{{ | On their way to the [[Vertress Conference]] in [[Vertress City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop in {{an|Iris}}'s hometown, the [[Village of Dragons]]. There, they meet Iris's childhood friend [[Shannon]], and the two girls share a happy reunion. Soon, two {{p|Zweilous}} appear, and Shannon explains that she is taking care of them. Iris then goes to see the [[Elder|Village Elder]], who judges the progress made by Iris and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and congratulates Iris on her work. Upon the request of two other villagers, Iris brings out her {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}, but Dragonite immediately starts a battle with a nearby {{p|Haxorus}}. After both Pokémon are calmed down by the Elder, Iris and her friends go to see Shannon. | ||
{{ | |||
Shannon is happy to see the group again, but one of the Zweilous appears to be ill. They go in for some lunch, and Shannon brings Zweilous in as well so she can keep an eye on it. However, Shannon expresses her doubt and disappointment at living in the Village of Dragons all the time, believing herself to be untalented and ordinary compared with Iris, to which Ash, Iris, and Cilan immediately assuage her fears. Just as Iris encourages Shannon to start a journey herself, one of the Zweilous begins crying out in alarm and leads the group over to a lake just as the other Zweilous begins its evolution into {{p|Hydreigon}}. | |||
Although Iris, Shannon, and the others are happy at first, the newly evolved Hydreigon looks into the river and sees its reflection. Startled, Hydreigon releases a {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack that causes mayhem elsewhere in the Village of Dragons. After attacking both Shannon and the other Zweilous, Hydreigon continues thrashing about in midair. Thinking quickly, Iris has Dragonite and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} drive Hydreigon into a place where it is surrounded on three sides by cliffs. Iris then calls out Axew and {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to help, and they use {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Focus Blast}} to break through Hydreigon's protection before Iris scales the cliff. | |||
Now behind Hydreigon, Iris leaps onto its back, but is immediately hurled off, and tries again with similar results. Although Ash and Cilan try to help her, the Elder arrives and insists that they do not involve themselves in Iris's battle. Axew and Excadrill use Dragon Rage and Focus Blast again to distract Hydreigon, and Iris jumps for a third time. This time, she manages to cling to Hydreigon's neck, but its two smaller heads bite Iris painfully on each wrist. Iris momentarily yells out in pain, but she soon regains control and strokes Hydreigon gently, reassuring it that she understands its fright at evolving and at how much power it now has. With Hydreigon calmed down, Iris returns it to the care of Shannon and Zweilous. | |||
After gratefully receiving the Elder's compliments, Iris is confronted by [[Drayden]], who, as far as Iris knows, was up until this point unaware that Iris ran away, although both the Elder and Drayden know that it was their intention for Iris to go on a journey in the first place. Drayden remarks on Iris's growth and announces to her that he will wait at the [[Opelucid City]] [[Opelucid Gym|Gym]] for her to come and show him how much stronger she has become. As Drayden leaves, Shannon finally finds the courage to ask the Elder for permission to go on her own journey, to which the Elder happy agrees. | |||
