Tyler the Homerun Hitter

Once upon a time way back when animals could talk, there lived a homerun hitter named Tyler who lived with a monkey named Nolan. They lived in a town near a forbidden cave. Tyler was very good at baseball.
On a hot summer afternoon Tyler and Nolan were playing a game of baseball. Suddenly Nolan remembered to ask me, he said “Save Ashley from the monster attacking Ashley‘s City. If you do you will get a great reward.” Quickly Tyler got his bags, brought some baseballs and some bats to take down the monster. “And don’t go through the forbidden cave!” Nolan yelled.
Tyler packed a magic baseball, his bat, food and water in his backpack. Tyler said to Nolan “Tell the king I will go and I might not come back.”
Tyler was very nervous about fighting the monster. He was walking across the desert he felt lonely like the sand. The air was cool like ice cream.
Thirty minutes passed Tyler was out of the desert and walked on the mountains. The heat was blazing. Tyler couldn’t take it anymore.
Tyler stopped because he was hungry and very tired. Suddenly Tyler saw a sign it said “To Ashley’s City” it pointed to a cave. He was so excited he didn’t read the rest of the sign.
Tyler kept walking and suddenly he fell in a deer hole. The hole was covered by sticks and leaves. Then Tyler saw a shadow. The shadow walked up to the hole. It was JuJu Foruju, the worst baseball player ever. He looked just a little fat and bald. He also grew a very nice mustache but ugly and smelled gross. JuJu Foruju said, “Do you have any powers?”
Tyler said, “I’m very good at baseball.” Tyler was very nervous but he wasn’t a coward. When Tyler said he was good at baseball JuJu Foruju begged him to train him or I will turn you into a jelly doughnut. Tyler said, “Yes.”
Also when you are finished training me, we will have a game. Tyler’s mind was racing so much steam came out his ears. Suddenly Tyler remembered he brought some sleeping powder for emergency. But he needs to get out of the hole. Brain blast, he knew he will have to let him out of the hole to train. So I can throw the sleeping powder at him and he will fall asleep and he will make a run for it. Tyler shouted, “I’m ready for the training.” JuJu took him out and he threw the sleeping powder at him. “Yes!” he fell asleep. Tyler got his bag and ran as fast as a cheetah he was far enough JuJu Foruju won’t find him.
Tyler wasted no time getting to Ashley’s city. He should be there in 20 seconds. When Tyler got there he saw the monster with Ashley in its hand. Tyler took out his bat and the magic baseballs. He tossed the first baseball and smoked the ball into the monster’s eye and the other ball into his other eye. He put Ashley down and ran away. Ashley’s city was saved when Ashley thanked him by giving him teleportation. “Thank you,” Tyler said and he teleported back to town. He met up with Nolan.
Nolan asked Tyler “How was the trip?”
Tyler said, “It was very good and then Ashley gave me teleportation for saving her.”
“Tyler did you go into the forbidden cave?” Nolan asked.
“No,” Tyler said nervously. “Fine, I did” Tyler confessed.
“No wonder you’re here 30 minutes early” Nolan said.
“I’m going to tell the king and get my reward” Tyler said. “And I’m going to walk instead of teleporting” Tyler shouted.
