Rush hour in Shore City was, as in all cities, hectic. In the city center, cars moved slowly through the heavy traffic, and bored drivers behind the wheels impatiently honked their horns, eager to get home from the work day. It wouldn't stay boring for long, however.
On the rooftops, Karkinos lurked. "All these people, gathered her in one spot," He said to no one in particular, "It's just begging for a Hadalis."
Karkinos brought out and uncorked his Hadal Vial. He waved a hand over the open top to extract a few drops of the dark liquid contained within, and he pointed toward a nearby streetlamp. "Rise from the depths, Hadalis!"
The liquid drops flew toward the streetlamp, transforming it into a monstrous Hadalis when they made contact. People all around, both those in their cars and nearby pedestrians, collapsed as the Hadalis began sapping their life energy. Those outside the dark monster's radius were horrified. No one knew for sure what was going on, but they knew whatever it was, it wasn't good. Some abandoned their cars and ran, while others stayed, either petrified by fear or believing their car would provide shelter.
"Pretty Cure, Tidal Power!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of bravery... Making a splash, Cure Coral!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of strength... Making waves, Cure Storm!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of confidence... Diving in, Cure Pearl!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of intelligence... Swimming in, Cure Kelp!"
"With hope and power as vast as the ocean!" All four Cures spoke together, getting into their respective poses. "We are Pretty Cure Ocean Splash!"
People all around stopped in their tracks as they turned to look. Some stared in awe, others took out their phones and began filming. People immediately began talking amongst themselves, asking questions like "Who are those girls?" "What are they going to do?" "Is this some kind of bizarre performance?" "How am I going to get home?"
The talking ceased as the Cures began talking themselves... To each other, that was.
"Oh, come on, I thought we all agreed we were going with 'we just go with the flow'!" Storm said. "I was starting to say that, and then I realized you all were saying Pearl's suggestion, and I had to switch real fast! Man, I hope nobody noticed..."
"That's because we agreed we were going with my suggestion," Pearl said, rolling her eyes.
"Did we?" Storm said. "I guess I forgot..."
"I don't think now's the time for this," Coral said.
"Yeah, we've got work to do!" Kelp said. She and Coral leaped into action, as the two of them jumped toward the Hadalis and kicked it, hard.
"Sorry!" Storm called. She and Pearl followed Coral and Kelp's example, jumping in and delivering punches to the Hadalis.
"Pretty Cure Ocean Splash... Is that what you're calling yourselves now?" Karkinos said. "A rose by any other name, its thorns still dig into my side."
The Hadalis tried to retaliate. It took hold of another streetlamp and pulled it free from the sidewalk. It swung the streetlamp like a sword toward Coral and Kelp, who leaped out of the way, just in time. Then, it took another swing, this time at Storm and Pearl. The two stood their ground and caught the streetlamp in their hands. The Hadalis pushed down, trying to crush them beneath the pole, but Coral and Kelp then jumped in, Coral giving a kick and Kelp giving a punch, straight to the monster's face. While it was briefly disoriented, both Cures latched onto the Hadalis's face.
The Hadalis was distracted, and with its free hand, tried to swat the Cures off of its face. As it did so, it loosened its hold on the streetlamp it was holding. Storm and Coral gripped the streetlamp and pulled it out from the Hadalis's grasp. The two of them stepped back a ways as they carried the streetlamp.
"Coral, Kelp, look out!" Pearl called.
Coral and Kelp nodded as they detached themselves from the Hadalis's face and jumped away. Storm and Pearl threw the streetlamp as hard as they could toward the Hadalis, knocking the monster over as the streetlamp collided with it.
The four Cures dashed back toward where the Hadalis lied, ready to make the final blow. As they closed in on it, the Hadalis lifted its head up, and it lit up, emitting a light so bright, blinding all who looked.
The Cures stopped in their tracks, shielding their eyes.
"I can't see!" Coral said.
"It's like when you wake up in the middle of the night and check your phone to see what time it is!" Storm said.
"Your light is bright..." Pearl said, forcing herself to look. "But I shine brighter! Pretty Cure, Pearl Flash!"
Pearl's bright light shot out toward the Hadalis, purifying it and turning it back into an ordinary streetlamp. All those who had their life energy drained by the Hadalis awoke, and all damage that had occurred during the battle repaired itself magically, as if nothing had ever happened.
