After they all enjoy a meal together, it's decided that with the help of Gon and Killua to scavenge for more species of animals before their contract expires within a month. As Gon and Killua search for new species of creatures, Spin and Stick observe their progress. Spin praises them on how they manage to unconsciously find new species, while Stick claims it's a skill they have and laughs, but also mentions it's also their instinct and luck.

With their exploration in 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. Thanks to Wong's influence Podungo with the other Amateur Hunters, Gon, Killua, and Kite 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. So Stick along with the rest of the group go to a beach located near Yorknew City in order to find more clues about the whereabouts of the creature, but find nothing. Podungo later contacts Kite and informs him the part came from a Chimera Ant Queen. Upon hearing this although he laughs about it, he states concern over that kind of insect.

Sometime after the search on the beach Stick and the group do some research on 10 or more people that have gone missing in the last 6 months and come up with nothing. So when Kite asks where the part was found Spin finds out it was found in the Mitene Union near NGL. When the group arrives at the NGL Border Stop the group are meet by two representatives of NGL.

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.
