That actually sounds more interesting than contests and fits her wild personality better.That problem also existed with Contests; the writers simply tacked on the battle round. Granted, they eventually found a way to make the battles seem connected to the appeals, but that wasn't always the case.
It has occurred to me that Iris may promote the High Link feature where players complete various missions. Now, the in-game missions revealed up till now all have to with items, but the anime wouldn't have to be faithful in that regard.
Some of the missions are just normal battles, so if nothing more Iris' quest could have her compete with strangers, which is something that Ash rarely does. Furthermore, she could also find random partners for tag battles. Finally, the missions could have Iris actively stop Team Plasma, rather than accidentally bump into them on her merry way to the next town.