Karkinos said nothing, but looked annoyed as he disappeared in a bubble.
It started with a few people clapping, until the crowd around the Cures erupted into applause. Storm started waving at the crowd enthusiastically. Kelp started waving, too, and so did Pearl, though she looked a little uncomfortable while doing it.
"I'm... not so used to being in the spotlight," Coral said nervously. "Can we... Can we get going? P-Please?"
"I agree, we should go," Pearl added.
"Aww, you two are no fun," Storm said. "Sure, let's leave."
The four Cures leaped off into the distance, leaving the crowd behind to wonder who they were and what had just happened.
OP: "Swim! Splash! Precure!"
EPISODE 6:
"Pretty Cure's gone public! Can our secret stay secret?"
"Marie! Where have you been?"
Marie jumped ass she walked through the front door. She hadn't been expecting that.
"Oh, Mom," She said, "I thought I called you and told you I stayed after school to study."
"You did, but they make you go home at 4:30, don't they?" Anne said. "You've been out much longer than that."
Staying after school to study wasn't a lie. Marie really had done so. She hadn't expected a Hadalis to attack while she was on her way home, however, and so she had stayed out longer. "Oh, um..." Marie tried to think of an excuse. "I still needed extra help, so I asked Ruth if I could come over, and she helped me study a little. I meant to text you, I'm sorry."
"Well, alright," Anne said, smiling. "Just don't forget to tell me next time, okay? After what happened today, I was worried sick!"
"Did something happen?" Marie asked.
"Oh, come look," Anne said, turning toward the living room. "It's on the news!"
Marie went into the living room. Bill was there, and Jack was, too, their eyes glued to the television. Marie sat down on the couch next to them, and what she saw on TV shocked her.
"According to both eyewitness reports and amateur video evidence, the group call themselves 'Pretty Cure Ocean Splash'," The anchorman on the news said.
Marie froze. "What... did he just say?"
The report continued with an excerpt from an interview of an eyewitness, a young man. "They were doing all kinds of... Crazy high acrobatic leaps and jumps and stuff, there was no way any ordinary person could do. And it was hard to see because it was bright, but I swear one of them used magic," He said. "This wasn't a performance or anything like that. They were real. It was all real."
The report went back to the anchorman. "There is no physical evidence of anything that occurred during the battle, despite numerous videos and accounts of the event. Eyewitnesses claim all damage that had occurred during the battle miraculously reversed itself. Both the Pretty Cure Ocean Splash girls and the strange man eyewitnesses report seeing on a rooftop both just before and during the event disappeared and have not been seen since."
"That's all gotta be fake," Jack said, rolling his eyes.
"I was there," Bill said. "I was stuck in traffic on my way home. It might seem hard to believe, but I'm telling you, I saw it with my own two eyes!"
"Oh, come on, Dad!" Jack looked toward his sister. "Marie, don't tell me you believe all this, too."
"O-o-of course n-not," Marie said, already nervous. "I-I mean, this is so ridiculous, how could anyone b-b-believe it?" She reached up toward her neck where her Soak Locket hung, running her fingers over it.
"You wouldn't be saying that if you had been there, Marie!" Bill said.
"I... I'm gonna head up to my room," Marie said, quickly leaving the room before anyone could protest. She ran up the stairs as quickly as she could, went into her bedroom and closed the door behind her. She opened up her bag, allowing Onda and Costa to come out before collapsing onto her bed.
"You both heard all that, right?" Marie asked the fairies.
Onda and Costa nodded.
Marie sighed. "What am I going to do?"
"The same thing you've done up until now," Costa answered. "You have to try and hide your identity."
Marie pulled herself up to a sitting position. "Yeah, I assumed that, but it's going to be so much harder, because now everyone knows about Pretty Cure."
"You have to at least try," Onda said.
"I guess you're right." Marie lied back down and stared up at the ceiling. "Man... This is going to be tough."
The next day at school went by uneventfully. Almost everyone was abuzz about Pretty Cure Ocean Splash.
"There's no way that stuff is real, right? It's gotta be some kind of hoax!"
"No way, I was there! It was real!"
"Who are those girls, anyway?"
"I know them, actually... But I'm not supposed to say who they are."
