As blue light flashed, a purple, monkey-like Pokémon with a forked tuft on its head and two long, strange tails appeared before Xia You.
Xia You took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Pokémon.
Pokédex: "Beep. Ambipom, the Long Tail Pokémon. Normal type. Ambipom usually live in enormous trees and move in large groups. Their tails can handle all sorts of tasks so deftly that they have almost stopped using their hands. They link their tails together to form rings, sensing their bonds with their companions and conveying their feelings this way. Humans are said to occasionally be invited to join these rings as well. If one hugs you tightly with both tails, that proves it is truly close to you."
These Pokémon were frequently seen in the great forests of Johto and other regions. They often moved in groups and attacked any people or Pokémon that intruded on their territory.
As Aipom's evolved form, it was not particularly common in urban areas, but Xia You still remembered something about this Pokémon.
He remembered that Ash had caught an Aipom during his later travels, then eventually traded it to Dawn, and it had ultimately evolved into Ambipom.
This Pokémon was also very fast and extremely agile, making it no easy opponent.
After briefly considering a strategy, Xia You recalled Tyranitar and sent out his Scizor instead.
Since his opponent had strange tails, he might as well send out a fellow with giant pincers to deal with it.
When Scizor appeared before Ambipom, Whitney also looked the Pokémon up and down.
Scizor's Steel typing would halve the damage from Ambipom's Normal-type attacks. Moreover, most of Ambipom's attacks relied on its two tails, but facing Scizor's enormous pincers seemed to leave it somewhat restricted.
*No wonder he sent
