L☆PC!01

'''Luck or Destiny? Cure Lucky is Born!''' (幸運か、運命か？キュアラッキー、誕生！) is the first episode of Lucky☆Pretty Cure!.

Synopsis
Three unique individuals arrive at the Greed Emperor's palace: Coveton the swordsman, Rapacy the seductress, and Alvario the barbarian. All three have been chosen to participate in a contest known as the Rite of Succession. They are greeted by the Emperor's servant, who notes that there was supposed to be a fourth competitor, but they have not shown up. Regardless, they proceed as planned. Meanwhile, in the busy Jizen City, there lives a girl named Sachiko Yoshimura. She has a habit of avoiding trouble through impossible means, and always being there to help others at just the right time, leading to her classmates to refer to her as a real-life "Lady Luck". Though she believes strongly in luck and fortunes, her best friend, Nanami Takamoto, is not so optimistic. That day, instead of walking home together as they usually do, Sachiko decides to stroll through the city due to a prediction made in her daily horoscope. Meanwhile, one of the competitors, Coveton, summons a giant monster called a Kyoujin in the city park, which begins shooting bystanders with a strange light and extracting their Fortune Energy, the source of good luck and happiness. Sachiko accidentally comes across the scene as it is unfolding, and as the Kyoujin tries to steal her Fortune Energy, the light dissipates before it reaches her. From afar, a rabbit-like fairy named Flush sees this and immediately rushes to Sachiko's side. Flush tells Sachiko that she is immune to having her Fortune Energy stolen, which means she is one of the legendary warriors, Pretty Cure, and hands her a Fortune Module. Sachiko uses the Fortune Module to transform into Cure Lucky, and a new legend is born!