"They look to be around our age, ooh, what if they go to our school?"
Well, three out of four, Marie thought to herself when she heard the last one.
At lunch, Marie, Natasha and Ruth all met up, as they always did.
"So, there's a certain elephant in the room we need to address," Ruth said as she sat down.
"Ugh, don't remind me," Natasha said. "Everyone I've talked to today hasn't shut up about Pretty Cure. Can't think of any other time I was ever tired of hearing about myself!"
"We probably shouldn't say much here, just in case of anyone overhearing us talking about it," Marie said. "Plus, Talia's not here."
"You're right, we should meet up after school," Ruth said. "Whose house should we go to?"
"Yours is closest to the school, Ruth," Marie said.
"You're right, good idea," Ruth said. "Are you alright with that, Nat?"
"Sounds good to me," Natasha said. "I'll let Talia know!"
Natasha pulled her phone out of her pocket and started texting Talia. She looked up a few moments later. "Yep, Talia says it's good with her, too."
"Great, it's decided, then," Ruth said with a smile.
After school, back at Ruth's house, she led Marie, Natasha and Talia up to her room and closed the door behind them. Marie let Onda and Costa out of her bag, while Ruth pulled out her phone and brought up a video, titled 'REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES IN SHORE CITY- MUST WATCH!', just one of the many videos taken of their fight yesterday, but one of the most popular.
"Look at this," Ruth said. "Posted less than 24 hours ago, and it already has three million views, and the number is going up by the minute."
"We're completely exposed," Marie said.
Natasha watched the video, and frowned. "I just announced to everyone how I started saying 'we just go with the flow' at first like an idiot! Ugh, why did I do that? I should've stayed quiet and hoped nobody noticed. Now three million people know!"
"This is all totally bogus," Talia said. "But let's face the facts. Even in a world without camera phones or social media, we still fought in a public place with a lot of people around. Maybe we wouldn't become known around the world overnight, but we definitely would have at least become local legends pretty fast."
"That's fair," Ruth said. "Still, what are we supposed to do now?"
"I'll tell you the same thing I told Marie yesterday," Costa said. "You still have to try and keep your identities as Pretty Cure Ocean Splash a secret. It may be harder now that you've got public, but you still have to."
"Yeah, about that," Ruth said.
"Oh, no," Marie said.
"It's with Charlotte, isn't it?" Natasha said.
"What about Charlotte?" Talia asked.
"Right, Talia, since we haven't known each other for all that long, you probably don't know," Ruth said. "My older sister, Charlotte, is completely obsessed with superheroes, and... Well, you should all come see for your self. Come on, follow me. Onda, Costa, you two should stay here."
The two fairies nodded, and Ruth led Marie, Natasha and Talia out of her room and down the hall toward Charlotte's room. Ruth knocked on the door.
Charlotte's voice rang out from behind the door. "Coming!" A few moments later, she opened the door. "What's up?"
"Hey, Charlotte," Ruth said. "I was talking to my friends about that Pretty Cure thing you showed me this morning before school, and they're curious about it. Mind if they come in and take a look?"
"I don't mind at all!" Charlotte said, smiling. She stepped aside, allowing everyone into her room. "Come on in!"
The four of them stepped into Charlotte's room. Charlotte was Ruth's sister, so of course she already knew what Charlotte's room looked like, and Marie and Natasha were long-time friends of Ruth, so they did, too. Talia, however, marveled at it. The walls were covered in posters for all kinds of superheroes. She had an entire shelf dedicated to comic books and DVDs of superhero movies, and a few more shelves covered with action figures and similar. Ruth had not exaggerated in the slightest when she said Charlotte was obsessed with superheroes.
"Here it is," Charlotte said. She pointed to a big bulletin board on the wall.
At the top, there was a big piece of paper, with 'Pretty Cure Ocean Splash - Their secret identities?' written on it.
"You're trying to find out their secret identities?" Marie asked.
"That's right!" Charlotte said, grinning.
The bulletin board was divided into sections. The first was 'Known Information'. The list was currently brief. All it said was, 'Four spotted, all girls, appear to be high school age, names are Cure Coral, Storm, Pearl and Kelp'. The second was 'Locations of Appearances'. This was also brief, with currently only one location on it: The city center, where they had fought the streetlamp Hadalis yesterday. The third section was 'Possible Candidates'. Under this section were several photos of people, some familiar, others not.
