Plot[]
Chimera Ant arc[]
Podungo along with her fellow Amateur Hunters survey the country of Kakin to find new species of animals. Her and the other Amateur Hunters are left in shock and awe when they find out Gon is the son of the legendary Hunter Ging Freecss, Killua is from the renowned group of assassins the Zoldyck Family, and the both of them are Pro-Hunters. After the Amateur Hunters all introduce themselves and enjoy a meal together, Podungo and Spin talk about and show Gon and Killua one of Kite's best finds, the Camp Tiger.[1] With their exploration of Kakin completed Kite and the Amateur Hunters report their findings to the Kakin Zoologist Wong. In thanks for their hard work, Wong informs the group that the Southernpiece Auction House obtained a strange part of an amazing and unknown species of the sort, and they're now hiring Hunters to find and capture a live specimen.[2]
Thanks to Wong's influence, the Amateur Hunters along with Gon and Killua manage to see the part of the unknown species at the auction house. After examining the part Podungo expresses interest in analyzing the piece and Mon volunteers to stay behind to help her. Podungo later contacts Kite and informs him the part came from a Chimera Ant Queen.[2] Sometime after the search on the beach the Amateur Hunters research 10 or more people who have gone missing in the last 6 months and come up with nothing. So after learning the where the Chimera Ant Queen could be in the Mitene Union near NGL, Kite and group head to the NGL Border Stop and are meet by two representatives.[3]
Kite, Gon, Killua, Stick, and Podungo all enter NGL
After various screening and examinations performed to exclude any visitors not meeting the NGL conditions and the only people who meet those conditions are Stick, Podungo, Gon, Killua, and Kite. When the group enter NGL they all rent horses and take along two NGL Interpreters as guides.[4] Though after some time in NGL Kite and the group get an S.O.S. message from one of Ponzu's bees detailing the Chimera Ants' nest location and for someone to contact the Hunter Association. Kite sensing immediate danger sends Podungo and Stick back to the border to get help.[5]
Podungo later accompanies Banana, Monta, and Spinner in a truck heading back to the NGL border with Knov, Morel, and Chairman Netero in the back of the truck.[6]
