Ruby knew she had made the wrong choice a few times during the fight. But once she send in her Flareon things changed and she defeated the gym leader. When the fight was over someone clapped for them but she didn't feel victorious. Her Flareon ran to her after the fight and jumped in her arms, she giggled and their noses touched each other. ''Good job Flame.. You are the best girl'' she said with a smile and then placed her on the ground again, allowing her to go back in her pokeball. ''Rest well sweety.. You will need it'' she said and then looked at the gym leader that walked over and handed her the badge. ''you deserved it, you did very well'' she said. Ruby bowed her head. ''I was lucky'' she said and placed the badge in the little box. ''Thank you for the fight'' Ruby then said and the gym leader laid her hand on Ruby's shoulder. ''You will become a great pokemon trainer'' she said and Ruby smiled a little, then left to let her pokemon be seen by nurse joy.

At the pokecentre Ruby waited for her pokémon to be healed again and sat on a chair. She decided to call her grandpa and stood up, only five steps away from the phones and she bumped into a tall guy with long black hair. She looked up. ''Oh.. I.. I am sorry sir.. I am so clumsy'' she said and got up from the ground. ''Miss Oak? Your pokémon are ready'' nurse joy then said. ''I am sorry again sir..'' Ruby said and then walked to the nurse and took her pokemon, letting her eevee, which didn't have a pokéball, sit in her shoulder bag again and then walked out of the poke-centre. Not noticing that her box with badges was laying on the ground.
