Iris appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In both versions, she shows up in [[Castelia City]] to aid the {{player}}, [[Burgh]], and [[Bianca]] when Bianca's Munna is stolen. During this time, she acts as Bianca's bodyguard.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later reappears in Opelucid City but leaves shortly after meeting the player. Iris's primary role in these games is finally revealed to be that of the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, replacing [[Alder]]. After {{pkmn|training}} extensively under Drayden, she battled and defeated Alder after he retired as Champion, gaining the title for herself. As a gift for her victory, Drayden gave her new clothes to replace the ones he had given her after bringing her to Unova.

:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Madame Scale. Thank yooou! 'I'm from Opelucid City, and I just went home for the first time in a long time. I saw [[Drayden]] and Iris counting up a big handful of coins! Isn't that setting a bad example for kids, flaunting your wealth like that?' Hmmm... That's living the high life! But you know, the Opelucid Gym Badge is shiny like a coin... Maybe you saw wrong? 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''

Iris was a {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of [[Ash Ketchum]] for the duration of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''. She was assigned to go on a {{pkmn|journey}} of growth and maturity, and she subsequently left her home in the [[Village of Dragons]] to raise an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} as well as achieve emotional growth herself. When she met Ash near [[Nuvema Town]], she allegedly decided to travel with him as a sort of guide since he was considered new to the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Eventually, she officially decided to accompany him after {{an|Cilan}} suggested the three of them should stick together. Her ultimate goal is to become a [[Type expert|Dragon Master]].

===Pokémon Adventures===

In this series, Iris is not the Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym, but is simply the apprentice of [[Drayden]]. She originally lived in [[Blackthorn City]], also known as the [[Village of Dragons]], where she trained to become a master of Dragon-types. Much to Iris's chagrin, the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} of the Dragon Tamer clan had Drayden come to take her to Unova so that he could tutor her. After arriving in Unova, Drayden introduced Iris to [[Alder]], who would also become her teacher and taught her about spirituality.

====History====

Iris debuted in ''[[PS478|Big City Battles]]''. She first informed [[Burgh]] that {{adv|Black}} arrived to challenge his Gym. After accidentally insulting his newest art piece, Iris cheered Burgh up by complimenting the smell of honey on his body. Later, Iris took an unconscious {{adv|Bianca}} to the [[Castelia Gym]], where she revealed the girl was attacked and had her Pokémon stolen. With Black's detective abilities, the group found the thieves were [[Team Plasma]] and managed to retrieve all of the Pokémon they had stolen.

In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma launched their attack on the Pokémon League by summoning [[N's Castle]] from the depths of the earth. The castle surrounded the League building while several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s emerged and cornered everyone. Iris and Drayden worked together to protect innocent bystanders from the Grunts. After Team Plasma was defeated, Iris and the others watched as N and {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}} flew off to parts unknown.

In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Drayden revealed that he made Iris Leader of the [[Opelucid Gym]] so he could focus on dealing with Team Plasma's resurgence.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Iris, Alder, and [[Gorm]] worked together to break out of the [[White Treehollow]], which had been frozen solid by the [[Plasma Frigate]], in the process revealing that Iris had succeeded Alder as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Unova. In ''[[PS546|Giant Chasm]]'', Iris and Gorm met Black, {{adv|White}}, {{adv|Blake}}, and {{adv|Whitley}} at the [[Giant Chasm]]. She revealed that during the past two years, she had regathered the eight Badges, challenged the [[Elite Four]], and trained with Alder, N, Gorm, and [[Benga]] at the White Treehollow. She had managed to defeat both Alder and N, proving herself worthy of becoming the new Champion. Hearing this, Black swore to defeat Iris one day. The group was then attacked by [[Colress]], who told {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} to freeze the surrounding area. When Kyurem stopped listening to Colress, [[Rood]] appeared, revealing his allies used a machine to disrupt the [[Colress Machine]]'s effect. With Team Plasma's influence on it severed, Kyurem began rampaging, first releasing the [[Dark Stone]] before absorbing Reshiram to become White Kyurem. While Iris, Black, and White fought Kyurem, Blake chased after Colress while Whitley went to the Plasma Frigate to rescue N, who was held captive aboard the vessel.

==Trivia==

* In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the only differences between Iris and [[Drayden]]'s teams are the genders of their Pokémon and their {{p|Druddigon}}'s and {{p|Haxorus}}'s {{Abilities}}: Iris has an all-female team and her Druddigon has {{a|Sheer Force}} and her Haxorus has {{a|Mold Breaker}}, while Drayden has an all-male team and his Druddigon has {{a|Rough Skin}} and his Haxorus has {{a|Rivalry}}.

** In White, Iris's Druddigon has no moves that take advantage of Sheer Force.

* Iris is the first character in any [[core series]] game to have a full-body challenge sprite.

* Iris is the only Champion to not use any Pokémon that evolve from ones that take 20 [[egg cycles]] to hatch, with the lowest being 30 (for Druddigon and Archeops).
