Relationships

One of the most popular ships for Iris is NegaiShipping (Ash/Iris), which gained some support even before the anime series aired. However, NegaiShippers receive much opposition from PokéShippers, AdvanceShippers, and PearlShippers, who resent Iris for taking their respective character's place as Ash's female traveling companion.

WishfulShipping is another popular pairing, which pairs Iris with Cilan, her and Ash's other traveling companion and another Gym Leader in the region.
