Young Iris leaving the Village of Dragons for Opelucid School

In the Pokémon anime, the Village of Dragons is a village in the Unova region located near Opelucid City. It is the hometown of Iris and Shannon.

The Village of Dragons is a place where people raise and admire Dragon-type Pokémon. An elder who lives there will also give out Axew for Trainers to raise into Haxorus. It was first mentioned by Iris in The Bloom Is on Axew! when she explained how she obtained her Axew.

Statues of the Legendary Reshiram and Zekrom were built in the center of the village to commemorate them.

Dragon Pokémon roam around the village freely, such as Axew and its evolved form, Fraxure. Not all the Pokémon here are Dragon type though: other Pokémon such as Drilbur live here as well.

Every year, there is a Pokémon battle tournament that Iris and her Excadrill were seen competing at. Iris competed in it one time and did very well. She felt confident enough to challenge Drayden to a battle, but Drayden and his Haxorus easily overpowered her and won.

According to Iris, most people from the village dream to become a Dragon Master.

Ash and his friends visited the village in A Village Homecoming!.
