Gon's going home to share his Hunter success with Aunt Mito, but Whale Island has a surprise in store for Gon--a message from his father to "come and find me." The only clues Gon has to go on are a strange ring and a JoyStation memory card for the video gameGreed Island.

Gon needs to earn enough money to make a bid on the game, but there's not much time left.

And the evil Phantom Troupe have plans of their own for the auction...
