Vegeta and Piccolo arrived on the planet where the corresponding Golden Dragon Ball was located via Instant Transmission.
"Will the Golden Dragon Ball be here?" Piccolo held the Dragon Ball Scouter and stared blankly at its empty display.
"This planet seems enormous. Where we are may be beyond the Dragon Ball Scouter's detection range. Perhaps we'll need to travel around this planet for a while." Vegeta spoke sternly. Though he did not know whether the Dragon Ball was truly here, his unwillingness to concede meant that he would not give up until he had searched the entire planet.

Since they had arrived on this planet, he could not possibly ask Vegeta to use Instant Transmission to carry him again. As long as they could fly around using the Flight Technique, they could search this planet for the Golden Dragon Ball.
"How about we split up?" Vegeta said coldly. "I'll search ten thousand kilometers to the east, and you'll search ten thousand kilometers to the west. I'll take the Dragon Ball Scouter. If I find the Dragon Ball in the east, I'll retrieve it directly. If I don't find it there, I'll use Instant Transmission to head west and find you."

If someone came looking for the Dragon Ball, he could roughly sense their location through their energy. Perhaps he might even discover the Dragon Ball they carried along the way.
As for Vegeta, after searching ten thousand kilometers eastward, if he found nothing, he could locate
