Paw Patrol: Apollo the Not-So-Super Pup

Super Pup Sidekick?

It was a beautiful sunny day in Adventure Bay, when suddenly...

"HELP! HELP!" Cried a female voice as smoke began to fill up the sky. "Some pup, any pup, save me!" She yelled as she covered her eyes with her paw. The female was a pup herself sporting a pink collar with what seemed to be a pilot emblem on the tag. She was sitting in a field surrounded by flames.

"Never fear!" Shouted a voice in the distance. The source of the voice flew into view, revealing itself to be a bulldog pup with white and brown spots, sporting a dark-brown collar with a yellow tag. The pup wore a blue mask and red cape.

"Rubble the super pup!" The female shouted as her eyes lit up. She then looked up to see that the fire had quickly spread to the nearby tower and was growing rapidly. "Rubble! Ryder and the pups are still in the lookout! You have to save them!" She cried frantically.

Rubble smirked, beaming with confidence. "Super Rubble on the double!" He shouted, as he flew high into the sky and took a deep breath. He then began to inhale the air for a good 10 seconds and blew the air back out with the force of a typhoon.

The force of Rubble's exhale dispersed all the flames surrounding the lookout and fields. The female pup was clinging desperately to the ground, trying hard to keep herself from being swept away by the powerful gust.

"Are you alright Skye?" Asked the super bulldog as he landed near the female pup.

"Rubble that was amazing!" She exclaimed as she stood to her feet, shaking her fur.

"Aww, just doin' my super pup duty" he replied with a wink.

"You've done well Rubble!" Shouted a voice that made the two pups look up.

A light-gray pup wearing red boots, a yellow shirt and a blue mask and red cape similar to Rubble's made his descent from the air to the grass below.

"Apollo the super pup!" Both Rubble and Skye exclaimed.

"It seems I was a little late for the action." Said Apollo, as he nervously rubbed the back of his head with his boot covered paw. The pup looked to be not too far in age from Skye and Rubble. "If it wasn't for your actions Rubble, I'm afraid the fire would have surely decimated this entire area."

Rubble's eyes widened. The thought that his friends could have perished if his arrival was a bit delayed frightened him.

"But let's not dwell on what could have been." Apollo continued. "Your bravery has truly moved me." he said as he tilted his head downward and placed his right paw over his heart. "I would be honored if you would consider becoming my sidekick."

Rubble's eyes grew with excitement. "M-me? Your sidekick?" He stammered. He looked over to Skye, whose eyes were also wide with shock.

"You showed great initiative and confidence as well as courage. These are the traits that a true hero is measured by." Apollo smirked. "After all, a hero is more than just his power."

Rubble sat silent for a moment before he answered. "I've dreamt about this moment so many times. I would love to be your sidekick!" He replied, barking happily.

"Well that settles that." Apollo chuckled. "Rubble the super-pup, from this moment forward you shall be known as my trusty sidekick."

Rubble and Skye barked and cheered excitedly. "Rubble, I'm so happy for you." Stated Skye as she did her signature backflip.

"Thanks." Rubble said, looking serious. "I promise I'll do my best."

Skye smiled. "I know you wi-

Skye was cut short by a rumbling and growling sound as the entire ground began to shake violently.

"An earthquake?" Rubble mumbled, as he turned around looking both surprised and confused.

A great flash of light began to engulf everything.

"Rubble!" Skye called out. "Rubble! Rubble!"

"Rubble! Rubble!"

"Mmmm..?" A groggy Rubble turned on his stomach and groaned. He looked up with one eye open to be greeted by a dalmatian pup wearing a yellow collar with blue irises.

"Rubble wake up." The dalmatian said, playfully wagging his tail. "It's time for breakfast."
