At some point over the next two years, [[Alder]] decided to resign as champion of the Pokémon League and wanted Iris to challenge him for the title. Iris managed to defeat him and win the championship, with her following conversation with Drayden being depicted in a Memory Link flashback during ''[[Pokémon: Black and White Versions 2|Black and White 2]]''. Drayden reminisced about their time together and gave her some new clothes to wear as champion.

In ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'', she made a few small appearances before being challenged. She first showed up at Castelia City, where she helped [[Nate/Rosa]] to look for Team Plasma members and Burgh, though she was confused due to believing that Team Plasma had disbanded. Afterwards, she ran into the trainer again at Opelucid City, where she told them about Brycen and her connection to him. | In ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'', she made a few small appearances before being challenged.

− | *Iris | + | *Iris appeared in the Pokémon anime's ''Black'' and ''White'' series, where she is featured as one of the main characters due to becoming one of Ash's for his adventures in [[Unova]], with the other companion being [[Cilan]]. She is shown as a hyperactive and adventurous girl who is at home in the wilderness. It was later revealed that she came from the Village of Dragons and was enrolled in Drayden's school at Opelucid when he took an interest in her. However, she felt homesick and ran away, eventually choosing to go on a journey and try to become a Dragon Master. A pair of episodes featured her meeting Drayden again and having an enjoyable rematch with him. Though she lost, he told her that she would be Opelucid's new gym leader one day. At the end of the Unova-based series, Iris left Ash to continue her own journey and spent some time in [[Johto]], where she met and battled [[Clair]]. |

*In ''Black 2''/''White 2'', Iris was the only champion from all of the generations released at that point to not compete in the Pokémon World Championship (and the only other gym leader to be excluded was [[Koga]]). This is possibly due to focusing on her duties as a champion. | *In ''Black 2''/''White 2'', Iris was the only champion from all of the generations released at that point to not compete in the Pokémon World Championship (and the only other gym leader to be excluded was [[Koga]]).
