If we were to skip ahead of the non existent plot for the Villain Iris AU, how do you think Iris would be revealed to be Team Plasmas new leader? I can think of a few scenarios myself
You know how she was the one to steal the DNA Splicers? What if she made the mistake of going straight for them when in the house? Like I highly doubt Drayden was just telling anyone where he is hiding the Splicers in his house. He probably trusted Iris enough to tell her where exactly they were hidden. And Iris made the mistake of not trashing the interior to make it look like someone was searching every inch of the house for them. At first Drayden didn’t think about how his house looked when Iris and the Shadow Triad disappeared, but looking back he realized that whoever took the DNA Splicers is someone who knew the exact location. Drayden doesn’t want to point fingers but he knows deep down he has to tell the League about the few people who know the location, even if it means Iris is now a suspect
Another could be a complete accident during a battle. Like Iris only has a hood to conceal her identity, (give her a mask or something 😭 or maybe even just a mask you wear over your mouth, I like her red glowy eyes) so if someone were to get close enough to pull her hood off then her whole identity is shown. So imagine if her friends are protecting another city/town that she’s attacking while watching from above. And Hilbert gets pissed off on how “the new leader stays in the safety of her ship” and taunts her about it, calling her a coward for never coming out of her ship to attack. Of course Iris isn’t going to take that slander, even from her best friend, and calls back Kyurem to fly her down to where the group is waiting. And I really don’t know how but they end up distracting Iris long enough for.. idk N or Hilbert to tackle her to the ground or smth? And just her hood is down, her face has been revealed, and she’s glaring right at them. The stark difference between Iris’ glares and N/Hilberts shocked and horrified face. Course Iris gets away when the Shadow Triad appears and rips N/Hilbert off of her and the four disappear, leaving her friends with the horrifying discovery of who the leader is
This last one is my favourite just because I love big dramatic reveals. What if she reveals her identity herself, on live tv across Unova. Having the speech in the middle of one of the biggest cities. She does it after Unova is mostly a frozen waste land. Crops can’t grow so food is scarce, people and Pokémon have frozen to death during her attacks, Team Plasma won’t allow people to leave the region, the League has given up all hope of defeating Team Plasma, everyone fears for their safety, even her Friends know they can’t beat Kyurem, and everyone pleads to the Leader of Team Plasma to spare their lives. And that’s when Iris gets a live broadcast to go all over Unova to every device available. Starting her speech in front of a camera and many Team Plasma members, talking about the conditions of the region, how everyone is lacking food, the temperatures have dropped below, many of their loved ones have died, and how their safety is at risk. But she tells them that they could have food again, she can get rid off the ice, she can make sure their safe. She’s their god, of course she’s allowed to chose what she can provide them
If she becomes their Leader. The one and only ruler of Unova. She can reverse the damage she has done, and god people almost instantly gave in. They want their safety and if she says she won’t attack them no more if she gets what she wants then so be it. Unova is now in the hands of a single person and her army
But GOOODDD the absolute horror the people of Unova (and probably others watching the live from other regions) felt when their new leader takes off her hood (and mask ig if we’re giving her one?) and reveals herself to be none other than Champion Iris. The one person who was supposed to protect the region, not destroy it
The last one I—
HOW CAN I BE NORMAL AND LISTEN TO CLASS W THIS IN MIND YO THATS CJMDBCMDNCJD THATS SO DOPE
Okay yeah we'll give Iris like,, a mask and such bc I was gonna add it in the drawing I just forgot and I knew I forgot smth while drawing her omf cjdmcn
But YO CJDMCBMDNFNDBDMDBDND
Please the other Champions watching her broadcast tho, they're all so fucking devastated, they knew there was smth off, they knew they should've intervened, but they also don't wanna undermine Iris, as she was so adamant she has everything under control, that she'll take care of Plasma, that she's going to stop them, they should've known that was just a lie. They should've fucking known
And idk I just imagine it like that one scene in bnha idk if you know that, but that scene w Dabi broadcasting how Endeavour was an abusive dad and such and everyone fucking saw it.
Like imagine cbmdnd
IMAGINE DRAYDEN WATCHING THO AND HAVING THE SAME FACE AS REI HERE NCMXNDM
Like imagine Iris just looking somber and such, a farcry from what she's like as the leader of Plasma. And she's there sitting on a couch, facing the camera, she's wearing her Plasma boss clothes, but she's also wearing that crown she has. And she's telling everyone why she ended up doing the things she did. She's going on abt how people never liked her even when she was young, how no matter how hard she tried, she was never enough for the people. And it went on, how she hears how people speak so lowly of her, how they don't even see her as a Gym Leader back then, and how they never saw her as a Champion now. They only see her as a Champion when she wins tournaments, they only see her as a Champion when they need her, but once they're done, once they get what they want, they disregard her like she's nothing, their hatred once again flooding her ears.
And then she went on how no one even tried to see it in her perspective, how no matter how hard she tries to explain it, they'd say how she's just making excuses. She went on how when she patrols Unova the people would get mad at why she's not at the League doing her Champion duties, and when she's in the League, they'd get mad that she always stays there and not help the Unovan people. No matter what she does, no one will ever be satisfied w what she's doing. Nothin she ever does is right. No one ever tried to help her. Almost everyone in Unova underestimate her, they look down on her, they didn't give her at least a bit of respect, only doing so when she's w other people.
And she got so sick of it.
"but.. don't you think it's only fair?" She said, a smile forming on her face now, eyes half lidded as if bored, "that you would also feel the same pain I went through?" Everyone was watching w bated breath, Iris leaned in a bit, grinning, smirking, going on how it's really their fault she killed people, how it's their fault that she was driven to that point in her life she ended up taking other peoples' lives as well, how it's all their fault why they couldn't just stop and think how fucked up it actually was, giving a child that much hate that she never felt the love of the people in her region.
Everyone was cold and distant to her when she called out for help, so why can't she just return the favour? It's only fair.
