Iris travels alongside Ash and Cilan, aiding Keldeo in its struggle against Kyurem. Drawing on wisdom from a Village of Dragons elder, she recounts Kyurem’s legend as the mightiest Dragon-type Pokémon, capable of morphing into Black or White Kyurem by harnessing energy from Reshiram and Zekrom.

When the Swords of Justice require rescue, she seizes a museum zeppelin to divert Kyurem and its Cryogonal forces, buying time for allies to breach a collapsing mine. Her tactical ingenuity surfaces again as she charts escape routes through subway tunnels and manipulates mechanisms to clear obstacles.

Though she playfully chides Ash and Keldeo as “little kids” after their hasty eating leads to mishaps, her demeanor shifts in critical moments. She balances this lightheartedness with decisive leadership, emphasizing collaboration and methodical strategy when confronting escalating threats.
