:Iris blushes slightly upon meeting Ash and throughout most of the episode. Later on, after {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}} are stolen by Team Rocket, Ash jumps up and falls down to the ground. Iris immediately jumps down from the tree, asking if Ash is all right, rather than trying to save the Pokémon. Iris also later thanks Ash for saving Axew, even though it was {{AP|Oshawott}} who saved him. Iris tells Ash that because of his actions she has started to change her view of him and she starts traveling with him.

:Iris marvels at how Ash saved and treated the Tepig before capturing it.  

:During Ash's gym battle with {{an|Cilan}}, [[Chili]], and [[Cress]], while the brothers' fans stayed on one side of the arena to cheer on the Gym Leaders, Iris stays on the opposing side and quite blatantly gazes at Ash with a look that could easily be interpreted as attraction or cool admiration (among others, both positive and negative, given she's been calling him a "kid" up until now, and not kindly).

:During the battle between Iris and Cilan, Iris seems to pay just as much attention to Ash as the battle at hand. Most of the time she and Ash argue over battle strategies and why she isn't battling him. Iris was too busy arguing to tell Axew how to counterattack, and it ended up taking a {{m|SolarBeam}} at close range. Throughout the episode Iris is surprised that Ash wants to battle her so much.

:On several different occasions when Ash was in mortal danger, Iris screamed his name with obvious strain in her voice. Meanwhile Cilan and [[Tuttle]] didn't say a thing.

:Ash seems a little disappointed when Iris was missing the morning after their meeting.

:After his battle with Cilan, Ash happily shows his badge to Iris and asks her opinion. Iris criticizes Ash for his choices in battle and he is upset, not expecting that answer from her. Also, Ash seems to be upset when Iris declares that he and she are not traveling together and takes off on her own.

:When Team Rocket steals Axew and {{p|Druddigon}}, Iris uses her senses to try and find the two. When Iris finds out where they are, Cilan and {{an|Amy}} doubt Iris and think that she is going the wrong way. Ash assures Amy that because of Iris's senses that they would find Axew and Druddigon. Ash tells them that he will believe in Iris and follows after her. This shows that Ash has confidence in Iris's abilities and her bond with Axew.
