Gnome Question

I searched the forum and FAQ, but couldn't come up with an answer.

Under what circumstances may a gnome use his ability to play a monster as a one shot item?

The text of the card indicates that this can be done in combat alone (the card has the italics).

I took this to mean that a gnome can only use this ability when fighting a monster in a combat in which another player does not help.

My friend felt that it means that a gnome can use this ability while in combat - whether his own or when helping out another munchkin. He argues that the alone only indicates that the ability cannot be used to aid a monster, because the gnome is not actually in combat at that time.

Are either of us correct?
