Story[]
It's a crisis! Humans around the world have become lazy and obese! Paula Gasol had her basketball club shut down because of lack of interest. But an orange basketball fairy named Hoops rolls on to her sneakers and tells her "Don't be discouraged, We will make this world active one dribble at a time! All you have to do is become a Pretty Cure!", but she kicked Hoops across the gym while shouting "What are you talking about?", kneeled down and cried as she lamented "I can't get people to play basketball anymore."
She walked home in the rain and ate a whole lot of food while watching old mecha anime from the 70s and 80s, but Hoops shows up and tells her that the world is in danger because the Couch Potatoes influence is making the world become lazy and that he really needs her help. Paula gets up and meets with the few friends she has at the gym. There, Paula, and three friends Carla Ripken, Michelle Phelps and Christina Ronaldo joined forces to start a sports club called Athletic Club Exercising and Sporting (ACES) and they sold videos to as many people as they can to get the world to become active and make more friends by playing sports.
Sloth, a swine-esque alien and leader of the Couch Potatoes saw what Paula and her friends did and made his way towards Earth to put a stop to it, while Hoops and his siblings Home Run, Goal and Wave gave the Paula, Carla, Michelle and Christina the PreCurade and the girls transformed into Cure Basketball, Cure Baseball, Cure Swimming and Cure Soccer respectively.
