Synopsis[]
In Yokohama, Fusion reappears once again to threaten the city with great darkness and destruction. However, Pretty Cure (Max Heart through Suite) assemble once again and defeat Fusion, and thus, his body parts have been scattered all over the city.
The next day, a girl named Sakagami Ayumi, who admires Pretty Cure and witnesses their battle against Fusion, is having problems of making friends at her new school and feels lonely herself.
Meanwhile, the mascots (Tarte, Chiffon, Chypre, Coffret, Potpourri, Hummy, Fairy Tones, & Candy) has been celebrating Fusion's defeat, when they see a spawn of Fusion eating their food. They try to chase it away until Chiffon traps it in a bottle.
After school, Ayumi saves one of Fusion's spawn from being trapped under a leaf, and it becomes attached to her. She names it "Fu-chan", because it keeps sighing "Fu".
The Smile Pretty Cure! team is at Yokohama, searching for Fusion after being alerted by Candy. They split up to look for it. Ayumi realizes that Fu-chan can mimic many objects, Miyuki accidentally bumps into her. She tries to apologize to Ayumi, however, she mistakes her as a stranger. The Suite Pretty Cure team is nearby and Ayumi bumps into Hibiki next.
Both Hibiki and Miyuki run after Ayumi until Hibiki run ahead and blocks their path, but Miyuki is unable to stop herself and runs right into her. They immediately apologizes to Ayumi as she quickly tries to leave, and by now the duo realize they are lost.
They go to a park to rest, but before they can realize what is going on, several spawns of Fusion appear and they give chase. Kanade, Ellen and Ako join in and with Hibiki they quickly transform in a nearby alley. Miyuki is surprised as she too transformed into Cure Happy. They chase the spawn down to a harbor front and starts battling it, with Happy using Happy Shower to defeat one. The Suite Pretty Cure♪ Team used their special attacks on the rest of the spawns.
Ayumi and the others arrive but the Suite Pretty Cure♪ left before Miyuki could introduce them. Ayumi takes off with Fu-chan and returns home to play with it for a little. She tells it to eat so that it can grow big and strong.
As this is going on, Tarte was preparing some Miracle lights for the upcoming battle and the next day, Fu-Chan actually grew bigger (after devouring the neighbors dog the previous night). Ayumi takes Fu-chan around for some fun and when her mom comes along to check on her, Fu-chan turns into an arm band to hide. Her mother tells her not to spend all day playing video games and she leaves the house, disappointed as she gets uncomfortable in public. She runs into Miyuki again but Fu-chan mistakes her for an enemy and attacks, and when the other Smile Pretty Cure! realize whats going on they and transform to fight. They use their special attacks but each time causes Fu-chan to grow stronger and faster after absorbing their attacks.
The Suite Pretty Cure♪ team has also arrived at the scene; however, Ayumi intervenes and Fu-Chan reverted to it's original form. She quickly grabs it and runs away, back for home to earn a scolding from her mom. Fu-chan devours her mother, which shocks Ayumi, and thinking that she hates the city due to her wording, it summons all the spawns to attack the city. Ayumi tries to find Fu-Chan after it flees her home and she runs into the Smile! ad Suite♪ Cure again. She takes the blame for causing all the trouble occurring, but Happy assures her that she can be the one to stop Fu-chan's misguided decision.
The girls run towards the tower where Fu-Chan and several spawns reside, doing battle with them until one tries to attack Ayumi. Potpourri arrives to protect her, along with the Heartcatch Pretty Cure! and the Fresh Pretty Cure! teams to lend a hand. The spawns try to throw a large ship liner into the city and both the Smile and suite teams try to hold it off. Tarte gave everyone within the city a Miracle Light to shine and help the Pretty Cure, when the Max Heart, Splash Star and Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! Teams arrive.
A spawn tried to grab Cure Happy when Ayumi shoves her aside so that it traps her instead. She struggles but her will is strong enough that suddenly, she gains the ability to transform into Cure Echo. Everyone is surprised by the appearance of a new Cure, but they continue forward until a big gust of dark wind confuses them. Echo soon gets lost but because of the Mascots help shining the Miracle Lights she can see a path, which takes her straight to Fu-Chan. She arrives at the top and manages to convince Fu-Chan to stop, and she returns back to normal. However, Fusion is reborn and tries to devour her. Cure Happy shields her away and the rest soon follow suit.
The Smile Pretty Cure! team struggle against Fusion until Fu-chan sacrifices itself and timely bestows the Smile Pretty Cure! team an energy boost. The girls overturn the battle and Fusion is destroyed. Ayumi is heartbroken until she hears Fu-chan speaking to her, asking that she not spend her days grieving for it. It will always stay by her side. Everything is restored including her mother and the neighbors dog, and from this event Ayumi grows more confident. She begins to make friends and bonds with her fellow Pretty Cure.
