Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika are trapped in a cave with Ponzu while Leorio suffers from poisoning. Gon is bitten multiple times to obtain the antidote, using Ponzu's sleeping gas to incapacitate the snakes while holding his breath to rescue the group. During the chaos, Leorio takes Ponzu's number badge while she sleeps. Gon also retrieves the badges previously given to him by Hisoka, deciding it is acceptable to use them so he can stay with his friends. This sequence concludes the fourth stage of the Hunter Exam.
