Iris (game)

Iris (Japanese: アイリス Iris) is the 8th and last Gym Leader of the Isshu region. She lives in Souryuu City in Pokemon White. Iris specializes in -type Pokemon.

Anime
Iris is a wild girl Ash meets while he is traveling Isshu. Ash first encounters Iris by mistaking her as a Pokemon and throwing a Poke ball at her head. Her goal is yet unknown but she appears to be a wild child and has been seen swinging from vines in forests in order to get from place to place, and that's why she doesn't need a bike.

Iris, like Ash and Dawn, seems to have her partner Pokémon stay out of its Poké Ball on most occasions. Her partner Pokémon being Kibago, the Tusk Pokémon. However, despite the fact it doesn't go into its Poké Ball, Kibago does jump into Iris' hair whenever Iris decides to actively go somewhere.
