Izzy awoke bright and early. She forgot she slept in her clothes the night before. Izzy grabbed her purple purse and headed downstairs to find cyndaquill eating Pokémon food her mother had made. After cyndaquill finished eating he hopped back on Izzy's shoulder. They headed out the door. As they reached Flame forest once more Izzy found a wild Eevee. "Cyndaquill use ember!" at Izzys command cyndaquill leaps from her shoulder attacking the wild eevee. The eevee let out a loud cry as it grew weak.
Izzy threw a poke-ball at the eevee. She held her breath as the poke-ball moved. Once it stopped moving Izzy went over to pick it up. She picked it up and cyndaquill cheered. She stuck the newly caught Pokémon in her bag. With two Pokémon at her side now she headed back to Magby Village. As Izzy walked she said aloud "I wonder why they call it Magby Village." Soon she saw people all over the village with Magby at their side.
Izzy pulled out the pokenav her mom had given her. She examined the map carefully looking for the first gym. Izzy put the map away as she cheered. "There's a gym right here in the village!" she yelled. Izzy ran to the gym and read the sign "Magby village gym. Leader Dan" Izzy entered the gym to find a boy who had jet black hair, green eyes, a fair complexion, and a very boyish face. "Are you Dan?" she asked mesmerized by him. The boy nodded and spun around before saying "I am Dan the best leader there ever was!"
Izzy challenged him to a battle. Dan threw a poke-ball a bright light released a pansage. "Cyndaquill go get it buddy!" Izzy had commanded. Cyndaquill jumped to the battle field. "pansage use wrap!" Dan yelled. "Cyndaquill dodge and use ember!" At this cyndaquill dodged just in time and used an ember attack making it a critical hit. Pansage let out a loud cry as it fell to the ground. Dan withdrew his fainted pansage.
Another poke-ball was thrown and a leafeon jumped on the field. Cyndaquill was ready to fight. "razor leaf!" Dan yelled. "Ember!" Izzy commanded. Leafeon's razor leaf hit cyndaquill with incredible force making it hit the wall. "Cyndaquill!" he cried painfully. "Cyndaquill!" Izzy cried. She ran and scooped him up. "Take a rest." she said to him. Izzy released eevee on the battle field. "use quick attack!" Izzy yelled. Unaware eevee struck leafeon with the speed of light. The leafeon let out a cry. It used razor leaf once more. Eevee dodged and used quick attack again. This time it was stronger. The leafeon fainted.
"Eevee return!" Eevee went back in the poke-ball and Izzy put cyndaquill on her shoulder. Dan walked over to her. He extended his hand holding a small badge shaped like a flower. "Take the flower badge. You've earned it." he said with a smile. Izzy took the badge. "Thank you" she said. Izzy turned to leave the gym when Dan said "wait Izzy...I'd like to keep in touch and registered her in his pokenav. Izzy smiled and left the gym after. She looked at her pokenav map. "The next gym is in Dark City"she said.
