History:
THE LEGACY OF TOYOTOMI TAKEDA
In the idyllic landscapes of Johto, the Toyotomi clan once flourished, renowned for their mastery of swordsmithing and martial arts. Their lineage, noble and proud, traced back to Toyotomi Tomoki, a humble swordsmith and fisherman. A freak storm had cast him ashore in Hoenn, where he acquired wisdom, love, and the fantastical sword style known as Gyarados Style Kata. This martial art became the lifeblood of the clan, passed down through generations. It became a sword style that's respected in the local area. Generations of peace had woven a tapestry of strength and honor, yet, like all great tales, the Toyotomi's glory began to fray at the edges. Time is the greatest enemy of all. The era of Toyotomi Takato, a man burdened by the clan's decline, marked a somber turning point. His heart, once filled with hope, became tainted by bitterness, a reflection of the clan's lost prestige.
A MARRIAGE OF NECESSITY
Toyotomi Yuki, Takeda’s mother, emerged from a lineage of humble fishermen. Her family, seeking to forge alliances, traded her to the Toyotomi clan, binding their fates in a marriage of necessity rather than love. Takato, disillusioned by the clan's fall from grace, viewed Yuki as a constant reminder of their failures. He often expressed disdain toward her, believing that her roots were a source of shame.
As the only child, Takeda became the focal point of his father's frustrations. The weight of expectation hung heavy upon him, and he often witnessed the discord between his parents. Yet, amid the turmoil, Takeda found solace in the forge, where the clanking of metal echoed like a heartbeat. His father, though harsh, recognized the boy’s potential and initiated him into the ancient family traditions.
THE ART OF SWORDSMITHING
Under the tutelage of Takato, Takeda immersed himself in the art of swordsmithing. He learned not only how to craft blades but also the philosophy behind each strike. The Toyotomi Gyarados Style Kata, a martial art birthed from the clan's progenitor, Toyotomi Tomoki, became his lifeblood. Tomoki, a humble swordsmith and fisherman, had once washed ashore in Hoenn after a tempestuous storm. There, he discovered love, a unique sword style, and the respected blessing of swordsmithing that birthed the honored blade known as Gyarados' Fury.
Takeda's days were filled with sweat and fire, where he honed both his body and mind. He grew into a forgemaster, embodying the spirit of his ancestors. His blades sang with the stories of his lineage, each one a testament to the craftsmanship that had once brought honor to the Toyotomi name.
A TRAGIC TURN OF EVENTS
However, tragedy struck in the form of a chilling silence that fell over the Toyotomi household. One fateful night, both of Takeda's parents passed away in their sleep, their deaths shrouded in mystery and natural causes. The shock left Takeda adrift, grappling with grief that threatened to consume him. Loneliness seeped into his bones, and despair clouded his once-bright future.
In the depths of his sorrow, a fleeting moment of clarity emerged. One golden evening, as the sun began to dip below the horizon, Takeda watched in awe as a wild Gyarados burst forth from the waves, its powerful form slicing through the water. The sight awakened something deep within him—a yearning for freedom, for adventure. It ignited the spark of purpose he thought had been extinguished.
A JOURNEY TO TORO
With resolve, Takeda made the monumental decision to leave Johto behind. He sought a new life, a fresh start away from the shadows of his past. His journey led him to Toro, a region filled with promise. Upon arriving, he stumbled upon the charming town of Adamas, where the warmth of the community embraced him. Its welcoming design and vibrant energy resonated with his spirit, urging him to settle down.
Equipped with only his family blade, his two Pokémon—Suija, a fierce Gyarados, and Hideyoshi, a cunning Pawniard—Takeda set out to carve a niche for himself in this new land. Every day was a struggle, yet he remained undeterred. He spent countless hours seeking work, gathering funds, and honing his skills further.
FORGING A NEW FUTURE
Takeda's dream was to rent a blade smith in Adamas, where he could continue the legacy of the Toyotomi clan while forging his own identity. In the quiet moments, he would reflect on the teachings of his father and the dreams of his ancestors. Through the flames of hardship and the anvil of determination, he would rise again.
With each passing day, the weight of his lineage became less of a burden and more of a guiding light. Takeda, the last hope of the Toyotomi clan, was determined to forge not only blades but a future filled with honor, strength, and resilience. He would seek out native masters of the blade and fist as well as any renowned forge masters to further his craft. His journey had just begun, and the path ahead shimmered with possibilities, waiting for him to carve his own story into the fabric of the world.

Takeda's strong sense of independence often leads him to shoulder burdens alone. He despises relying on others, believing that he must handle challenges by himself. This self-reliance can isolate him, making it difficult for him to ask for help or accept support from friends and allies when he truly needs it.
His empathy and compassion, while strengths, can also be weaknesses. Takeda often prioritizes the feelings and needs of others over his own, leading him to neglect his well-being. This emotional guardian role can cause him to become overwhelmed, as he may struggle to balance his responsibilities to himself and those around him.
Takeda's connection to his family's legacy can sometimes trap him in nostalgia. He finds it challenging to let go of the idealized version of his clan’s glory days, which can hinder his ability to forge a new path. This fixation may prevent him from embracing the possibilities that lie ahead in Toro.
Though sensitive, Takeda struggles to express his emotions openly. His stoic demeanor can create barriers in his relationships, making it hard for others to connect with him on a deeper level. This difficulty in vulnerability may lead to misunderstandings with those who wish to support him.
When faced with challenges or emotional turmoil, Takeda has a tendency to withdraw. His inclination to isolate himself can lead to feelings of loneliness and exacerbate his struggles. This retreat may prevent him from seeking the camaraderie and support that could help him heal and grow.

SUIJA THE GYARADOS
Suija, the magnificent Gyarados, is steeped in a rich lineage that traces back through the generations of the Toyotomi clan. This regal Pokémon was originally caught by Takeda's great-great-grandfather, a skilled warrior and bladesmith who, during a fateful fishing expedition, encountered a powerful Gyarados that had been terrorizing the local fishermen. Recognizing the strength and potential within the fierce creature, he engaged in a battle that would become legendary in family lore. With sheer determination and skill, he managed to tame the Gyarados, forming a bond that transformed it from a feared beast into a loyal companion. This Gyarados, later named Suija, became a symbol of strength for the Toyotomi clan, representing the transformative power of overcoming adversity. Over the years, Suija fought valiantly alongside each generation of Takeda's ancestors each magikarp being birthed and raised leading to its subsequent status, participating in battles that solidified the clan's reputation as formidable warriors and craftsmen. As time passed, the namesake Suija was passed down from one generation to the next through the evolution and training of each progenitors offspring, each new trainer learning the art of battle and craftsmanship through their connection with the Gyarados. With each successor, Suija adapted to new strategies and techniques, becoming more than just a Pokémon—it became a living testament to the clan's history, resilience, and pride.

During Takeda's travels to the Kalos region, he sought new experiences and opportunities to grow as a bladesmith and samurai.

The Pawnard, fiercely territorial and wary of intruders, launched a surprise attack, forcing Takeda to react quickly. Despite the initial confrontation, Takeda recognized the potential within Hideyoshi. It was not just a wild Pokémon; it was a warrior with spirit and tenacity.
