Dawn's Ambipom
Ash's Aipom (Japanese: サトシのエイパム Satoshi's Eipam) is the only Pokémon to be captured by Ash Ketchum in Pokémon: Battle Frontier; it was captured on the Indigo Plateau. It is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō.
Aipom was first seen in Slaking Kong, worshipping a giant, mechanical Slaking. However, it also stole Ash's hat. Aipom then reappeared in May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!, stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In Channeling the Battle Zone, Ash finally captured it.
In Aipom and Circumstance, Aipom became jealous of Ash's Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headwear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on its head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. Aipom's gender was confirmed in the Japanese version of Aipom and Circumstance; while Aipom was nearby gathering flowers, May said, 「エイパムやっぱり女の子ね？」 Aipom is a girl after all, isn't she?. However, this may be disputed as Aipom is referred to in the English dub of the same episode as potentially becoming King, not Queen.
Aipom, when out of the Poké Ball, usually sits on Ash's left shoulder, as opposed to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder.
In AG184, Aipom battled against a Weavile that had been kicked out of its clan. However, the Weavile easily outmatched and defeated Aipom so badly, Ash had to allow his injured Pokémon to recover with a nearby Pokémon forest ranger.
In order to bring back Torkoal to battle Brandon's Registeel, Ash sent Aipom to Professor Oak, where Aipom had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment and lack of Ash. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.
When Ash left for Sinnoh, leaving all his Pokémon but Pikachu behind as he did when leaving for Hoenn, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey.
In DP003, Aipom defeated Shinji's Hikozaru in battle.
With the precense of a new evolution in the 4th Generation, it is widely believed Aipom will evolve into the Pokemon Eteboth while in Sinnoh with Ash.
