Isabella: When I was seven, I loved Beyblades. I told Phineas and Ferb about them and told them I wanted to be the strongest beyblader. They asked to see my beyblade. After inspecting it, they made the observation that weight was the deciding factor in which beyblade won. And weight came from the metal core at a beyblade's center
Isabella: So they made a custom core for me. A very heavy one. I took my beyblade to a L'il Sparks meeting the next day and in my first game, I broke my opponent's beyblade in two. After that, nobody wanted to play against my weighted beyblade. I was the queen.

This scene always felt like such a throwaway when I was younger, but watching it now I actually really love it
This is the only scene in the movie where Ferb and Isabella interact one-on-one, and it's literally less than five seconds, but it says a LOT.
Isabella could've very well gone up to DEI herself to help Phineas - that's her crush, after all. Instead, she found Ferb in the middle of battle, and told him to go up instead, that she would handle the troops on the ground.
Ferb and Isabella, for all their differences, are very similar in one specific regard: they like to be in control. For Isabella, that's leading people and holding down troops. For Ferb, that's working with his hands in the fray of things, being in charge of the mechanics around him. Multiple times in the movie we see Ferb, completely level headed while everyone around him is panicking, ripping apart wires and building things in the heat of the moment and saving the lives of his siblings and Perry.
And Isabella, in this moment, knows that she can be a better leader to the troops on the ground, and that what Phineas needs is someone who can work under pressure with his hands.
She also, likely, sees a brother who has been left behind in the fray of things, who usually never leaves Phineas' side when the going gets tough, and probably understands on a very deep level that Ferb is being left out of the action, which is something he doesn't like. Because for all intents and purposes, Isabella and Ferb actually really understand one another on an emotional level; it just doesn't come up verbally very often.
Anyway thank you for entertaining yet another deep analysis of Phineas and Ferb.
