[[Ash]], {{an|Iris}}, and {[an|Cilan}} arrive in [[Opelucid City]], site of Iris' Gym Battle against the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Drayden]]. Iris isn't in a good mood, and the boys ask her if she's okay. Even though she replied yes, she left them in order to climb to the top of the city's radio tower, just before [[Officer Jenny]] appeared, demanding of her to climb down immediately. After a bit of arguing, Iris returns to the surface and is scolded by the Officer. As soon as all this is over, the gang arrives at the Opelucid Academy, a prestigious school about Pokemon types, hosted in Opelucid City. It is also revealed that Drayden is the principal. Drayden notices the three, and asks Iris if anything is okay after the incident before. Iris replies positively, and Drayden leaves with his assistant, telling Iris that they should meet soon at the [[Opelucid Gym]]. Just then, the school's caretaker, [[Martha]] appears and guides the gang inside. | |||
While having lunch, Martha and Iris describe the latter's life as student. Apparently, Iris left the [[Village of Dragons]] after her loss to Drayden, enrolling in the Opelucid Academy's {{t|Dragon}}-type course. However, the city life and student's attitude did not match Iris' personality, and she quickly became depressed. Initially, she was even unwilling to eat, until Martha found out her favourite food to cheer her up. Iris also reveals the reason she climbed the radio tower earlier. She regularly did that in her school days, in order to get fresh air and "feel the Village of Dragons". Officer Jenny, of course, was always there to scold her. | |||
Soon, the gang enter Iris' former dorm, which is currently vacant. They notice that she has made drawings of all her friends back at her hometown in the walls. Finally, Iris says that after lots of postcards from [[Shannon]], she got nostalgic over her village, and secretly left school in order to return. This was also the reason she avoided Opelucid and Drayden taht much all this time. | |||
With her issues with the past dealt with, Iris and her friends finally head to the Gym, as she is more than ready to challenge Drayden to a battle. This time, it will be a two on two match. Drayden starts up with [[Haxorus]], while Iris sends out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}, hoping that she will fare better this time. Indeed, the battle goes on exactly the way it did the first time. However, in the end, instead of a {{m|Rock Smash}} collision, Excadrill uses {{m|Focus Blast}}, holding Haxorus back. In the end, they collide with {{m|Giga Impact}} and {{m|Drill Run}} respectively, and their matchup ends in a tie. Both Trainers are satisfied from it, and Drayden congratulates Iris for her progress. | |||
The battle is one on one, Drayden's [[Druddigon]] against Iris' {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}. Even though the latter has the aerial advantage, Iris decides (upon Dragonite's wishes) to not use it, making it a fair play match. Unfortunately for Iris, Dragonite's powerful attacks were blocked by Druddigon's arms. Iris decides to finish the match with a {{m|Dragon Rush}}, but Druddigon used {{m|Counter}} to return the damage, finish the match with a decisive {{m|Dragon Tail}}, giving Drayden the win. Even though Iris lost, she receives a praise from Drayden and leaves the Gym happy and exhilerated. | |||
Before departure, Martha says that Iris' goal of becoming a Dragon Master is far from achieved, and that she should continue journeying until she reaches that point. In fact, even the Village [[Elder]] and Drayden agree with that, and Iris finally realized that Drayden had no problem with her leaving school. Let alone, they want her to become the next Opelucid Gym Leader. Iris is surprised by that, and says that she wants her time, before her and her friends leaving Opelucid for good. | |||
In the end, Ash tells Iris that he will not fall behind her, as he is going to win the [[Unova League]]. | |||
