Now, you might be thinking why would a Zard fight Pidgeotto for Magikarp. Their agreement was that Zard will give items in return for a place and Charcoal, not to fight. And why Zard specifically, when there's many better choices?
But that's where Magikarp uses its other tools, its Egg Group and once it evolves, its moves. In addition to Charcoal, once the Karp evolves, it can offer the Zard an egg with Dragon Dance, something many Zard crave. They offer their body and their firstborn in return for help taking down evil.
The war is on, and there will be blood. Pidgeotto blood. They control it all. The land, the sea and the sky, the Pidgeotto shall now all die.
