The Healing Animals search for their partners in the human world while a girl named Nodoka Hanadera moves to the town of Sukoyaka with her family.

Nodoka convinces her family to let Rate stay with them, then attends her first day of school with Pegitan and Nyatoran tagging along.

When Nodoka hears some of her classmates talking about the monster attacks, Rabirin begs her to keep her Pretty Cure identity a secret.

Rate has fallen ill, so Chiyu and Nodoka bring her to the veterinary clinic run by Hinata's family; Hinata meets Nyatoran.

Tensions arise during a visit to the aquarium as Chiyu and Hinata's personalities clash and Pegitan suddenly goes missing.

Rate is tired of being alone in Nodoka's house and escapes into town, and the Healing Animals call their partners to help them find her.
