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 is voiced by 伊東みやこ Miyako Itō.
Aipom was first seen in AG178 where it stole Ash's hat. It reappeared in AG179, stealing the hats of the participants before making off with Ash's hat again. In AG181, Ash finally captured it.
In AG182, Aipom became jealous of Ash's Pikachu's closeness to Ash. It also seems to have a certain penchant for headwear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, it wore a daisy chain on its head and put on a ceremonial crown it had trouble getting rid of.
Aipom, when out of its Pokéball, usually sits on Ash's left shoulder, as opposed to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder. Presumably, it is out of itsjealousy streak, but instead takes a leaf from Pikachu's book, and joins Ash usually sans Pokéball.
In order to bring back Torkoal to battle Brandon's Registeel, Ash had to send Aipom over to Professor Oak; it had quite a bit of trouble adjusting to the new environment. However, after Ash's second defeat, Aipom returned.
When Ash left for Shinou, leaving all his Pokémon but Pikachu behind once more as he did when leaving for Hoenn, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was travelling on to accompany him on his new journey.
