Obaba resides near Souryuu City where she raises Dragon type Pokémon like Kibago. She gave Iris a day old hatched Kibago and told her to raise it well so it would be a strong Pokémon. Ash Ketchum asked Iris if Obaba was her Grandma but she replied and told him that she wasn't but she was one of the greatest and well respected people in her village.

In BW58, Iris recalled an event to Monozu that she witnessed in the Dragon Village where she saw Elder befriend a Crimgan that got lost and somehow found its way into the Village. The Crimgan absolutely refused to get along with other Dragon types and the people of the Village. For days and days, the Crimgan wouldn't come out from deep within the cave. The Elder waited for Crimgan at the entrance of the cave the whole time and she tried to make the Crimgan open its heart to her, by talking to it like the way Iris was talking to Monozu to gain its trust and friendship. After several days had passed, Crimgan came out of the cave. All the Elder had done was talk to it and still, she managed to free it from its insecurities.
