Featuring the Pretty Cure team from Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo!,[3] Nodoka and the others explore Tokyo using the Dream Pendant, while encountering a monster named Ego Ego.
Nodoka, Chiyu, Hinata and Asumi arrive to Tokyo and experience virtual dream-like reality using the Dream Pendant via the Virtual Dream system. There, Nodoka encounters a girl named Kaguya, a popular model of Virtual Dreams. Later that night, at a special stage in the middle of the city, Kaguya is attacked by a fox-like monster named Ego Ego, an artificial life form that Sarena created during her research and development of Virtual Dreams. Nodoka and the others transform and fight, but Ego Ego multiplies. Then, the Yes! PreCure 5 GoGo! team: Cures Dream, Rouge, Lemonade, Mint, Aqua and Milky Rose appear and assist the Healin' Good team. After Ego Ego is defeated, he escapes, and the Yes! 5 team continues their pursuit, promising Nodoka and the others they will meet the next morning.
The next morning, Kaguya invites Nodoka and the others to a stadium, and each uses their Dream Pendants individually. Later, Nodoka and the others plan Kaguya's birthday party, while Kaguya is shocked to learn that her mother, Sarena has captured the Yes! 5 team. Sarena reveals that she plans to use the team's Dream Buds to make the Miracle Flower bloom, but still in disbelief, Kaguya runs away. Nodoka and the others are summoned by Kaguya via the Dream Whale, and learn that Kaguya is a spirit of the Miracle Flower. Soon after, Ego Ego returns and steals the townspeople's Dream Buds, including Nodoka's mother. Determined to save the people and Kaguya, the Cures transform with their partners, gaining the Partner Forms, and chase after Ego Ego.
While fighting Ego Ego, Grace and the others learn that Kaguya has little time left to live because her power was used to research Virtual Dreams, and that Sarena is attempting to use the Miracle Flower to save her. Ego Ego reveals that he wants the Miracle Flower for himself, but Grace and the others, including the re-awakened Yes! 5 team, briefly stop him. In his last effort, Ego Ego absorbs Kaguya and gains a humanoid form to attack both teams. With Grace and Dream's Dream Buds shining, the other Cures send them their powers, transforming both Cures into Dream Cure Grace, who defeat Ego Ego with "Healin' Good Dream". Kaguya is slowly fading away, but Grace asks the city to lend her the power of their Virtual Dreams. The city lights up, and with Sarena's emotions, Grace transforms into Kaguya Grace and purifies Kaguya.
Kaguya wakes up, now as a human girl surrounded by flowers, and Sarena wishes her daughter a happy birthday.
