[Izuku had gotten his badge just shortly before Kirishima went to challenge Brock the following day, and honestly? He'd asked for permission to sit in the bleachers to watch, both to get to experience someone else's strategy as well as to cheer his friend on. Needless to say it had been a very exciting match all around.

Izuku moves to sit by Kirishima with Mighty in his lap when he hears the video of the match being replayed yet again.]

He should be proud, cause I've never seen one Pokemon take on a whole gym like that! Even I wasn't sure bringing in less than six when I challenged Brock!
