Why are Ash and Serena the worst? I mean they met as kids, they've had plenty of moments where they inspired and encouraged each other, they've shown concern for each other, they've made a great team.

Iris spent most of the adventure being hypocritical and generally just a jerk towards Ash. Iris may have redeeming qualities however she's made fun of Ash for not knowing his Pidove's gender, for showing excitement towards rides even though he is still a kid, for not knowing the champion of the region Ash does not live in etc.,

Like Misty could sometimes go a little too far with her jokes but at first she had a genuine reason to be a little snippy because she's the Gym Leader and Ash was a complete newby. At least Misty told Ash when he did a good job in a Gym Battle and if she ever went too far Brock would say something like, "Misty, cool it."