"Charlotte, you didn't tell me that Marie, Natasha, Talia and I were all candidates!" Ruth said.
"Sorry, I don't have much to go on right now, I was just listing all the high school girls I could think of," Charlotte said. "But thinking about it... Yeah, I'm taking you off the list. You're always busy doing homework and studying for school, Ruth! No way you could find the time to be a superhero."
"Obviously," Ruth said.
Charlotte reached to unpin Ruth's picture from the board. "Natasha, I think I should take you off the board, too. You've got swim meets, not to mention I don't think you have the right... Personality to be a superhero. No offense."
"None taken," Natasha said.
"Marie, Talia, sorry to say that I have nothing that definitely rules either of you out," Charlotte said. "Not to say that I think you're Pretty Cure Ocean Splash, it's just that there's nothing to say that you're not."
"That's fine," Talia said.
"But, you know," Marie said. "Being such a big fan of superheroes, you must know they want to keep their identities a secret for a reason! Why do you want to uncover them so badly?"
"Once I find out, it's not like I'm going to tell everyone," Charlotte said. "I'll keep it a secret. And I'm not a supervillain, I don't have malicious intentions, all I want is to meet them!"
"You just want to meet them?" Marie said. "That's all?"
"Yep!" Charlotte said. "Oh! And I want to ask them if I can become a Pretty Cure!"
Eyecatch 1: Marie, Natasha, Talia and Ruth are all in beachwear, chasing Onda and Costa along the beach. Marie, however, trips on a rock and falls right on her face. The others laugh and help her up as the Precure Ocean Splash logo appears in the corner.
Eyecatch 2: Standing in a line, the girls all hold oyster shells in their hands. One by one, they open them up. Marie opens hers up, nothing, Natasha, nothing, Ruth, nothing, but when Talia opens hers up, inside is a sparkling pearl. The others look at her while she proudly smiles, and the Precure Ocean Splash logo appears.
"You... Want to become a Pretty Cure?" Marie said.
"Yes!" Charlotte said. "To become a superhero has been my dream ever since I was little, and now I know that they're real, so of course, I want to as them how I can become one, like them. Look, I even drew myself as a Pretty Cure!" Charlotte opened up a drawer in her nightstand a pulled out a sketchbook. She flipped it open to a page and showed them all a drawing of herself as a Pretty Cure. It was actually very well drawn. "I decided to make myself purple, because it's my favorite color."
"You're a good artist," Talia complimented.
"Thanks," Charlotte said, and she put the sketchbook away.
"But, are you even sure if you can become a Pretty Cure?" Natasha asked. "What if they were, like, born that way or something?"
"Well, I'm not sure," Charlotte said, "But I might as well at least try and ask them, right? It's worth a shot!"
"I guess you're right," Natasha said.
"Well, good luck in your search, then," Marie said.
"Thanks," Charlotte said again.
The four of them finally left Charlotte's room, and headed back to Ruth's room.
"How did it go?" Onda asked.
"Charlotte wants to find out our secret identities, and she wants to become a Pretty Cure herself," Talia said.
"Oh, no," Costa said.
"And Marie wished her good luck!" Natasha said.
"Well, what was I supposed to say?" Marie said. "'Oh, I hope you never find out their secret identities! I hope your dream gets crushed!' Can you imagine?"
"Look, we can worry about this later," Costa said. "Onda and I can sense a general of Abyss has appeared not far from here!"
"Oh no, where?" Ruth asked.
"Back at your school!" Onda answered.
"Let's get going," Marie said.
Natasha, Talia and Ruth all nodded.
After-school activities were coming to an end at Shore City High. Students exited the school as they prepared to ride the bus home, walk home, get driven home or drive themselves, if they had a license.
Siren stood on the roof of the school, looking down upon all the people. "This time, I'll make Karkinos proud of me for sure." She brought out and uncorked her Hadal Vial. She waved her hand over the top to extract a few drops of the dark liquid inside the vial, and she pointed toward one of the waiting buses, currently empty. "Rise from the depths, Hadalis!"
