I didn't like Misty/ Ash friendship either, paticular during the first series. Any one that picks on Ash none stop is not a good friend. That's why my favorite Ash friendship is Ash x Serena and Ash x Dawn. The thing that bugged me though most about Iris and others as well I'd her calling him a kid when she was more of a rookie than what she considered Ash.I have always thought they had an interesting dynamic to them. Their friendship was sort of like the one with Misty with the occasional bickering but still had sense of a true connection. Cilian was the one in the group whose friendship seemed the weakest in my own opinion. Iris may have called Ash “a little kid” several times but that doesn’t mean that she wasn’t his friend. Misty had said similar things to Ash during the OS and she even nagged him constantly after the first episode about her bike until Togepi hatched and preoccupied her mind with needing to constantly care for the baby Pokémon. My main issue was that Iris didn’t really seem to do much with training Axew to become stronger and get closer to evolving into a Haxorus.
