No energy is gained. On the contrary, energy is required to make ice melt.

It should be noted that energy cannot be gained or lost due to energy conservation. But there is a bit more to this as regards the situation being asked about. In terms of the energy of the water vapor, yes, the water vapor has more energy after it has evaporated. It has to have to have evaporated. The water vapor leaves the water from which it came with less energy; it took energy with it to evaporate. Either way, energy has been transferred from the body of water to the water that is evaporating, and it might help to view what is happening in that light.
As heat is a form of energy, it isn't lost or gained, it's just converted into another form of energy.
Energy moving through a body of water is scientifically called hydro energy. When hydro energy is present, the water cycle changes.

Energy is used when water changes from a solid to a liquid.
You get steam because the molecules have gained energy in the form of heat and are moving faster and further apart which also increases pressure if you try to contain it. It takes in energy

When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.
