She specializes in Dragon-type Pokémon. |

− | Iris was born in the | + | Iris was born in a village (with the implication that something happened to the village), and apparently wound up being raised by Dragon-type Pokémon in an unspecified forest. The details of how she ended up in this situation as well as how she eventually joined civilization are uncertain, but she eventually wound up in Opelucid City. There, the gym leader [[Drayden]] took her under his wing and trained her to one day replaced him as Opelucid's gym leader because of the bright future he saw in her. She also had her own coach to help her. Iris was confident enough to refer to herself as being an "amazing strong" trainer and was usually full of joy. She mentioned sometimes looking back on her village, but that it was okay because meeting various Pokémon and people made her happier. |
− | + | In ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions]]''. Iris first encountered the protagonist in Castelia City. She happened to overhear [[Bianca]] screaming when a [[Team Plasma]] grunt was stealing her [[Munna]], but she arrived too late to help her. Iris decided to remain by Bianca's side and act as her bodyguard for the time being. They met up with [[Black/White]] and [[Burgh]], and together they were able to pursue a grunt to Team Plasma's latest hideout. There they found [[Ghetsis]] and [[Bronius]], who talked about Team Plasma's goals but wound up returning Bianca's Pokémon to her without a fight. Iris gave Black/White a Yache Berry and then began tutoring Bianca until she could take care of herself. | |
− | + | Iris later returned to Opelucid. Black/White and [[Alder]] met up with her and [[Drayden]] following a public Team Plasma rally in the city. They all spurred Team Plasma's beliefs that Pokémon should be permanently separated from Pokémon trainers. Iris believed that people and Pokémon truly benefited from each other and claimed that she would never forgive Team Plasma for trying to take them away. At Alder's request, they then explained the legend of the legendary Dragon-types [[Reshiram]] and [[Zekrom]] to Black/White due to [[N]] having taken control of one of them for Team Plasma. | |
− | + | In ''Black'', Iris remained at the house while Black/White engaged Drayden in a gym match. In ''White'', Drayden sent Iris to the gym to battle them instead. Iris was excited to face the challenger and expressed a strong curiosity for what kinds of Pokémon challengers used and how they used them. After being defeated, she surrendered the Legend Badge and TM82: Dragon Tail. Iris was happy to fight a trainer as strong as her, but she also wondered how Alder was doing against N and gave Black/White directions to the Pokémon League, which pressed the trainer to continue on their journey. [[Cheren]] and Bianca also defeated her soon afterwards. | |

In both versions, Bianca came to all the gyms calling for help when N's Castle arose at the Pokémon League. Both Drayden and Iris responded to the call, storming the castle with six of the other gym leaders just in time to hold off six of Team Plasma's Seven Sages. She then returned to Drayden's home in ''Black'' or the gym in ''White''. In ''Black'', she acted as a Move Tutor at this point and would tutor Draco Meteor to any Dragon-type Pokémon that had a high happiness level. | In both versions, Bianca came to all the gyms calling for help when N's Castle arose at the Pokémon League.

− | *Iris | + | *Iris appears in the Pokémon anime's ''Black'' and ''White'' series, where she is featured as one of the main characters due to becoming one of Ash's new companions for the trip through Unova (following the tradition of previous female companions but particularly [[Misty]] due to being a gym leader instead of a rookie trainer). Their group was eventually rounded out by [[Cilan]]. She is shown as a hyperactive and adventurous girl who is at home in the wilderness. Her reasons for joining Ash, the details of her past, and whether or not this interpretation is a gym leader yet is not known. |
