In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance!]]'', Aipom became jealous of Pikachu's closeness to Ash. Aipom also seems to have a certain penchant for headgear; aside from taking Ash's and other participants' hats, Aipom wore a daisy chain on her head and put on a ceremonial crown that the locals had trouble getting off. The members of a crowd who wanted to crown, as well as Ash and his friends, attempted to remove the crown from her head so she would not become their king for a year. With the help of a [[Belue Berry]]'s sourness, the crown was finally taken off. Ash then hugged Aipom and told her not to get into trouble all the time. As Ash laughed a bit when he told her this, Aipom blushed. | In ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance!]]'', Aipom became jealous of Pikachu's closeness to Ash.

Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, but is also eager to battle. Her interest was first perked in ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'' where she took an interest in May's battle with [[Harley]]. Aipom also watched her battle with [[Drew]] before enticing Ash into catching her. While Ash had Aipom, she usually sat on his left shoulder when outside of her [[Poké Ball]], in contrast to Pikachu sitting on his right shoulder. | Aipom enjoys participating in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, but is also eager to battle.

When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he wanted to leave all of his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]]. However, Aipom snuck aboard the boat he was traveling on to accompany him on his new journey. Aipom proved to be necessary as a backup; as soon as they arrived, Team Rocket kidnapped Pikachu, and Aipom helped find them. During her journey through Sinnoh, Aipom defeated [[Paul's Chimchar]] in battle and helped Ash capture his {{AP|Starly}}. | When Ash left for [[Sinnoh]], he wanted to leave all of his Pokémon but {{AP|Pikachu}} behind as he did when leaving for [[Hoenn]].

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', Ambipom was used in a Contest in [[Sandalstraw Town]] and was defeated by [[Kenny's Prinplup]] in the final round. During the Contest, she discovered a love and talent for {{wp|table tennis|ping pong}}. She used this talent to compete in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] with Dawn in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True]]''. Due to her obvious natural ability, fellow competitor [[O]] offered her a place at his Ping Pong Training Center in [[Vermilion City]]. Dawn left the decision to Ambipom. After deciding to pursue Ping Pong over her love of Contests and Battles, Ambipom bid farewell to Dawn and Ash and left the group in order to follow her new ambition. | In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', Ambipom was used in a Contest in [[Sandalstraw Town]] and was defeated by [[Kenny's Prinplup]] in the final round.
