Summary
The episode starts in space, with the appearance of Lord Claw and Paradox Corps's spaceship, and him observing the planets on the screen, plotting which one to conquer, and targeting Earth. A small slhouette then tries sneaking away without being caught, but not before grabbing something from the nearest desk; something glowing. However, he falls down and the people in the room try reaching him, only snatching its collar, the silhouette falling from the ship and floating away in space. Lord Claw growls in anger as he realize the objects missing.

On Earth, Daisuke Kita wakes up his older brother Kosuke, jumping on his bed. After breakfast and their grandma's good luck wish for the day, Daisuke explains his excitement on opening the Precure Club again. As they make their way to their class, Maeko, Daisuke's best friend, present him with a Pretty Cure Splendid Guidebook, which he's very thankful for. Kosuke fears the others' opinions as he see everyone looking at his excited little brother.

During the teacher's explaining about the schedule changes, Daisuke reads the guidebook, charmed about all the great pictures and all the possiblities of knowing more about his favorite franchise of superheroines. Later on, he opens up the Precure Club again, and put the Accepting Members sign on the door. Kosuke then talks to Daisuke about their classmates possibly not being open to his interest, because of Precure being considered a girl thing, but Daisuke doesn't take it well and argues with him, saying boys can like what girls like and that Kosuke never said a thing before about this. All the class witness their discussion and as Daisuke storms out, Maeko trying to follow him, Kosuke looks down, embarassed.

Outside, a bit far from the school building, Daisuke mumbles as he looks at the guidebook and sighs, remembering that it were the Precure that taught him so much important things he knows and believes, and wish he could be a hero like they are. Nearby then, a glowing light falls down nearby Daisuke's spot, startling him. He then sees no trace of a crater, and an injured puppy creature laying down.

In the Precure Club, Maeko and Daisuke watch the puppy, watching the puppy as he wakes up and have some water and food. He rejects dog food, so Daisuke gives him a piece of meat from his lunch, which he really likes. Kosuke watch Daisuke from the door and remembers their parents' death, and their grandmother taking them in.

At home, Daisuke thanks Grandma for letting him keep Wan-chan (the name he gives the puppy). Kosuke notices Daisuke trying to avoid him, and after finally getting his attention, tries explaining he wasn't trying to diminish him or anything, but Daisuke replies that's not why he's mad. Their chat's interrupted by Wan-chan's desperate barking, and as they arrive, a dark claw is holding their grandmother. As they make their way outside the house, Kamen introduce himself and the creature is introduced as a Crashju. Daisuke consults the Precure Guidebook to see what to do in case of monsters, and instead of running, he chosses to stand his ground and try fighting back the monster.

Kamen laughs at his pathetic attempt, but Daisuke decides he wants to save his grandma and keeps trying to fight. Wan-chan's belly glows and a shield-like jewel comes out of his glowing symbol. The strong light temporarily blinds Kamen and the Crashju, allowing Daisuke to reach the object, and something appears on his wrist.

Daisuke then transforms into Cure Rescue, and doesn't hide his excitement on becoming a Cure. As Kamen orders his Crashju to get him, while Kosuke stares in disbelief, Daisuke tests any possible abilities, and while succeeding in jumping and defending, can't really keep his guard up. Kosuke tries getting him to call the police to help, but Daisuke refuses to give up and ask Kosuke to try supporting him. Finally understanding why his brother is so angry at him, Kosuke tries reaching their grandma without success, and as the Crashju grabs him, he decides he wants to help his family, getiing a jewel of his own and transforming into Cure Power.

After a short shocked reaction, Kosuke joins Daisuke into tying the Crashju's arms and saving their fainted grandmother. Daisuke then tells him to "go with the flow", and punch Kamen with his Meteor Wave Punch, retrieving a strange collar whike Kosuke channelize his energy and destroys the Crashju with his Light-Dark Uppercut.

As their enemy leaves, Daisuke and Kosuke put their grandma in bed, and the brothers make up. They're caught by surprise seeing Wan-chan talking as he wears the collar, and he thanks Daisuke for the name and taking care of him.

Back in his ship, Lord Claw receives Kamen's news about the new Precure, and beilieves this could make things interesting...
