hand for working with soil. Now then, it's time I did my part. Let me show you my powers!"

"Crownow! Rownwo! Crowrown!"

"*gasp gasp""

"You planted so many seeds, and yet my powers could only get one to grow... To think that I have fallen so low! It truly breaks my heart... But soon it will be time to bid my sorrow farewell!"

"Now, human child. I must ask that you pull that Shaderoot Carrot free with all your might!"

• When the player pulls an Iceroot Carrot/Shaderoot Carrot out of field

"Well done, human child! That carrot will be they key to luring my loyal steed back to me. Now all I need are the Reins of Unity. They will amplify my power, letting me ride my loyal steed with ease. But I doubt I shall ever get another set from the humans in the village."

• When Glastrier/Spectrier passes by

"What?! Glastrier/Spectrier, my loyal steed! Is it truly you?! That glistering white pelt/glossy black pelt... That rough, violent gallop... It has not changed from the day we first met! Oh, how this brings back my memories..."

"It is my belief that while my steed picked up on the scent of the carrot, it could not determine where the scent was coming from. Judging from the direction it ran off in, it must be headed to the village, in the attempt to pillage carrots there!"

"If that is true, then Freezington is in danger! Human child, we must make haste!"

Freezington

"Cra-crown!"

(Through Peony): "You have my thanks for protecting the village, human child. Were I at my full power, I could have tamed my steed and regained its loyalty... But weakened as I am now, the most I could do was influence its will and make it depart. If only I had the Reins of Unity! They would have allowed me to tame my steed in short order!

We can make a set!/We need a flower!: "What's that? We can make a set of reins with mane hair from my loyal steed...and a flower that I can grow?!"

"A flower... A flower... Yes, but of course! I had assumed that the humans stopped making the Reins of Unity because they had lost their faith in me..."

"But it was because I lost the power to grow the material needed! I have spent far too long holding my misguided assumptions, it seems. It has been many centuries since I was able to grow a radiant flower. Doing so drains much of my power. But for whatever reason, a fraction of my power seems to have returned to me just now! There is only one thing to be done! Let the radiant flower bloom!"

"Crownus bloomus!"

"Take this, human child."

• When the player receives the Radiant Petal

"*pant pant*"

"It shames me to admit it, but a whole flower is beyond me right now... I do not know if that petal will be enough, but I still must ask that you use it to try to create the Reins of Unity."

"The descendants of the family who once made the reins for me should still live in the village. I put my hopes on you, human child..."

• After the player receives the Reins of Unity

"Human child! Were you able to make the Reins of Unity?"

You bet!: "Oh joy! What glorious news!"

Chief Peony did!: "Indeed? This man has done so much to aid me... I do hope I can repay him sometime."

"I have some good news of my own. I was finally able to track down my loyal steed! Glastrier/Spectrier is making its home in the Crown Shrine! It is a place where my loyal steed and I spent much time together! I had been avoiding the place, as I feared I would get trapped in mine own nostalgia... Why has my loyal steed made the shrine its home? Is it reminiscing about our time together? No, it can't be."

"The Crown Shrine stands majestically atop the mountain to the north. Bring the carrot and the Reins of Unity, and meet me there. I shall hasten there now, but you may come, when you feel you are ready! I am counting on you, child..."

Crown Shrine

"I have been waiting, human child."

"The Crown Shrine is a place I once called home. Glastrier/Spectrier must think me helpless now that I have lost my powers. It taunts me by making its place its own dwelling."

"Ah... I see you have indeed brought me the Reins of Unity. You have my thanks, child."

• After the player gives Calyrex the Reins of Unity

"Ahhh... The feeling of holding these again... The color... The way they shine in the light... Oh, how this brings brings back memories..."

"Glastrier/Spectrier is a very proud Pokémon. One might even call it arrogant. It will not accept me as its master again unless I am prove that my power outweighs its own. I will use the Reins of Unity to pour my power into the very body of my loyal steed. That should convince it that I am indeed still deserving of its loyalty!"

"Now, human child, in order to lure my loyal steed to me... place the Iceroot Carrot/Shaderoot Carrot into the basket near where Glastrier's/Spectrier's made its bed."

• After the player places the Iceroot Carrot/Shaderoot Carrot

"The time has come, human child! But you have successfully defeated my loyal steed once already... It will not willingly approach anyone it considers to be a threat. We must hide and wait for it to appear!"

• After Calyrex tames Glastrier/Spectrier and becomes Ice Rider Calyrex/Shadow Rider Calyrex

"Craw! Rrrownrawn! Rooowwwn crown!"

"Crooown... Crownrown."

"Rowrooowwwn crrrooowwwn."

(Through Peony): "Human child! Thanks to your efforts, I have been reunited with my loyal steed. And now I am finally at my full power!"

"I was convinced that the people no longer believed in me... And I had also lost my loyal steed... I was trapped in the throes of deep loneliness."

"But you saved me. There are truly no words with which to fully express my gratitude to you. So... I have a suggestion. If you are able to catch me even with my powers restored... it will prove your worth beyond any doubt, and I will lend you my strength on your journey. Once you have readied yourself, come face me."

"Ah, but first... I should get this man back to where I found him. It would be no good to let him freeze out in this frigid clime."

• Before battle

"Carown craaawn."

Yes: "Crowon!"

No: "Crmmm..."

• During battle

"Ro crow own!"

• After being caught by the player

(Telepathically): "Human child... No, I should refer to you by your name now. <player>. I look forward to what adventures we might have together."

In spin-off games

Pokémon Masters EX

Story Event - Winter Wishes

• Champion Responsibility
• Possessing Sawyer's body, as "Sawyer?"

"Ah, yes. A sturdy body, just as I expected."

"I hope he doesn't mind that I make use of it for the time being."

• As Calyrex

"Verily. I must say that I am impressed at your composure in this situation... Though I suppose that's indeed why you are a Champion."

"I have borrowed this man's body in order to have a word with you in person...so to speak."

"Your strength is befitting of a king."

"However, I do see how such strength may perhaps become a burden to you."

"You always force yourself to live up to the expectations of those around you...and you busy yourself with fulfilling these obligations."

"This is a remarkable quality of yours–indeed, it is perhaps the reason why you've been a crowned Champion for as long as you have."

"However, the further you push yourself to greater heights, the harder others will struggle to keep up with you."

"You should reflect on this...as once something precious has been lost, it may be too late to get it back."

"By isolating yourself, you may be making others lonely."

"It takes a significant amount of time and effort to regain what has once been lost."

"And remember, it is also possible that something lost may never return."

"I did notice that you seemed to be in a hurry while delivering your presents."

"If that is so..."

"Very well. I will do my best to support you in this endeavor."
