'''Iris''' (Japanese: '''アイリス''' ''Iris'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. She was one of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Opelucid City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Opelucid Gym]], giving out the {{badge|Legend}}, in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}}. Two years later, in {{B2W2}}, she is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Unova]] [[region]]'s [[Unova League|Pokémon League]]. | |||
In {{ | ==In the core series games== | ||
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 | In White, she is also revealed to be the [[Gym Leader]] of Opelucid City's Gym, which is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with {{TM|82|Dragon Tail}}. She reappears at [[N's Castle]] where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]]. During summer, she also visits [[Cynthia]] at Caitlin's villa in [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders. | ||
In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Iris first appears in Castelia City, helping the player look for Team Plasma. She later | In Black, after defeating the [[Pokémon_League_(Unova)|Pokémon League]], she will teach {{m|Draco Meteor}} to the player's {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon if they have full [[friendship]]. She can be found on the first floor of [[Drayden]]'s home in Opelucid City. | ||
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. | |||

[[File:PS516.png|thumb|230px|Young Iris meeting Drayden]] | |||
===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==== | |||
====={{MangaArc|Black & White}}===== | |||
[[File:Iris Drayden Adventures.png|left|thumb|250px|Iris in Pokémon Adventures]] | |||
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 ''[[PS498|Decisions, Decisions]]'', Iris reunited with Black during his {{pkmn|training}} with [[Brycen]]. There, she revealed that she was training with Drayden to become a Dragon-type expert. Black found it hard to believe her claims, annoying Iris into requesting a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden left to do his own business and told Iris to stay with Black for the duration of his training in hopes that she would learn from it as well. After Black finished his training and Gym battle with Brycen, Iris reluctantly informed him that the {{un|Pokémon League}}'s opening date had been pushed up from three months to a week. | |||
The stress of potentially failing to enter in the League caused Black to panic and run away with Iris following after him. In ''[[PS508|The Lesson Ends Here]]'', Iris and Black found Alder battling {{adv|N}} on {{rt|6|Unova}}. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated. | |||
In ''[[PS512|Hallway Hijinks]]'', Iris competed in the Unova Pokémon League, eventually making it to the Top 8. To Black's surprise, Iris had already obtained all eight Gym Badges before their encounter during Black's training with Brycen. In ''[[PS514|The Tournament Continues]]'', Iris faced [[Zinzolin|Gray]] in the quarterfinals. Despite the type advantage his {{p|Cryogonal}} had, Iris's {{p|Fraxure}} managed to defeat it with a powerful {{m|Rock Smash}}, allowing Iris to advance to the next round. In ''[[PS516|One Way or Another]]'', Iris faced Black in the semifinals. Though she was determined to defeat N and avenge Alder, Iris's newly-evolved {{p|Haxorus}} was defeated by Black's [[Costa]], eliminating her from the tournament. Black assured Iris that he shared her goal and promised to take down N and Team Plasma. | |||
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. | |||
[[File:Iris B2W2 chapter.png|thumb|270px|Iris in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}]] | |||
====={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}===== | |||
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. | ||
In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, causing it to fall. After preventing a large amount of liberated Pokémon from plummeting towards the ground, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram before leaving. Iris, Black, and White rode on Reshiram's back to chase after the ship, which eventually crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting the building on fire and putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Black and the others combined the might of {{m|Fire Pledge|Fire}}, {{m|Water Pledge|Water}}, and {{m|Grass Pledge}}, successfully dousing the flames. | |||
{{ | |||
In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', Iris attended the [[Aspertia City]] [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] graduation ceremony, where she watched the students graduate. | |||

Iris (Japanese: アイリス Iris) is a Dragon-type Trainer. She was one of the Gym Leaders of Opelucid City's Gym, known officially as the Opelucid Gym, giving out the Legend Badge, in Pokémon White. Two years later, in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, she is the Champion of the Unova region's Pokémon League.
In the core series games
Iris appears in Pokémon Black and White. 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 White, she is also revealed to be the Gym Leader of Opelucid City's Gym, which is the eighth to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Iris will receive the Legend Badge, along with TM82 (Dragon Tail). She reappears at N's Castle where she and the other Unova Gym Leaders hold off the Seven Sages. During summer, she also visits Cynthia at Caitlin's villa in Undella Town, as do the other female Gym Leaders.
In Black, after defeating the Pokémon League, she will teach Draco Meteor to the player's Dragon-type Pokémon if they have full friendship. She can be found on the first floor of Drayden's home in Opelucid City.
In Black 2 and 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 Champion, replacing Alder. After 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.

Iris was a traveling partner of Ash Ketchum for the duration of Pokémon the Series: Black & White. She was assigned to go on a journey of growth and maturity, and she subsequently left her home in the Village of Dragons to raise an Axew as well as achieve emotional growth herself.

In the manga
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 Master 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
Black & White arc
Iris debuted in Big City Battles. She first informed Burgh that 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 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 Decisions, Decisions, Iris reunited with Black during his training with Brycen. There, she revealed that she was training with Drayden to become a Dragon-type expert. Black found it hard to believe her claims, annoying Iris into requesting a battle with Drayden, only to be easily swatted away and defeated. Later, Drayden left to do his own business and told Iris to stay with Black for the duration of his training in hopes that she would learn from it as well. After Black finished his training and Gym battle with Brycen, Iris reluctantly informed him that the Pokémon League's opening date had been pushed up from three months to a week.
The stress of potentially failing to enter in the League caused Black to panic and run away with Iris following after him. In The Lesson Ends Here, Iris and Black found Alder battling N on Route 6. Despite Alder's strength, he was eventually defeated.
In Hallway Hijinks, Iris competed in the Unova Pokémon League, eventually making it to the Top 8. To Black's surprise, Iris had already obtained all eight Gym Badges before their encounter during Black's training with Brycen. In The Tournament Continues, Iris faced Gray in the quarterfinals. Despite the type advantage his Cryogonal had, Iris's Fraxure managed to defeat it with a powerful Rock Smash, allowing Iris to advance to the next round. In One Way or Another, Iris faced Black in the semifinals. Though she was determined to defeat N and avenge Alder, Iris's newly-evolved Haxorus was defeated by Black's Costa, eliminating her from the tournament. Black assured Iris that he shared her goal and promised to take down N and Team Plasma.
In 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 Team Plasma Grunts 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 Zekrom flew off to parts unknown.
Black 2 & White 2 arc
In 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 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 Champion of Unova. In Giant Chasm, Iris and Gorm met Black, White, Blake, and 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 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.
In The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition, an explosion tore the Plasma Frigate apart, causing it to fall. After preventing a large amount of liberated Pokémon from plummeting towards the ground, Kyurem separated itself from Reshiram before leaving. Iris, Black, and White rode on Reshiram's back to chase after the ship, which eventually crashed into the abandoned N's Castle, setting the building on fire and putting the Pokémon Team Plasma left behind at risk. Black and the others combined the might of Fire, Water, and Grass Pledge, successfully dousing the flames.
In Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony, Iris attended the Aspertia City Trainers' School graduation ceremony, where she watched the students graduate.