The liquid drops raced toward the bus, transforming it into a monstrous Hadalis when they made contact. All around, people collapsed to the ground unconcious as the newly-formed Hadalis began to sap their life energy. People outside the initial radius were horrified, and began to scream and run away as fast as they could.
"Pretty Cure, Tidal Power!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of bravery... Making a splash, Cure Coral!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of strength... Making waves, Cure Storm!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of confidence... Diving in, Cure Pearl!"
"The defender of the sea with an ocean of intelligence... Swimming in, Cure Kelp!"
"With hope and power as vast as the ocean!" All four Cures spoke together, getting into their respective poses. "We are Pretty Cure Ocean Splash!"
Everyone around stopped in their tracks. Some cheered, others were confused. "Pretty Cure Ocean Splash is here! They'll save us!" "So it wasn't a hoax? They are real?" "That was my bus, how am I going to get home?" Just like yesterday, many people pulled out their phones and started filming.
Siren glared when they arrived. "Pretty Cure, here again?" She growled. "This time, you won't be so lucky! Hadalis, attack!"
The Hadalis immediately began charging at a group of civilians. They screamed and tried to run, but the Hadalis was much faster than them, and quickly caught up. The four Cures jumped in just in time and stopped the Hadalis in its tracks. All four of them punched the monster at once, sending backward several yards. They were fighting as one, standing in a row and holding hands, beautifully synchronized as they all ran toward the Hadalis, jumped up and brought four simultaneous kicks straight to its face. It was almost hypnotic to watch.
They broke from the line and began fighting individually. Coral and Pearl went for the Hadalis's legs, kicking them out from under it, as Storm delivered a harsh punch to the monster's stomach. This combination easily toppled the Hadalis. While it was down, all four Cures went for it. They all punched and kicked at the Hadalis from all sides, but it still managed to get back up on its feet despite it all.
"This one is tougher than it looks," Pearl said, jumping back.
Storm looked around for a solution, and spotted one. "I've got an idea!" She said, pointing to another empty bus. "They fight fire with fire, right? Light a smaller, controlled fire near wildfires to try and burn up all the oxygen to stop wildfires in their tracks, or something like that? Let's fight bus with bus!"
"That idea might just be crazy enough to work," Coral said. "Let's give it a try!"
The four Cures raced toward the empty bus. The Hadalis followed after them, trying to stomp on the Cures, but it wasn't quite quick enough to keep up with them, and they either sped or leaped out of the way of danger, just in time.
The Cures arrived at the bus, and they began lifting it up. It was heavy, but the enhanced strength of a Pretty Cure combined with all four of them lifting it at once made it a breeze. They prepared to throw the bus at the Hadalis, when a familiar voice rang out.
"Pretty Cure, Pretty Cure!" Charlotte called, coming in running. "I heard on Tweeter the Pretty Cure were here, and I see it's true! Pretty Cure, is it okay if I ask you some questions?"
"Charlotte?" Kelp said.
"Oh, is it someone you know?" Siren said, smirking. "Hadalis, go for that girl!"
The Hadalis turned and began charging for Charlotte. Realizing what was about to happen, Charlotte turned to run, but just like with the group of civilians earlier, she was much slower than it. The Hadalis soon caught up to her, and lifted one of its feet to crush her. The Cures jumped in just in time. Coral, Storm and Pearl took hold of and help up the Hadalis's foot, while Kelp grabbed Charlotte and leaped to safety.
Kelp took Charlotte to a rooftop, placing her down gently.
"You'll be safe up here," Kelp said.
"Thank you," Charlotte said. "You're Cure Kelp, right? I want-"
Kelp stopped her. "Please, not now," She said. "Let it wait until after we defeat this Hadalis."
"I understand," Charlotte said. "I'm sorry."
Kelp turned around and jumped back into the action. Storm's plan to use the empty bus seemed to have fallen through. The Hadalis had taken hold of the bus and was now brandishing it as a weapon. It swung the bus around like a baseball bat, trying to hit the Cures.
"We need to get that bus back from it," Coral said.
"Remember what we did to the streetlamp Hadalis yesterday to get it to let go of the other streetlamp?" Kelp said. "Let's distract it by getting in its face, and see if it'll let go of the bus!"
"Good idea," Pearl said.
The four Cures jumped up, out of the way of another swing of the bus by the Hadalis. They ran up the Hadalis's body toward its face, and grabbed on tightly once they reached it. The Hadalis reached up with its free hand to try and swat off the Cures, but they held on tightly. They weren't going anywhere.
"It hasn't let go of the bus yet," Coral said. "Why isn't it letting go?"
Storm looked back behind them, and her eyes widened. "Uh, girls," She said, "Now might be a good time to let go of this thing!"
Storm let go and leaped away, and Coral, Pearl and Kelp followed her example. They landed safely on the ground and looked up at the Hadalis, just in time to see it hit itself in the face, hard, with the empty bus. The Hadalis, hurt and disoriented, fell over to the ground with a crash.
"It couldn't get us off with its hand, so it thought to hit us with the bus!" Kelp said. "Not very smart, is it? Not what I expected would happen, but it works!"
Kelp ran toward the disoriented Hadalis, ready to make the final blow. "Pretty Cure, Kelp Dance!" Kelp's seaweed lashed out like a whip at the Hadalis, purifying it and turning it back into an ordinary bus. Those who were having their life energy sapped by the Hadalis awoke, and a bright light shone. When the light faded, all damage that had occurred during the battle was repaired.
All around, people erupted into cheering and applause.
Siren looked terribly angry. "I will win next time, Pretty Cure." She then disappeared in a bubble.
Kelp turned back toward the group. "Let's go deal with my sister, then."
Kelp leaped toward the rooftop where she had left Charlotte, and Coral, Storm and Pearl jumped after her.
"You're all here!" Charlotte said, grinning. "That was amazing! The Pretty Cure are invincible, and that's why I want-"
"You want to become a Pretty Cure, too," Kelp finished.
"Wow, how did you know?" Charlotte said. "You must be able to read minds?"
"Do you want to find out how I knew?" Kelp said. She looked up as Onda and Costa flew in. "Oh, you two are just in time! These are fairies, Onda and Costa."
"Fairies?" Charlotte said.
"Onda, Costa, you don't mind if I do this, right?" Kelp said. "I mean, it's just one person, and she really wants to know."
Costa frowned. "What are you-"
It was too late for anyone to stop her. Kelp formed a bubble around herself, and when it popped, she was ordinary Ruth again.
"W...What?" Charlotte said, in disbelief.
Coral, Storm and Pearl decided to follow Ruth's example, forming bubbles around themselves and turning back into ordinary Marie, Natasha and Talia.
"Y-you're supposed to keep your identities secret at all costs!" Onda said.
Natasha pointed at Ruth. "Don't look at us, look at Ruth! She turned back first, she started it!"
"You're all... Pretty Cure Ocean Splash?" Charlotte said. "I knew it! I knew I was right to put you all on my candidate list!"
Charlotte ran up to Ruth and took her hands. "Then you have to tell me how to become a Pretty Cure! Please, it's my dream!"
"How to become a Pretty Cure?" Ruth said.
"Yes, please!" Charlotte said.
Ruth said. "The truth is... I'm not sure if you will become a Pretty Cure."
"What?" Charlotte said. "Why not?"
"I'm not sure if you will, as in, it's not a guarantee," Ruth said. "It's certainly possible for you to become one."
"How can I become one, then?" Charlotte asked.
"Anyone can become a Pretty Cure," Ruth said. "There doesn't have to be anything special about you or anything. All you need is to believe in yourself, and you need the desire to fight until the end for your friends, your family, the things you love and what you think is right. That's how you can become a Pretty Cure."
"That's all?" Charlotte asked.
"That's all," Ruth replied. "But even if you have what it takes to become a Pretty Cure, it's no guarantee that you will become one. Really, it's by chance. Marie, Natasha, Talia and I all just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Thank you for telling me," Charlotte said, smiling warmly at her sister. "No guarantee? That's okay. Even if it's a small chance, even if it's the smallest chance in the world, a billion, no, a trillion to one chance, I'll still never give up on my dream."
Charlotte turned around, and looked up at the sky. "I'll never give up! Even if it takes a year, even if it takes ten years, even if it takes a hundred years! One day, I will become a Pretty Cure! This, I swear!"
The four of them smiled at Charlotte.
"I have to admit," Marie said. "She would make a good Pretty Cure."
